Arsenals buying proceedures

saints fan here, not wumming but thought this article may bring a smile to some faces. Both our clubs have chairmen that outsiders may call cold, hard nosed or unwilling to back down, but I belive both sets of fans have full faith it thier chairmen, unlike Arsenal.

If that part about the clause in O-C's contract is true, then that's ridiculous.
They're in desperate need of someone to run their transfers. I started a thread about it over on their board, as it's plain to see, but wasn't being mentioned.

 

so, in theory if he played 80mins in every prem game (unlikely i know as he is injured) then Saints get £1.5m? Is that over the duration of his contract?

Thats insane

 

One out of three in the case of Walcott...

 

I've got 2 for crying out loud.
I can't even kick.

 

Unbelievable Jeff

 

Its a shame that the deal for Bale was done by our previous chairman, we had a big sell on but traded it for cash up front and for Tommy Forcast, who we have just got off our books after being paid for 3 years and not playing a single minute. To be fair we were royally up the **** and Bale never wanted to leave but we had to sell. We never wanted to sell Oxo but his twat of a dad turned his head, so we had Arse over a barrel.

 

yeah, that was a bad choice, especially with hindsight.

 

I remember that. Great days, now, though, huh? I've got you down as my surprise team this year, and think you can break into the top 8 (or 10...).

 

We are living the dream
