Isco will cost?

So I see the normal group of very rich clubs being the only buyers!

I see Crystal Palace have signed an Arsenal striker on loan.

It's really confused me, because when I asked Pardew about getting a striker on loan before, he told me "It's a no go".

Isco to Liverpool? Oh look there's lord Lucan in my wardrobe and jimmy Hoffa under my bed.

May as well be potentially signing a 3 headed Venutian. Why the fuck would he go there?
Jimmy Hoffa! H/o while i get the FBI on the phone. They've been lookin for him since the 80's:whistle:

United want Schneiderlin:(

Stoke is going to bid on Dzeko. You see, folks. That's called ambition. They've bid on Shaqiri and now are bidding on Dzeko. And supposedly decent amount too. I wish Daniel was that ambitious and actually gave managers a shot to get top 4 instead of demanding it while giving his managers cheap alternatives instead of the player they really want

Nastasic on loan to Shalke until June

Kramaric is probably going to get a work permit

The gooners striker force is now Welbeck, Giroud and Campbell, right? I mean, if we can sign Ings or maybe even Lacazette(pretty please?), I think I'd like ours better. I know for a fact that if Bobby and Ade would fucking perform like they should and we know they can, we'd have a much better strike than them. Sadly, Ade doesnt give a flying fuck and Bobby hasnt been able to hit the net in 2 years. God we really need another striker to give Kane some rest here and there and to also give him some help. Our biggest need, IMO.

Leaking to the media that you are going to bid on players you know you have no chance of getting is not ambition. The Stoke ogres might fall for it though.

There's having ambition and then there's being deluded, what good is a bidding for a player if you have no chance of getting them...anyone can do that!

If Levy put in bids for Ronaldo and Messi would that make you happy?

Absolutely ridiculous post.

Yep it's just transparent pandering to the thicker element of their supporters.

Bill Kenwright made a habit of it for years at Everton, talking up big bids for top players as a sop to fans who were complaining that the club never went in for established stars - entering talks with clubs for players he knows won't join, allowing him to keep his wallet closed while shifting the blame onto the player. Lukaku was the first time in years that they bid for an in-demand, top-tier (value-wise as opposed to ability) player with any intention of actually signing him.

Worth noting, Hamburg and Arsenal are in a head to head battle said to resolve this week for 17 yo Polish defensive mid Krystian Bielik. Kid's supposed to be the real deal. If he's smart he'll choose Hamburg, as it's the most likely for him to see playing time and Wenger doesn't play midfielders over 6' anymore anyway.

If Levy was smart he'd stick a bid in. well worth cock blocking them for £3m and the possibility of getting a future gem

Isn't a poor idea at all, but it'd be a direct block to Veljkovic. We can be sure Levy will want to hold on to every penny he can until the stadium's built, so I don't think he'd deem it a worthwhile expenditure.
