    I'd just like to say that if Suarez joins Arsenal it will be as controversial as Stewart Downing leaving Aston Villa for Liverpoool.

    SD,

    Totally agree on Jennings. Selling him to Arsenal was/is one of the biggest mistakes Spurs have ever made.

    Judas on the other hand....

    Gazidis should also take the blame for us missing out on Ruud Gullit <grr>

    a fairly controversial transfer may just be in the pipeline right now.

    I realize that it may seem that way, and I wouldn't expect a United fan to believe or understand, but we lived through Fabregas leaving for Barcelona. Nothing is ever 100% but if Fabregas did not love Arsenal and feel torn when he left, he should be an actor, not a footballer. I think most Arsenal fans are reasonably confident that he will be good to his word and if he does leave Barcelona it will be for Arsenal.

    This may be one of those situations where United arrogance will hurt them, but as I said in another thread, I don't think that Moyes and United are that stupid. I think he really wants Fellaini and this is designed to clear Arsenal out of that race.

    You had no say in Campbell joining Arsenal, although you could argue that Spurs made a mistake in being **** and thereby losing their captain, who went on to become one of Arsenal's most decorated defenders <ok>

    I didn't call him URIne <ok>
    I have no intention of getting into a debate with you so if you wish to start arguments I would kindly ask you to **** off from the Arsenal board

    Difference is that the board/ manager sold Jennings who had 4/5 seasons with yourselves.
    Judas played the board and club before walking out.

    Not doubting that he went on to do well for you and won trophies etc. But it was the way he led us on then walked.

    I'd be ****ed off for sure if the boot was on the other foot. The fact that he left a floundering spurs side to win major honours at Arsenal though makes it that much sweeter for us <ok>

    If Cesc goes to Manure, it will be one of the most controversial transfers ever.

    Surely he wouldn't do that to us ?!
