Hah no, they're so financially well off that they could probably afford Lionel Messi if they wanted.
exaggeration but I hear they're in quite a good financial position

They are still paying off the stadium, and should loosen up a little once that is cleared, but they are structured so they can continue to make a profit as a team. Giving M'Vila a wage outside of the wage structure just creates pandemonium and you will see Song, Arteta, Walcott, etc all begin to demand higher wages based off the one player. Sometimes it is worth breaking the structure for a world class player, but not a young, largely unproven one such as Yann M'Vila.
Pretty much. M'Vila will have other offers and I'm sure the Milan clubs for example will offer bigger wages.

If Arsenal have identified M'Vila as one of their key signings, £18m isn't a fair price IMO.
Whether they should be spending that much of their budget on him I'm not sure. M'Vila is good and will make the team better but I think they need to strengthen in defence and on the wings/attacking midfield more urgently.

They better get it done before the Euro's.
Arsenal were interested last season too weren't they?
If he has a good Euro's then price would probably go up by £3m-4m.
More clubs will be interested as well.

Wait till City find out who he is.

If he has a good Euwo, SoccerTriads is going to be getting even more of my money.
Rennes will only be happy to advertise him more. Arsenal are screwed.
City will just try to hijack anyone who is linked with United so I'm not worried.

Yet people including folk on here blame the fans and say we deserve it for how we have treat Kean.
Anyone who sees any amount of him should see straight through him
Pfft, as if there's any club who doesn't check the Football Manager wonderkid database for their signings.

New England Patriot's WR Chad Ochocinco is a fan of Balotelli.

He obviously doesn't know how much of a clown Mario is.

I really REALLY want to see the new Newcastle home kit

Still no news on it? How odd.
Can't wait for the new away one to be delivered to my door though. Hopefully get it tomorrow.

To be fair, they kind of filled similar roles once upon a time. Except Chad's antics weren't those of douchbaggery. He's a pretty cool guy from everything I've seen.

No doubt. He's an extremely likable guy. He was asking on Twitter if anyone in the Boston area had off today and wanted to meet up and go shopping. Who does that? He does it all the time though.
Oh no you don't.
Huh?
I won't let you buy that tablecloth. You can buy Liverpool's tribal purple third shirt, though.
Ah, thanks for the clear up.
I think utds looks classy, plus I want a Valencia kit. I am in for a Liverpool home though.
I can't believe Danny Simpson is still only on around 10k a week given the likes of Alan Smith and Xisco are still being paid over 50k a week. No wonder Danny is considering his options in the Summer. To be fair, that's not a deserved wage (yeah yeah in an ideal world footballers probably wouldn't even be paid this much but you know what I mean) for a guy who's been for the most part excellent.
He seriously needs to be offered a solid new contract. I want him to stay.

Feliz cumpleaños Elsk
I thought this was Christmas for a second and was confused, then all my Spanish came flooding back haha
I wonder what Pardew is on himself. Wages at Newcastle are probably very low all round.
He's on less than a million. 500k IIRC.
Well if we can afford to pay Xisco and Alan Smith over 50k all these years, I'd imagine that's the upper level of wages we will pay. Definitely not near the 100k mark as that was one of our biggest problems in the past.

Nah, he must just have been busy using his millions of pounds from Chelsea on hookers and blow in Brazil. Look at that smile, clearly had a lot of "recreation".
Oh and happy birthday Elsk.
Look who showed up for the PES 2013 presser in Brazil this morning.......
He's pictured here with Jon Murphy, who is the games community manager.
Not the best of endings, but it sure feels good to see him smiling again...
Get Agger on the back. I'll chip in.
He has nothing to pout about. All that money soaked up those tears before he even reached his car.
