Kieta should be on many teams list free transfer and solid performer when ever he plays. Yea he is old but doesn't show it.

The Times running Skrtel to City. We are a bit short at CB and for the right amount he could be a good signing.
Also rumours we are going to sign a 13yr old from Birmingham. Smashing any record for his age of course
rumours of Niang also but I think he wannts to go to Arsenal.

I dont think anyone claims him to be Xavi like (not like Xavick) but like Lucas at Liverpool it's pretty undeniable that in the big games especially Fletcher excelled and generally was MOTM. I've no doubts had he not been suspended in the 2009 final we'd have done better in the game (may still not have won but I dont think we'd of been as bad as we was)

That rumor has been running around all summer, Lescott cost 24 mill? Anything over that and you can have him

Looks like we are actually in for him then! £30m though? That's a touch steep.
Something a tad more substantial on the Lucas Moura situation:

I wonder if we'll raise it to £30m, that should mean we'd get him.

yeah I agree when I saw some videos of him he seemed to look and play like walcott. A little more skillful I think. But I certainly wouldnt pay £20-30m for walcott. So I wouldnt pay for one that is not going to be as availble with him being brazilian
Thought this was fun, southampton have signed Paulo Gazzaniga from Gillingham for an undisclosed fee with TOMMY FORECAST going the other way on season long loan
http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2854836,00.html
The 20 year old keeper is supped to be highly rated and has had a decent run of form at Gillingham last season, may not be our instant 2nd choice but has a lot of potential
The Tommy Forecast news is more exciting, he's only got a year left on his contract and he should be stuck there for a year! Agreed by every team that we loaned him out too (mostly semi-pro at that) as the single worst "professional" in the known universe.
Sorry to any Gillingham fans in advance.

Still think he will go to either Juve or City. I think with him in his last year and publicly stating he wants to go, I doubt we will get more than £20m for him

Despite the massive age gap I'd much rather we went and got RVP rather than Lucas (my man crush on MJ/Nani though probably plays a part in this)
EDIT:
What did I say, Arsenal will never sell to Man Utd
I agree.
If he goes to Utd, he will improve them. If he goes to Juve then he is out of the league. And if he goes to City then they already have many strikers so he isnt going to make that much of a change there, might even upset the balance. Who knows lol

Yeah, it sounds like they rejected our bid then.
To be fair, we probably offered the least of all three teams, we could still improve it, but I doubt Fergie will get drawn into a bidding war. That's what Arsenal want. With that in mind he'll no doubt end up at City. They can effortlessly afford him.

Hopefully with at least two in the race they will push up the value. I wouldnt be surprised if they still offered him to Juve at a slightly lower price though.
Never suggested Fletcher was a world beater, but he is better than the options Utd have (fit) at present
Doesnt sound like RvP will even entertain going to City (which has been going around for days) - so its a case of who backs down first Arsenal selling to Utd for a larger fee, or RvP backing down and heading to Juve

is it concrete that you offered £30m? if so, that's pretty ridiculous. especially if you end up offering more.
has ferguson learned nothing from the berbatov scenario? i can't see how RVP would fit. unless (as others have said) he would make rooney play deeper and this is an explanation for why you're not looking to offer anything for modric...
What's seemingly concrete is that we offered £27m for Lucas, not RVP.
We've probably offered £10-15m for RVP, so it's not a surprise that it's been rejected.

I just cant see them selling to Utd, even if they offered more money, City would beat it. City arent going to be put off by £25m value. I think he will go between £20-25 personally.
Hopefully they spend the money straight away and then we will have let RVP go and got three strikers in. Wenger might even push Walcott up front to tempt him into signing another contract
So can Man Utd, or you wouldn't be spending £20m on Kagawa, bidding on RvP, bidding £30m for a kid in Brazil etc. you are absolutely loaded.
