Sky Sports understands Arsenal have made an 18 million bid
Fuck yeah, take it !!
No point keeping someone who doesn't want to play for us, and I'd rather he go to Arse than L'Pool.
I get the feeling that Downing is not the sharpest tool in the box, He'll be ok sharing bench time with Walcott.

No - push it up to £20m if both Liverpool and arsenal are interested, if the top offer is £18m and Liverpool drop out then take it but let's try and get more first.

Let's sign N'Zogbia first

We cant afford to mess about.......just say we do and Liverpool get fed up and buy Nzogbia, where does that leave us ??
We will have lost both of our wingers/wide midfielders and our no1 target has gone elsewhere

Bendtner is 23 good in the air, good on the ball and got attitude. Think he is perfect to play with Bent. 15m and Bendtner ? yes please ......
This is Niklas Bendter of Arsenal you are speaking of?


There must be another one. He struts around the pitch chewing gum trying to look hard, when he is just shit - is that the attitude you speak off?

Bendtner is not alone in thinking he is it. But he has confidence and is good in front of goal. He will have good re-sale value and if there was an opportunity to have him i think he could  do well for us .......

We'll have to disagree, he makes a lot of misses before he puts one away. IMO he is terrible.

Nothing to stop Arsenal buying N'Zogbia if Downing went to Liverpool. We have to sign N'Zogbia before we decide where Downing's going.

If I'm correct- it's not a bid then is it ?

FFS Downing, don't wuss about, put a fucking transfer request in.

Modric has really hit out at levy branding him a liar and saying he wants to go but levy told him he would make him sit in the stands- if modric goes I reckon Harry will nab Parker- this is why we should identify our targets and get them rather than dallying about- we may lose out on Parker and nzogbia now.

Defoe is the striker we should buy.

Flog Downing to Spurs for £12m with Hutton and Defoe in return.

Defoe hardly set the world alight last season, he only scored about 2 league goals.

Him and Bent weren't exactly a dynamite combination at Spurs, why would they be here?

What odd phrasing, did they send it in the post?

Not for me, Bent and Defoe didn't work as a pair at Spurs.
