Arsenal always play hardball. Wenger would let a player see out his contract. City for example have no patience as we've all seen and ultimately throw money. 25odd for Nasri? you can add at least a quarter on for Robin.

l think the days of club spending money like confetti are over and you will be lucky if you get £25 million.

It would be hard to coax too much more money out of City. One year left on his contract? Then again the same could be said of Nasri but Nasri was younger. Maybe £30 million for RVP if you add the Man City Premium.

So depressing. I don't want to wait until the end of the Euros. One way or another I want it decided. I like him a lot as a player and as Arsenal's captain but I don't think it would be a diaster if he left as long as we used the money to replace him. It's worth remembering he has that injury risk all the time and is getting near 30. If we got a big fee then we could get two very good strikers which may well be a better option. Three forwards in essence. Depth and quality. It's better to have a better all round team than one superstar and Park.

doubt it. City hardly need a overhaul and plus theres outgoing to add to their current budget. they need to cut the wage bill if i recall correctly thats all and even then the reports stat 200+k. silly reports if you ask me, way too many flaws.

City aren't concerned about spending money. If they were concerned they wouldn't be chasing Eden Hazard when they have Nasri and Silva in their team. I mean degest that for a moment, they spent over £50 million last year on those two and now they want to Hazard to complement them. Amazing.

they need to cut their wage bill. there will be outgoing players from City which will sort out the books then they will push on.

Dennis Bergkamp has said on twitter (real account) that he is confident Van Persie will stay...whether that means anything...

Scrap that...its probably a fake account :)

Fifteen players have left Bolton Wanderers following their relegation from the Premier League, while Kevin Davies has signed a new one-year deal.
The striker and defender Sam Ricketts, who has agreed a two-year deal, are the only players to commit to the club.
Negotiations with Jussi Jaaskelainen and Zat Knight are ongoing.
Ricardo Gardner, Gretar Steinsson and Ivan Klasnic are among those released, while Nigel Reo-Coker has activated a release clause in his contract.
Paul Robinson, Sean Davis, Robbie Blake, Mark Connolly, Tope Obadeyi, Rhys Bennett, Dino Fazlic and Tom Eckersley have also not been offered new deals.

Looks like he's been approached

Remy is close, I mean really close to joining to Tottenham

---------- Post added at 18:49 ---------- Previous post was at 18:48 ----------

and Matias Suarez has failed gaining a work permit so that looks to be off


Remy deal may fall through due to his heart defect

And where did you hear about Suarez as from what I read it's bs no application has been made for a work permit, apparently

No real news from up here regarding transfers.

Ba and Tiote are the top possibilities to leave. Two good players and Tiote has years left on his contract so I wouldn't expect him to leave for under £20 million.

Ba has a clause which has been confirmed by Pardew himself. Having not scored in a while a few of the big clubs having a look may have just had a change of mind. He'll either sign an improved contract with no clause or be on his way. Newcastle United will be enforcing a policy in which no stupid clauses will be present in contracts from now on.

I'm content with Ba leaving though and Tiote if the money is good and we scout another brilliant replacement like we did by replacing Nolan with Cabaye.


Linked with.

Jan Vertonghen (Pardew travelled to watch him) Unlikely now considering everyone is after him.

Gylfi Sigurdsson - Been linked with this guy for a while now.

Luuk De Jong - Been linked with this guy most of the season.

Pretty much confirmed for us are a Midfielder supposedly a friend of Cabaye's

A Centre-Back will be signed in the window and possibly a striker depending on if Ba goes or Best is moved on.

l really do hope he as not been approached as in my mind it would be a retrograde step.:(

Ba has been playing wide left since cisse's arrival so can't be blamed for the goals drying up imo and again imo there's no way tiote is going to bring in twenty million even at todays vastly overinflated prices he's worth no more than twelve.

I was hoping they would have sorted the contract out before Euros too.

I have almost reconciled myself to him leaving now as then I won't be disappointed if he does leave in the summer.
