Arsenal fanfic continues with Spanish papers reporting Wenger apparently wants to put in a bid for Sergio Bisquick from Barcelona.

Delighted as I'd be to see my favorite DM come and dive for the Gunners, there's zero chance Barca will give him up.

Swansea City have told Crystal Palace Ashley Williams is not for sale after the Eagles attempted to lure the Wales star away from the Liberty Stadium.

Palace boss Alan Pardew has been linked for some time with a £10m-plus summer move for skipper Williams as he bids to boost his squad at Selhurst Park ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

And it is thought he has made enquiries about securing a deal for the 30-year-old to partner Scott Dann at centre-back

Ash must be gutted lol.

About 5 million. Not sure what the point was, I guess Azpi at RB but Ivanovich was good so he played LB and Luis couldn't crack the squad.

He was a Prem player up until a few months ago, but regardless thats what Championship players go for these days. Tyrone Mings went for £8m and he's never played in the Prem, Ross McCormack went for £14m to another Championship side, Jordan Rhodes being talked up for a £13m move.

LVG only wants top class, he says. Maybe we'll get one next summer. I'm not too bothered. It's not like we have a serious chance of winning the league or the CL this season. I'll be happy with 3rd. :shobon:

City built a good defense (up until last season) with cheap players like Zabaleta, Clichy and Kompany. Chelsea did the same with Ivanovic, Cahill and Azpilicueta. Arsenal looked good despite a bad GK with bargains like Kosc, Per, Debuchy and Gibbs.

Why can't LVG and Man Utd do the same?

Even if the fans are happy the Glazers won't be, they haven't generously and benevolently assembled the world's most expensive football team to claim 3rd place. Their extraordinary patience with Van Gaal can't last forever.

Rangers died, shoujo Hitler cried ;_;
Hibs have just released a statement that they won't sell Scott Allan to Rangers despite him handing in a transfer request and would rather let him run down 6 months on his contract in the reserves - despite him being the PFA Young Player of the season in Scotland last year - because Alan Stubbs is throwing a paddy.

quote:

In the face of continued media interest, Hibernian Football Club can confirm that Scott Allan has today handed in a written transfer request.

This comes on the back of two unwelcome and uninvited approaches from Rangers FC regarding Scott, the first for £175,000 and the second for £225,000.

Hibernian FC has refused both bids because the Club has no wish to transfer a valuable player to strengthen a major rival in the battle to win the Championship and gain promotion to the Premiership.

Hibernian’s position has not changed. The player will not be sold to Rangers.

'unwelcome bids' have no place in negotiating the sale of players in football. :lol:

I wouldn't be worried about United's defence if their best players stay fit and in the team.

Unfortunately they will get injured and, no joke, Van Gaal has started with Blind at centre back in every pre-season game so far.

Why can't LVG and Man Utd do the same?

I don't know, maybe it's really difficult. If City could have done that last summer they wouldn't have wasted £42m on Mangala. Utd did it with Vidic and Evra but that was almost 10 years ago. Darmian looks like good value in today's market. Smalling cost something like £6m rising to £10m so he was a pretty good buy.

But if you're going to win the title you need something that almost guarantees a better defense than Utd currently have. Would Otamendi provide that, or would he be a very expensive gamble?

His inflexible insistence on playing a left footed defender in the left CB position is the kind of nonsense that reminds me of the suspicions I had 6 months ago about LVG stumbling into a winning formula through injuries and trial and error. :eng99: Blind has looked alright in pre-season but we all know he would be dominated in the air in the PL.
