There is a chance that the payments will be made over 3 years, and that 3 years is not the term of the contract.

A turd that Arsenal shat out I'm afraid. We gave him those wages, and if he's a player who would rather be collecting money than playing football, there's nothing we can do.
Is there not a way you could terminate him on the cheap relating to his criminal conviction this year? I swear most people risk losing their jobs over drink driving charges...
The risk you take giving some players too much too early. He wasn't the only problem we had, others include the wonderful Denilson. I still to this day have my doubts if he was Brazilian!

If we've allowed Coq to leave, then we must be signing a CM/DM because we're getting quite thin around that area now.
Then again though, this is us, so anything could happen.
The fact we bid for Bender and allowed Coquelin to go out on loan pretty proves that Wenger is after a Top Class DM/CM.
I really think we need 2 DMs. Over the years we have let go of Diarra, Gilberto, Flamini, Denilson, Song, Coquelin (Diaby is also a write off). Who have we brought in to replace them? In 10/11 we played Jack in a deep role although I don't think Wenger sees him there anymore. As for Arteta, he has performed admirably in an unfamiliar role but he is certainly not a long term fix.
If we do sign Fellaini (I believe it will happen), what happens if he gets injured? He has suffered quite a few nasty injuries and once you put on the red and white the likelihood of you picking up another injury increases tenfold. Wenger admitted last Summer before Song was sold that we were 'short' in his position. Since then he has been sold, Jack pushed further forward, Coquelin is gone and even Wenger has to believe that relying on Diaby is suicidal. So if we were 'short' then, what the hell are we now? We need two holding players, Fellaini and I would also like to sign Kongdobia who has massive potential and considering his age may be happy to be more of a squad player for the next year or so.

There were rumours yesterday that Wenger was showing an interest in Capoue again
Arteta actually began his career as a DM (or "pivot" as they're called in Spain) and moved position when he got to Rangers.
Theres a difference between being a DM in Spain and a DM in England. The difference being Stoke!
Anyone remember that fella Illaramendi we were linked with a while back?
Real have apparently just bought him for €39m.

Rumours that Bendtner is talking to Malaga over a possible transfer.Fair play to them,they sell us Cazorla & Monreal and now they want to give us money for that useless Danish twat.
We can only hope. Problem with Bendtner is that he was on the 'verge' of leaving way too many times. Sadly, I fear that we won't properly get rid of him until his contract runs out.
