If RVP was to leave, Arsenal would try to go for Fernando Llorente as he is at a good age, would cost near enough the same amount of money as we could sell Van Persie for and the wages that we offered RvP can be offered to Llorente. Doumbia is also a target and would cost around £15 million.
I would like either one as they are both goalscorers but Llorente has proven himself to be world class.
Ed, would Llorente be interested in joining Arsenal and do you believe that a deal could happen if RvP was to leave? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea if he would be interested in joining a club that has shown no interest in him.}

The beginning of your post states that arsenal would try and buy llorente. The end of your post asks if we would want to. A bit contradictory..

No it doesn't, it asks if he would be interested in joining us!

Why would Wenger go for llorente over other strikers like Doumbia? Is it because you prefer him on FIFA and 'see his potential' or something ridiculous?

Fernando Llorente worldclass - i dont think so.....very good but not worldclass even RVP isn't worldclass as this tournament has show and his own inconstancies at Arsenal again a very, very good player but not worldclass

Sky sources: Arsenal agree deal to sign Olivier giroud

Welcome to the party

Carlos Vela's proposed move to Real Sociedad is all but complete by all accounts... The deal is for 3.5m Euro's (Around 2.9m GBP) plus a 30-40% sell-on fee.

Also NB52 has recently hired a second agent to really push for a move, it appears he was dead serious about never playing for the club again... Reports circulating in Denmark today are strongly linking Benfica with the Danish Striker...

Also claims they've already approached Arsenal and this could be completed within the next 7-10 days.

_DialSquare_ {Ed027's Note - fee for Vela is way to small

Vela is worth upwards of £5m as a minimum.

D

I would take any money for players like Vela just to get them off our books and free up the wages kitty. Also around 7 -10m for Bender seems fair

Chess

Yeah vela ain't gonna for less than £5m at the least, so what you say is unfortunatly for you not true

We should put a buy-back clause on him...

Goodbye NB52...was never good enough and will never be....

Sorry but the club won't release players like Squillaci to get them off the books but they WILL take a £7m cut price offer for a talented young striker who could have become someone here, just to get him off the books? It's either utter nonsense or yet more disgraceful business from our club, one or the other.

Just get him off the books with a high sell on fee..thats about right.

^^^
Are you too stupid to know the difference between "Releasing a player" and "selling a player".

To release Squillaci we have to pay out the remainder of his contract. Selling Vela we get wages of the book and a transfer fee.

And Vela has had plenty of chances to make it England. He's not suited, period.

Yeah, I posted here last week that Super Eagles star John Utaka told me after training with the super Eagles ahead of the Rwanda match that Olivier Giroud is on the verge of agreeing personal terms and putting pen to paper on a 4year deal with Arsenal worth 12.4million pounds. ED and a few others didn't believe me... I av as update, the player has directed his agent to agree a 60,000 thousand pounds weekly wage and discuss other clauses which includes 70 percent assurance on regular starting time and playing position. I also spoke with Victor Moses who says he is also dreams Arsenal and will be glad to move to London from Wigan. Now take it, I am ready to bet with my left eye on Giroud joining soon

Based on the details given in your last post, i did believe you. For those that derided that post, they just seem to be a bunch of lazy people that cannot verify basic info to ascertain the authenticity of a story.

I tried to defend you because I know how close Nigerians are with players but I think ed pointed out a flaw in your rumour were you said he signed before the window opened.

It has just be reported on skynews now Oliver Giround deal is a done deal

But you didn't sign you're post so how do we know you said such as thing .. any one can claim these things!
BR

Vindicated

Does your left eye have an account at ladbrokes or do you mean you're a bookie yrself doing tic tac?

Now that Holland are out of the Euro's,do you think the rvp issue will be sorted soon,or will it drag on until August.
Braintreegooner {Ed002's Note - There is no immediate rush to resolve it. After RVP has taken a vacation then he can sit down and see what the club has to offer.}

It is very difficult to say - RVP has not won enough trophies given his talent. Matching his ambitions matches the fans ambitions as well.

But... can we really win the premier league. Looking at the strenghtening of the other big 4; it is difficult to say.

Man city are already very strong.
Chelsea have made 2 VERY good additions in Hazard and Marin.
Man Utd have added Kagawa, and I suspect they will get Modric.

Given this - the Premiership may not be realistic (sad but true guys...)

Then we have to look at the cups. Here, I think we are as good as anybody and can beat anyone in Europe (particularly if the rumours of M'Vila and Giroud are true!)

Billybob

Braintreegooner....whats your real name? I live Braintree and probably know you!

Si-Fan

There actually is an immediate rush. To say otherwise, is to suggest that last summers antics were totally acceptable - and that last minute decisions are justifiable. Arsenal FC and its fans need to know the future of robin van persie. I have a suspicion that the club already knows...and its only the fans in the dark.

ED... RvP is going on holiday NOT taking a vacation... that is all {Ed002's Note - Off to the sea side is he?}

Theo Walcott to Chelsea for £15 million.

More like 25!

I'd want closer to £20m, the last year or so, he has shown signs of becoming a football player !

YEAH after they signed Hazard this is total nonsence, but i wish it was true

If Henderson can go £20 mil' and Carroll for £35 mil' then how could Walcott be sold for only £15 mil' when he's better than both of those other two put together?!
