Llorente to Arsenal is now trending worldwide on Twitter. Kiss of death, he isn't coming.

Definately, can't see Bilbao settling for under £25m. I'm not sure how legitamate the rumours are but it won't be long before we find out I guess.
If it's true then hopefully the board don't just think that's it and close up for the window. We need M'Vila or a player like him to shore up the midfield. Ideally we would get De Jong + cash for van Persie but I doubt you'd let him go.
The consensus at one point was that NDJ would probably be on his way at the end of the season but now it seems to be that he's turned it 'round and won't leave. No actual new deal signed as yet though and we're being linked with M'Vila ourselves, so who knows really.

Much rather have Llorente tbh...
From what I've seen Llorente is effectively the same player as Dzeko.
I think that Llorente is the player I thought Dzeko would have been. No real downer on Edin, but a £27 mill player shouldn't rely on confidence quite as much....
I've hated RVP since the Adebayor incident but two things make me think that if he comes I could live with it...
1. I hated Platt (I hate a lot of people 'cos a lot of people have disrespected City over the years). But I can live with him now. I don't particularly like him but I definitely don't dislike him anymore. I respect that Mancini likes him and he's helped make us better (as much as anyone else in the coaching staff has). So maybe RVP would do/say enough or keep his mouth shut enough that I'd accept him too.
and
2. Once I get over the personal thing it's hard not to think that he'd bring a lot to our team. It's not just the goals - it's the interplay with the rest of the team. I think he'd fit right in and could really push us on.
I'm not hoping this comes off but I'm not dreading it anymore.
(BTW I'd have accepted Rooney when he was rumoured to come too despite hating him for years, but then he stayed and I was delighted. I raised my hate levels even further and now my eyes water even typing his name. So if RVP stays at Arsenal I plan on ratcheting up my hate there too :-) Aaaargh!!! Internet rage!!!!)
I presume no one read this so I don't feel guilty for just rabbiting on.

I don´t want him here neither for several reasons but to compare him to Rooney is harsh to say the least.C_T_I_D said:I really don't want Van Persie. He comes accross as a total **** of a personality. I'd put him in the same category as Rooney as players I couldn't take to in a City shirt. Just something about him that I don't like.
My thoughts exactly Rooneys a scum bag and no way would he only get 1 yellow if he was playing for us.nehe11 said:I don´t want him here neither for several reasons but to compare him to Rooney is harsh to say the least.C_T_I_D said:I really don't want Van Persie.

Who cares about his personality? You're not planning on introducing him to the family, are you?C_T_I_D said:I really don't want Van Persie. He comes accross as a total **** of a personality.

Did you do this in desperation?
