Looks like Arsenal is really fighting hard for Sahin since Song is targeted really hard by Barcelona. Well if he comes he comes. I won't be surprised if we get Walcott or Dempsey by the end of the transfer window.

Even if I sell your favorite player Stewart Downing in this scenario, for 12mil, well let's say i give LFC another extra 3 mil for his British genes and make it 15mil.

We would still have a paper loss of 5 mil.

On the contrary, Oussama bombed or got sacked for stealing a hairgel in Tesco, and leaves the club on free.

So which one is the better deal here?  You will still have losses!
Oh now we are getting back to the faith discussion again. So based on your logic, it's better to buy BMWs that break down regularly and having a KIA that is equally problematic but has no resale value? WOW, i'm impressed.

Brilliant theory you have there. Petre just took the words from my mouth. Enough said.

i expect a 3 way battle between liverpool - arsenal - spurs..and prolly newcastle

imho..yes.plus the late addition might need some time to gel while we are going against the big 5 in the first few games.
quite hard to predict.will have to see how we fare till October (by then we have fought all the big 5)
