The only issue I have is that he'll probably look to leave after a season or two. We would not be a permanent solution for him.

He's 26. If ever, this is his big move.

Today we practise diving and curling up into the foetal position as if you're a black man being beaten by the LAPD then making the cardy cardy gesture.

Stories keep coming, must be something in them.

We must be talking to his agents and he must want to come here. Same seems to be true of Higuain of course.

If this really happened it appears I was understating it when I called Wenger a turkey and a clown.

😆 This is the best transfer season ever!
Surely everyone will see now that Wenger is clearly insane and they'll have to remove him.

Biggus you're the only one using this bid as proof of Wenger's insanity.
I don't think anybody else on here believes that.
The non Arsenal types that I've spoken to have raised an eyebrow but reckon it's a show of serious intent from us for once.

If fangface scores us 30 PL goals this season and keeps his reprehensible, vile mouth shut I can handle this - tainted though it may be.
I still can't get my head around us bidding £35m.
Hope this doesn't mean that we're not going for Gustavo.
I want a player to like to compensate for the one I loathe this window.

Don't trust Daily Mail. They are the worst of the rags and I always get the feeling that they regularly make stuff up. (unlike many others who do reporting based on flimsy and unreliable 'sources') They seem to think that we have made two bids of 30 and 35 million before, but, Liverpool have always stated that there has been one bid.

Just sign him and get it over with.

Yes he's a cunt, yes he is. Good for nothing racist scum cheating piece of shit.

But minimum he will score 25 goals.

His name on our team sheet will minimum give us 10 extra points.

All of the above is worth more than his asking price.

signing no striker is a lot bigger crime.

I'm ready to sell out as his arrival will be massive and send shock waves in the league.

Arsenal will be talked about and hated again and that's what we've wanted for years.

We had one of those- Wenger sold him to Man U for 23M remember, now I'm no financial genius like Wenger but even I could work out that it would have been a lot cheaper to double RvP's wages (that should have overcome any ambition worries) then to try to fork out 35M+ ratty's wages a year later......

But van Persie wanted to leave, we offered him improved terms and he rejected them.

not an issue. If we had doubled the wages, he would have stayed.
or maybe we should have doubled the wages when he was down injured and he would have accepted.
