I think the rumours are more that it's not the done deal it was reported to be yesterday. Which isn't really that much of a surprise, this is Arsenal after all.
And the Arsenal transfer window begins.

Make sure JT goes away for a long time, mmkay?
We'll take him. /has seen M'Villa once
Aah, the Arsenal we all know and love.

Yeah, I've never seen M'Vila play for his club. I don't watch French football.
typical. mata all over again.... ugh.
In retrospect, my post looked like at dig, but no, I have literally seen him play once, for France. (Just clarifying)
Why would they do that though? He's been rumoured to be going to us for a while and Wenger is a big fan.

That's great for Mancini. He was probably struggling to get his players up for the title-deciding game.
Maybe it's because of the assault case he's been charged with.
All rumours anyway.
I've seen him play a handful of time. Reminds me of Lucas but he's also a wonderful passer of the ball.
(That's not to say he is a better player than Lucas btw, though I see no reason why he couldn't be given the right direction.)
I've no idea why they would pull out.
The journalist reporting this seems to be pretty legit though.
Then you should at least spell their team name correctly
This is probably THE most important match of their lives so far for most of the players. I doubt they need motivation from their manager to go kick QPR's ass.
Athletico
I read that's not the first time he's been accused of something like this.
is Athletic Club (Bilbao) or Atletico Madrid, there is no h in atletico in Spanish.
Twitter is such a joke for transfers. Search "M'Villa" and the top tweets are "M'Villa deal is 100% done, say L'Equipe" from some Arsenal fans with a few thousand followers, yet no sources for these claims. L'Equipe say nothing of the sort.
FourFourTom does the same, desperate to have exclusives or be"ITK"

Just watching Sky Sports News now, they've got the Kean bit on.
Even without the other rumours, the situation at Blackburn right now is genuinely suspicious. It's not just incompetence.
Yeah I don't know why people trust it so much.
I've seen him a fair few times and obviously Youtube clips too. I'd say he's like a more mobile, athletic Carrick.
True! Boooooo @ Twitter! If they were reliable Modric would have been a Chelsea player at the start of the season. I was foolish ;_;
The only thing less credible than Twitter is players who say, "Liverpool have made a bid for me. I hope to join. bla bla"

Definitely a big problem with Twitter, although I think this M'Vila story was first broken by some of these "ITK's" but then also by a couple of French journalists which gave it a bit more credibility.
One of the French newspapers also ran the story...obv. it's probably the equivalent of the Metro or something.
I can understand following respected journalists but people take it too far.

It's the same in the U.S. that's why I did it during Christmas.
Let's go Athletic Club! I <3 You Llorente!

Without doubt, Kean is linked to the owners and pulling strings.
I have never seen anythig like it I'm lost for words he has also said
'we had to take a step back to move froward'
'exciting times ahead'
'Venkys 100% right for the club'
'we lacked experience' ignoring the fact he sold Roberts. Nelsen, diouf and samba and froze out Salgado
He's just laughing at us now
I kind of liked him too. Dat debut! Remember the match against Roma? Good times ... I mean, bad times, as it later turned out. :/
Re: M'vila to Arsenal
A journalist from the London Standard is reporting that Arsenal weren't too pleased about M'vilas price tag/wage demends.
Now I've just seen Philippe Auclair saying the exact same thing.
Auclair says that Arsenal are atill interested but aren't quite as enthusiastic as they were a week ago.

Obviously means they're gonna sell Van Persie then and use the money used on his wages to help M'Vila, then use the leftovers to buy Yakubu.
People are still looking at this like it's a football situation. If rumours are to be believed - and I only have an outsiders opinion of this based on heresay and rumour - the football club itself is nothing more than a means to a financial end for the people involved, and the success or failure of the club itself is irrelevant.
Kean's presser was just ignorant. There's no plan there. No idea on how he's actually going to adapt to The Championship. Just vague terms like "building a team" and whatever.
The man will get you relegated again within 3 seasons. But that's not surprising. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. He isn't a football manager.
But there's where the incompetence ends and the suspicion starts. The arrogance of his position. The calmness with which he disregards every negative about Blackburn Rovers right now. He's a man who knows his job is safe. Comments about the Venky's being 100% right for the club and the like.. it's rotten to the core.
