Wenger must pay £12m to take Samba to Arsenal

12 mili for samba, good price ,but Wenger will not pay a double digit figure for him!
Arsenal going backward

backwards we go.
In Arsene we Rust

What’s Arshavin doing to diouf there? Looks suspect

The delay with this transfer is samba is on holidqy returning this week. i hope we do not quibble over the extra 4m. we could raise that by selling squillaci. personally i would sell.him eboue traore and clichy. that should give us enough to buy cahill. then we need around 20m to buy samab enrique and barton. that would be all my defensive problems sorted.

sagna cahill samba vermaelen
(koscielney djourou bartley enrique) would be my back up along with jenkinson and gibbs.

defensive mid song or barton with coquelin and frimpong going on loan. if song and barton were both unavailable or we needed more height in there kos verm bartley djourou and diaby could all play there.

if barca are planning on selling david villa to fund a move for cesc then why dont they just offer him in a swap deal, makes sense to me as we need another striker, i think he would be a great signing and would make nasri stay and also attract bigger players to the club

@John Muhindo….so let me get this straight the add on clause was added cause you are suggesting Wenger has dragged it out 2 weeks?

The extra 2 million is worth it if Wenger believes it can go a long way to fixing the problems that cost us the title last season

i feel barca should offer villa for fabregas

shut up dick

I think the Board would rather have sale of Cesc money in the Bank to fortify our position at top of European Financial Fair Play table. Rumours are that Uefa will be awarding a trophy for the club finishing at top next season.

hahah:P

Why do Arsene likes dilly dyling on issues that are very important. We were very very vulnerable last season defensively,but yet all we hear is rumors of some notable players coming to Arsenal. Wenger wake up and do what it is right. barely tweo weeks for all the players return from holidays and yet no news of player signings? what a shame!!!

What so many of you seem to forget is that this is all newspaper speculation.

Much of the speculation is based on player’s agents leaking false stories, to the tabloid hacks, in order to drum up some interest in their client and so bump up their own commission should a sale eventually go through.

In the words of Michael Winner “Calm down dear, it’s only a mouse”.

correction 12 not 123!..that would be ott!

[quote name=peter file]if barca are planning on selling david villa to fund a move for cesc[/quote]Because this is probably a work of fiction dreamed up by a lazy reporter.

And only 2 weeks BEFORE the international tranfer window opens (admittedly AW could have done some UK deals by now).

Gervinho’s deal will be finalised this week according to the mail and Samba will follow soon. I guess there’s nothing Rovers can do to stop the defender to join us if he wants to. The stumbling block is only the fee at the moment. Let’s see whether our club is willing to pay 12million pound for Samba.

Do you know what you’re saying ? Thats just football, of course a deal for a youngster takes alot less time than a first team pro. Fergie is your example ? we are run alot different to Man Utd and fergie has signed so many players for expensive fees that are terrible. I can only think of 1 or 2 players that arsene has signed for big fees that didnt work out and they were still good footballers (reyes comes to mind). Stop being an impatient bafoon and let wenger do his job.

Agree 100% mate, none of these people saying “oh it takes ages, wenger pull your finger out” actually have a clue of what is going on behind the scenes and who the actual targets are. They think because some journo website/paper has been reporting that we are after these guys for the past 6 months that wenger must be sitting on his arse with his pennies clutched close to him being a stubborn bastard. Who knows if we are even in for half these guys. To be honest i havent been impressed with any of the names the media have mentioned. Fans are delusional of they think that Barton or Baines is going to take us to the next level.

wenger is rumoured 2 only have 20mill 2
spend on new players and any money got from sale of plyers and left over money goes into the club soif this is true
i think the board have a lot of questions
