Brilliant thank you Ed. Interesting you say Southampton will let them know. In the press Arsene said we are respectful to clubs we ask them what they want to do and if they say so and so is not for sale we don't insist.

He also seemed to indicate that was not the case with psg regarding Alexis. If this is true why on earth are some clubs like arsenal willing to respect that and leave it whereas some won't take no as an answer. Not saying there's anything wrong with it.

{Ed002's Note - Sometimes it is simply posturing rather tha a hard "No".}

That's understandable some people want to push then. Thank you for the reply.

Did Arsene take no for an answer in Lacasette case? :-)
Kettle pot black me thinks.
Like most people it's a very different story when the boot is on the other foot, if we really want a player who also really wants to join us we will do all we can to make it happen, it's the same for all clubs the world over.

Most probably is like that 62. Although I do remember when united signed martial Arsene said we didn't realise he was available to buy. Does make me wonder if we just do take no for an answer.

Money talks at the end of day D16 if you offer enough cash anybody is for sale. Arsenal are polite that way and ask is the player available before making a below acceptable offer were as others just slap the hard cash down and say we will give you this much for him without asking first.

Don't think we asked Liverpool about Saurez, I think we just piled straight in with our bid a quid policy in order to activate some imaginary cluase that unsettled the player and upset the club, very proper I must say :-)
Its the same everywhere, non one likes having their best players taken but are more than happy to do the same else where, Arsene is no different he just doesn't like it what it works against him, which I fairness is very Arsene in itself :-)
