Agree with that evoh. Any young Barcelona or Real Madrid product comes with that "DNA" and the guarantee that they'll return one day. Not worth the hassle.

Not sold on this kid at all. Could potentially get the shit kicked out of him for a couple of seasons in this league...Giroud would still be our starting striker I think. It's one of those where you really can't predict how it would turn out with any kind of surety.

Personally I thought Morata was a big improvement on Benzema in the final. He and Marcelo, along with Di Maria, turned the game in Real's favour.

You have to know Benzema was injured throughout the game.

Ah, maybe he was. He shouldn't have started then. It looked like Real played with ten players.

Pretty much all top players here hope to get a big move one day. Ramsey is the same. We seriously need a couple of titles for our reputation.

Now you're just making shit up.

Really? First I've heard of this. Any quotes to back that up, or is that too qsy of me?

Was asked if he'd want to follow in footsteps of Bale one day and go to Spain, he said he's got 'unfinished business' with Arsenal but said he wouldn't mind going there one day. Nothing to do with wanting a "big move".

It's only qs of you if you ask me to search for quotes post them then completely ignore them.

Ramsey was asked about following Bale to Spain with either Real Madrid or Barcelona, and he replied: “I have unfinished business at Arsenal first but maybe one day, when the time is right, I’d fancy that, One of those two teams is quite mouthwatering.”

From arseblog, but it was in the major papers at the time.

they are setting themselves up for a big disappointment if they think ramsey isn't going to leave in the next 4 years.

he has ambition, wenger's arsenal does not. yes he benefited from wenger's faith ... err lack of ambition, but that won't be neither here nor there when real madrid summons.

Thanks for the prediction mystic meg.

As long as were heading in the right direction we have little to worry about and at the moment I feel we are.

a month later

Juventus' deal was terrible. Pay 22m or something and if he doesn't fulfill his potential they are stuck with him. If he does, RM can buy him back for 30. Don't want that deal.

If we buy Morata and Khedira, does this make Real Madrid our feeder club?

Caughtoffside goes to houseboat

They have exclusively revealed that we've agreed deals for Jovetic, Suarez, Higuain etc. in the last 12-24 months
