In reality we didnt upset either, it's just posturing. They've all been in football long enough to know how it works and if Arsenal offer an acceptable bid they will accept and if not they won't. These facts won't change no matter no long Pardew and Roders cry into their pillows at the unfairness of it all.

If you had spent the extra million Rogers might have let him go, upset people and they'll dig their heels in and refuse to even negotiate.

As it stands Arsenal have moved up a position in the league. I bet Wenger rules out 1 of his signings now. Mental strength.

Would he have cost arsenal 200k per week, city paid premium wages because they weren't a fashionable club then
