Right. Reckon Barton told them to fuck off. Good news in any case.

Seems a nice guy. Anyway, slap a bid of €5m on the table and tell them to fuck off. We need him now. Get him on your chopper AshleyBoy.

What a player he turned out to be. Hate how it all has turned out though, and I have to say, as oppose to some here, I wish him no luck what so ever (at Liverpool).

Any link for this? All over Twitter (links as well).

Does Ashley/Llambias give you a hint?

Ronnie Gill yesterday - Manchester United’s Federico Macheda is another name that has cropped up in recent days but the Italian – who is available for loan again after a stint with Sampdoria last term – is not tempting the Magpies at this stage with more senior options on Pardew’s list.

Odemwingie - Age: 30 Price demanded: £10m Wage demanded: £40k Don't think so.

Great potential? To do what exactly, to become an average Championship striker perhaps? To become a decent Premier League striker. So when has he shown this potential? Scoring goals for the reserves in plentyful (I know, but he has the ability), scoring 1 in 2 in average (12 games, 6 goals) for England under 19, and some very promising matches from the bench, especially the one against Liverpool. He has the ability. Now he needs to get his head together, grow up and gain some confidence. Confidence on the pitch that is.

Tend to agree with this.

Not really. They declined him.

Get him away. Along with Smith and Perch. AND, how about buying someone too?

We've already signed his replacement, so no worries.

Loven instead? There is other players out there than Bendtner like.

Wenger in Kicker today: no interest in Mertesacker. "We have four central defenders, no need for another one".

Very much doubt it.

Agree. People see him as Ba from West Ham, and not Ba from Hoffenheim. Watched quite a bit of him at Hoffenheim, because my boy Obasi plays there. Ba is a big talent. Just hope he stays fit. Actualy played wide in a fron three at Hoffenheim. Ba, Ibisevic and Obasi up front was awesome. Ba from West Ham wasn't that bad mind

Not for Arsenal, I think it's safe to say at this point. Starting to realize that. Was more having a go at the "surely-post" above mine. My post should, in a normal world, be the "surely" one.

Has to be a replacement ready, surely.

Think most agree with you on that, but of course there will be some hard feelings regarding the whole situation. Our best left back for ages goes for very little money to Liverpool. We end up with no one (yet).

White Shola with some fancy footwork right there.

Nothing to gain this time. Already Enrique's fault.

I wonder what those tearing their hair out at us letting Jose go before this game will make of that? Betters our chances. That's about it.

But we do need ''a man'' So stop being picky. What we've come to. Absolute disgrace. What are people going to do about it? My personal favourite is to moan now and then. It's just facts - It's what we've come to, and it's an absolute disgrace.
