    How can that be true, apparently Gustavo to Wolfsburg was "old" news?

    Hi Roo. I'm not meaning to come over all pedantic, but could you list these players that Arsenal FC have publicly stated they are trying to buy and have missed?

    Pretty sure PISSKIE, Arsenal's 'unofficial mouthpiece' confirmed that there was interest.

    Much in the same way that the whole Bale saga spiralled out from Marca, Madrid's 'unofficial mouthpiece'.

    If we've been victims of it you can be too.

  5. Are you sure you're referring to the correct orifice, YV. I had him down as something different.

    Pathetic!

    I can only hope Roo replies without joining you in your sad little attempt to derail this into yet another attack on Piskie.

    Calm down dear.

    Gustavo was widely reported the other day, including the bbc.
    Its not a secret you've bid for Suarez.

    What other ones has Roo mentioned?

    We have officially bid for Suarez, but haven't missed out on him as there is still a few weeks of the window left.

    The point of my query was to highlight the fact that we hear all this gossip and hearsay so often that it often becomes accepted as fact, when it usually isn't.

    As for my calming down, I was just a bit pissed off to see not606's biggest cry baby doing the exact same thing he prattles on about all the bleeding time. He pokes away endlessly and then runs off crying for mummy when he gets poked back. That's pathetic.

    I think Liverpool were so pissed off at your +£1 bid that we can safely rule out that particular purchase. And Higuain of course.

    Roo isn't WUMming, he is genuinely wondering why your transfers aren't coming off, he's been wondering about it for a few days/weeks now.

    Bloody hell Roo's got a spokesman now. <laugh>


    It is thought that Roo will be in further discussions this week but he would not be drawn on Bale.

    I don't for a second think Roo is wumming. I just wanted to clarify the difference between rumour & fact. I ask again, what transfers haven't come off?

    Suarez can be deemed most unlikely, but not a missed opportunity - yet.
    How much did we bid for Higuain?
     
    #13656


  17. That's the whole point!
    <doh>

    You missed your opportunity to buy the player because you didn't bid.

    You do understand how transfers work, right?

    Obviously no one knows how much you bid for him, because that sort of thing isn't released into the public domain generally, and it's bad etiquette to talk about other clubs' players in such a way. It doesn't mean you didn't bid for him. The majority of Arsenal fans accept that Arsenal wanted him, and spoke to him, before he moved to Napoli because Arsenal couldn't agree a fee. This is why he was booed so ungraciously at the Emirates Cup...

    Do you really think you weren't in for him? That would be a bit like us saying Real aren't interested in Bale.
    I don't know how much you bid, probably nobody on here did, or whether you did, but i'd put money on him being one of your targets

    I want the club to buy Messi. If we fail to buy him would that also equate to the club missing an opportunity?

    I now see what they mean when they talk down to you :emoticon-0138-think You are clearly missing a few cells up top 'Mr Solicitor who went to an imaginary school in Tottenham'. <whistle>
