They weren't saying hi to you they were saying "**** off you English ****" in Welsh <laugh>
I was watching BBC Wales Today yesterday evening and they were reporting on the Bale to Madrid story.They first interviewed a Welsh ex-pat about living in Madrid,they then spoke to a Spanish woman whose partner/husband was from Bontnewydd near Caernarfon.It was hysterical listening to her speak English with a hybrid Spanish/Cofi accent <laugh>

There I was thinking you Welsh were a nice people <grr>
 
On a serious note, would anyone here be happy if we got Barry? The general consensus would be Cabaye would be a waste of money.

Cabaye is an interesting character. He has a very good all-round game, which is obviously what Wenger likes in a midfielder. The statistics would seem to indicate that he is very undervalued. At 27, he still has a decent amount of time left.

I'd strongly prefer him to Barry.

Agreed, Cabaye is more of a Wenger pick and someone I think would suit us. You reckon Barry could keep up with the way we play and where would he play?
 
Barry would be a JOKE signing.

Wenger looked soo uncomfortable today answering questions about transfers. Does'nt look like we are close to signing anyone.

It was only a week ago he was talking a big game. Pleeeaaase sort it out Arsenal.

Do we really want a player that behaves like this? Or, are we so ****ing desperate for players, that we must overlook such appalling behaviour?

Flamini was a bitch too with his former club before he joined us.

Yes, this is bad, but at the same time, when you have a player, you need full commitment from them, and Cabaye obviously doesn't feel he can give that, and as such doesn't play, I think that's a bit fair, remember how pissed we got at Adebayor when he put in some terrible heartless performances for us, it's better in such situations that the player doesn't even play.

Again, this is a grown up environment. Flamini doesn't owe AC anything and AC doesn't owe Flamini anything. If there was no deal it was because they couldn't agree on one. Same thing when he left Arsenal. He felt he could earn better money elsewhere and he took it. He seemed to be pretty instrumental in AC's second half recovery, presumable they couldn't agree on how much he contributed.

They lost their first game to newly promoted Hellas Verona, so maybe he has a point.
 
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has lined up Wigan midfielder James McCarthy, 22, to replace Yohan Cabaye should the 27-year-old France midfielder join Arsenal.

Germany international Ozil would be willing to swap La Liga for the Premier League, but only if the Gunners or Manchester United are prepared to meet his £200,000-a-week pay demands.

Rumours that Flamini has agreed to join us on Twitter. Not a bad addition to the squad, could add some grit to our midfield. Need several more additions though . . .
