Abou Diaby offered new 2 year extension to his current deal, the new terms on his contract stipulates that he must contribute towards any medical treatment he recieves

The big question is why? he never plays much and is a drain on the clubs wages, I rather he has a contract saying he gets paid per game, a very low £5k a week and the rest made up with bonuses, that way it would be better for the club.

He isn't even worth waiting on. I could see if he had the ability of let's say Cesc or Xavi but was injury prone, but he's average at best. Cut our losses with him

He should be on a set wage of £10kpw and £50k per appearance. Stays fit he's on £60k per week. If not he's still got cash in his pocket. Think that is fair enough.

It saves the club from signing a player this season freeing up further the 70 million. Abou Diaby and Yaya Sanogo. The professor at his finest! I rate AD but too injury prone and is worth a slight gamble if given an incentive type per week deal as stated above. Yaya Sanogo, in my opinion, had he not had all the set backs would and could still, become world class or at least in a few years be worth a few million. The board and AW must be licking their lips at more profit.

Well I've never heard that one before having to contribute towards any medical bills. That to me sounds like Arsenal are saying you are high risk and we can't get you covered on our medical insurance. ( which they do have for each player before anyone thinks I'm joking) I don't know what to make of this except that they really don't want him but are stuck with him as nobody rates him because of his form.

Well that blows his wages then

Please at the second post recognise Diaby is not average at best he has a lot off ability, he's strong, a great dribbler, skillful, a good passer and a strong tackler. He has all the attributes to be a top player but his injuries prevent his progress. When he is on form like the Liverpool match last season, the Aston Villa game a few seasons back, he gives us that steel in the midfield and helps with the transition from defense to attack.
I think on form he could get into quite a few teams, he'd be ahead of Anderson, Cleverly, Lucas, Sandro, Parker, Huddlestone, I'd prefer Diaby on his day to Ramires, Ramsey, and Arteta in the holding mid position.

Second post Diaby fit will start ahead of most players in DMF in the league. He is strong, skillful, a good passer and a good tackler.
Agree1
Disagree0
When he's fit Diaby is quality, nurture him back, look after him and let's get a couple more seasons out of him.
Agree1
Disagree0
If this is true he will end up owing us money
Agree1

I would not think the "analyst" is old enough to have seen Diaby play let alone talking tosh about comparisons
If this rumour about Diaby's contract extension is true, he is Wengers' quality addition ha ha
Truthful Gooner

I think you'll find he has been offered a new 2 year deal as the physio assistant, as he know the treatment table better than anybody else at the Emirates.
And cannot be any worse in keeping our players time out whislt injured short.

higuain has been told by real he can leave and complete move to arsenal who have found a compromise price for higuain of around 23.1million pounds and he just has to finish aggreeing personal terms with gunners and then deal will be complete
gunners will announce the signing of brazilian midfielder bernard very soon
arsenal to make £38m bid for suarez before the end of next wek

Yet another one about higuin, if it happends great if not ohwell, but all these (he has signed, oh wait he hasn't signed) rumours are getting a bit to boring.

You really need some evidence to back up all the claims mate, otherwise you just sound like everyone else pretending they know what's going on regarding Higgy.

Your saying Higuain, Bernard and Suarez. No chance.
Agree1

De ja vu - no offence we've heard it all before, it likes it could've been copied and pasted from at least 10 different posts, in as many days!
Agree1

So that's
21 million for Bernard
23 million for Higuain
38 million for Suarez
I'm not convinced we can afford this.
Paul

We would never spend that much without selling a star player or two.
Agree1

Be (pleasantly) surprised if we were to sign both Suarez and Higuan. That would surely mean we are selling one of Giroud, Walcott or Poldi.
Agree0

Higuain doesn't want to move to Arsenal.
How difficult is this for people to understand.
Higuain is holding the deal up, no one else
Agree0
Disagree0
The personal terms for Higuain and thee fee were agreed weeks ago Real Madrid tried to increase the fee recently. So if Higuain tells Madrid he definitely wants to go again the deal should go through extremely fast as their was a deal in principle which is why every media outlet went as far as claiming he would arrive imminently for his medical.
Bernard I doubt it.
Higuain yes
GK yes
DMF yes
Suarez unless a compromise could happen on his fee then no.

"So that's
21 million for Bernard
23 million for Higuain
38 million for Suarez"
Good point re: cost but the costs are vastly more, when signing on fees and wages are included.
Suarez might cost £38 million but a 4 year contract, agents fees, signing on fees, clauses, appearance money, bonuses etc might take the total cost to £70 million.
Fans never seem to understand this. Free transfers, for example, are never free.
Btw Higuain hasn't agreed terms with Arsenal. Higuain is holding the deal up because he isn't convinced about a move to the Gunners {Ed027's Note - you're completely wrong about Higuain, the fee is holding up the move, as more or less everyone has stated
Agree1

Does anyone else think there more going on? ronaldo to man u bale and suarez to real higuain to arsenal???

14 Jul 2013 18:46:34
Ed0027, absolutely not. this will all come out in the wash. real and arsenal might be squabbling over the fee but at the heart of everythingis higuain's growing doubts about moving to england {Ed027's Note - his father has said, Higuain wants the move...end of
Agree0

I have it on impeccable authority that we will sign Luther Blissett.
Agree0
Disagree0
No. Wrong. Higuain is the limiting factor here. It's beginning to emerge in the media as well - trawl through the evidence. End of ;)
He may well have been sort of keen earlier but people change their minds. this isn't football manager. It will all be proven eventually. {Ed027's Note - we'll see

I posted on here a few days ago. The only thing that has changed since then is;
Rooney will end up Chelsea if he leaves United.
Madrid want Suarez still but need us to buy Higuain so yet can use that money to buy him.
Kondogbia is out cheaper alternative to Fellaini.
Frimpong will either be loaned again or sold this year due to his lack of progress.
Cesar is no longer in our plans I stead Krul from Newcastle, Adler possibly.
Wenger has said he want at least two big name signings this summer and a high profile striking duo.

Eds does Arsenal have any interest in Julian Draxler? He looks like an awesome prospect. {Ed029's Note - Posted elsewhere by Ed02 - Both Milan clubs, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea have enquired at one level or another about Draxler - each has met a "not for sale" barrier.}

Some fella in the pub this afternoon was saying he had inside information that arsenal's next offer for Suarez is £36m + bendtner. Anyone else heard this?
Sounds like a decent deal to me.

You really think Liverpool would accept that? The backlash from their fans for getting Bendtner as Suarez's replacement would be immense.

Don't be silly bendtner is way better how about a strait swap ha ha

That is not true.

I think they would prefer £35m and NO Bendtner!

Hilarious! I think that would be rejected straight away.
i'm pretty sure we are interested in suarez, and i'm sure a second bid is not far off.
Agree1

I never once said I thought it was true lol. I did question the crazy fool and he said they would use the money for a replacement. Bendtner is Carroll's replacement
Agree0

13 Jul 2013 15:57:48
haha 337 that's hilarious xD
Although, Bendtner is the type of player Liverpool would buy. I mean when I remember some of their signings like Poulsen, Riera, Konchesky, Adam and the list goes on.
Agree0
Disagree0
Bendtner is the best player in the world better than messi and Ronaldo, why wouldn't Liverpool want him for luis, personally I like nicky and think he wasn't used the way he should of been, arsen played him on the left when he should of played cf
Agree0
Disagree0
Bendtner isn't a bad player he just has an ego in excess of his natural playing ability.
I remember when he was bangin in goals for us when we needed him to and was scoring for us in the CL. I want him to leave but he isn't bad Liverpool/Everton is the kind of club for him probably.

Yeah great story you would be able to hear the laughing from anfield when that bid goes in
