Summer transfer rumours, speculation and out-and-out b*ll*cks.

[Villanation]

This next one is really rumour, ludicrousness and heresy and the rumour mill gone stark raving mad................so hear goes.

customer of mine, and I would say we are always winding each other up, however I can tell the difference when and when not, is saying.............

Arsenal have tabled a bid for Gabriel Agbonlahor to the tune of 16ML + a player, load of b*ll*ks, has to be, but you heard it here first if true.


he is an avid Gooner...................

funny.

True though, he was actually prepared to bet, if you knew the fella you'd know him and money don't part company easy.

yesterday the rumour was arsenal were linked to bent for around £25m, can see that as far more likely than offering £16m for gabby , newcastle were linked with him in january with a fee widely quoted by their forums at about £5m- no way would gabby be worth £16M plus a player , and if arsene bid £6m for cahill id expect him to offer nearer £4m for gabby-although it seems bendtner is in advanced talks with someone.

In the last few days we've lost/losing Makoun, Young and Beye all of which are on say £45k per week, plus Weimann and Hogg on say £10k. That's approximately £140-160k per week. That could get us one proper Milner-esque quality player and one or two Hutton-esque players.

I doubt we'll be losing Beye until the day his contract expires. I also doubt that Weimann and Hogg are on 10k a  week, and in any case we'll probably be paying a fair chunk of their wages

Hogg's moved on a permanent deal apparently - so I wouldn't have thought we were paying any of his wages anymore.

Sorry, I was thinking it was a loan.

There was no rumour at all.

It was people on here speculating about values of players. Nothing more.

Wenger offered 15ML for Agbonlahor about 2/ 3 seasons ago and is a big fan of his.....

Villa whipped Beye away from Hull after they had agreed a fee with Newcastle. What a shame Hull were not more determined.

a guy posted on saturday night that he had heard from a so called itk that arsenal had made a bid for bent - that counts as a rumour to me and there was quite a bit of discussion on it.

If arsenal want gabby and offer £8m plus bentner i would snatch their hand off.

This was the previous rumour that turned out to be inflated, the bid was actually 15ML

I know ne hasn't been in the job that long, but I was hoping that Arthur Numan would have come up with some gems for us from the Erdevise. I was also hoping he'd try and persude AMc or Randy to get Leroy Fer in from Feyenoord, similar to Sissoko from Toulouse in that Vierra mould. Into the last year of his current contract and not looking like he's going to sign a new one. Shouldn't be too expensive and wages will be relatively low.

See I think that is the kind of player we should be looking at signing. How many times have we seen clubs find good and young defensive midfielders easily and cheaply from lesser leagues. See Diame, N'Zonzi, Tiote and Mulumbu for examples of that.

Bentner is woeful. I know we are short on numbers but we're not that desperate .

Someone on VT just said that we were mentioned on Dutch TV yesterday as one of the clubs interested in him.
