Its all very subjective, something that Andrew was trying to say above. They had the money from the Cavani sale. If he can get them 20-25 goals they'll be happy and consider the money well spent. Didnt Wenger lose out on Mata because he was unwilling to spend the extra 2M that Chelsea were?

Im surprised they've lost out on Higuain. Much more stable option than Suarez, cheaper, and will probably score more goals. I get it that Suarez has more flair and that ability to make something out of nothing but its a proven goalscorer that Arsenal really need.

Aye generally but to be fair in this case most would agree the player isnt worth more than what we've bid for him.

Yup, I hope thats rubbish because Spurs would probably utilize most of that money. Unlike a certain 35M deal we know of, oh well........

I suppose thats what you get thought for leaving it this late when everyone knows how desperate we are. Good job again club management.

Sheesh, no way should we bid more than 7M for him. Lyon can piss right off.

From the Sun: Real Madrid will offer Tottenham £51million cash, £25million-rated Angel Di Maria and £19million Fabio Coentrao in a bid to land Gareth Bale in a world-record £95million deal. I'd snap their hands off if that were true.

Thats the key point isnt it. Lets hope they are. You can add Anita to that list too.

Okay, problem there's a lot of youngsters we're relying on there. Based on last season's evidence it just doesnt fill me up with confidence. Least we need to do is get a Perch type versatile player who can play in 2-3 positions.

Someone pacey, who can run the channels, a bit younger too preferably. The longer this goes on of course the more clubs will try to hold us to ransom. Why dont we ever learn ffs.

I agree with Ant though, considering we'll be paying 7-8M for someone of his age and past record, surely there are other options out there. Its gotten to that point now though that it'll be a relief to have anyone is, at least he cant be worse than Shola.

Should be ideal for that floated free kick routine then.

We thought the same with Ferguson/Tavernier/Bigi last season. One of them playing at a time might be able to hold his own, but if we get a a few players injured together and have to chuck in 2 or 3 of the young lads together at once we'll struggle just as same last season.

Its just silly, and something we've discussed time and time again. We just need a bit of a push to be competing for top 5. Its not like Ashley has to provide it out of his own pocket either considering the TV money etc. If we would just go out and spend 10-12M on a proven defender or something like that in addition to the strikers. Not asking much considering the above situation. But the fat man just wont budge. So given that I'd be absolutely bloody delighted if we got both Gomis and Remy. Its what we need, anything apart from that would be showing ambition which is just not be expected here any more.

Not all that bad to be honest, wish there was less blue.

Somebody posted this on facebook So much for the black logo

Approximately 4 posts then, I see its been updated already. 12 posts before this discussion, 16 now.

Contact Ant. If you had chest hair removed before the tattooing you get a 25% extra I think.

No. Painting the toontastic logo on your house gets you 1000 posts, 500 if you dont do it at the front. 2000 for your car. 5000 for a tattoo on the arse. Thats the way we do advertisements here. Im not even going to try to begin to explain what people with 30K plus posts have been upto

Any little slip up up and until the time we sign a few players is inevitably going to be accompanied by heralds of doom and gloom, because it'll just be adding to the tension of the window and seen as a direct consequence of not strengthening. Any slip ups after we've signed a couple of players will invariably be because it will take some time for them to gel together

Looks decent, could have done without the blue. Hope there's no patch on the back.

They've made a new bid for Fabregas so I seriously doubt it.
