Wenger said that he would only sign someone special, it must have been Arshavin as thats the only solid signing we have been linked with.

Fiszman said that the money was there if Arsene wanted someone, when Fiszman was challenged about a player costing 30 mil, he reiterated that the money was there.

Depressing!!

Tottenham are planning a cheeky bid to sign Andrei Arshavin after his move to Arsenal broke down this morning.

If successful it would be a major coup for Spurs and would be a sensational move resembling Emmanuel Petit's decision to join the Gunners rather than Tottenham from Monaco 12 years ago.

Arsenal officials have baulked at having to fork out Zenit St Petersburg's demands for the £15m fee to be paid in one lump sum.

But Tottenham, who were close to capturing the left-sided attacking midfielder in the summer, could fund the move by selling Darren Bent to Sunderland for around £12m.

Arshavin is at a Hertfordshire hotel waiting for news but when he answers his mobile it may be sending him to the white half of North London - not that he will be able to tell the difference in these snow covered times.

The Lilywhites will be major players in today's dealings but they won't follow up their interest in taking Robbie Keane back to White Hart Lane if Jermain Defoe's foot injury is not as bad as first thought.

If the former Portsmouth striker is only ruled out for three weeks, the plug will be pulled on Keane's £15m switch.

Tottenham also insist Aaron Lennon will not be heading in the opposite direction.

If a deal does go ahead it will be on cash only terms and at a severe discount from the £20m Liverpool splashed out in the summer.

Harry Redknapp will make a late bid to sign Reading's Stephen Hunt as the Irishman has a £5m get-out clause in his contract and may even try for Royals striker Kevin Doyle.

And Real Madrid's Javier Saviola has been offered on loan to the Londoners, who have also been linked with Inter teenager Mario Balotelli.

Greek striker Theofanis Gekas has joined Portsmouth from Bayer Leverkusen on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent switch.

The Greece international joined Leverkusen after a spell at VfL Bochum and scored 11 goals in 29 appearances in his first season there.

Pompey, meanwhile, have rejected a £2m bid for Sean Davis from Bolton but are bracing themselves for a fresh bid.

Wanderers boss Gary Megson was prepared to offer the midfielder a three-and-a-half-year deal to move to the Reebok Stadium.

Megson is also interested in Rangers midfielder Pedro Mendes and is trying to revive his efforts to sign Miguel Veloso from Sporting Lisbon.

Can you imagine Chelsea going through a transfer window without making a significant signing? It may well happen although they have been linked with a move for Robinho with Didier Drogba, centre-half Alex plus £20m heading to Manchester City.

Italy and Roma defender Christian Panucci, 35, is on the verge of signing for Hull while Fulham hope to tie up a move for Inter Milan midfielder Olivier Dacourt and sign their former Brian McBride on loan from Chicago Fire in the MLS.

Celtic are keen to take West Brom left-back Marek Cech, who is also being trailed by Cologne and Napoli, on loan while Wolves boss Mick McCarthy will plead with Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari to loan him defender Michael Mancienne for the rest of the season.

Dropping down a division and Billy Davies has made a £400,000 bid for Norwich winger Lee Croft and the Nottingham Forest boss is also out to land Blackburn keeper Mark Bunn on loan.

This is the last straw. If we weren't a laughing stock before we sure are now. If it's fallen thru cos of our penny pinching again, just like Alonso, then I am gobsmacked.

reading off gooner talk it says, on the fifa website it has all the agents telephone numbers so i thought why not give arsahvins agent a call, dennis lachter. Surprisingly he answered, he said clubs cant agree transfer fee and personal terms. i said any chances of it happening later he said you are very optimistic, doesnt speak great english and line wasnt very good but i can assure you i aint lying to you.

I thought that had already been agreed??? :?

I mean as far as Zenit are concerned if you get 15M for a player and you get 12M of it up front then that's pretty good, unless of course the only reason you dropped your original asking price was on the understanding that it was all paid up front :?:
