Valencia president Amadeo Salva says that although the club do not plan on allowing highly-rated goalkeeper Vicente Guaita to leave, he cannot rule out an exit if the price is right.

Valencia are in huge financial trouble, they would probably sell any of their players at the right price, the right price being the problem with us it would seem.

Surely the early negotiations were done before a consortium went to Spain? Which begs the question how were we so far off in valuation then?

It smacks of poor planning on our part, we are being forced into a supermarket sweep job again!

Forget it, we will not buy anybody because AW does not want to despite the fact that we have just 2 centre backs. The board should have acted weeks ago and changed the manager and therefore they are as much to blame. We need real Arsenal fans on the board and not just money grabbing individuals who have no interest in results, apart from financial ones. Just when I thought that Arsenal were ready to challenge once again, we are going to be left behind and it will take years to come back with AW in charge.

I'll offer you a Wenger sized offer . and negotiate from there!

Why have we not moved for proven premier league keepers such as Begovic and mignolet, who I think was a great buy for liverpool.

And also means we may aswell be bidding in japanese yen! Maybe Wenger still thinks he's managing Grampus 8?

Arsenal have all that cash reserve. and would rather let the tax man tack a massive chunk of it through a business tax than actually spend it on players. must have shares in the inland revenue or something lol

Offer £8 million and put a 48 hour limit on the bid. Time for us to start playing hardball for a change. That leaves plenty of time for another player, preferably Begovic, next week. Can't think of another major club that needs a keeper, so competition for both players may be limited, although I don't suppose Pulis will do us any favours.

{Ed022's Note - For a smartie, you're not so smart... Pulis was sacked a long time ago. Current manager of Stoke? Mark Hughes...}

Yeah but we won't get him as they want £20million for him.
