We have shown so many times that we will not pay a penny above what we value a player at. If Lille don't back down, we won't sign him.

Sounds pretty negative about our chances to sign anyone like.

Bullshit imo. Look for other targets is pointless, we aren't going to find one who's better than Simpson for less than the price Lille want for Debuchy. He's very good, he wants to come and the price is reasonable. What's the problem. Van Der Weil was linked for 5 million the other day.

Time to move on, otherwise it will turn out like last summers striker chase, unless that is what they wanted all along.

Stupid offer if true, starting to feel like our striker chase last summer.

Some other guy on twitter said this earlier like, claims he broke that biggy was having a medical when that first happened.

What has he said like?

Should do the same to the Debuchy thread.

He any good?

think Arsenal are going to do just fine without RVP. Flying in for a medical this week.

You being serious? Why would Cabaye have left Lille in the first place if he didn't want to leave Debuchy?

Knew he would be the one Pardew was on about, who would sign this week.

Madrid sources saying it is to Arsenal.

AS, the spanish newspaper are saying Nuri Sahin will spend next season on loan at a "big" premier league club.

Why would we have to wait till after the weekend for? Surely we can put in an improved bid right now?

So we give up on a long term target 5 weeks before the deadline closes? He's clearly our first choice so I'd rather he came on August 31st than our 2nd or 3rd choices coming on July 31st just because we can't sit it out a bit longer. No we give up with enough time to get in another target, not leave ourselves with nothing when on deadline day we still haven't signed him.

Not to mention they already have about 10 poor strikers on their books.

Any decent striker who can play on the left would offer way more.

Hopefully goes there, save us wasting any money on him.

Time to move on, what happens if they don't get a replacement?

He will be the only CB we sign.

Will go the same way as Dalglish as well, although he probably won't get the season.

Getafe midfielder Abdelaziz Barrada says he would relish the chance to move to the Premier League, with Everton and Newcastle reportedly chasing his signature. Full story

It is probably the only worthy debate, are there isn't a chance Liverpool will let him go on loan.

A no from me, the money we would have to spend could be used so much better.
