I believe more than anything, Valencia wants to do business. They'll make a cool 25m off Mata.
Spanish Wrath said:Mata won't leave Valencia unless they offer him gazzillions of moneys.
Yes, and I suspect he'll have to do it soon. Now the Adam saga is over I doubt Comolli and the gang will have the patience to sit through another arduous battle with McLeish. If I was Comolli I'd wait a couple of days to see if Downing pushes in our direction and if not go head first for Mata.Wes said:McLeish says Downing not for sale.
So next step is Downing has to hand in a transfer request if he's going to move.
Don't they need to find 20-25m every summer to pay off debts?Spanish Wrath said:Mata won't leave Valencia unless they offer him gazzillions of moneys.

Bartomeu said: "The experience of the last few years and of last season shows us that we have right up until the last minute before the season starts.
"We made signings very late last season. We have the best team in the world so we can afford to be patient.
"There is no rush, we have until the last moment."

odd_morsel said:And Valencia has come out and said that they'd sell at 25m. Either way, that's the price that the club has set, and Arsenal has allegedly met the release clause. I just hope Liverpool are in it as well.
The Sun, having probably found the information on the answering machine of a dead baby, then tells us that wantaway Cesc Fabregas, who wants away from the club, in case you didnt know, has told teammates hell never play for the Gunners again. This is, of course, backed up with quotes, sources and comes from a reliable journalist who has no track record of talking absolute horseshit. Oh.
odd_morsel said:Also, City bought Silva, which pretty much disqualifies any standard of valuation.
odd_morsel said:Arsenal is going to beat Liverpool to Juan Mata. Jumping in when the Downing transfer is on the fence - smart move. Sad to say he'll do brilliantly there.

There's some random ITK claiming Arsenal have met his release clause.

So how did you come to this conclusion?

Until then he's a player at a club that need to sell him to make money.
"We should close the deal by the end of the day," his agent Ovidio Colucci told Impero Romanista.
"Of course anything could happen before the signatures are added to the contracts but I can confirm that there is only Liverpool for Doni.
"The only concrete offer has come from Liverpool and we hope to wrap everything up by this evening."

farhatraza said:Mata - Graham Hunter was just on SSN, and also confirmed yday, that two English clubs were negotiating directly with Mata and his agent. That would suggest they have permission to do so. He just said now on SSN that his 25m had been met and Arsenal were definitely in the race. Of course he is not an official source but better than ITK's and tabloids.
Nasri - Phillipe Auclair was just speaking about the Nasri deal. He said that sources had told him Nasri was all but set to sign a deal in March between the CL 2nd round games with Barca. The contract signing was delayed and Nasri's people began meeting with Man United. Next thing you know this is where we are.
He also said Gervinho is a very good player.
Can we bring Turan back with us?elseanio said:Liverpool have arranged a friendly with Galatasaray (away)
Hope this is true, wonder why he didn't sign the deal back in march. If it was due to the meetings he had with united, then I think we'll sign him.Hope this nasri saga is done over the weekend. Dutch paper stating that Sneijder's dream club is united and that if they offer 35 million he'll leave. Talks have already been held. not sure, but are united going for both Nasri and Sneijder?farhatraza said:Nasri - Phillipe Auclair was just speaking about the Nasri deal.

At this point, I'll be beaming like an idiot if we get either.

Got to find someone dumb enough to take them off our hands first! Wouldn't mind giving Aqualilani a chance as a back up though.bonesmccoy said:It's going to be odd seeing United without any players from that period.
Now that Charlie Adam has all but completed his move, who gets shown the door first? Aquilani or Poulsen? I would like to see Aquilani play now that he's fully recovered his fitness; people forget that his first season in England was also his first back after a serious knee injury. Plus, he can play behind the strikers, which guys like Henderson and Adam (I don't think) can.
Requeim said:Brown has a nasty habit of choking like a motherfucker at the most important times though, glad he got sold tbh. O'Shea would be a great signing for Sunderland though, a bit sad he has to go :/
It's almost certain Poulsen is leaving. The national team coach says if he doesn't get first team football, then he won't play for Denmark ever again.bonesmccoy said:It's going to be odd seeing United without any players from that period.

Similar to barca's system, feltcher playing the same role of busquets (minus the diving)doicare said:If we got both Nasri and Sneijder we'd have to play:

I'll give you he's been mostly shit the past couple of seasons, but to say he "chokes" at the most important times (when he's rarely played recently) is a bit silly.
why no, seems a pretty good team, didn't say we'd beat them but would have a better chance than we have previously.WJD said:hahahahahaha, no.
