As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Where does all this stuff come from ?... because it doesn't make any sense...
Surely you put an offer in for a player and then the two clubs negotiate and agree on a fee... then you talk to the player about personal terms...not the other way around...
Apparently it's more like we bid, everton said no, arteta heard and asked for the move, Everton resigned to losing the player, personal terms not going to be much of an issue.

Arteta situation is already well advanced + will have NO bearing on Benayoun. That deal is still very much ON as well #bbcfootball #afc #cfc
