that russian team have crazy cash

No doubt oil funded ^

Jose Enrique to Liverpool is done according to Tony Evans on twitter.

(Scouser who works for The Times)

Good signing for Forest which Nigel Dougherty alluded to on Tuesday night, Matt Derbyshire has joined The Reds on a 3 year deal with more signings to come

Arsenal have named Fabregas and Nasri in their Champions League Squad, so Barca look set to wrap up Cesc for 35million with add ons to 40... and Nasri to Man City in the region of 22-24million

Yeah looks like Cesc is on his way back home!

I don't blaime him really they can offer him the wage but he will still be second team football and thats the difference between money and the love of football!

Arsenal need to do some business soon i think, there gunna lose fabregas and nasri by looks of it,

whats everyones opinion on the top 6 this season? mine is:

1. Man United
2. Chelsea
3. Man City
4. Arsenal
5. Liverpool
6. Spurs

I reckon liverpool could run arsenal close for 4th tho

City to finish 5th Liverpool might get 4th and i'm going give everton 6th this season

Joey Barton should be at the Brit by Sunday intime for Chelsea! Pulis is hoping that it is a done deal now and he is on his way!

Also Palacious is taking a step closer towards singing but Crouch is not doing much at the minute but they reckon if they give him a big signing on fee then he's ours!

No more talks of Parker rumour has it 10mil we give him 2mil West Ham give him 2mil of the Trasfer Fee and we give him then 40k a week that would possibly presuade him to make a trip up north!

Also whod of though it Stoke trying to signing Woodgate/Crouch/Palacious/Parker it's a very exciting time to be a potter Coates is determind not to break the 40k wage cap!

Haven't looked forward to a season like this in a long time, United are looking good, Villa-Boas with Chelsea look good too, confident of Liverpool to have a succesful season for a change! Man City looking like they have potential to be a threat.

Arsenal... doomed.

Enrique having a medical at Melwood, agreed a £6M fee.

Bargain.

As for Everton top 6 pah! Won't finish top 10, the poor sods.

"I have rejected good offers from other leagues to stay in England. The style of football is perfect for me and I want to improve myself as a player.

"I always wanted to go to Liverpool and they were always my first choice. One of my ambitions is to play regularly for Spain and it's more realistic for me to fight for a place with Liverpool rather than Newcastle."

Good stuff.

With Enrique and Downing, our left hand side is going to be RAPID.

From a very reliable source, nasri and fabregas will finalise their moves to man city and barcalona in the next few days.


Funny how Nasri denies leaving Arsenal for more money and says money wont sway his decision... Which means he signs for the F.A. Cup winners instead of the best team in England who have made the champions league final 3 of the last 4 years and who hav strenghtened their team and will be even stronger.

Yeah not money hungry at all!

^ Careful, Nicko. When I accused players of going to Citeh for the money I got that m_wood fella on my back

Fabregas off to Barca for a medical, fee agreed according to Guillem Ballague on Sly Sports News

Liverpool Echo say David Ngog and Daniel Ayala are close to leaving Liverpool, and that Liverpool have no interest in Scott Dann.

If we want a centre back then Gary Cahill would be very nice

I personally think its a good thing nasri and fabregas go i think there midfield is strong enough without them and this money will just enforce the defence which is needed which is their onlyweak link IMO

Put Wages to One side....

Would you rather play for Arsenal or Man City. Arsenal who have not won anything for 7 years, losing players, dont buy any BIG players... or go to Man City, a Club who are buying huge players and who clearly have INTENT to win Trophys by spending good money on world class stars

You would go to Man City

Just like the Man Utd Liverpool debate. If Man Utd wanted Henderson, Downing, they would GO to Man Utd because Man Utd are the bigger club and are in Champions League. Liverpool are not.

Question is... what will Arsenal do with the 50Plus Million.......

raid southamptons under 15's ? :D

We all know what Wenger is like we will be lucky to see him break 10-15 mil on 1 player, I think he will go for Dann or Cahill and then maybe some French midfielder we haven't heard of.

i think he will get both dann and cahill but then again he may shock us and see this as a time to buy mata who has been heavily linked all transfer window :D

Yeah thats the bemusing thing for Arsenal fans. They are screaming for a new Defender, New Keeper, New Midfielder new everything lol and then they see them spend 12 Million ona 17 year old who will be good in a couple years.

Arsenal should IMO get Joey Barton, a fighter on the pitch, someone with steel, and its a FREE for god sake Arsene lol

problem with barton is he is a fighter off the pitch too .. in my opinion maybe they should try and get someone from a lower team still think scott parker has to be a great buy west ham cant old out for a great deal of money being in the championship
