    Im not going to look for you but look at the premiership clubs on who they have paid millions for and look at some of their ages and you will be surprised....Why would anyone want Llorente for instance....There are players older than him playing for the biggest sides...

    I think a good comparison would be money spent/points earned or said value of players, would be interesting and NO I am not going to do it

    That is the same at every club not just ours. So our flash players are no different to any at any club around us

    If we're looking for a CB this guys name come up a few times after Siggy was linked with a move to Spurs.

    He cant get a regular start at Spurs so is looking to move on, he's young, 24 so could be a good catch.

    Didn't he play for Austria against Wales in last years World Cup qualifier and did the ball bounce off his leg to score a home goal for us? Was it this guy??

    Swansea City working on a massive deal to sign this midfield talent: Transfer of the summer?

    Some years back, it was a popular belief that Jack Wilshere was destined for big things. Such perceptions deepened further when the then 19-year-old outclassed European heavyweights, Barcelona, in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over arguably the best side Pep Guardiola ever managed.

    The hype and praise came along as a relatively fresh face orchestrated the North London outfit’s midfield with pace, brutality, power and appealing set of skills. There was undoubtedly something special about the lad which made him a household name across the continent. Such was the impact he had.

    The glimpses of a bold attitude which the Gunners needed during the period when the financial woes were still very much in existence, coupled with the repertoire of his precise short passes, link-up plays and the confidence he showed six years ago was exemplary.

    As a matter of fact, many started to perceive that the Arsenal prodigy would be the face of the English national side few years down the line. Call it the lack of luck or how injuries demeaned him, Wilshere failed to maintain the standards he had set, or to even get somewhere in the vicinity of that.

    Last season, Wilshere was sent on loan to English top tier side, Bournemouth, and it must be underlined that the English international fared pretty well. But considering the plethora of stars in Arsene Wenger’s jam-packed midfield armoury and the quality therein, the 25-year-old might be overlooked.

    To get into the national side for the World Cup, Wilshere must target more game time under his belt, something which would be very hard to attain if he continues to stay at the Emirates Stadium next season and thus, an exit is likely to be on the cards this summer.

    Another MF Pathetic transfer targets by us .......You would think we have the best defense in the premiership..<doh>

    Don't want that sick note anywhere near the club, Montero is bad enough, he's in a different league.

    Not sure but don't think he Is much better than what we have, if he is better. Spurs no doubt would want about 50m for him as they always do.

    From seeing pre season at the moment, it is clear we lack any creativity without Siggy in the side, what we have to create chances clearly isn't good enough. We desperately have to sign some creative players to ensure we at least get a few chances a game, if not we will be dead in the water this season.

    We've agreed a £45m fee for Gylfi and been given permission to speak to Bony by all accounts?

    Let's hope we'll trigger Viera's £30m euro clause then.
