    That's another player in a long list of Utd targets that has declined to join you.

    Do you think that you'll ever be able to attract top players again ? I know Herrera and Shaw joined you recently, but they aren't the world beaters that Fergie used to enjoy falling over themselves to join Utd.

    I think Van Gaal will make a difference, you obviously suffered with Moyes and the reputation of Utd dropped with them not qualifying for the CL, but how long will it take for players to want to choose Utd over City, Chelsea and Arsenal ?

    Why is that 'rich' ? It's not wumming so climb down of your tiny horse. Surely you must be just a little bit concerned at the amount of players who have turned down Utd, given that it was almost a given in the past that any player Utd were interested in, they were almost guaranteed to sign.

    As a Gooner, we never should have sold him to you. I'm glad we've learned with the Vermaelen deal.

    You wish, I'm asking a genuine question, which you seem to want to avoid. I've given my opinion on RVP, we should never have sold him to you, that was one of the biggest mistakes we made. It has been proven today that we will never do that again.

    So, are you at all concerned with the amount of your targets that have been missed ?

    It was inevitable that Vermaelen should end up at the Camp Nou. Arsenal have been Barca's feeder club for the past 15 years.

    They've given us 135m for players that gave their best years to Arsenal - Fabregas being the exclusion. Barca have helped to pay for over a third of our new stadium <ok>

    Van Persie was just one of a mass exodus of Arse players who decided on pastures new. Cashley Cole, Fabrigas, Nasri, Adebayor.

    so go and WUM the Spurs board, its more your level

    That's great. Sell a player a season to them for the next 30 years and you'll see the stadium paid off and can challenge for the title again.

    Grow up mate.

    We're not talking about Arsenal here, we're talking about Utd and their transfer targets. I can only presume by your infantile responses so far that you're fairly happy with the situation <ok>

    Care to elaborate on this bit, not players the papers have linked us to just players we have made a genuin bid for and the player (not his club) said no.

    Well it's always difficult to discern actual bids as opposed to actual interest, as much of it is just rumour until the club confirms it -but players like:

    Thiago
    Robben
    Di Maria
    Kroos
    Fabregas
    Baines
    Hummels
    Muller
    Vermaelen

    Actual admitted interest, Vermaelen the club said no, Baines the club said no, Fabregas not sure about but at the time i think Barca said no sale, Hummels not yet confirmed if interested or if he will move but at the moment Dortmund don`t want to sell anyone.
    The rest are just rumours.

    How many years did Van Persie try to win a medal at Arse?

    One, just One at United, and a premier league medal. Now be a good little pixie and go and see if the fairies are still at the bottom of the garden. Either that, or give up smoking the weeds that grow there

    So how many medals do you get these days for a non mortgaged stadium?
