Ah well. At least it's only the sun that is saying anything about it. But then, other than Hangeland, I don't really know of a CB for Arsenal, in their price bracket.

Times are reporting Liverpool have bid for Distin and are interested in signing Tuncay. Think Tuncay would be a good signing, but probably as 3rd or 4th choice striker, still think we'd need to bring in a second choice striker as well.
Yeah it is, i am sure there are better price/performance ratios out there, but if we did get pato for a decent price then thats exactly the type of msigning i think we should make.
Dos Santos looks good. Can only imagine in ~5 years time a midfield headed by Michael Woods not Frank Lampard and a strike force of Dos Santos and Pato

Not bad replacements for Hyypia and Voronin but nothing more than that.
The bubble?
The bubble has burst
Real Mardrid offering Kaka £200k a week, Pato for £38m, Berbatov for £30m, Liverpool wanting £35m for Alonso, seems pretty bad still

If he can adapt to the premiership, then yes a fantastic signing. But that's my big worry regarding Silva.
Are those all confirms bids/offers that have been accepted, or is it just paper talk?
How long has it been since the biggest transfer in the world happened? I'm pretty sure it was long enough ago to enable the player to retire since...
Doubt you'll sign anyone for a while, you're in the same boat as us tbh. got to let the silly money be spent first before you can really move on targets.
I think he'd be a risk, and he'd also be expensive. Most importantly I'm almost certain he won't come to England
Also, people need to remember the complete dive the pound has taken in the exchange rate.
Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid might seem like the biggest transfer in the world to us, but in Euros, it's actually not.

Pato is worth 50 million if he signs a lengthy contract - he is going to be the best striker in the world within 2-3 years, hes miles ahead of torres. look at his scoring record on wikipedia

Im with you on the fact Pato has huge quality and potential - already better than Torres? Not with you on that one yet... Torres is another level, give Pato 2 more seasons and he will be a world beater.
You cant really compare the statistics as they wildly differ in terms of one statutory attribute within the statistcs. Pato has played less than 25% of the games that Torres has, there is no way of knowing if Pato will still have a better game-goal ratio when he reaches 270 games played.
Its a bit of a stretch to declare that anyone..Pato included, will be the best striker in the world within 2-3 years. I absolutely agree that Pato is hugely talented, whether or not that talent will come to resolution is a different matter. Frankly, if it was me , there is no way I would pay £38m for a 19 year old, no matter who the 19 year old is.
