Arsenal

[dww]

aren't Arteta/Wilshere and diaby injury prone?

plus ramsay is ****

Ramsay has never really recovered from his leg break has he? Still, on occasion he shows glimpses of real class. I think he suffers from playing deeper. Something that sometimes affects Wilshere too.

I don't think it's anything to do with him not been fully recovered, it's just that he is not a very good footballer

PSG have put a bid in for Cabaye according to the Indy.

5m more than Arsene offered they reckon.

[john316]

I'm sure John Cross still expects him to sign for Arsenal despite the other offer....

[Vermilion]

Injured Ox just tweeted that he'll do his best to get back hopefully in 3 months.

ouch!

The club had earlier said he'd be out for 6 weeks.

[danperkins]

Once your up against PSG in the transfer market.. you pretty ****ed.... especially if your Arsenal!

[Vermilion]

I hate this ****, today it's Arsenal, but we are being ****ed over too. This injection of false wealth, masses of money blatantly not earned by the respective clubs now owned by rich ******s; has totally skewed the football landscape for ever. It's ****!

even more important than ever that we build from solid foundations rather than go out spunking big dough and living on the edge. good players who will play their balls out will see us through. superstar prima donna's will just milk us then want a move.

30m for a left winger. the world has gone mad.

[Darkon]

The world went mad when a guy kicking a leather ball around for a living started earning gazzilions more than the people actually contributing to everyday society

Wenger's new signings

Arsenal revealed to be paying Southampton £10,000 every time Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain plays 20 minutes or more

But Arsene Wenger will have woken up this morning to see that things have just got worse. Details of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s contract have been revealed by the Daily Mail, showing that Arsenal must pay his former club Southampton £10,000 each time he plays for 20 minutes or more.

Take a look at his appearances last season – he featured predominantly from the bench despite supporters calls for him to feature in the starting line-up – and a trend is seen to develop.

Having made 33 appearances for the Gunners last season, Oxlade-Chamberlain was on the pitch for 20 minutes or less 13 times, with the majority seeing him introduced around the 71st minute. It appears that the clause was certainly in Wenger’s mind during games and having an impact on when to play the midfielder – giving him less than 20 minutes in a 90 minute game is hardly allowing the 20-year-old to have a major impact.

But Wenger, ever keen to remain financially aware of everything that happens at his club, had not accounted for stoppage time, something which Saints had picked up on.

When they demanded that Arsenal pay for these appearances, the Gunners had no option but to cough up, meaning that the north Londoners will have paid over £200,000 in additional payments to the south coast side for last season alone.

Oxlade-Chamberlain already cost the club a rather hefty £12m when he was just 17 years of age – more than the £9.1m the two clubs agreed on for his team-mate Theo Walcott – and when you add-on the season before last, another £180,000 will have been paid to Saints for his time in the red and white of Arsenal.

Thats gold.

Serves the tight arse ******* right.

Though it is somewhat disturbing they'd treat a young player like that over whats basically pennies in the grand scheme of multi million dollar contracts.

[dww]

To be fair hasn't Wenger always been a man to make late substitutions? I suspect this is the Mail finding something to kick Wenger while he is down.

[RedReet]

I also found the story a bit far fetched.
