Reyes

[El Diego]

I have read that he is being valued at 8 million, what a rapid decline for him didn't they buy him for 15 million or so.

I think it would only get up to 15m with certain clasues.....appearances, trophies etc..
Bit like that Walcott young fella..

Reyes has been a big disappointment. He'll be back in spain sooner rather than later.

By the way - welcome McDermotx!

Reyes heading to Madrid...Baptista +2mill going to Arse!


from skysports:

Jose Antonio Reyes is set to end his spell with Arsenal by joining Real Madrid.

It is being claimed that The Gunners have struck a deal with the Spanish giants that sees them secure Julio Baptista and €3 million (£2 million).

Reyes, formerly of Sevilla, has made no secret of his desire to return to La Liga and is now appears his wish is set to be fulfilled.

The 22-year-old made a bright start to his early career with a number of spectacular goals, although he failed to really settle in London.

Baptista, who joined Real for £13.8 million last summer from Sevilla, has failed to make his mark at El Santiago Bernabeu.

Now with Fabio Capello in charge of the Galacticos, the Italian tactician is keen to free up a non-EU place in his squad by allowed Baptista to leave.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been chasing Baptista for over a year after originally trying to bring him to The Premiership prior to his Real switch.

Spurs were keen on the Brazilian, however, they were rejected by The Beast who is now set for Arsenal with Reyes poised to move in the opposite direction.

Good deal for Arsenal. As is Gallas and money for Cole.

Interesting.

[El Diego]

I think he will be a waste

[Slim]

He's was far too lightweight for the Premiership. And as for his gurning about going home to Spain???? Christ, you'd think he was being kept in a prison cell rather than being paid £60k a week to play for Arsenal. What a nightmare it must have been for him...the big girl's blouse!

I heard when he first moved over him and his family had the thermostat in their house set to 35 degrees!!! Just so they felt they were still in Seville! :D

Tis bloody hot in Seville though!
