Arsenal

[Sarb]

I read earlier that the record transfer fee they have paid is £15m for Arshavin and that while they have paid ~£12m a few times they have never gone beyond £15m. Is that right?

I don't think they've ever made over £8m up front payment for any transfer

[Pablo]

Yes, I believe so. They paid up to £17m for Reyes with add on clauses, but as he was diabolical I don't think it went anywhere near that.

Keep changing my mind about which London club I dislike most. Last year it was Chelsea. Today, Chelsea is my favourite of the three. I currently dislike Arsenal most... obviously. No love for Spurs though

(also, sorry West Ham, Fulham, QPR, et al.... but I'm sorry to say I don't really care...)

Can't stand Chelsea, spurs do my nut in cos they have somehow managed to sneak ahead of us in recent years and are always linked with players we are after. Not arsed by Arsenal, haven't won anything in years, weakest of the top 4 and the team we are most likely to catch, all this Suarez stuff blowing up in their faces just makes me laugh at them even more.

Clearly my opinion most hinges on player transfers

Hated Chelsea with a passion for the past two years, ever since Torres signed. Pratically cried when they won the Champions League. Hahaha. It was pathetic. It's funny because pre-Torres, I was besotted with this Chelsea fan I was seeing at the time, and they didn't seem all so bad. I'm fickle.

At this point, I don't care. They're not our rivals at all. I don't really fully remember a time when Chelsea wasn't among the top six teams in the league. I was born early 90s, and by mid-90s Chelsea were pretty much in and around fourth place or above. Still though, when they took Torres I loathed them. A bit irrational. I know.

I hated Chelsea when they had Mourinho the first time, and a lot of the players that were ****s Drogba, Terry, Lampard, Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole. But over recent years as some of those have left or not started playing as much and they haven't been winning so much I haven't been so bothered by them. For the last couple of years it has been Spurs that have been annoying me, because of all the hype certain people there get, Harry Redknapp (when he was there), Scott Parker, now Gareth Bale. Arsenal this summer have started to annoy me with all the Suarez stuff, but previously I wasn't that bothered, it just frustrated me a little how they so often got last minute goals to get a win and always managed to scrape through into the top 4.

I hate Chelsea almost as much as united, probably due to being surrounded by the Scroates but their obsession with us is amazing - bin dippers this, murders that.

[Deano]

How the f*** did they get that much for him - gobsmacked - He's sh*t

ervinho signs for Roma from Arsenal in £8m move

Gervinho has joined Italian Serie A side Roma from Arsenal in an £8m deal.
The Ivory Coast international striker, 26, found his first-team opportunities limited at the Emirates last season.
He was signed from Lille by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger in 2011, but managed only four goals in his first campaign before scoring seven last term.
An Arsenal statement read: "Everyone would like to thank Gervinho for his contribution to the club and wish him well for his future career."
The forward has been capped 45 times by the Ivory Coast and represented them at this year's Africa Cup of Nations.
He began his career at the ASEC Abidjan academy in his home country before spells at Beveren in Belgium and Le Mans in France.
But he made his name at Lille, where he won a Ligue 1 and Coupe de France double in 2011.
He is the 13th signing this summer by Roma coach Rudi Garcia, whose side finished sixth in Serie A last season.
