Word has it that RM are only looking to loan Sahin out, not sell.
Then again it's transfer season, so levels of muppetry are always a danger.

At £25m I think they would. A £20m profit but for us it would still be worth it.
Yep it's crazy. Somebody like Xhaka moved for £6m earlier in the window, he'd have been great for us. Countless other examples over the last 2 years.

Just randomly came across this image on a Newcastle blog article. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
There's a real lack of those in this country. Go to the French countryside, and there's loads of them, and they're great
Link? Not seeing this anywhere.

Probably. Perhaps he's putting his club and playing career ahead of his short-term future and hollow honours?
25m would be a fantastic price considering his quality but when you look for how cheap he was last year, we really should have done our homework. In the last few years alone Xhaka, Sahin, Sandro, Ramires... we should have been looking at players like this.
It's not even worth getting your hopes up over
I will masturbate until the very moment he's in an Arsenal shirt

or maybe he just realized he wouldn't have much of a chance playing at Barca while he would have a good chance at Arsenal and have a French manager. But don't even see he really rejected them anywhere, other then the headlines, Barca showing interest doesn't mean they even made a bid.

When asked if he was aware of their interest, Koscienly added: "Yes of course and frankly it is flattering. But at Arsenal I have everything; I have a great training centre, a wonderful stadium and an amazing group.
"I really want to grow here as Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and some others did."

So he wants to stay at Arsenal become a great player become Captain and then move on to win things?
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
True, I forgot they landed that CB on loan. De Guzman and Michu were shrewd purchases, no question.

If Sahin really is available, I'd want him over M'Vila for sure. Sahin's proven, and Mou seems pretty willing to let him go out on loan (and probably permanent move, esp if they get Modric). Plus, Madrid are pretty lax with their selling policies, could probably get a decent price for all parties involved... (I can dream of... ~10m fee, right?)

Henry and Vieira left after their prime and at their best were Arsenal players. But the point of his statement was that the club offered him a long-term contract, and by extension of that, the opportunity to establish himself as a club legend and fan favourite. Whether or not he finishes his career at Arsenal is mute, the point is he (despite interest from Barca) is willing to.
Different type of player.
I'd love to have him at Spurs, but not on a loan deal. We need to build a squad now, not get more stop-gap loans.
fine, modrid for sahin, no cash involved!
Come Nuri. Come to us.

Fuck Modric.
Don't be silly, the Liga champions are in dire need of an attacking midfielder! For a mere €40m you can have another warm body to huddle up to Higuain on the bench and play 20 minutes against Zaragoza.
Pick mine! Pick mine!
Yours will taste like salt and despair
In terms of Villa it is not a bad thing.
I think he personally has more of a fondness for Villa than the Browns, but that's just my opinion.
It either means investment stays the same, investment increases or he's selling up everything in which case new investors are going to come in.

Granero and Ozil are attacking MF.
Seriously, I rather have Sahin on the bench than pay 40m for Modric.
Apparently it is now up on the Feynoord site (which has crashed under the weight).
By the way I'm calling it now. Vlaar and Clark as starting centre backs.
i know
i was being sarcastic
Modric to Real is a move that makes no sense. To spend 30m+ on him while there are other positions that need to be strengthened, is madness.

Well, when that was going around work this morning I was actually surprised. I figured if he had to pick, he would pick the Browns, seeing as he is America, and it is a pretty lucrative team, being an NFL team with fans who refuse to leave the stadium (although that strength has been waning a bit recently). But then I thought that maybe he has more emotion for Aston Villa because he bought this team on his own, it wasn't an inheritance, etc. We have heard rumors before of Aston Villa being sold, so I don't know.
To answer the question at hand, I think this will only help, and, hopefully, enable Randy Lerner to invest more money in Aston Villa as he invests less of his own capital in the Browns. I love the Browns, and have been going to a majority of the home games since they came back in 1999. However, it has become such a bigger desire to see Aston Villa do well, that I am excited at this thought.
I think it is good news!

Both.
Sheikh Mansour's.
Sahin. Cabaye is great though.
Without injury if I could only have one definitely Sahin.. he was brilliant for Dortmund he should never have left for Madrid so early no matter how much he admires Zidane.
This is pretty much the only good video I've seen of him on Youtube.. gives someone who's never watched him a detailed summary of the type of player he is.

Benfica - Madrid should be good, although Madrid goes without Spanish and Portuguese Internationals.
If today I win Euromillion, tomorrow I will go to Bernabéu and buy Coentrao as my housemaid.

Glad to see you guys agree with me. Cabaye and Tiote being hyped up quite a lot though.
Some of the balls to Kagawa!
