Arteta

[Darker shade of Blue]

He played wide a few seasons ago.
His best position is central, and it is there that he has played for some time. With respect, I'm not sure if you know enough about the guy after reading that ( highlighted ) to make your verdict hold water.

He is 5ft 8. I think that is probably tall enough for a play maker lol. He rarely loses the ball.

Fabregas is likely to be sold for a sum in the reason of £80 million ( rediculous I agree ), so I really don't think £30 mill for a player of Arteta's quality is too much in comparison.

Arteta owns the Prem. Will Gourcuff?

I will bet you, Barca wont no where near pay that amount suggested.

It's getting silly isn't it?
You can buy entire clubs for less than some players. I fear for football.

Gets very silly, Barca are cheeky twats saying 30m should get him, good luck on that one.

Didn't you just offer £20 mill for Milner which was rejected?
I like Milner, but he isn't a creative midfielder in the same bracket as Mickey. We tried to buy him once for about £10-12 mill.

I like that Adam Johnson though. That was a good transfer if ever there was one for that price. We need someone like him. Bellamy is a great player but he is old now.

doubt Bellers will produce that season ever again, his record for city is impressive though. i think 20m is fine for milner, not more. English players cost the earth. Ben Foster went for around 6m ffs.

I need to hit the sack now, but we can pick this up another time. I'm sure it won't disappear any time soon, and with Bellamy, Ireland and Arteta all linked, there'll be plenty to talk about for a while lol.

See ya soon m8.

Sooner have Arteta over Pienaar. Is he the same player since his injury though Darker Shades?? 30M is a lot of money considering Alonso went for similar wonga and is younger.

I doubt Moyes would even sell him without resigning unless the fee was enormous. Without being biased, he is better than Alonso in many ways.

He is not in the same league as Alonso. He is an average player at best who is old and slow not what we need at all. I pray to god we don't sign him. And sign someone in the mould of gourcuff or ozil.

You are obviously a football expert.

While I agree with the first part of the statement (him not being in the same league as Alonso), I disagree with the rest of your post.

He only just turned 28... how is that old?

I would gladly take Arteta, not for anywhere near the mentioned price though. 15-18 million yes... not more.

But then again you are correct, for that money I am pretty sure we could also get Ozil and for a bit more probably Gourcuff.
