If I appear not to be posting much on these type of threads there is a very good reason.

I've fucking had enough of being linked with every fucking player in Europe and waiting weeks for fuck all to happen. I have taken a decision that I shall not read any thread relating to possible targets/speculation etc.
I shall only bother once I see a thread entitled

"Player X has signed 100% for certain without any doubt whatsoever and the official site says it is true and his signature has been seen being written in his own blood by somebody within the club and not some internet rumour monger or fleet street hack".

At that point I am prepared to read it and might even comment.

Oh yeah, and regarding players that want to hold out in case they have a good Euro 2008 and get better offers, well they can just fuck off regardless of who they are.

Rant over

I'm not sure we'd be able to fit that title in the space available Spudmasher.

Would 'Arsenal.com Confirm Signing' do?

Arsenal snub for Argentinian
by Laurent Picard, 03 June 2008, Setanta Sports

Lautaro Acosta, who was transferred to Sevilla for Â£5 million last week, claims that he refused to join Arsenal.

The ex-Atletico Lanus star has been presented as Sevillaâ€™s first summer signing and he revealed during one of his first interviews that moving to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan outfit was his top priority.

The 20-year-old has revealed that Arsene Wenger tried to sign him, but the Argentina Under-20 world champion snubbed the proposition.

The attacking midfielder is a Primera Liga fan and he has explained that playing for The Gunners does not attract him.

"It's my dream to go to Spain and join a team who my idol, Maradona, played for,â€

Man utd have all but signed Ramsey, even man utd have announced it as he's in manchester negotiating a contract, can't see him driving down to london to negotiate with us after. With the limited transfer funds we have does anyone want us to spend 5-6mil on a 17year old that won't even play, we've got enough reserve team players
