Hope it is done soon, Brazil's transfer window closes on the 20th I think. Also read that Joel Campbell's 2nd loan spell at Betis might be in doubt because we have priced them out with a £900K loan fee slapped on him after he impressed there last season. Would be a shame, but on the other hand I think his next loan should be to a Championship or lower PL club to help him adjust to the pace of English football.
Agree with that, I'd like to see Campbell play some football in England, has he got a permit though yet ?
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8819092/? The Bendtner to Eintracht Frankfurt move is now officially off. Bendtner really is throwing his career down the drain.
Kudos to Wenger for his work rate on the matter. Sometimes you can put all the work in and a third party derails it all
Wanyama off to Soton at last: If they were indeed the most ambitious club to come in for him then it suggest the other options weren't UCL teams. 'Ambitions' could be code for 'highest paying', of course...
Deal off because Bendtner wouldn't agree to the wages Who is he kidding ? the bloke needs to eat a massive slice of humble pie and get on playing football instead of believing he is some kind of Demigod
It's a bit tragic, really. Oh well, it looks like we just have to wait until his contract ends (2014) to finally wave him goodbye.
Good to see the recognition for Wenger in this (even though the deal fell through) because he gets a lot of unfair stick from some quarters on transfers, when in fact he is probably one of better people to do business with
Because he's too soft when it comes to sales. 24 million for Judas is still a crime. A player of his ability should have been sold for 35 million at least. And don't get me started on Fabregas.
There's still time for him to find a club this summer, but his wage demands on this deal seem to be a disappointing factor in his stubborness to realise that he isn't worth what he thinks he is.
Good luck to him finding a club of Frankfurt's stature and resources after another year of obscurity. It's hard to understand his logic.
here we go again. The issue about RVP and Fabregas has been done to death. Both wanted out and therefore compromised our negotiating stance, not really anything else to add to this to be honest.
Even if the compensation was the equivalent of his loss of earnings it would make as much sense, though as Piskers says there's still a chance to sell him and get money from the deal.
Had the game of his life against Barca, but was never sure about him. Looked really clumsy on the ball for a start.
But he'll just keep refusing to move, because of the wages he's on. Nobody will be stupid enough to match his current pay, because he's not worth 50k a week.
