£25mill deal.

£250,000 a week apparently.

arf.

let's think of a number...ooo erm...25? that'll do, just stick 4 noughts on the end for the wage.

exactly!

well 25mill is a popular sum.

But the £250,000 a week isn't a suprise.

It'll be £500,000 this time next week.

it's getting to the point where they'll just look up the EuroMillions jackpot for that week and use it as the weekly wage.

So are we officially your feeder club or what? What's confusing for us is that Podolski has already been signed. Makes us wonder if he is meant to replace RvP or compliment him. Wenger always knows when he has run a player to the ground. RvP has had a one of a kind injury free season. If Wenger thinks he can get that out of him again, he will keep him. But if he knows that won't happen again I expect RvP to be sold. For me it is more of Wenger's decision rather than RvP the way people think. In any case, RvP still has one more year and arsenal don't have to sell.

Just keep sending us your cast offs, and we'll keep winning trophies with them ;).

quality player but he wouldn't be my prime target because of his injuries if i'm honest. it'd be just our luck we'd sign him and he'd get injured again.

i kind of hoped he'd stay at arsenal to help them re-overtake the rags.

Was Nasri leaving Wengers decision then? I think not. Clichy was bargain of the summer too.

I think you'll find they do. Just as they didnt have to sell any of their other stars in the last couple of years eh? They'll sell, because they cant afford not to!

Killer blow for Arsenal if he leaves, Podolski cannot score like that so they need to splash out big on a real goal scorer. Dare I suggest Huntelaar, some might say he's too slow but he's a predator in the box and Arsenal has a lot of good playmakers to feed him chances.

Juve? That source would have to have an awful lot of correct calls for me to even begin to believe that rumor

If RVP decides he won't sign a new contract then of course you have to sell him, letting him walk away on a free in 12 months would be utter madness.

Arsenal made a complete mess of the Nasri sale last Summer by playing silly games, you shouldn't make the same mistake twice.

Just tell any interested parties here's the fee, pay it, and then get on with strengthening your squad in a sensible measured way, instead of a mad rush to get bodies in before the window shuts.

i think that the timing of the Podolski signing is revealing.

AW go him signed before the season's end because there was no guarantee of Arsenal finishing with a UCL position for next term. had he waited, he could have had no Podolski and no RVP.

as it stands, RVP sees the Tevezes and Rooneys of this league making so much more than him (and adding winners medals to their collections)... it has to make a man approaching 30 think that this may be his last chance to secure both.

I really hope Van Persie doen't come. Not that he isn't talented but has no sell on value. People say Nasri has been a 'flop' but he is still young so has time on his side. Van Persie has 2 maybe 3 years at this level and lets not forget his injury problems. As Mancini said, he likes to buy young players. Bar Vieria, Yaya Toure is the oldest player he has Purchased ( Excluding Pizarro and Hargreaves) so it show Mancini vision. Its great news if he move to Juventus.

 

[southern muppet]

I know Juve have just won a Scudetto, and in very impressive fashion, but they are further away from any European success than Arsenal are.

respectfully disagree.

i'm not advocating abandoning the longer view of squad building, nor do i think that Mancini et al would ever do so...

however, a healthy RVP over the next 3 seasons will aid us immensely in all competitions. that is to say: gives us a better chance of winning the 12 titles we will be competing for in that timeframe.

must keep that in focus.

Hmmmm, on a side note Wenger has always liked Dzeko....what are the odds?

I know people are moving Dzeko to Germany or Italy, but I wouldnt be surprised if he stays in EPL (to me Arsenal, Tottenham, even Chelsea are all viable buyers given the status of their strike-force).

Van Persie is fantastic player, no doubt. But there are better strikers who are younger. I honestly believe if Van Persie signed that it would be like Theirry Henry signing for Barcelona. I would like a player like Higuain, Lewandowski etc. A player like Falcao would be ideal but Van Persie is approaching 29 and when he hit the magic age of 30, he value will drop.

Dzeko - Juventus
Tevez - AC Milan
RVP - Real Madrid
Hazard - OVO
Cavani and Lavezzi - OVO

Would you bugger off and support Arsenal if Edin went there?

Dzeko must not be sold to a top Premier League team. At Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea he'd be lethal.

If Van Persie goes to City that will be another league title and Arsenal out the frame for the title race and possibly race for fourth.
