The stories today about Mancini/Marwood are leaks from Arsenal to their own press pool.
It shows you how desperate they are to ramp the price up to the maximum.
The articles are by John Cross (Mirror) and Charlie Wyett (Sun), coincidentally, they just happen to be London based writers on Arsenal's current tour of the Far East.
It is becoming increasingly obviously United and Juventus' leaked interest is currently at such a level, Arsenal are really having to stir it up to the max.
We certainly need to be more proactive on arriving at a decision as to whether it is Dzeko or Tevez which makes way, but the reason for it can certainly be explained.
Neither player is prepared to publicly state they want away, added to a pay-off, the low-balling of Arsenal on Van Persie will hopefully balance the scale.
And what the fuck is Adebayor doing in New York. Just seen out there last few days?
Guy is taking the absolute piss but we should have good news in and out the next seven days.
When others tell you all is lost, I say ignore the bullshit and let's be sensible about this ;)
