pudge said:Well, as we never went back to Arsenal after an initial bid, or spoke to RVP himself, I'd be curious to know how many clubs partook in a bidding war for him.johnmc said:pudge said:Couldn't tell you.
If you can enlighten me with that fact, I'd appreciate it.
Guessing there isn't a bidding war going on anyway.
Although, I'm assuming that would only be a guess as well?
As that's all everyone has right now

What I am arsed about though is that this significantly weakens us in my opinion.
Top class players are few and far between, and hard to get.
Really hope we have something lined up.
The club seem to be a lot more professional in their dealings now & i cannot believe that they would allow Tevez to leave without a top notch striker in the bag.stavros said:Not particularly arsed about the fee, but for what its worth, we will be saving around £25m.

Tez Tosterone said:The fee mentioned on virtually all Italian media tonight is €12.5m which equates to something like £11m or thereabouts.
A possible replacement - Jovetic - has picked up a serious hamstring injury tonight for Montenegro.
It this is officially confirmed tomorrow then I would see this as a satisfactory outcome for us.
Italian clubs are like vultures hovering above players in the last year of their contracts. They get players on the cheap from England but prices for their prized assets are sky high.If that news is correct i`d put an extra £5m on the price overnight. Fuck em , its a shark infested pool.Tez Tosterone said:The fee mentioned on virtually all Italian media tonight is €12.5m which equates to something like £11m or thereabouts.

Can't just look at the transfer fee. He walks for 0 at the end of next season having pocketed another 10m and a 6m bonus.
Take the fee (9m) combined with wages (10m/year) and bonus payment avoidance (6m). If we get someone in on half his salary (5m/year), then it's akin to having received a fee of 20m (25-5)
We didn't pay much more than that for him?
As you can see I'm a glass is half full person
Hm. I like you!
Sorry everyone.... False alarm... Just checked... Only on loan at Juve...THANK GOD!!The_Mo said:Isnt bendtner still Arsenal's?GeorgeHeslop'sTackle. said:Gutted!! Still the best striker at the club, by a country mile, imo.
Appauling piece of business if true.
Particularly as we, now, look like missing out on cavani
Wouldnt have got anywhere near the title in 2012 if it hadn't been for his contributions against Chelsea, Norwich, Wolves & Newcastle, toward the back end of that season.
What next?. Bentner in part exchange!!

Blue math lady
Is that because I can successfully add up and show my workings in getting to the answer?
Whatever the reason, I'm flattered...but I'm also married and people on here know me and know my wife, so the flirting will just have to stop!?!?!??
PM me later though ;-)

No probs mate,according to half of bluemoon Aguero,Dzeko and Guidetti will steer us to unprecedented glory next season.

Like who? Seems the walls are closing in if the 10,000 rumours per hour on Twitter are anything to go by.
