5 year deal. Great news!

Good news for club and fans bosscielny

Confirmed by?


DN~

Why is this not on arsenal.com?

Paul - Rochester

Atlast a player that shows he's loyal to the club- maybe rvp will have this in the back of his minde but i doubt it very much- well kos you was great last season and you learnt from ya mistakes. you n tv5 will be great next season

^ Theres plenty of players that have shown loyalty? eg vermaelen wilshere says hes gna spend his whole career here, sagna szscesny rosicky

Wtg kos thats what fans want a loyal player

BOSSCIELNEY, this guy is gonna be a legend, put a statue of him outside the Emirates already!

arsene wenger wants 30 million for rvp
sussex gooner

Did you really think that's news u mug?

Bit high shud be 25mil

Excellent, now can you tell me what the lottery numbers for yesterday were?

Hearing its 20m, city bid 15m, man u 13m, juve 8m...
wont sell for less than 20m

Should be 25? if we got anything over 15 a would say thats a good deal

So do I but it is not going to happen. As soon as anyone gets close to 20m then he will go. If it is Juventus bidding then Wenger will accept even slightly less than that.

ADL.

He also wants 30 million for the so called deadwood players. But any player is only worth what other teams are willing to pay. You take the biggest profit and make a sale. But in are case the other teams won't match the wage we pay so the deal don't happen
Buckleb

I'd sell him for £24m, minimum

Rvp to be replaced and maybe even swapped for Benzema watch this space

£25million minimum, anything less and let him rot in the reserves.

Guys,let's be down to the ground. I personally don't expect any big names honestly. AW philosophy is proved in the last 16 years, it will be the same again. The RVP replacement is done. We do need depth in the midfield, but i rather believe that either he will promote someone from the B team, or if he buys someone who will be young, prospective. May i be wrong but look at the facts and you will agree with me. THe only thing right now is to hope that the players will stick together and not get the start from last year

Macedonian GOONER

Yep, you're spot on mate

Wow, someone speaking with a bit of sense and realism

Well said, it will be frimpong n coquelin not m'vila, the ox n lansbury not gotze or ganzo. rvp gone, giroud his replacement if not podolski, maybe even theo if he signs and bartley at the back not sakho with ryo not carzola.I wish we'd buy just one but this is wenger.
Jim

How has wenger been proved right in the last 7 seasons we've won nothing and sold all our best players

Remar28

Said something like this 2 days ago but for some reason wasn't posted.. Thanks ed

You should post this every time someone says we'll spend £50 on 3 players. Spot on

One of the most realistic posts on this site! This has been, and will be for a while to come, the way Arsenal will operate. shame the club just dont come out and own up to it and avoid the fans being let down year after year.

If the price is right for a big name then he will spend. Look at Arshavin before he joined he was one of the best players at Euro 2008 with a lot of big clubs vying for his signature yet Wenger forked out £15 million for his signature and at the time Arshavin was considered a big name. So if Wenger feels like the asking price matches a players performance then he will spend.

I think that most of the people that post stupid rumors on this site know deep down that what your saying is true, we just don't want to admit it. It will be the same as every year we will just sell our best players and bring in a replacement with promise but no experience.........wonder why we've stopped competing for the tittles.

Monaco Gooner

Yeah wenger is right buy players devlope them and sell them when there at there best and win no trophies.suprised every club hasnt took this approach ha

Not the most optimistic post I've ever seen though I have felt that way in every transfer window prior to this one. Think we will see 2 signings and will have a stronger squad than last year.

I dont think anyone good would even want to join the club

20 Jul 2012 16:59:51
Jesé Rodriguez will join from real madrid soon.

You will lose your internet for the rest of the summer starting today

20 Jul 2012 13:10:56
i have close ties with bacary sagna, and he told me Van persie wanted to play for barca or real madrid or juve. also joe allen from swansea has been targeted along with ganso.

imo we should swap rvp with dzeko or berbatov

You probably don't even know his Wife's name....

NW

Dzeko + money - yes, Berbatov in any case - no

Stefan

I read the first 6 words and didnt bother with the rest, please, dont post any more nonsense
AYoungGunner

If thats what he wanted then he should have been brave enough to say, not wait until the last year of his contract then try and hold the club to ransom.
i like AFC stance, heres out price - match it or no sale

Cant believe people like N have the cheek to comment on this with the bs you post!

Allen is going to Liverpool

Couple things mate. Name my "BS" and no the "Big News" one doesn't count as I wasn't claiming that I said that's what I heard. Also at least I sign off with my name on posts.

All rubbish... And why the hell would you want Berba + Allen is coming to Liverpool...

20 Jul 2012 09:32:52
Brazilian midfield star Ganso is due to be lining up for Brazil in this year™s 2012 London Olympics and reportedly he is a transfer target for Arsenal™s

Al

Mate your well informed, just a couple of weeks to late though!

He's also valued at £45m not sure if we will pay that, even if we got near £100m for all the players we don't want. We can't even pay the £5m asking price for the kid from Caen.

There not Wenger wont pay that much

To the £45m poster, apparently (not sure if it's legitimacy) Santis adds willing to sell him to the highest bidder, as they are struggling to keep Neymar, they shut down their women's team and some other projects, so they could offer Neymar a bumper deal, Ganso feels that he deserves similar treatment, and santos haven't provided it, so he wants to leave santos, and as they need the money, they are reluctantly ready to sell him.

If you'd of asked me where he was going last year, it was AC Milan, but they've just sold their two best players as they need money, Mamchester united are after Lucas Moura, Chelsea are going for Oscar (who we apparently wanted, but bailed as soon as Chelsea confirmed interest) and man city can buy whoever, Barca won't take him, their midfield is packed, Madrid won't take him for similar reasons, and inter can't afford him.

Right now, if our interest is legitimate, I'd say we've a good a chance as any, even though I'd back Porto with a shout.

RVP's fate will be known by the end of today. Fernando Llorente is lined up as replacement. Jose Rodriguez to sign with in 24 hr.

Ug Gooner...

Rodriguez will sign but i doubt it will be in 24hr

As a fan i would love it if Fernado .L came to the club he would be a fantastic replacment a prober finisher.

Is it Jose Rodriguez or Jese Rodriguez? We seem to have been linked with both at some point.

Stezza.

This story seems to drag on & on. Too many Rumours to believe which one is true. Do u really think Wenger will spend that large amount of money. This RVP issue must come to an end. Prefer Wenger to concentrate on the defence & bring in a new centre back!!

Jese rodriguez not jose rodriguez

Hearing M'villa stall is due to wage demand he feels he should be on 90k rising to 100k with bonuses arsenal feel it should be more around the 80k moving to 90k with bonuses both parties feel they can meet in the middle but neither are happy at the 90k to 95k mark deal will defiantly happen as both want it too just who folds first

Also m'villa representatives are demanding some crazy image bonuses which Ivan is refusing but they have backed down as long as his basic wage demands are met.

Sounds really promising as both parties defiantly want it to happen just usually buisness negotiations holding things up

My understanding is that there is a verbal agreement with Rennes for a fee of 13m euros raising to 15m with appearance bonuses this works out about 10m sterling which Rennes aren't happy with but see it as a starting point and are willing negotiate if Arsenal are

Dan

Mate i want some real information... if your so excite go for a bash

real goon

Finally, what seems like a legit rumour. Hope this really happens, but I won't lose sleep over it. Arsenal need to get some blokes quick

I really hope this does happen, he would add the physicality we lack in the midfield and would cover Song well when he pushes forward.

Really don't know whether to believe you or not!
Jersey boi

Right there, are the words of a true child. ^

Ben X.

Defiantly....

Since I found out that Song will be gone for ACON (assuming they qualify) as will perhaps Frimpong - and due to our 'good' luck Coquelin will be injured - we need M'Vila more than we think. Otherwise Jan/Feb without any 'real' DM, remember how we did without any 'real' Full Back's - I don't want to see that happen again!

Bentschke

90 - 95 is hardly in the middle.

So basically your saying that M'villa will collect more in wages than Walcott, Song, Wilshere, Giroud, Vermaelen, Kozzer etc,... yeah that makes perfect sense!

Interesting stuff and i hope that you are right !

What is your source of this precise information ?

No acon this season my friend. It's next season.

I keep hearing we are going to sign M'villa and I believe we may be in talks but I cannot help but think there are better options for us, particularly, Capoue - my main problem with M'villa is whether he will settle in London and play for the team or whether he is coming to a big playground with all it's associated distractions.

Mvila is barely making over 25K a week at rennes to deman 80k is crazy.

look at giroud. he was on 25k a week, we signed him up and paid him 45k a week rising to 60k.

Mvila is not going to get 80k from league 1 to the EPL in year 1.


Just so you know only attacking players can command a very high initial salary, it also depends on the club. its unlikely that arsenal would entertain him dictating terms. he already has a attitude issue. him trying to squeeze money out of them means they will tell him to bugger off.

Lakerville

That would be typical Arsenal, quibling over a couple of thousand.

ACON IS this season. Its 2 years in a row so it can be alligned to the same season as Euros going forward

Sorry maybe i missed something here but surely Rennes would not allow M'villa to actually talk to Arsenal unless a bid is actually accepted otherwise is that not classed as Tapping up a player? So either this is all utter nonsense or I have missed the bigger picture please feel free to enlighten me.

Gavsta

Firstly; it is definitely. Not defiantly. Secondly, this is entirely incorrect. We wouldn't entertain the idea of signing him on a 90k p/w contract. The delay may be due to wage demands but we won't sign him if he wants that sort of money. Thirdly, the deal is £17.7m.

We aren't even trying to sign him anymore!! The reason there's a delay is cause it's not happening!
