Was this Denilson guy bought from I think its Sao Paulo?

I signed him on FM and he was sweet! Defensive midfielder. Aggressive. Awesome shot on him

Aye same guy i imagine, about 19 or so?

awesome! finest left back in the world for a 30-31 yr old center-half who cries when he doesn't get played where he wants and 5mil first bit of good business chelsea have done in years!

Gallas has just turned 29 actually, and I would guess he has a good 5 years left in him. Gallas had a right to complain tbh, he's proved himself to be an exceptional centre back yet kept being put at left back, the guy was a starter for the side that lost the world cup final on penalties. I reckon Arsenal got the best of the deal tbh, Arsenal desperately needed an experienced and solid cb, and Clichy will easily step into cole's shoes. Now Chelsea have lost a defensive force and a player that will be incredibly difficult to replace and have gained a player whilst useful is a burgeoning primadonna and general pain in the ar*e.

not sure who's got the best deal; for football reasons i would have thourght Arsenal have got the better deal, no real difference in quality but Gallas can play anywhere across the back 4 and imo Arsenal need Gallas more than Chelsea needed Cole (maybe thats why they got a good deal). In terms of a business deal; Chelsea have got the better deal by a mile, they've valued Gallas at around £10m which is crazy when he's 29 and in the last year of his deal.

Excellent, is it Chelsea taking them over then?

I'd be a bit miffed if I was a WH fan. Becoming a feeder club for Chelsea. Can the FA look into that if Tevez and co end up at the bridge?

I really was started to doubt Arsene due to our lack of transfers but he has really pulled a rabbit out of the hat. We have signed possibly the best CB in this league, weakened the Chelsea side as they only have 2 recognized CBs now and one half of their best CB partnership is gone. Also flogged a vibrator loving midget and got £5mill out of it. Also we have got rid of Reyes and signed a very good player in Baptista, dont know if he will settle but surely he can't be worse than Reyes.

Arsene trully does know and I'll never doubt him again

lol i missed the nett bit in your op

And you would never be able to afford me anyway

I might be wrong but I think Spurs were the second highest (gross) spenders in the premiership this summer, worked out at around £35m. Net it would have been Liverpool however.

BoomAM · 2 Sep 2006 at 02:39

I'd imagine that Spurs spending would have been offset by the sale of Carrick though.

Not even close. He won't even be the best CB at Arsenal, I'd take Toure over him any day of the week.

Too true, it's the prawn sandwich brigade.

Tbh I think Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U all have horrid home support, it can be unbelievably quite at times.

Not sure about Chelsea but both Man U and Arsenal have great away support though.
