Just chill. Newcastle have good businessmen running the show. A lot of what happens will probably be at the end of the window, when they've pushed the selling clubs to their limit and are willing to take cut prices.
neymar signed with barca/madrid?
I'm just kidding. I congratulated Hixx on Steam already.
Ashley is probably waiting for the Olympics to end so he gets maximum advertising when the signings are made.
(lol at "signings"... I crack myself up)

Wait, wait, wait. RvP is defenitely signing for Utd?
Certainly felt sick when Torres went to Chelsea. It really is a feeling like breaking up with a girlfriend.
Just a 10% stake. No way would he buy them outright.
Oh wow. Wonder if he's close to selling off the Mags then.
thats not a take over... fucking Sky Sports
It honestly feels like that to be honest. The rumblings of Song in the distance along with Walcott are enough to make me queasy.
I'm still convinced that Arsenal won't sell to us. It would be a PR disaster for them.
It would be different if they sold to City. They have all the money in the world so if they get RVP, Arsenal can say they never had a chance in front of all that financial muscle.
But if they sell to United, they're selling to one of their historical rivals who they've had a heated and bitter rivalry with over the past 15 years.

Isn't it up to RVP where he goes to?
When a player forgoes a loyalty payment (with that fee it'd likely be upwards of £1m) you know they're desperate to get out.
He can say he wants to go to United, but if Arsenal don't want to sell then there isn't much he can do.
Although I think they might be in breach of EU regulations if that happens.

I feel like we're announcing our surrender, I don't even feel angry about it,just depressed.
Just send him to Juve or make him see out the final season, then at least we have no control of where he goes next.
So do I after reading that.
I reckon SAF will be asked about what happened with the Moura deal. He'll blame agents fees and Sao Paolo for that one.
He'll be asked about RVP too but I reckon he won't answer or he'll just say that we have an ongoing interest but haven't had any contact with Arsenal in weeks.

Imagine if Torres had moved to Man Utd. Damage would have been dealt
I'd be even sourer towards the entire city of Manchester than I am already. At least with Chelsea they're down the other end of the country so you don't really have to interact with the club or it's fans.

This glorious man refused to sell Vidal to Bayern and sent him (personally) to Juve for less money.
Do the right thing Arsenal. Your pride is at stake!
He also said fuck no to Chelsea with their Schürrle offer and to Bayern with their Bender offer this year. Great work if you ask me

What a shame his team is shit, tho.
Joining Joey Barton at Fleetwood.
To replace Keita, I'd imagine. He's versatile in midfield and defence, which seems exactly their remit. Don't know why they're buying him and not an actual central defender though, although as I say that they'll probably bid for Agger.
As a back up to Busquets probably.
It doesn't look like Barca are signing a new centre half so they'll probably continue with their experiment of Mascherano as a defender. So they'll need a second DM as Masch won't be able to play there.

Nope. It's all just hearsay at the moment.
As much as I'd like to see RVP at Old Tradbrick, he does seem like a very expensive luxury right now.
Plus he'd balls up my fantasy football team
It just has seemed to come out of nowhere. Hope we get a decent price for him but I'm in shock really. Could be bullshit but you never know..
Your on the list.
In fairness, now RVP is gone you've got little need for his sublime lobbed through balls anymore, and a player like M'Vila would better serve the defensive aspect of the game, leaving the likes of Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere, and Cazorla to dictate in front.
M'Vila is an exciting prospect for sure & if we get him for 15/under euros it will be a steal. Still will be a bit of a shock to see our line-up next season missing Song/Walcott/RVP, If indeed it plays out like that. I'd be very interested to see how the Walcott contract talks are going, It's all quiet on that front and he, Like RVP has just a year on his contract.
This is a fear. Could see him turning into the invisible man next season. Which is a fucking shame because he's incredibly talented.
You'll be saying that each season, Believe me.
I thought the recently completed Season 5 was the best in the show's history. New viewers have a lot to look forward to.
Still hopeful that City can trump Arsenal on M'Vila. The only reason I can see why we wouldn't is the club administration being nervous about his attitude. Lot of it already at the club...
