Motherfucker we didn't want to sell our best players to them but we ended up doing so, so how about having the balls and doing something about it rather than sitting back and saying "oh they don't want to sell so that's that.
Every player is for sale at the right price. But easy to hide behind the "they don't want to sell" if you are not willing to pay their asking price....

I don't believe that a Spanish club - even Barca - could resist a decent offer for a fringe player given the current state of the Spanish economy!!
Very true mate. I'm honestly losing patience with Wenger fast....

I've got the DVD of this transfer window. I've seen it loads of times. I'll let you into a secret about the ending if you really want. In the last scene, the other clubs buy loads of players but we don't. Then mentalist Wenger comes out and claims it is satanic (or some other rubbish) of other clubs to buy players and that God will damn them to years in hell. Everybody laughs at him, the media have a field day with Arsenal in crisis headlines when we lose the next 20 games but he still stays in charge to do it all again in July and next January.

Great point made on Radio earlier - we have sold loads of players to Barcelona...some supposedly not for sale, but then the money talks. Should we not have the balls/leverage/negotiating skills now with them to say ''ok we want Villa now as you clearly don't anymore'' ? Clearly not!! If he goes to another premiership club then I hope an even bigger shit storm envelops AW and all the rest of the useless cronies as will expose even more lies,bullshit and spin

Been clear for a while now that we lack ambition to go for the title, so why would we spend in this transfer window?

We need to spend just to stay above the scum, mind you that means nothing to arsenal anymore. We have more money than them and that's all that matters :cry:

This actually wouldn't surprise me, and I don't think we have bid on players just to say arsene tried, I honestly don't think anyone decent wants to come to us sadly

He bid £50 for Messi, £35 for Ronaldo and a tenner for Neymar. "We worked very hard on trying to bring the right players to the club but in the end, their clubs wanted ridiculous money. We made bids that we thought were sensible and realistic."

To be expected, maybe villa is being used as a smokescreen tho.
