if i am AW/Arsenal manager, surely i will sell him. No doubt. MILK manC gaogao 1st. The board has refused AW's transfer kit. And if such an offer comes in, i cant see the board will reject. Their purpose of running this club is because of the $$. As long as their pocket is full, they will be happy, vice versa, if ask them fork out money from their pocket, it is very hard

I doubt it

Is Arsenal deep in debt?
Is City Cesc preference or RM if he goes?
Will AW part with his capt. ?

*tears of joy*... finally finish my paper.... fuuh... lack of sleep the past couple of days... what to do...brought it upon myself...last minute work.. i never learn =P



I still remember BENTLEY's longshot... THAT ONE.... lagi la..... (great goal, but doesn't make him good, fluke goal tho a nice one hehee not gonna get one like that again (okok i stop being sour grapes =P )

Because your results too good they fly you out straight to cambridge here? =D

Mate, i'll have a pint of strongbows or bulmers! (apple cider beer yum!) some big fat english chips to go with it...

Ok i wanna pick up on this point... i find this real interesting, it's been like a month or 2 now (bar the chelsea game) man utd has been drawing games 1-0, pulling out goals from last minute and the media calls them champions elect for grinding out victories. Liverpool has been doing this for most of this season and they're on top. When we're winning ugly and grinding it out shouldn't we have that "champions elect/champions luck" as well ?

All man utd's games have been less than convincing really.. i was even falling asleep during the man utd chelsea match despite the goals.. it wasn't like man utd was all over them anyways, still i will not take it away, a good victory and hats off to a game that could be 5-0. (interesting corner taking too, my friend noted that roma did it couple years back, perhaps man utd picked it up when they played roma ? hehe , and it seems alot of ppl in england tried it before- in casual sunday football games that is)

anyways hull's gonna have a go at us at home this weekend, i hope our defense and midfield know what they have to do and roll up their sleeves, considering our situation with injuries and form, im happy to grind out victories until we find our form and get injured players back, An improved performance from the boltons, portsmouth, villa games would be great not expecting much but still anticipating the match eagerly...felt so long since the last match.

If you wanna face it, we are not champion's and should not be expected to put up champions display esp with this kind of situation now. We are ambitious yes, but we're realistic, we're not going to say "we're going to jump to the moon" because we are ambitious, lets be realistic about it. Hopeful and expectation is 2 different things as well lets remember..

consider this... given our poor form... playing like "crap" for most of the season, players out, lack of quality etc etc.. and to be 8 pts off the leaders? i'll take it!! The league is as tight as ever, i think we're hitting a plateau for a moment, and the other clubs even other divisions are notching up. Think of it as ppl now shaping up their scouting systems.. last time it used to be only arsenal, now alot of clubs spend alot on their scouting network, it is said you'll prolly get 10-15 scouts at a game even a lower key league one.. Thats how much reality has changed. It'll take a breakthrough to push the performance boundaries again. AW came and brought about the last breakthrough (if you don't count sugar daddys as breakthroughs) with his sports science and scienticfic obesesion and scouting policys.

As we all know that AW has fund to spend but he is very cautions in doing that because he studied economy b4...so he know what is best for the club and he will not make Arsenal like Leeds United.....Arsenal is not a place for star players, Arsenal is a place for developing star players s....

i hate to see arsene once again said that players that will come back from injuries is like a new signing. pfft =P i will not fall for that haha
but i don't mind if we didn't sign anyone after january transfer, though.
after all, we got a lot of promising youth players, we can promote them cautiously to the first team since we lost so many players through injuries.

p/s: arsene statement above, it seems like every season we'll have one. =P

I'd say Wenger or the board would be stupid not to sell. Whether Cesc will leave for Man City is another matter. 120m for a single player is just plain ridiculous in epic proportions, no player is worth that kind of money. Not even Cesc.

Bro best asset or not it would be crazy to turn down a 120m offer. Imagine who we could buy with 120m.

For example with 120m we could get: (Below is clearly for fun and example purposes.)

10m for Yaya Toure
30m for David Silva
30m for David Villa
15m for Cristian Zapata

The rest totalling 35 million into the stadium fund and wage bill.

We will have a lineup like this assuming all stays fit:

---------------Almunia-----------------

Sagna-----Toure----Zapata-----Clichy

-----------------Yaya--------------------

Walcott---------Nasri-------------Silva

-------------Villa-----Van P------------

Stronger if we don't sell Cesc or if we sell Cesc ?

whyy arshavin, he's 28 and for 20m its not worth it. he might be really good in the russian league, but he might be shyte in the premier league.
i'd look into someone like arteta.

A quick update on the Arshavin saga:

Arsenal closer to sealing the deal for Arshavin


Guardian UK

The 2nd blue text caught my attention. I wasn't aware that we were using Alisher's "expertise" in this negotiation?

i second sieghart comments
if theres 120m pounds offer for fabregas,
take it and buy those as below
but then again,knowing wenger style.
sell 120m,keep 120m and dont buy anyone
if he plans to do that. id rather not have him sell fabregas
few ways to look at it

u sure those guys wanna come to emirates? especially after cesc left..just look at us after henry left..wheres hleb & flamini? thats why i dont think wenger will sell..

but if they wanna come here, why not? villa

Haha like I said its just for fun Anyway its a win win situation even if Wenger doesn't get anyone to replace Fabregas if we sell him. 120m will wipe out a huge chunk of our stadium debt and Nasri so far looks to be a competent replacement. This 4 months while he is injured will be a good in sight into life without Fabregas IMO.

Bottom line is 120m for a player regardless if he is your best player or not is just plain crazy.

hi casanova88

PWND!! ehehehe

anyway, with 120M, AW will buy the entire french under 21 team... spanish under 21 team and maybe ivory coast under 21 team.

ahahahahah

lol, i dun think i can change my nickname tho.. yea, abt the 120 million we will get if we sell cesc, first, cesc wouldn't want to go to citeh even for 120 mil, coz he is not dumb. he rather go to barca or real. and if we can get villa, silva, alonso, toure, the entire french under 21 team, the entire spanish under 21 team, then i say, cesc can go! lol.. not really. i want him to stay

wuts ur last name m8?
curious because i have a very good friend whose name is joe who shares exactly the same opinion.
