25M would be a very good price. I still have my doubts about him actually leaving though.
Surely me must have a replacement lined up! I don't want us "just making do" with what we have if both Nasri and Cesc leave.
In Arsene's mind:
Cesc leaves - no problem we have Ramsey, Wilshere and Song as the preferred middle three with the options of Diaby, Frimpong and Lansbury all to come in there
Nasri leaves - the Ox and Miyachi are wide players. We have strengthened. Gervinho plays wide too.
All sorted - £50m transfer window profit coming up. Reasons for Stan to be cheerful and hopefully Ivan gets a nice bonus too for all his efforts in this "busy window"
Transfer Rumours Thread
I know that's been the policy in recent years but we still had "top" players to fall back on. That's not the case this time so I wonder if the policy will change....SteveO 35 wrote:The "new signing" has already arrived in the form of Miyachi and his work permit.kiwomya wrote:http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011 ... ester-city

The players you list are decent IMO but we would still need 1 or 2 top names with experience. Going to need to fork out the big bucks though and I just can't see us doing it. We seem to love a player for about 12/13M.

To be fair to the guy, I actually didn't see much of Birmingham so I don't know if he's any good or not. I wont judge him until I see him playing for us.rigsby wrote:Great signing. I'ld be genuinely excited about this. The boys class.
And to those slagging it off, 1. Him being injured was the reason for their relegation and 2.Remember both Jagielka and Lescott got relegated with teams. Look at them now.

So are you saying that he is better than cahill and samba then ? It was only at the end of last season when we were being linked with roger johnson and proclaiming him to be the best centre half at the brum
Answer me this rigsby.....do you believe wenger wants to sign him cos he is better than every other available centre back out there or is it cos he see's him as cheap and the best value amongst the 2nd tier of available centre backs ?Johnson is a good Centre Half. I would have happily had him at Arsenal. Both he and Dann were top draw as a partnership.When Dann got injured they were broke up and never recovered.
I don't see a difference between him, Cahill or Samba. I' like Samba, but I've never been overly blown away by Cahill when I've seen him play. I'ld like Dann with someone else in as well, but for 8 million he's a very good buy. I wonder why you don't think he's any good?

It isnt that I dont think that he is any good I just dont think that he is good enough. At present we have a rookie keeper, no defensive midfielder worth talking about and a gung ho tactical plan so for me any centre half signing should be of absolute top quality level to deal with the pressure he is going to play under. From where I am sitting I just dont feel that dann is at or anywhere near that level (although I also feel that way about samba and am not totally convinced by cahill but would prefer him to the other 2 tbh) and I just dont get why we didnt add the 12m ox fee to the 8m dann fee and buy a top quality centre half
Cheap has almost always been the preference for wenger but signing squad level players in this position is continuing to backfire on us year after year imo and that is how I would class dann but I obviously hope I am wrong

I think we all need a boost in terms of a signing.
Yes - we need a central defender but call it selfish I don't want Danns....no matter how good he is.
There's something not BIG about signing a player from a Championship club.
It's not a marquee signing but I'd prefer either Jagkielka or Cahill. I know they're just names but there's a bigger sign of intent buying them two then Dann.
It's like going to Rymans to big a Bic pen, when equally you could buy a Parker from Harrods for much more. Both do exactly the same but it shows what type of person/club you are.
