For Cabaye? If so I'd agree.

Yeah. Apparently they are also putting a bid in for Pogba for nearer £20 million.

I think it's a ridiculous target, he's another Arteta / Ramsey / Wilshere / Rosicky type.

10m is a bit much for a 27yr old injury prone midfielder I reckon, especially when they could go for someone who is in the Diaby shape but actually good.

You're right, it isn't the type of player that they need at the moment but 10m is nothing in today's market.

fits them to a tee!

They have let go a lot of fringe players and just not replaced them. Wenger is in his last year as well and I can't see him being offered an extension.

Bid low, advertise it, create unsettlement. I can't see him going for anything less than £20m, thing is, the deal needs to be done sooner rather than later as we need to buy a new midfield, couple of defenders and a striker that strikes.

2 home games coming up, we were never going to beat City (wish I'd put a bet on but I just can't bet against my team).

Oh and Scamp, "yer me new nest marra like".

17 out and 1 in apparently..... That's stacks of cash saved off the wage bill so can't understand his hesitance in the market.

Agreed on the extension, although the fans do seem deluded and the board are making money with his (lucky) top 4 finishes, although I can see him managing that again if his team stays the same. I do wonder who will be the first to go in for Wiltshire tho.... Can be too long before one of the big teams has a pop.

Thinking they may get humped tonight. May be worth a flutter!

What the **** does that mean? :rofl:

I think you should hang on to him, refuse anything up to 15m. Above that it's worth taking.
