We've bid 15.2 mil for a player valued at 42 mil. Yes that should do it.
03 Aug 2016 01:51:09
Why is it you disregard positive stories from the media and call it rubbish such as players we want etc but you're so quick to believe negative stories that make us look bad lol. Seen so many people do this.
That being said his Clause is 42 million euros but they're willing to negotiate from what I've heard.
03 Aug 2016 02:49:05
D16 i'm sorry but what positive stories are you on about. There are people on here who just quote the positive and not negative, but I don't get upset with them, I just reply as I see it. Do you mean the positive stories like we are signing higuain or kante or we are going to offer 80 mil for griesman. I talk about the more actual stories, I leave the fantasy to others.
03 Aug 2016 03:06:28
D16 like to think of myself as, I've got my feet on the ground and not the head in the clouds. I am very positive when thereis ssomething to be positive about ie I was one of the few who was realistic and positve over vardy, when people were being negative, it wasnt to be and it wasn't a fantasy story either. I was positive over the signing of rob holding, saying he must be decent he got their player of the year in his first season. But some people go blind when I write that. Funny that. I say what I see and I don't pussyfoot, I don't expect everyone to agree or like what I say but like I say respect opinions good or bad but you don't have to agree.

the ed has said arsenal are the only english side interested in mustafi so far, and reports are they are willing to accept half his release clause which is 50 mill euros to spanish clubs, so putting in a bid of 20mill euros means we are 5 mill euros from agreement. its a lot of money mate. i know it seems like it grows on trees.
people forget fergie used to do the same and not go haywire in the market sneijder was a key example, and he would say there is no value in the market.
yes i get the frustration we all want players, but there is not much we can do, let's just hope the club can do something, we know they are trying to get value for what they buy.
everyone is going crazy over draxler he scored 5 goals last season and has been just about average to command 50 mill fee.
I don't think griezmann will leave, but you never know, he is french and he wanted to join us before joining atletico, it was wenger who made a mistake not to sign him then.
aubameyang has been quiet and who knows maybe we can try and guage interest, dortmund are willing to sell but for a fee, if we get desperate we may have to pony up.
lacazette is known as our last option so if we do sign him then we know that's our striker. PSG have soured relations with Aulas and it means no bidding war, perhaps he may have to bite his tongue and sell him or do what they did at west brom and make the player rot on the bench and devalue their asset.
i think liverpool have been the best example so far of getting value, suarez wanted out they got a profit, sterling wanted out and they got a profit, no point keeping the player, but perhaps not everyone is as smart about money and sometimes their ego causes them to fail in such instances.
no movement on the mahrez front, no movement on a defender but still time and the eds have stated it will get busy soon enough so never say never until its over.
{Ed001's Note - Aubameyang is holding out for Real Madrid.}

Ok perhaps I got you mixed up with someone else I'm not going to go through your posts and replies that'll be singling you out and they'll be personal. It must just be the countless negative things I've seen you post.
That being said I'd just like to clear something with you. Several times I've disagreed with you and you've replied talking about not respecting your opinions or people getting upset with you or ignoring the good things you say. I cannot stress this enough myself and I'm sure many others are not doing those things. You're not some victim you're making it sound like. I'm just trying to have a debate about football that is all. It's not some personal attack or whatever it's sounding like and I'd hate anyone to think that just because I disagree with them often. If it feels that way apologies and just say I'd happily ignore when I see something of yours I don't agree with.

To be fair, Steve calls it as he see's it.
And it is true, we do pretty much always offer half of the asking price, which is why it takes us so long to wrap up deals.
03 Aug 2016 10:21:21
To be honest both D16 and Steve are just saying what they believe and give decent answers in their replies.
It's a pity one can't ask a genuine question with getting attacked.
03 Aug 2016 12:08:10
Banbury who's getting attacked here. I'm certainly not attacking Steve and he isn't attacking me. Let's not make this into something it isn't.
03 Aug 2016 12:20:25
I didn't say you lol
I was praising your decent replies
Read my post again.
03 Aug 2016 12:21:16

I made two comments in one post both totally unrelated
I enjoy your posts.
03 Aug 2016 12:34:01
I didn't attack you Banbury, you simply answered a question you knew the answer to with the intent of some Wenger bashing. Please don't pretend otherwise.
Perhaps you simply need to man up fella. You'll know if I attack you. 😉.
03 Aug 2016 13:08:25
Oh right sorry read that wrong. I just didn't want Steve thinking it's like that because it's not. We both love the club but see some things differently.
03 Aug 2016 13:53:02
Because steve wants to be jack dee that's why, it's sort of cute and the fact that he described himself as 'very positive' in his post above must be a joke like jack dee does. I like most of your posts steve but try and ignore it when you're trying extra hard to come across negative. I'm not sure of your source about the bid we've put in but if it had said we'd put in a high bid you'd instantly dismiss it like I'm dismissing any news of a Mustafi bid full stop until it's officially announced - or if an ed confirms it.
03 Aug 2016 14:03:48
ed if aubameyang is holding out for madrid, does that mean Morata maybe sold? Assuming not many teams are showing an interest in benzema.
{Ed001's Note - both Morata and Benzema are available for transfer.}

Attack away boy I won't lose sleep
I've asked you a question you haven't answered, why do we have injuries, training methods, diet, minutes played, not warming up enough .
I don't know the answer, you clearly do.
It clearly can't be TFI unless he's the chef as well
Must get back to my skateboarding, only 5 weeks of the holidays left
Cheers.
03 Aug 2016 15:16:55
Banbury the injuries have been discussed countless times, the blame has clearly been laid at Wengers feet, we all know that, you of all people know that. His training methods have been questioned and stated as outdated.
You clearly listened to the same thing on Talk 5h1te as I did just prior to your response and question.
But you feel free to continue to be childish about, as usual. 🙄.
03 Aug 2016 16:53:25
Wow just been to bed and got up and you guys have been having a ball. Have we signed mustafi and mahrez yet.
03 Aug 2016 18:42:52
Geez shut up Steve 👊ðŸ»
Kidding of course 😊.
03 Aug 2016 19:52:48
Blimey. What an entertaining day it's been.
