Summer Transfer Window 2013/2014 aka Arsenal , we can afford folks and the mancs really want Fellani

We aren't even giving them something to think about with our pitiful joke of a bid. Offer up £50m and then see what happens.

If anyone at Man Utd genuinely thought we could sign a player like Fabregas for £30m, then they need their heads testing.

To be blunt, I can't see anybody convincing Fabregas to leave Barca, that would be moyes's problem.

I'm only concern that if a deal is to had, then it's not too late. £80M+ is a lot of cash to sit on during the close window. We've had the same thing the last 3 or 4 seasons. It's unsettling for the rest of the team. I'd be annoyed at Levy if he changed his mind 2 games into the new season. Now's the time.

we have cash to spend. we had £50m excluding the £17m we spent on paulinho. profit from bale should be sunk into the new stadium. call the north stand the 'bale' stand.

i believe we have a strong team even without bale, especially if we bag soldado and i'd like holtby given the playmaker role. bale isn't really a playmaker, he's just ...... bale.

bernard or lamela would be nice additions if he went.

When was the last time Liverpool won the league?

I was unaware this was the only trophy, my bad.

If we are going to be like this, what is the point of Arsenal getting a CL spot anyways, haven't even won it once.

robbo, a few days ago you were responding to the bid with things such as ''but he hasn't said no though''

We were responding to the general interest and negotiations, not to the bid amount.

I don't see other teams (Man City/Chelsea) celebrate qualification like a trophy (we'll they have actually qualified, Arsenal still haven't).

I think the celebration was more to do with the fact it was Spurs we pipped on the last day of the season.

 

[Admiral Huddy]

still nothing confirmed on soldado but if yesterdays rumour from some camp that he is on a 13:00 flight today to london then something may come of it later on.

on this day in 1994. spurs signed klinsmann from monaco. must be a good sign

I hope so but doubt it's true. It's been reported that Levy's been on holiday and only returning today to sort the Bale situation.

I never once said I thought the bid would be nearly enough.

Well you have to be in it to win it. Might as well just make 4 teams be in the CL every season then as most dont win it.

Bale is 3/1 to break the world transfer record, tempted...

Be quick

Just making irrelevant points like yours

I don't know what it is about Daniel Levy, but everything I see about him in the press, he always comes across as a spoiled brat

It's just that all the Spurs fans talk him up as some kind of magical negotiator.

He's an awful negotiator. Waits until the last day of a transfer window to get big money, doesn't allow any time to spend it. Ridiculous way to run a football club.

 

[Azza]

I don't think Bale to RM is a good move for himself but for Spurs the money and maybe players involved in the deal would be great for themselves.

this isn't true. he is a good negotiator but he plays brinksmanship too often and this riles spurs fans or atleast he has done in the past. i can't knock him this window. paulinho was done rapidly, chadli caught a lot of people by surprise and he's stumped up the clause fee for soldado, the sticking point is the installments.

he's doing the right thing with bale and is making rm look desperate.

levy always tries to balance the books as opposed to the city or chelsea approach and i respect him and lewis for this.

 

[Breeze]

Champions League is the pinnacle of the european game why not celebrate qualification as a proud achievement?

I suppose you have to celebrate something you're starved of actually winning a trophy.

I'm sure City and Chelsea are more in the green than anyone

Thats because they are quite a way ahead of Arsenal and certainly liverpool squad wise and expectations wise. City, United and Chelsea would be expected to take the top 3 spots. Getting the last CL spot over your rivals is something to celebrate. You are the archetypal Liverpool fan who thinks their club is still the nuts and hate it when anyone suggests another club is bigger / better.

Personally I would rather celebrate being in the CL if I was an Arsenal fan than nothing. If Liverpool get 4th next year I would be amazed if you don't all go nuts.
