The Shopping List—aka We've got flipping great wadges of cash

That´s what I mean. We had plenty of time to actually sign him before Chelsea showed any interest. We stalled because we still had Nasri and Cesc.

Eh?

We agreed the deal and then Valencia changed it. Not sure how that translates to having 'plenty of time'; that wasn't the issue.

We were rumored to having reached an agreement with Valencia well before Chelsea showed any interest. For some reason we didn´t go through and sign the player right away - when we could have.

No one can be poorer than Almunia.

Right, but that was not the point.

Captain is saying the reason was that Valencia changed their mind and backed out of the agreement.

Regardless, the terms they reached with Chelsea were still within our means. For the record, I'm pleased we didn't get mata

All this talk of gotze is pissing me off. There's more chance of dons fleshlight talking and crying out for help than us signing him

Drogba...

lorddulaarsenal

Drogba would be immense ahead of rvp - we'd also finally have someone willing to get on the end of theo, gibbs, and gervinho's crosses

Pepe LeFrits

He'd be a better option than Chamakh. Wouldn't want van Persie playing off him though.

Wenger to be handed "a £50m warchest to fund January spree"

If we're in even bigger trouble by Christmas he'll have to, despite what Gazidis has being saying

ah great. was gettin worried for a bit there

🙂 Having trouble believing that story then?
It's probably pure rubbish.
Still though, I'm hoping for a Wenger v Kroenke /Gazidis fallout and showdown.

lorddulaarsenal

There'll be a round of "nah it's your fault" soon enough if any of them have an ounce of pride

Any articles involving the phrases "warchest" and "thrash out a deal" are to be treated with disdain, I've come to realise

Captain

They have lifted that figure straight from the financial reports and created a story from it. Ridiculous journalism.

Rex

No surprises then.

Biggus

Theres nothing fictitious about our predicament now.
