Wenger will add nobody to our load of *word censored* pussies.

The Gunners had a bid of Â£10 million â€“ made up of a Â£5 million downpayment and a number of performance-related add-ons â€“ rejected by Southampton last week.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is being lined up as a replacement for Nicklas Bendtner (PA)

Saints chairman Nicola Cortese said the club wants a bigger fee up front, as well as insisting on a hefty sell-on clause.

This is what annoys me most about our football club! When buying why do we never offer the going rate? It's embarrassing..We used to be seen as A BIG CLUB,sadly those days are disappearing FAST..P P

I heard Tom Watt on the radio 2 weeks ago he was saying Wenger will only pay what he thinks a player is worth

he went on to say what a brilliant way of thinking that is

What a pair of *word censored* Wenger and Watt are

I read or heard somewhere that Dein and Wenger both wrote down what they believed to be a correct fee for a player. Wenger judged a lower fee and Dein a couple of million over Wengers.

Can't remember what happened but I'd like to believe they met in the middle and that was the bid.

No it isnt.

My understanding of bidding is : we have a price - they have a price and you meet somewhere in the middle...... NOT we have a price take it or leave it

We want Â£40m for Cesc yes!.A very fair price!. We have told Barca not a penny less will be accepted,many times apparently. Juan Mata was for sale for Â£20ish million apparently. We offer Â£13 million

That isn't bidding! that is taking the piss out of us and everyone else!

Just to get your hopes up.

Germany defender Per Mertesacker has admitted he fancies a move to the Premier League.

The 26-year-old Werder Bremen player has long been linked with a move to Arsenal, who are in the hunt for a new centre-back.

"For a national player it is a good thing to get experience of playing abroad," Mertesacker said in the Bild newspaper.

"I have said that England excites me."

Mertesacker, who is a regular in Joachim Low's Germany team, can leave Bremen on a free next summer so they may be tempted to cash in on one of their most highly-rated players in the current transfer window.

Sporting director Klaus Allofs said: "Should Per say that he wants to try something different and it is interesting for us, then we will sit down together. We have enough defenders."

Arsenal are on the look-out for defensive reinforcements and have also been linked with Bolton's Gary Cahill and Everton's Phil Jagielka.

Wenger would have been slaughtered for buying another youngster.

Surely this means either Drogba, Anelka or Sturridge are available.
