No, i don't need the chill pill. If you followed closely the whole saga, you will know this is a fking joke. Of course i know what is the buyout clause. Definitely, let me ask you back, Would the fkerlona sell fabregas for 35M pounds if the situation is reversed??? OH NOT TO MENTION 25M payment and 10M later on!? Go check goonerblog, if what they reported its true.. Apparently Rosell already released the details.

Also, im glad hes gone, like this gunner said in other Arsenal forum... but he sums it up quite well. Cesc can rot on barca bench.. never a legend, great service only. Period.

Losing 25M? Descent? You serious? Yea Cesc would only bent for Barca.. but telling his Spanish lovers and media "the only club i will go next is Barca ONLY" really dont help... Like you said, it only blocked out healthy competitive bidders. Cesc should have kept his mouth shut, and let the club that groom him, which is arsenal, have the upper hand in nego. If not, then just play till your contract finish.. and before dont commit for long term if you really dont plan to stay long. Whatever it is, openly stating your preference of your future club can only be deemed as you trying to engineer a move away. Enough said.
and if this is true, it will be even more of a joke. the 10m add ons even depend on cesc's performance next season. Nvm bout the few Ms, really, just rot on the bench.

It's never easy to squeeze more money from a deal where there's only one bidder and the player wants to leave. Sure, everyone would like a 80M windfall like C.Ronaldo's depature to RM but it's a different issue here. No other team would even want to join the bid war because everyone knew Fabs will not consider anywhere apart from his home team.

waffak man, now looks like traore is going out on loan to QPR. nice. just fcking nice.

but he may have other plans, i guess. gibbs is doubtful. traore might be loaned. unless he wants to play verminator at LB, this might indicate he's buying...?

sos

I still believe that Nasri will extend his contract with Arsenal.
Since the departure of Fab, it could give him place to play as playmaker of which his fav position.
He just been influanced by the fxxk media.
Whatever is it, Wenger still need to select him, in order to give a big boost in Arsenal's midfield.

Just because Squillachi is old doesn't mean he's experienced. Why don't you list Silvestre too as he's experienced according to you. How many mistakes have Squillachi made that cost us?How many have we conceded last season? Does Squillachi improve the team? Ok Vermaelen,Nasri,Arshavin,Hleb and Eduardo is good buy but did he build on that? No, instead he put some weak players to play with those signings.

For goalkeeper position we are settled now with no Almunia and Szcesny as our goalie. Just have to cross fingers that he will be fit all season. Miquel is what? 18? Is he ready yet? I don't think so thus we need reinforcements at the back as clearly we don't have enough able bodies when the season drag on.

And that's just his signings. What about his excuses? What about his tactics? Can't even win Carling Cup, choke on February-April seasons after seasons and much more. Did he try to improve on that? Nope instead just hope for the best by playing kids and giving excuses when we lost. Even our top 4 spot which is his only ambition (and not challenging for title) are in danger now.

Ok so maybe I worded that one wrong but my point still stands. Is he as good as he was 7 years ago? Maybe he's already past it by looking at his performance last season. That's what you get when you buy based on price not on quality anymore.

Wenger is only successful during his first 8 years. Then what? The second 8 years as you can see we only have 1 trophy to show off. If you include those pre-season trophies surely you're deluded as it doesn't mean anything. But hey even we can't win the worthless cup this season right?

Yea right just reward underachieving players with more money just like Bendtner and those youth players. And we wonder why they are not motivated to play. That's why our wage bill is quite huge even though we don't have that much star players to pay to. Then people said we have no money because of the stadium even though we sold all the houses in our former ground. Might as well stay at Highbury if Emirates is such a money-sink. Hey we can't even fill our new shiny stadium with people now so what's the use. No one want to watch kiddie tippy-tappy football that is just frustrating to watch.

FYI Arsenal is the 3rd richest club in the world just below Manchester United and Real Madrid
