LOL i reckon if we bid about £45mill that would make Utd think about it, we may not get him and Utd could hold out for £50mill but its worth a shot. But sadly Wenger doesnt seem to get it :/
 
£45m would be decent but you just know, he'll get fit at Arsenal and the score against us and Arsenal may even beat us then :(

Realistically, you will have to try for Rooney, he's the only proven striker in the PL left that Arsenal could get and need. After that lame bid for Cabaye, for a player Arsenal don't need, I don't think Arsenal realise who they need. I blame Kroenke and your board, not Wenger.

It would be a strange twist to sell rvp to utd for £25m then buy Rooney for £45m. I think he would do well as I think he needs to be the top man but I don't rate him.

Let him stay and sulk at utd, I think that will do us better than spending £50m on him.
 
Rooney set up two goals on saturday for us and he was only on for 30 minutes so I would rather keep him and see how Januzaj and Kagawa do in the role behind RvP before thinking of selling Rooney. There may be a very desperate Arsenal in January that we can extort £35m out of.

Tottenham are in advanced talks to sign Brazilian attacking midfielder Willian from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala in a deal worth about £30m.

Source: BBC

The 25-year-old has also attracted interest from Liverpool, but it is understood the Reds have missed out.
The attacking midfielder, who has two Brazil caps, is expected to make a decision on his future on Tuesday.
If Spurs pull off the signing, it would be the third time this summer they have broken their transfer record.

In July, they signed Brazil midfielder Paulinho for a fee of just under £17m from Corinthians and earlier this month they spent £26m on Valencia's Spain striker Roberto Soldado.

Their previous high was the £16.5m paid for Darren Bent from Charlton in 2007.

Willian joined Anzhi in January for a reported £30m after five-and-a-half seasons at Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk.
But the attacking midfielder has become available as Anzhi attempt to cut costs after a change in strategy by their owner.

This summer, Spurs have also signed 25-year-old French midfielder Etienne Capoue, 25, for £9m from Ligue 1 club Toulouse and Belgium international winger Nacer Chadli from Dutch club FC Twente for £7m.

The signings come amid continuing rumours about Gareth Bale's future at Spurs. The Wales forward, 24, has been ruled out of action for two weeks by a foot injury, but speculation continues that Real Madrid will make a formal £80m move.

I wouldn't say he's sulking, he played rather good for a player wanting to leave.

They'll make a bid for Rooney a couple of days before the windows ends. Arsenal will get Rooney in one of the 2014 transfer windows. No way will United accept a bid from Chelsea unless it's something ridiculously high.

That would certainly get the ball rolling..

I think this is the kind of player wenger wants but doesn't need.. yes he scores goals but he plays as a CAM now not an out and out striker.. Wenger needs strikers..

Rooney is an out and out striker. The only reason he doesn't lead the line is because RvP is a better goal scorer. He would score plenty for Arsenal as their main striker.

Arteta sits a bit deeper.I think he's more of goalscorer, he's got a good eye for goal and can pass well. He's an advanced midfielder that can chip in with 10 goals a season. He's just needs a chance at a top team i reckon..his head was gone last season.

Arteta sits deep at Arsenal because that's the role he's been asked to fill under Wenger's 4-2-3-1 formation. When he was at Everton, he used to play further forward at times.
He isn't a prolific goalscorer but he's scored at least 6 league goals in four out of the past 5 seasons, compared to Cabaye who has managed it twice.

edit: as for Flamini, he is training at Arsenal but Wenger has already ruled out signing him some time ago. Personally, I'd take him as we could do with a DM.
 
General consensus seems to be Spurs has sealed Willian for €41m (£35m). I can only hope that we feel that's too much because we think we can get Lamela or A.N Other for the same price or less....

Fair play to Spurs if they end up with both though.
 
We need more than just a striker. We need:

GK, CB, RB, CDM, SK

We don't need Cabaye. We already have Santi, Jack, Rosicky, Ramsay. First 2 are already better than Cabaye.

Apparently we are close to agreeing terms with the Valencia goalkeeper Guaita. Barca recently wanted him, and I always remember him playing against RM and Ronaldo throwing a hissy fit when he saved everything he could throw (kick) at him.

Not sure about RB. Williams would be a good CB for £10m or so, Pogba or Kondogbia would be good at CDM and I'm still waiting for Suarez to throw another teddy out of the pram when Arsenal qualify for champs league. Michu's good, but no way at the rumoured £25m.
 
Dream list: Begovic, Sakho, Kondogbia, Pogba and Benteke.

Although I'm guess none of them will actually happen. (Also, I'll admit that the main reason I want Kondogbia, is because his name can slightly resemble Drogba if you really want it to, and I do.)

Tottenham splash the cash to bring in Willian and Lamela as Gareth Bale nears exit door

TOTTENHAM last night shattered their club transfer record once again as they splashed out £60million on Willian and Erik Lamela – paving the way for Gareth Bale to confirm his £104m move to Real Madrid by the end of the week.
Brazilian Willian completed a £30m move from Anzhi Makhachkala , while Argentine winger Lamela is today expected to seal a £29.9m transfer from AS Roma.

Real’s £18m defender Fabio Coentrao is close to agreeing a switch and, with Bale valued at £86m, the package has reached the £104m fee Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has placed on the Welshman.

A source close to the Bale deal told the Daily Express last night: “Talks are still ongoing. It is not tied up yet, but we hope soon. There are still some details to be agreed.”

If the Coentrao deal is successfully concluded, Spurs will have taken their summer spending to an astonishing £136m.

Willian, 25, underwent a medical in London yesterday and signed a five-year deal worth about £65,000 a week, Spurs having captured the skilful forward from under the noses of Liverpool.

Lamela, 21, flew in to London yesterday after a fee was agreed with Roma.

The winger had talks with Tottenham’s director of football Franco Baldini and is expected to finalise his deal after a medical today. Spurs had already spent some £57.6m this summer, on Roberto Soldado, Paulinho, Nacer Chadli and Etienne Capoue.

As the Daily Express revealed last week, Tottenham’s majority shareholder Joe Lewis has given Levy the go-ahead to back manager Andre Villas-Boas with funds this summer in a bid for a major push for the Premier League title.

Initially the idea was to persuade Bale – who has not travelled with the squad for their Europa League match away to Dynamo Tbilisi tomorrow – to stay for another year, but with the Madrid deal now all but complete barring the small print, top-class replacements have now been secured.

Spurs could also spring one last surprise in this extraordinary window for the club, with a £7m move for Steaua Bucharest centre-back Vlad Chiriches also revived in the last 24 hours, and only awaiting a work permit to be completed.

The London club are also keen on 24-year-old Ajax defender Toby Alderweireld, who has only a year left on his contract – and the Dutch club’s Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen.

Most reports claim that we were offered the chance to match Spurs bid (both to club and player) but we weren't willing to and stuck with our valuation. Tony Barrett's wrote in tonight's Times that there's cash to spend but that the club aren't willing to pay more than what we think is the correct valuation. He mentioned our interest in Lamela in relation to that too and said that we're interested but not at Roma's asking price (£30m).
