Again your point?

We can all read the paper but we don't go down the pub with the same storyliens in our head but twisted in a way that sees you coming out with "Yeah, I had a phone call today from a mate whose father works as an agent in France and says Nasri is stalling over a contract, I was told about 6months ago he was stalling" over a pint...

Lol. Can you actually read? Please lose your virginity so you stop typing for attention, been doing it since f*ck*ng RWD days.

Is that why you have over 200 posts in the "ZORN" thread bro.

So you not denying your still a virgin...

new xavi interview

A year ago you played the role of fortune-teller and you said that Cesc would come to Barça. Are you willing to make another prophecy?But he was the one who said it. The kid wants to come. He would be a phenomenal player for the team, but the problem is money. He’s expensive because he’s good. 50 million euros. Right now the club isn’t in the best position financially. The problem is the money, he wants to come and we want him here.

Source for the Gervinho report please.Also, I don't like the way every newspaper is saying after x player is going to think about his future after y qualifier or friendly match, when they've blatantly probably made up their mind already.

This thread is getting more and more depressing.

Arshavin told the Russian magazine Sport: “My opinion is very simple: only Cesc should decide if he leaves or not. Serious conversations on this topic in the team was not made – well, we joked a bit, as usual….”“Before leaving on vacation Fabregas gave little gifts to each player, and I asked him: “What is this? A parting gift?”“He said nothing. Here we return to London, and understand, it says there is something behind this silence…”

Depressing aint the word...

Gervinho can dribble and plays on both flanks has pace but his finishing is erratic that's why he scores in patches and goes long periods without a goal.If he can improve on his finishing then 17m will look a steal.Gervinho would be a major upgrade on your current set of wingers.

[TF S4DK]

Major is a bit of a gas, Gervinho wouldn't start ahead of Walcott atm IMO.Technically he's better than Theo (altho thats not hard) but Walcott is faster and a better finisher than him, however with Walcott you kinda know how his game is gonna go after 10 minutes... Basically if Wenger is planning on being as strict to the 4-3-3 as he was this season, then signing Gervinho as a replacement for Bendtner its fine with me.

Barca offer young star to Arsenal in £50m Fabregas dealArsenal are being offered Barcelona babe Thiago Alcantara as part of a £50 million swap deal for Cesc Fabregas.Champions League winners Barca are ready to let the brilliant youngster go to the Gunners as a £7 million makeweight in their latest bid to tempt Fabregas back to his old club.Alcantara will be made available despite making a handful of appearances for Pep Guardiola's side in the closing weeks of the season - with his chances of a game limited by the club's potential new arrivals.Wenger knows that he will face a fight to keep skipper Fabregas and Alcantara could be a ready-made and relatively cheap replacement.Alcantara is due to play for Spain's under-20s at the World Cup and looked better than any English talent when he starred against the young Lions in last summer's European Championships at that age group.The gifted ball player is the son of former Brazil and Barcelona star Mazinho and it would be a wrench for him to leave. But he may have to go for his own development.Reports in Spain suggest Alcantara, who was man of the match against Malaga in the last game of the domestic season, had talks with Wenger during Barca's trip to the Champions League final.And Barca would be prepared to let one of their home-grown starlets go to London if they get Fabregas although they still have to find the other £40-plus million to make that happen.

[Student of Accounting]

Yes!That's a deal.

[MrJibbles]

£50 million and a kid no thank you.

[TF S4DK]

His dad, who is also his agent already said it aint happening. Plus Barcelona fans would fume if it did it happen.

"We have seen the news in the papers, but I belive that Thiago is in the plans of Guardiola for next season," Mazinho told EFE."My son stays at Barcelona. They have a contract and we have decided it's continuity. Thiago is developing and needs to evolve. This season was important, but next season could be better.

[Captain Planet]

I'd take 50mil + BojanClichy, Nasri + Fab can squalaySign N'zogbia, Samba, Parker + BainesPromote Bartley, Boateng + Lansbury:lol:cbl

C/S about the rage from Barca fans if Thiago was sold or included in the deal If Thiago was to agree to it and it went through why wouldn't he in a year or two start creating drama asking to go back to Barca because its his DNA etc etcBarca would be crazy to sell Thiago!
