Transfer Rumour Mill

Lol Sneijder smh go away

Arsenal has 100 million pounds to spend. There is no way we're going to spend 100 million on signings, there is no reason why we cant spend say 15m on Cahill, 25m on Hazard and another 20-30m on one of Kaka or Sneijder and then set aside a chunk of the rest to pay for whatever they make over our 'cap'. And don't forget with the sale of Fabregas and Nasri, we don't just have their fee money but also as much as 200k a week in wages off our books.

If the will is their we have the means to afford Kaka/Sneijder.

And about Hazard specifically, reports today are saying Arsenal and Hazard have agreed to personal terms (his wage) and the only thing left is for Arsenal and Lille to agree on a fee. Lille value him at 26 million, word is Wenger believes he's worth as much as 35million and would be willing to go that far because he thinks Hazard is a genuine world class top tier player. He sees him becoming the next big thing.

As for Sneijder, he and Van Persie are teammates for Holland and good friends, Sneijder wants to play with him and Van Persie has been urging Wenger to get him.

Wenger needs to make his new captain happy or RVP will be in the same position Fabregas/Nasri were in this time next year.

I think we'll sign 3 big names before the window is out.

Lets be honest, you nor anybody else apart from Wenger and the board know how much Arsenal have to spend.

I think you'll find Sneijder and Van Persie arent "great friends" either.

Wish I shared your optimism with regards to signing. An article today says Wenger has only offered 6mil plus add ons for Cahill.

We don't spend 200k+ on wages for one player. So Kaka and Sneijder are out, unless they take a massive pay cut or Wenger and the board completely change the way the club is run. Neither of these is likely.

Well if the 100 million warchest claims can be doubted, then so can a rumour like that.

And even if it is true, obviously like any negotiation you don't start with your entire budget as your first offer. You lowball, they highball, you try to meet somewhere in the middle. If it's true we offered 12m for Jagielka, then we'll be willing to give 15-18 for Cahill who is younger and better.

Barcelona's first offer for Fabregas was well below 30 million.

 

[Twizzle]

warchest, lol

Arse wont spend half of that

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Arsenal have a warchest lmao they have a piggy bank ffs

That was kind of my point. Its hard to believe any of these rumours about signings, warchests, offer etc.

Rumour is Arsenal tried to get Kaka on loan, Madrid rejected because they want to sell him permanently, Arsenal now considering returning with an 18 million offer to buy him.

He's worth it.

 

[Nevcost]

geeze how olds he now, i'd be pissed if Liverpool brought an outfield player of his age

He only just turned 29...he's still got good years left in him.

 

[Spanner in the works]

You haven't being playing FM2011 lately have you?

 

[BunniesMan]

I'm more of a Fifa guy. I like to play as well as manage.

 

[boxhead]

Kaka would be a great buy but don't get your hopes up, that's a lottery at the moment. If he hits form, £18 million would look like a steal, but it's very likely he could be injured for half the season and play badly. Im honest that his stint at Real has screwed him over.

 

[Twizzle]

he's broken and no where near the player he used to be at Milan

 

[HowHigh]

lol @ chelsea offering us benayoun back + 7 mil for mereiles.....no thanks
Offer was rejected but they might come back with a bigger cash offer...I hope we don't sell because mereiles has been great for us so far.

 

[Twizzle]

they offered him and 35mill for Modric, seems as though they just want him off their wage bill

 

[BunniesMan]

Real Madrid in crisis.
By this time next year:
Ozil -> Liverpool
Ronaldo -> United or City
Benzema -> Arsenal

 

[HowHigh]

Whats wrong at Real Madrid?

Love to see Ozil in a Liverpool jersey..

do you also believe in the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny ?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Özil is the one who will leave but Franco FC are hardly in crisis they'll just go and buy Götze, Hazard or Erkissen or probably all 3. They sold Robben and Sneijder in 2009.

Stupid club
