I ain't saying she's a gold-digger

Madness

 

Wenger wants to start buying some proven players instead of spending crazy fees on kids, like Reyes and now Walcott

 

 

I mean, is he really worth more than Vieira? Is he fcuk.

good business by mr lowe me thinks!!

 

??15million is a shed load of cash for a championship club and who's to say this lad will hack it at the top level!!!

BARGAIN.

 

He will go to madrid or barcelona for double that in about 2 years

arsenal buyin an englishman?

hell-fire thats not happened for a long long time

Nine times out of ten, every successful team is based on clean sheets and a solid defence.

 

When does he ever spend this kind of money on goalkeepers and defenders?

 

He only spends shit loads on attack minded players.

 

From memory......Jeffers (??10m), Wiltord (??13m), Henry (??10m-good value I admit), Reyes (??16m), Hleb (??10m) and now ??15m on Walcott.

 

How about a decent keeper, centre back and replacement for Vieira?

only costin 4m then possibly rising to 15m if arsenal win every match, every trophy and he scores the winning goal i the world cup final this year...etc etc

 

apparently the estimated cost is more like the 9m mark

Still way too much tho Homer wouldn't you say?

He's fast, but so it Akinbiyi & he couldn't hit a barn door from 3 yards (in the PL anyway). I think it's stupid money for someone so young, he'll end up like another Jermaine Pennant, probably - over-rated and the mother of all chips on his shoulder.

They won't leave in the night - I've no fear that they might desert me

if he is a flop then i will be a waste of 4m

 

is he is a massive success then it will be 15m well spent

If it convinces Henry that they are serious about competing for the best players and he signs a contract extension, money well spent.

 

Quickest player I've ever seen including Darren Campbell on trial at Home Park.

If he is only 16 then surely he is on YTS forms?

 

If this is the case, can't clubs tap him up, then sign when he is out of contract and let a tribunal set the fee??? And that would be at best ??3m due to him only having potential rather than acutal stats???

 

I could be completely wrong but I thought Everton ran this risk with Shrek?

i read that he could leave for as little as 1m if his contract expired...

 

so why pay 4 - 15m!!!?????

 

sounds fookin dumb to me...
