Y'got some explaining to do
Liverpool have new owners who have demonstrated that they will pay big money to get the player they want i.e Henderson.They also have a manager in Dalglish who improved the team dramatically when he took over last December.Meus Renaissance said:
Arsenal meanwhile have a manager unwilling to spend money for players that would improve the squad.Wenger has ignored the glaring problems in his team for the last three years.And whilst developing a team that does play beautiful football,he has a mentally weak side that bottles it when the pressure is on.Also your best player wants to leave for Barcelona.

If I was I'm I'd pick Arsenal of those two but he will probably have a few other offers too. Plus both clubs would have to actually agree a fee first...not sure how much Arsenal would be willing to pay.Meus Renaissance said:
For Arsenal though perhaps it signals that somebody may be leaving this summer in that position. Obv rumours about Cesc and Nasri but I think I heard Arshavin might be sold too.

I think an Arsenal without Cesc will still finish above Liverpool.

I remember when we all used to call him Francesc. Then he started to be a 1st team player, and doing well, and so we began to adopt 'Cesc' as if he was one of ours. But in truth, he was always a Barca player loaned to us.

Dat mullet.
He should have Pat Sharp on the back of that shirt.
But yeah, I'm a Liverpool fan.

Yep and so far refusing to sign a new one. Not sure if it's purely down to wages (Arsenal have reportedly offered 100k so far) or something else. Think he can sign a deal with another club in January to move next summer.MPW said:

He'd be a good signing for anyone, good player and looks like he will excel in the next few years.Clegg said:
I think he's trying to make some more money aswell, but also I reckon he wants to wait and see what happens at Arsenal this summer. Whether Cesc leaves or not and what Arsenal do to replace him and just improve the team generally. He'll want to be winning things so if he feels as though the club isn't moving forwards towards potentially winning things ASAP he won't want to sign a long term deal at the club which would mean he couldn't leave unless somebody offered massive money for him.

There's speculation Liverpool have agreed a fee and that the Valencia friendly is part of the deal, but I think that's more in hope than anything at the moment.
If I was him I'd choose us over Arsenal, but I'm biased. Even trying to discount that though, I'd still choose us. Arsenal have gone longer than us without a trophy, and besides the league cup final they haven't done that much of note since the CL final in 2006.
Wenger seems unwilling to spend money to improve his squad (maybe Mata would be the start of a change to that), despite Arsenal being relatively healthy financially.
Liverpool have come through the H&G ownership and nearly going into administration, and are now on the up again. We have owners that are willing to back us with cash, and crucially, Dalglish and DC are willing to spend it to improve the squad, whereas Wenger seems content to stubbornly continue when it's been painfully clear signings are needed.

There was a report a couple of days back that a few PL clubs were interested. Can't see it myself. Why would Barca let him go. They are having to pay big money for Cesc now and they won't wanna make the same mistake again.Clegg said:
Even so, Arsenal would stand a decent chance of getting him in a deal for Cesc.
Would be awesome if we got him though.

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like Twitter has made transfer season speculation worse.
Except the Cesc deal has worked out hugely in Arsenal's favor. They bought Cesc for next to nothing, got 8 fantastic seasons out of him and now he is worth excess 35million. But it doesn't matter since Arsenal will never accept that deal if there was a buy back clause there. We are not a training camp for Barcelona...K1LLER7 said:
And will we finish higher than Liverpool next season without Cesc? I wish had the confidence but I don't. Cesc is just to crucial to our side. I honestly think that Wilshere and Ramsey need more experience and playing time with the likes of Cesc in order for them to improve their own skills.
We need to buy Cahill... I wish Wenger would just give Bolton their 17million so we can get on with it.
