i just hope we don't have Dick Law on the case.

Can see Wenger pushing Theo upfront if this goes through

Has dick law closed a deal for us yet?

Joel Campbell, his only major contribution.

Almost failed though mind you, Saprissa wanted 1.2m and we only offered 1m.

Cazorla, Giroud, Monreal, Podolski were done without a fuss. I am sure Law, being our transfer negotiator, was involved in all of them.

Get it done before Spurs so he can rip 'em up on début and become an instant hero.

The Bale business is holding everything up now.
Would they ever just get it done and we can at least see what flows after that move.

I read the other day that he had a big part to play in signing Gilberto Silva. Didn't realise he was at the club that long but then again it might have been untrue.

Anyway re Di Maria i think he might be around the best player we could realistically get this summer. I think he'd suit us perfectly too. We need a dribbler in the attack but he can also spot a pass. Hope it happens.

Read that he was a contact of David Dein. Wenger appointed Law on his recommendation.

Rumours circulating that Madrid consider our offer "acceptable" and are ready to let us discuss personal terms with Di Maria.
Nothing reported anywhere "reliable" yet.

fair price for a good player.

come on dick, channel your inner ricky roma and get him in for NLD

If I don't buy him those brainwashed morons will crucify me.

Ricky Roma eh? One of the greatest closers of all time indeed.

SSN reported that United are also interested in Di Maria?
Get lost Moyesy you ginger freak.

Starts for Real tonight.

Another one bites the dust.

Next.

He won't start when Bale is there

He won't get a look in with Bale there surely?
Starting tonight doesn't signify anything definite does it?

We have to hope real are selling to get cash in to cover the bale fee

That Madrid won't take monopoly money?

Nah. The complete opposite is the worry

Ha 🙂, I like the way his face is half buried in the sleeping bag.

😆

I've really convinced myself that this signing would be perfect for us. I'm only setting myself up for disappointment.

you still get excited for arsenal transfer rumours?

I think we're gonna get him.

At the last minute the price will go to £39 mil for £28 mil, how we can't expect that from them is obscene after the dealings with had with them over Higuain.

At the moment the thing that's pushing back concluding anything is the Bale deal.

The spuds think Levy is deliberately prolonging final negotiations to make it harder for Madrid to do further business, especially with English clubs, that might be a bit tinfoil hat though.

After that's locked in Madrid should be relatively eager to recoup sooner rather than later on at least one or two players.

Spurs have the perfect opportunity to really screw us this summer.

Our ability to nail Di Maria or Oezil is dependent on Madrid getting Bale in. if Spurs are smart, they will delay the Bale sale as late as possible - e.g., Friday, putting us in a frantic scramble to get whatever players Madrid then chooses to offload. Would be kind of funny if it actually happened.

Our ability to get Di maria in depends entirely on Madrid. If they want to keep him then we will be held to ransom, what do you think will happen there? No player is up for forcing a move to us unless they are at a dog shite club like newcastle or some such.

I don't think we've a hope here. I was excited at first but the lack of positive news from Spain is making me feel this is never going to happen.

That's why Arsene was talking up the whole "desire arsenal" shite in the press. Gives the mole an out when we fail to sign top target and instead get soopa-top-top-top quality like cabaye and flamini.

Galatasaray have agreed a fee with Real, apparently. No bid from us.

WHAT THE FUCK?

He still has to be convinced to join them which would be the bigger battle IMO. But we need to stop dragging our feet and bid already. I would be perfectly fine with up to 80m for both Ozil and Di Maria. Both are younger and would bring such creativity to a side that lacks it at times.

I meant that we haven't even bid. What the fuck are Cock Law and Co. doing? Tying up the Flamini deal, no doubt. Useless tossers.

Deal fixer Dick Law's probably just finished hanging up his coat in his London office. By now he would have said his hellos to staff and made a cup of coffee. Next up he'll unpop his briefcase

Gala?

Dicky and Ivan are probably still on the yacht trying to find out how to get to spain let alone bid for one of Madrid's players.
