SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

[I Hate Hleb]

Wenger went three months without spending a penny.

got to admire his mental strength and bladder control.

Quality gag that Henry (although g88ner and Chippy probably won't find it funny at all!!! )

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

I actually rated Ireland - thought he could be a Ljungbergesque player. Engine, movement and goals.
Was totally wrong about that!

Aaaaah that explains you learning the lingo

[clockender1]

you can forget Gourcuff as well - french press say he is on EU400,000 a week . that's GBP330k a week.

madness.

Lyon are actually looking to amortise his 5 year contract over 8 years, to make it do able for someone to share his wages

Bloody hell and there was me thinking I won't have a pop at IHH for the absolutely rank puns he's been stinking the place out with over the last few days!

That's a quality joke, Henry (Hlebby, take notes - I also think you'd appreciate my joke on the Finland thread aswell )

According to ESPN, he's getting €400,000 (£350,000) a month not a week:

Why would anyone pay a player like Gourcuff £18m a year? That's the kind of money the likes of Messi and Ronaldo are on. You also have to consider the fact that Lyon aren't rich:

Yeah I thought that salary seemed eye-watering!

Lyon are bitching as PSG & Monaco (with their obscene tax breaks) have left them for dust after years of Lyon smacking everyone.

Good job FFP will soon be here to curb ridiculous spending, imagine if these clubs were allowed to spunk £50m each on a new striker. . . oh, wait a sec...

"Unhappy Danish striker Bendtner has asked Arsenal to allow him a free transfer, as his £52,000-a-week wages are proving to be a major stumbling block."

Unless Bendtner actually wants us to pay off the rest of the contract, that doesn't make any sense. And if that is the case, Nik's greed is the stumbling block not the actual wages

[highburyJD]

who the boss is? Serious question?
Don't think anybody seriously thinks it's Ivan...

That's the problem though mate innit?

Wanger is accountable to Kroenke only, Gazidis is just a PR mouthpiece so Wangs can do as he pleases as long as we scrape into the cash league

What a very strange football club we've become.

Eto'o interested in moving to Chelsea, he'll cost around £5m:

If Eto'o does move, I think he'll flop just like Shevchenko and Torres.
