All New Summer 2008 Transfer Merry Go Round/Rumour Mill

16m

Wenger splashing the cash

The_One · 23 Jun 2008 at 17:59

I'd put money on the fee being quite a bit lower than that tbh

£10m for Tevez is an absolute bargain (even if that doesnt inclube the £5m Utd still owe for next season - £20m in total for such a hard worker and pretty decent scorer is peanuts these days , article does suggest that £10m can be paid at any time during the two years to make the initial loan permanent, so Im sure that will happen when Gill is back from hols next week
(although that also means any new transfers will also take some time)

Obviously that doesnt include any wages but even so

Admitedly the article may not be genuine/accurate but £15 - £20m was the rumoured price originally

Snip if you ask me

Bargain. Get him signed permanently Mr. Gill!

peetee · 23 Jun 2008 at 20:06

ay definately a bargain

Ripper · 23 Jun 2008 at 20:20

Should think so considering all the crap we went through to get him

aslco · 23 Jun 2008 at 20:29

Didin't you pay 10 mill in the first place. So 20 mil overall for him.

Hlebio · 23 Jun 2008 at 20:29

Regarding Nasri..

(From his official site)

"We are sorry to have acted précipitement by announcing that Samir had signed with Arsenal, but samir is still under contract with Olympique de Marseille so far."

Heh.

Papers shouldn't be allowed to print rubbish like that and claim it as fact.
How would anyone at the Daily Star know what RA has said to PS about any signings or what his plans are

The translator leaked the story.

medley · 23 Jun 2008 at 20:51

The player himself said he was signed but now hes not? Very strange. Surely only a matter of time before they sort this out

Lol just seen that removed from his site, oh dear, there must still be a few details to iron out.

Probably just faxing of documents to be done or something minor.

Exactly what I said in the original post (allowing for the 2nd season on £5m loan from 08-09)

Im sure the Nasri deal will be completed by the morning - is strange how it happened though

wedgie · 23 Jun 2008 at 22:22

Another £10m seems fair enough for Tevez. Have to say I was questioning whether or not it would be worth it when it looked like it would be a further £20m to sign him. He's no £30m player for me.

[ASSE]Hinchy · 23 Jun 2008 at 22:25

Can't believe Arshavin is 27. He's a fantastic player and I'd never even heard of him, thought he was a young player just breaking onto the scene. He's been my favourite player to watch so far in these championships..

wedgie · 23 Jun 2008 at 22:29

I was surprised he was that old too. Signed him on footie manager when he was in his early twenties, didn't think it was that long ago tbh.

aslco · 23 Jun 2008 at 22:30

A few people were blaming the dutch's loss due to not having a good ball distibuter, saying ENgalaar was rubbish. I can't beleive it! I thought he was brilliant. Anyway the entire russian team have impressed me and theres no embarassment for England now people have realised the teams who knocked us out are ones to watch in the future!

Palyuchenko or whatevers hes called has also been quite good in strike.

I think the mistake we made (and by 'we' I mean McClaren + staff) was not realising how strong they actually were. We still should have qualified, but if the job was done properly then it would have been clear how vital the games against the clearly weaker teams were.

With Arsenal!? Give it a week and it will be confirmed, like with the Ramsey deal it took days for it to be official, I wouldn't bet against this being the same.
