Cashley saga to be wrapped up this week (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/5251684.stm)
Thank god. If we come out with 20m+ or 10m and gallas, this could be one of our best deals of all time. I'll be really disappointed if he does go for 16m or below, in which case I'd have preferred to have him sit in the reserves for 2 years, and fine him wages for all sorts of things to keep the cost of that down.

at least 15m plus gallas would be good. he is turning 29 this month and with our policy of offering one year contracts to players over 30. it doesn't look like a lucrative deal imo. gallas would probably be offered a two year deal if he did sign with us.

Lets buy Heskey, he's the foil Henry needs. It's sooooooo obvious.

how many times has a big name player for cash+another big name player actually happened?
the idea gets thrown out all the time, but I can't really think of anything right now.

If by "foil" you mean "unproductive donkey" then so be it.;)

Hey i found this piece of info today about Ribery, so it looks like we only have Gallas left to look forward to signing:
According to reports in France, Franck Ribery will be playing in the white of Real Madrid this season. Lyon, Arsenal and Manchester United have all been linked with the player, but fresh reports claim that Ribery's move to Real is a done deal.

If Ashley goes and Sol already departed it means Arsenal will have a foreign back line for the first time in their history.

Here is the story that coincides with that pic...
The Sun claims that those pics were taken LAST YEAR before our CL fixture against Madrid.
You gotta be kidding me.

Ridic- i dont think Reyes is going anywhere for the time being...
however, I like how Wenger agreed with so many on BS boardsa bout Ribery- "where do I fit Ribery in?"

Don't buy the Real and Reyes hype from Spain, he will play tomorrow and stay a Gunner.
The bids that Real are offering are too low for Wenger to sell.
