The big problem with Arsenal, they thought they were the big boys of NL, but it has gone downhill, and they haven't sign anyone in the window, probabely, as new players want Champions League football, and if they lose anymore games, they will end up with nothing - hooray.

How can a Tottenham fan talk rubbish about Asenal? Tottenham were supposed to break the top 4 for the past 3 - 4 seasons and now they're in a relegation battle. Tottenham have spent MILLIONS trying to get past Arsenal yet they still can't, and Arsenal spend hardly anything every season and still manage to stay up near the top.

Tottenham = biggest failure in the premiership along with Newcastle.

Anyway, looks like you guys are trying to tie up deals for Quresma and Keane with Bentley and Jenas going to Inter.......but

16:35 - Ha! Brilliant! Chelsea are reportedly attempting to hijack Tottenham's bid for Inter winger Ricardo Quaresma! They only have 25 minutes to do so, however.

Hi SB, at least we have players, that want to play for Tottenham, did you hear the news, that the Archavin deal is now off, and this was reported at 5-35pm.

sherer · 02-02-2009, 17:41

Keane back at Spurs and Arshavin deal is off is the latest.

Arthurgray50@blu · 02-02-2009, 19:05

The Archavin deal is back ON, The deal involving Archavin, depends on the player giving money to Zenit, BUT Zenit are saying the deal is OFF, BUT Arsenal are saying IF the player makes that payment, then the deral is on - watch Sky SNs.

I am not a gooner, but l am giving you the news.

The biggest laugh tonight is the FA, they will NOT be taking action against Bosingwa, for that nasty challenge on the Liverpool player at the corner flag, when he used his boot to kick him over, and that was ' studs' showing challenge ten times worse, than the Lampard challenge, what a bunch of ******s the FA are.

According to Sky SN, the deal will go ahead for Archavin tonight, and this comes from Wenger himself.

the thing is even if they get him he's only really done it at international level and that is widely different from league and even more different than the fast paced prem

I'd like to know how some snow stopped faxes, emails and bank payments.

But then again, its Arsenal. They always get with it.

Come off it, Contracts need to be signed, medicals need to be done, and people like to meet. Even the people at the end of those e-mails, faxes and payments would need to get to work. Regardless, this isn't a 'Arsenal' thing, the same rules apply to all the clubs.

punky · 02-02-2009, 20:00

Not Arsenal it doesn't.

You lot have had a month to do this deal and you're still haggling over fees and payments? Your club is a mickey-take. There's no way snow held this deal up.

Some activity is still going on, Spurs just sold someone to some other loser club. Besides, This always seems to be the case, transfer deadline day always has a last bust of activity.

sherer · 02-02-2009, 20:27

I thought the rules were that the window shut at 1800. Some deals are announced after then as the clubs might not get a press release out straight away but there shouldn't be any activity going on afterwards, that's the whole point of having a window surely

They are extending it if the clubs can prove the conditions had an impact on the sale. But yeah, technically there are ways the deal happens after the window but was signed before.

If your referring to Spurs, Pekhart.

Arthurgray50@blu · 02-02-2009, 21:20

This has been a very good point that has been raised, The player was in the country this morning, so therefore, the good point is, why has it taken so long for the player to sign, it is true, there is faxes, emails, and the phone, and these are NOT effected by the weather, UNLESS, they have VM.

But we had this problem, with Archavin before, when Tottenham tried to buy him, and it was the same reason, Zenit, wanted the money complete, and that was 20.million and Spurs said no.

But football is a funny game, don't forget, the FA are not going to charge Boswinga for showing studs in the back of that Liverpool player, and that was a much clearer red card, than Lampards.

Except we didn't sell him, we loaned him. Which sums up your knowlege of football really.

In the space of a few hours, Spurs have pulled a player from across the other side of the country via public transport, and sealed the deal long before the window closed. However Arsenal needs extra time due to inclement weather to sign a player who has been in north London all day long?

BS. Arsenal are abusing the system, playing for time to cover their poor negotiating.
