The Gareth Bale transfer rumour thread

[smokie36]

Yeah but if he wants to win the League at White Hart Lane, Wenger's the man to do it. It worked for Sol Campbell, innit?

Everything is big around here mate.....

[wooloomooloo]

Now safe in the knowledge that Bale won't be playing for Spurs again. The injury to his little finger will miraculously heal for his Bernabeu photo opportunity later this week.

Thank God for that.

Oh purlease. Have you not noticed the shiny, world class stadium casting a shadow over your pub league shithole?

[smokie36]

Its just as ineffective as the Millenium Dome.....nice idea but a white elephant....

[Chicog]

It is ineffective if you don't do what you said you'd do with the cash it generates.

I've got one bloke offering me a tiny totts ticket - he paid 210 quid for it and that's from the club!

However, the flight costs are slightly more than that, even though I can get one at half the price in Prawn Sandwich level.

So , finally an acceptance that it's been built at the cost of the team.

Eh?

I think you've just won the "stating the bloody obvious" award for 2013!

That's been the way since 2004. It's only this year, with most of it paid off, doubling of money from the premiership, doubling of money from Emirates and doubling of money from a new shirt sponsor next year that we can now spend some serious money (emphasis on the word "can"!).

Arsenal have at least 150m in CASH to fund purchases. That's what's so frustrating, although I can't think of too many players worth splashing 50m on and it seems most if not all of them are spoken for.

I thought everyone knew that.

To be honest, that's what made knocking the tiny totts out of the top 4 all the more hysterical.

Chicog, no denying you potential spending power, but what is the hold up? It really does seem a case of, 'It's all mine I tell ya, all mine!'

You can't tell me there is no player worth buying? If they are ALL too expensive then that just means the prices have ALL risen, so deal with it and move on.

A snip at £100m I tell ya....

I would think we'd have gone as high as 50m for Suarez, but I think Liverpool are still smarting from the huge loss on Carroll (20m) and Downing (15m) and want more than that - especially as they know Real Madrid might want him, and as we all know they pay stupid money.

Higuain was a deal at 23m until Napoli got 55m for Cavani, and so up his price went to 35m+.

Should we really be paying 12 million quid extra just to compete with them?

I actually don't think so.

But I'm prepared to wait for the end of the window - what else can you do? Buy for the sake of buying, just to keep the fans quiet?

But one thing is for sure: Wenger seems to be happy that he (or perhaps Gazidis) will be able to make some deals by Sept 2nd, but if they don't and the club look like they're going backwards when they had 150m+ in the bank to spend, the black scarves will be sprouting all over the place.

yeah but the clubs always denied its effected transfer funding and have been publicly ANNOUNCING for seasons there has been substantial funds available

and still 'class acts' dont want to join you, even with champions lge footie ,,, joking aside .I wonder if its the old issue of arsenal being tight with wages which goas bac to, well , at least george graham who always always reckoned it was an issue that historically came down from th board , ian wright mentioned it constantly, there is defo something aint right.

don't think Liverpool s issue is the loss on Carroll and downing which no doubts was eased by the saving on wages so much that they know 4 sure without champoins lge footie they're not gonna be able to get another player of suarez class .
