Seriously? Wow.
It's OK, we'll sell you Tiote and Cabaye for a combined 10m then. When you win the league, I expect you to give us the handles of the trophy for free.

Can you really see Wenger going out and saying 'right, I want 3 or 4 good players and Van Persie to stay.'? Lol
Seriously?
Well thats a load of shite.
But by mentioning Clev and Carrick he might be saying he's in for a midfielder?
Expect some squad signings but no-one that will really improve the starting 11.
Bye bye Kagawa
I can see him saying that right until he leaves. We've also got to sell Chamakh, Squillaci & many others, Though I doubt a lot of this will be done.
Rumour is kagawa for £8m, great value so could be true. Think we'll sign some players who could be world class players in the future.

I don't think SAF is pitching straight with those comments. He could just as easily be trying to misdirect.

Yup, many of our players are, quite simply, shit. And most of them have very high wages which makes it hard to sell unless we kill them or something.

I don't think he was pitching straight when he decided to play Giggs and Park on Monday either.
The high wages kill me. Who the fuck would sign Chamakh for example? I read that the only way he will go to Bordeaux is if he takes a wage cut!
Bye bye Kagawa
May 12 will be my last game for Dortmund and then I will start a new chapter in Manchester United, he told TV Osaka.
That's the fake quote I heard about, isn't it?

:lol, I really wish players wouldn't care so much about money these days, it kinda sucks the fun out of it tbh. If I were a footballer, I would play for free.

Lol. Big Sam would win the CL with our squad.
In seriousness, yes, I think he may have been referring to a CM in mentioning Cleverley and Carrick.
I also think his rant about City has come about because Hazard has picked City over United #psychic
He didn't say that though. He denied it and the Twitter account the news came from is fake.
What's even stupider about the Telegraph reporting it is that their Manchester correspondent stated on Twitter today that it was a fake quote...yet his paper are still running the story.

He didn't say that.
Hasn't he said 'no value in the transfer market' for years?

If I were Hazard I'd have picked City too if my frame of reference was Monday night.
So I just gathered, caught the tail end of something on Twitter about fake comments and from the comments on the article gathered it must be that.

Yep, which is clearly nonsense.

It's been confirmed that this info came from a fake source.
Yeah I think Hazard won't be coming to us.
I read that SAF article and in one of the bylines it says that he's looking at Sigurdsson, Hazard and Modric as potential targets.
Can't see us getting Hazard, probably a no on Modric too. Sigurdsson is a maybe but I'm not sure if he's good enough to start which is what we need right now.
The dream: Kagawa, Muniain, Martinez.
i'd have gone Stoke
There must be another reason why we don't sign players, when there definately is valuein the market. In the past 2/3 years look at the transfers made by madrid, barca and newcastle signing players for less than £10-15m.

Damn. Get it together SAF. Buy some quality midfielders.
Didn't this this exact same thing happen 18 months ago?
And in the end Rooney got a pay rise from it. The bastard.
Hazard can go fuck himself if he actually wants £200k a week.

Mail (lol I know) saying Pogba has told United he's leaving.
Somebody edit the OP, I'm a Real Madrid fan.
CAMPEONES! RONALDO!

Lots of crappy 'news' coming out at the moment. Hopefully just a kneejerk reaction to our rubbish season and not anything particularly substantial.
And Man City will be retarded enough to fund that. Then Hazard will have a shit season, request to leave and won't be able to find another club due to the wages.
Some footballers and clubs are thicker than dog shite and deserve all the bad that will happen to them.

We'll loan you Sahin for next season. He needs game time. We're gonna buy M'Vila and Lucas Moura so there's no space for him.

So we can't afford anybody good so we'll rely on youth who are all leaving.
Sounds good.
Edit: Wait! Doesn't matter! I'm a Newcastle fan. We'll sell Perch to United.

I can see us doing stuff all and Wenger being more concerned about balancing the books. We miss out on the CL and that will cost us in finance, players we attract and keeping our current players.
I get a bad feeling this will not be a good summer for Arsenal at all...

False.
That's Valdes still arguing with the referee.
Going to buy you an ugly away kit with "NEGATIVE BASTARD" on the back.
This reminds me of someone.
vidic coming back is like a new signing

I happen to think that we're going to be just fine. I think there's some sabre rattling going on behind the scenes at the club because of the lack of investment and Rooney's 'camp' sounding off is part of it.
I don't think Pog is going yet and I think we'll get Kagawa and a few others too.
Pff, BS. Yes, City, Chelsea and Real Madrid ruined the market, but you can still buy huge talents for cheap. You just have to look harder.
For example, Hazard is the most hyped winger in the freaking world right now. Obviously he will try to get huge money, but he isn't that amazing tbh. Any good winger from PSV could do better than him and for around 10m. You can also look in markets like Germany (first, second divison) for talents. They usually cost less than 10m. There are talents everywhere in the bundesliga.
Also, in regions like "north" latin america (Honduras, Costa Rica, México, Colombia, Ecuador) you can find amazing player for cheap. For example: Emilio Izaguirre, LB - Celtic payed 700,000 euros for him.
SAF is becoming lazy, IMO. Obviously a player from EPL or overhyped players like Hazard are going to cost huge amounts of money because that's how the market works.
