I can't see us getting Arteta for cash plus Jenas unless a) David Moyes takes a huge knock on the head minutes before the initial offer is faxed through or b) the cash part of the deal amounts to 100 million.
Btw I remmeber you mentioning Koumas as a good player we should be looking at. I've seen him 3 times now this season and he's easily good enough for us, or at least as good or better than what we currently have (I don't know if that is actually good enough for us). How has his career turned out so that he's played for so many shit teams?
As a wales fan and Cardiff city being my second team iv seen Koumas plenty of times and he's such an infuriating player, has so much ability but just doesnt have the desire or commitment to be a top player.
yeh i know ex albion keeper russell hoult and he says same about Koumas, no desire, hard to motivate and doesnt believe in himself too. Really paranoid about his bad skin/spots too, showers separately - very self-conscious
Except both Sven & Moyes were linked with Jenas in the summer, so we know they rate JJ.

I'm touched that you remembered
I've always thought Koumas was a cracking player. As Liam says below, it's always been an attitude thing with Koumas, which is why I always hoped that if BMJ could give him a huge bear hug and get him on the road to where he should be, he could maybe fulfil his huge talent. Not sure what Ramos' record with turning underachievers into World beaters is, but he seemed to do well with Kanouté.
