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

Ricky1985

According to Gunner Blog we've turned down a £10M from a Turkish club for Abou Diaby. Absolutely disgusting, if that's true.

Klaus

I doubt he would have gone there anyway, Ricks.

Talking about Turkish club, just remember Reyes almost completed a move to Galatasaray. Everything was set and he backed out at the last minute 😆 That homesick boy really can't leave Spain a single min. Shame otherwise he is a great great talent

Timbob

A) The 'bid' probably never happened anyway.
B) We all knew Diaby wasn't getting sold this summer.
C) If we did put him up for sale we'd get £10m easy, probably more.

Was the same with Forlan, apparently. Atletico accepted bids for him, Reyes and Tomas Ujfalusi from Galatasaray, but Ujfalusi was the only one who thought it was a good idea to move to Turkey.

Don't blame them.

Clrnc

Turkey I could understand, but whats so good bout Spain? London's a far better place to live in

lorddulaarsenal

Captain

You couldn't pay me to live in Spain.

I'd live in San Sebastian for a couple of months out of the year. The Basque country is beautiful.
It's not really Spain either 🙂

lorddulaarsenal

Smells like spain, looks like Spain

Biggus

Don't get me started on Spain/Spanish players.

y va marquer

No it doesn't 🙂, it's lush and green and mountainous. Looks more like parts of South America.
Plus they don't speak Spanish as a first language.

lorddulaarsenal

Bilbao play in la liga. Spanish enough for me.

It really isn´t.

I'm sure my dislike for Diaby, the player not the man, affects my judgement, but I'd sell him in a heartbeat for that amount. The thought of never having to watch him stumble around like a drunk giraffe in our shirt again is a pleasant one, I'd sell him for any reasonable offer.

Captain

£10m is a good price for a fringe player.

You're not going to like this qs, as for Biggus....

The Basque genetic markers reveal a very strong relationship with the Celts in Ireland and Wales

Basque though, not Catalan

Back on topic.
Of the players Tim asked us to pick from we're realistically only going to get Cahill or Samba?
At a stretch Alvarez or Mata if either Cesc or Nasri leave?
