It's just a hunch. Most likely scenario remains what you guys mentioned.

I'm looking at the board, the way Kroenke runs his clubs and I'm assuming Gazidis is our de facto 'owner' from this summer onwards.

Much like Daniel Levy at Spurs, you mean?

Yes Ricky, that's a perfect example that I hadn't considered.

Seems like a bullshit article, and I can´t for the life of me see that AVB would want to purchase a player like Theo.

The reporter has thrown himself a dummy.

Let them buy him for £5m. No effing loan. Then they will realize he is useless. 🙂

May as well keep him here until the summer?
How would loaning him out benefit us?

A loan with an option to buy could work - if Arshavin was likely to be any good for them. Since he isn´t, I can´t see a single good thing about a loan other than him not being an option for the manager.

On second thought - loan him out.

Don't loan him. It'd just muddy the waters.

Stories of gotze and podolski in the news again today. Wont bother to link as it's been covered.

Just guess work anyway.

A bit more on Sturridge over the last couple of days too. Almost certainly wont happen.

Have to say, he's a talented boy, but I cant stand him. Thought he was a completely selfish, moronic twat in midweek for Chelsea. Would still take him for the right price, but I have my reservations.

I can't really stand him either, but if he came here and started banging goals in I'd love his arrogance.

I reckon Wenger would mould him nicely, on and off the pitch. Can't see it happening either. Although the contract situation does give Sturridge some say on where he goes.
