    It's about time the Yanks made a real statement by spending some money on talent...

    Well I don't normally either, but putting Ayew into google comes up with the only sun spouting this, and the star saying what the sun says. Honestly these vermin papers and their so called reporters are beneath contempt.

    If we sell either Siggy or Ayew for under £20 million and before we get in a suitable replacement I think I'll go down the liberty and punch Huw personally.

    I know it's paper talk but journalists are usually tipped off by players to create rumours as a come and get me signal. Because if a player hands in a transfer request they will loose a substantial loyalty bonus.

    The Arsenal chief executive is saying they can't compete financially with the big boys in the transfer market. If they can't then what hope have we got. This is why recruitment and development of our academy players is going to be so important for us now and in the future.

    Money is the real and ultimate power in football not the club, not the champions league and not the football......Football today is way out of control financially where you cant blame them but players look to see how much they can earn today and not the desire to play for a club....like Joe Allen and others. I was brought up watching the swans where most of the team were local lads and the same as other clubs, The game was much fairer where every team was in with a chance of doing well and it was very enjoyable as if your team did well then it was not because of how much money they had......Jimmy Hill was the twat that ruined football by fighting for the players that they can command their own wages and contracts using agents....I remember many people at the time saying this can end up where clubs will be split into those who have and those who have not and the gulf today even between the Big clubs in the premiership and the bottom is massive and is no way fair game any more.....I would love to see a world wide limit a player can earn and i would even say if the top earners were on 10K a week it would be over the top....Money is killing clubs at the bottom of the ladder at the expense of the Elite clubs...

    Though defence is not our biggest priority right now, id love us to make a bid for Fosu-Mensah as he seems to be surplus to requirements at man u, which seems lije utter madness to me.

    Did you fly out with Easyjet? Wouldn't mind going back to Croatia, especially Dubrovnik, it's on my bucket list.......... <cheers>


    No Striker yet, Curtis has come out and said the players and the fans are getting restless, and we need a high profile signing ASAP, especially after missing out on Joe Allen, trouble is Jinx Is flat out on his Prozac couch.

    Would you believe we are being linked with 35 year old veteran Crouch!!! You really couldn't make It up. ........<laugh>

    Google is full of stories on Twitter and press etc about Ayew lads. I'm very worried atm.

    Llorente, Ulloa and Beanpole dont posses enough quality to lead our attack week in, week out imo.

    I'd like to see us go for someone like Javier Hernandez (former Utd striker).

    Gomis has gone at last perhaps now we'll see some movement in the market. It doesn't matter whether the Yanks put money in the kitty for transfers it's still reluctant Huw who will do the business.

    But we've already got rid of Eder, Palo and Grimes and there's been no replacements for them. Can't count Fer as he's Jonjos replacement in the squad.

    Well let's see what happens next, I suspect that the club was waiting to get rid of Gomis, not paying any of his salary is good news.

    AND THEN THERE WERE NONE!....................<laugh>



    Guidolin appears to be frustrated at a lack of incoming players, and the lack of balance between ins and outs. We were starting to look like a decent side at the end of last season, and the board are missing an opportunity, as there's potential with the team under the experienced Italian manager. Not only that, but chairman Huw Jenkins spoke about how they must learn lessons from last season, their pre-season recruitment was poor, and they almost paid the price. So far, it doesn't look like they've learnt their lessons, and we ideally needed new strikers in for the U.S Tour so they could adjust and get to know the team and how we're playing. Lets just hope it's a case of better late than never, your a basket case HUW............<ok>
