He hasnt. Already covered in the thread. Press reporting what a mistranslated press article said. Even his agent has denied it. I aint worried at all.

You should be worried. You have a owner who likes to sell and if a big club comes in for Benteke he will jump. It won't be Arsenal though but I could see Spurs trying to be funny in attempting to sign him.

It was a joke Salazar. I don't care much for Benteke. I want Jovetic... however impossible that feels right now but I do feel Benteke would jump if the situation arose. Not to Arsenal though because we are not in for him.

Could be. I am chill with it. Benteke has been immense for us but also had games where he is anonymous (he played when we lost 8-0). If we end up selling him it wont be the end of the world.

I am far more concerned about keeping Lambert than any player, he is out of contract before Benteke. He is building something interesting at Villa. I want him to see it through.

He's all yours! Honestly though, we won't sell Vermaelen for 5mil... that's just bullshit. I have a really hard time believing it.

To be honest with you I would be more interested in Weimann than Benteke. He was fantastic against us in the return match. I like him.

Yes we are looking for a right back. Sagna is on his way out. He only has 1 year left, we've offered him a shit contract which he refused, now Monaco/PSG/Russia are lining him up. Either way, he's gone from Arsenal this summer.

Lowton scores some great goals. He can come to Arsenal, that's okay with me!

He does. Great player on his day. Honestly though, he is a first team player for us, as we try and push up the table. I doubt he would be anything but a squad player for you lot who are aiming for CL spots every season.

Then again Wenger trusts exciting youth just like Lambert. So maybe?

Honestly bad move all round, especially for Lowton. We have Jenkinson who is young as well so we should buy someone slightly more experienced to push Jenkinson to his limits. Signing Lowton will be dooming one of them to failure through lack of game time or dooming them both with swapping and changing all the time.

Agreed.

By the way I am watching the first Dortmund/Real game. Holy shit. Dortmund playing at the top of their game leaves you breathless just watching it. If Lambert can turn us into half the team Dortmund is I would be delighted.

Andy Carroll -> West Ham 15m
Jonjo Shelvey -> West Ham ?m (3-4?)
Coates -> some team ?m (3-4?)
Reina -> Barca 10m
Jay Spearing -> Newcastle ?m (25-30?)
Skrtel -> Russia 16m

Ter Stegen, Tello, Mkhitaryan/Eriksen, Papadoupolis, Anderweireld, Falcao can probably all be done with those funds.

I'd disown Newcastle for this. Dan Gosling levels of retardery.

Yeah our Owner. He's so silly.

Selling Miner for 24m. Downing for 20m. Young for 16m. After they all handed in transfer requests. He loves to sell.

Last exam at half one, listening to Sting's 'Every Breath You Take' and eating porridge to prepare.

If we let Shelvey go I won't be heartbroken. His lazy performance against Fulham gave me the hump, and it means more game time for Henderson.

What was City v Chelsea score? Both kits look nice.

lol probably bullshit, but apparently Mike Phelan and Eric Steel have been sacked.
Click to expand...

The source is Richard keys and Andy Gray. God I hate those cunts and that cunty station.

I will await more info from more reputable sources, but I hope they're wrong, particularly about Eric Steele. He's been learning Spanish and has been working with and developing De Gea very closely since his move here, through thick and thin.

I'm not too bothered about Phelan given that nobody seems to even know what he does.

Maybe footy gaf knows the answer:

I've updated Chrome and now the "white" is much brighter than it used to be. So bright, in fact, that it hurts my eyes.

Of course, I thought of adjusting the monitor settings, but it's only chrome that is too bright. The other programmes are as they were before.

Is there any way I can change the brightness setting?

It dims the monitor at night and makes it much easier on the eye.

Phelan sacked? Hmmm. Who was Moyes' assistant at Everton??

Also, Henning Wehn is hilarious. Been watching some of his stuff about football, very funny.

Shelvey should go for more than that, he is English. Wouldn't actually consider selling him for such a low amount

BIGuain for Arsenal ?

Dunno, apparently our interest in Higuain is just as real. There's also a crazy rumor floating around that we've come to some sort of agreement with RM for Di Maria, promising them Vidal for next season. Probably bullshit, but hey. Muppets gonna muppet.

R.Madrid willing 2 stop the transfer of Neymar 2 Barcelona with 100m euros. At the Camp Nou, confident he will honour the agreement with FCB

That's just retarded. Pay €70m for Bale and keep the rest*.

*Don't loan more.
