Looks like Cole has stayed then?

Mundu · 1 Sep 2006 at 00:51

I have no idea.

Gooner14 · 1 Sep 2006 at 00:52

I expect he's gone. I doubt we will see any annoucement until the morning

Hlebio · 1 Sep 2006 at 01:00

Both Reyes and Cole have left, and both Gallas and Baptista have arrived.

It doesn't need to be announced tonight, or even tomorrow (although it probably will be).

no defenders to sort it out.

one old man in.

The BBc page has changed to saying that the Cole Gallas deal is completed.

See it from an arsenal perspective, one of the best proven CB's in the premiership for a whining traitorous scumbag who was going to get lynched if he ever turned up at the emirates wearing red.

Personally i think there might be a bit more to the deal, the rumours were that Cole was holding up the deal because he wanted £4 millions worth of agents fee's and loyalty bonuses paid by arsenal which they refused. I'm thinking it could be £5 million cash payment but arsenal have avoided any extra's which dont have to be disclosed as part of the transfer, which essentially puts the value of the deal up some more.

From a financial perspective its not great, but from a footbal perspective we've got rid of 2 players who were causing trouble, and brought in another 2 of proven quality who can add to our team this year.

I'm probably the only happy arsenal fan right now but i think the club have done well, £7mil total for the day and 2 quality players = job done.

off topic :-

Now the transfer window has closed i am looking forward to an up to date PES 5 Option File

Kerplunk · 1 Sep 2006 at 08:46

5m and Willy Gallas for the best left back in the world.

FFS, Im glad hes gone, but thats peanuts! :mad:

I was hoping for a lot more money but can't complain about the players involved. Very happy with transfers for once

A bit more harmony to the Arsenal squad now that he has gone. Can only be good news

Aye, more midfielders than we know what to do with. About time the defence was sorted, ah well - give if till January & we can live in false hope again

Personally i think its another inspired transfer season by Wenger, he's brought in 3 quality players (gallas, rosicky, baptiste) for a total of £7mil (rosicky), and got rid of 2 moaning whingers and zenedine cygan for a combined total of £9mil.

Only wenger can buy 3 world class players, strengthen the squad and actually make money out of it

Arsenal apparently also signed Denilson the Brazil under 19 captain for up to £4m
