There is absolutely zero chance he's just walked away from the (at least) £13.6m that remain on his contract. Your 2 year deal will pay him less than he was owed for the same period, lol. If he's leaving Chelsea, they've definitely had to pay him at least £10m to leave early. No doubt about it.

At this point I'm very afraid it's Rabiot or nothing. I feel it's too late unless we want Carvalho, which I'd rather have, but something must have changed Wengers mind on him. I'm also a little confounded we haven't been linked to any new CB's lately either.
Yo Meier! Thoughts on the OSU-FSU game tomorrow?
Haven't seen you in the CFB thread. You going to the game?

There's Drogba and Schurrle can play in front if need be.
It would be the 7 winners of the top domestic leagues + the winner of the previous year's Champions League. Obviously the 2nd place team from their domestic league would be input in place of them if there was overlap.

Also a 3rd striker will almost certainly be brought in by deadline.
That has been the line of thinking for years and it hasn't worked out.

Ok seriously, what the fuck is it with Milan and getting players under contract for free. Fucking hell, you lot are a charity case!
Sign Rabiot now, move Flamini and Arteta next summer and bring in someone else....like Pogba

That's really too bad what happened to Torres, he was really one of my favorite players to watch while he was still at pool. When he transfered to Chelsea I thought his game would sky rocket, unfortunately it was a complete did.
Hope he makes it in Italy.

who knows, 50% seems accurate after what Jose said today in the press conference. Although he did train today.

Pa-pa-pa-paradise indeed!It's funny, the older I get, the less I pay attention in the offseason. Back in the day I was all over Warchant but now even with a sub ($100 for a year, but you got $100 of credit to buy gear), I've gone like 5 times since we won the title. You'll see me guns blazing (no OSU pun intended) though soon. My wife and I went on a big vacation to NY this summer so I opted not to go to the game since the tickets were $120.
The Seminole Club here in town was chartering a bus and I hoped we could get on it once they put some tickets cheaper on Living Social but it sold out. Tried to drum up some interest from others to drive up but they passed -- it'd be too pricey to drive there and back and pay Jerry $60 to park on top of the game. Ahh well, what can ya do.As far as the outcome is concerned -- it seems like most of the media are suggesting we'll walk away with it. Having seen you guys play here at UT a few times, I'm less inclined to expect a blow out since I know the team and fans will be fighting hard, but I do think we'll win pretty handily. Maybe by 17 or so.
My issue with signing Rabiot is even if he is shit Wenger will stick with him for a couple years and would be hesitant to bring in another DM because it was "block Rabiot's development"
Already accepted this season will 4th place.
Better a free transfer than having the mafia on your ass I suppose.

Stay classy, Eibar.
:lol.
Thing is, the alternative is being eternally "in the market" without actually getting anyone.
I'm so tired of successive summers of being linked with the Benders of the world.
Yeah but I'd rather have Rabiot than Flamini in there because you know Arteta isn't going to stay fit.

That's what came out yesterday/today. I really doubt Milan is going to pay that much if we end up keeping the money from Balotelli's transfer, every single deal that was set up the past few days (Torres, Biabiany, Van Ginkel, Taarabt, Soldado and somebody else I'm currently forgetting) was going to be a loan or a transfer with a really low fee.
Italian media reported that he was leaving for free and I haven't seen any fee anywhere, not on Sky, not on Goal. The latter one is now reporting that's actually going to be a two years loan: Chelsea paid the past two months of his salary, Milan is going to pay the next 22 months (not his whole salary though, just 3.5m).

I would fucking love Bender. Still don't know why we never went back in for him.
True. Just have to wait and see I guess.
What lineup do you think we will see on Sunday?
----------Sanchez
Ozil Jack Rambo Ox
--------Flamini
Monreal Kos Per Debuchy
We probably did and they probably said no. Why would they sell? They are in CL.
Think we've only spent, like, £38m net so that can't be right.

Fixed. Please accept your lord and savior.
Nah, sounds right. LFC have hardly spent any net,same with Chelsea.
Im torn, more spent that i ever imagined personally, still dont feel confident.
Maybe we can pull it together, i just hope we see some improvements in the player of the next few months.

One more half decent CM, doesn't have to be a worldie, that's all I ask Wooders.
Dunno, man.
£20m Lovren, £16m Balotelli, £25m Lallana, £20m Moreno, £4m Lambert, £20m Markovic, £11 (?) Origi, Can £10m... all adds up considering they only got £75m (#thefullamount) at most depending on if you believe Liverpool and less if you believe Madrid for Suarez.
With this lineup:
----------Sanchez
Ozil Jack Rambo Ox
--------Flamini
Monreal Kos Per Debuchy
we need a good DM.

We've basically spent what we got for our league position last year, and the money we got for Suarez
Could do with rushing a couple of players out the door and getting a better keeper to compete with Mignolet, or another DM. Overstocked in CB imo.

Why the hell would you want Jack instead of Ozil in the CAM role
We need Carvahlo. I actually think this system can work, needs time however and especially the personnel at DM like you said.
Because Wenger rates Jack and we've moved away from 4231. We play 4141 now, well we have every single game this season.
That lineup isn't what I want.
It's what Wenger has played in the past 3 games.
he trained today. he'll play.
Alright, cheers guys. Will leave him in the team.

He's going senile. Retire him.
I want Arsenal to do good, this fucking shit won't work.
That's a bit of a high bar to set for man's first PL season, though?
