But what about the wages? It' s not just about the fee. A good deal for Arsenal nonetheless, and good to see spurs being snubbed.

Probably old news, if indeed correct.

Lots of legal documents are sent as PDFs though. I'm always surprised that the players seem to have to come to the club in person to sign. At worst, you'd thnk they could use couriers when ,for example, a player is with his national team as many are today.

carefully? Wikipepdia etc give the .dutch pronunciation, but although he has spend a lot of his career in Holland, he is actually Belgian, where he may or may not use the the similar Flemish , or may have a French background. So in short, I have no idea! But I'm pretty sure Dave Merrington will research it thoroughly ;-)

The question is , did he actually miss his flight or did he "miss his flight" ?

Plus the cost of a programme, travel and any refreshments. The Premier League is pricing itself out of the market. Unfortunately they don't really care , as they make all the real money from TV, and the fans are effectively just 'atmosphere' for theRV audience.

Maybe. Personally I reckon there's still a good chance of us signing a winger. I just hope it is someone I've actually heard of! And if we do get an attacking player of reasonable quality, then overall the squad won't look too bad. The main problem won't be the quality of the individual players - more the fact that they haven't played together and aren't yet a team.

doesnt make a lot of sense. I don't know him, but if he is not good enough to have a regular starting place at Stoke, he is unlikely to have one with us. He's more likely to be a squad player and substitute. So if his motive to move is to get a regular start .......

right up the Buttner?

Not sure what gives you that idea. A lot of fans (including me) rate him very highly. I'd be very sorry to see him go. Like CB Saint, I wonder if his agent is asking for a huge rise, and Saints are calling his bluff.

So how late would Millwall have had to have been before the ref awarded us the game as a walkover?

not just me then! Lots of sports 'trails, now

Anybody else watching incomprehensible Arabic discussion in front of a ground that is clearly not the Den?!

Whilst he didn't look particularly impressive on Saturday , regardless of any stats, I thought the main problem was that he was so isolated from the midfield. I rate James Ward-Prowse, but he wasn't linking the midfield to Pelle as the lone striker in the way Lallana did to Lambert or whoever. I wonder if Tadic might be better in that position if we are going to play that formation?

Mods, can we rename this thread "the 3 or 4 same boring prats arguing with each other thread" and start another one with any transfer rumours please?

Well with Balotelli, at least they can be sure of some fireworks ​even if they are in his bathroom!

Blimey! An actual transfer rumour? ..... On the transfer rumours only thread?! Anyway, given that I'm prepared to admit I've never even heard of him, does anyone know any more about this bloke, or how good he is etc?

"Ward-Prowse, Ward-Prowse, so good they named him twice"

Will someone please explain what 'Taider is less than 3’ means?

I was pleased to see him clearing/kicking with either foot.
