You haven't got a clue how transfers work have you? Not a clue.
So apart from Real themselves getting the Ronaldo and Kaka deals done some six months ago in all but signature, saying very little themselves this summer on either of the biggest deals in football. Other than english press theirs very little evidence of anything they've done "wrong" this summer.
Infact if both deals were all but sown up 6 months ago, ALL the press BS since then on Ronaldo has been just that. Infact when it came out Ronaldo was leaving for 80mil it happened very quickly, from offer of the exact right amount to terms being agreed with very little fanfair or multiple offers as happens for deals that aren't pre arranged.
Please stop banging on about these players, it's getting rather boring reading the same post a hundred times.
Song had a few good games last season, he needs game time tho. Song's 21! Granted he might turn into nothing but a bit part player but he could also turn in the next Viera.
If you could tell me where I bashed them in that post please, go ahead. I was simply getting at the fact that people are convincing themselves Wenger will buy replacements, I didn't bash either in the slightest despite thinking they are piles of poo, my point, the only point I made, was that Wenger has made it clear on multiple occasions that he THINKS both are the future of the club and is more than happy with their on field performance. In that situation I'm saying he'd be absolutely nuts to buy replacements would he not?
As for Furton, lets see, Gilberto's not world class, ok whatever, he's still first team for Brazil(and one of brazil's best performers in the last 2 years of smaller cups). Diarra most certainly WILL be world class and Flamini is fantastic at the position he plays which isn't really DM but a old school CM. Mercenary, not sure what slumming it in Arsenal reserves/bench for 3/4 years makes him mercenary?
Gilberto wanted to leave for first team footie, though with Flamini and Diarra gone, he would clearly have been first team. Flamini wanted to go, because we never offered him a great contract to that point, was on pretty low wages for a long time for a guy in his position at the club. We could have kept Diarra for 6 months and told the guy with Gilberto and Flamini moving on he'd clearly be first team.
All 3 players were allowed to leave and if you don't think Wenger was capable of persuading at least one of them to stay for first team footie in the champs league with a decent contract, well, thats naive. They were allowed to leave because as shown this year all year long, Wenger things Song and Denilson are more than good enough replacements.
