    The ESPN Soccernet live webchat mentioned that it was wage demands that killed the Arteta deal.

    Somehow the board are to blame, because rumors are not true ?

    Half those players were not considered, we cannot match the Mata salary offer, Gotze is going nowhere, M'Vila and Hazard were intentionally over-priced.

    There is some benefit to $$ in January, when in November, you find out that ____ is out for the season.

    Holy sh1t ... Lol ... Lmao ...

    Utterly unbelievable ... Are you on crack ...

    Honestly ... That truly made me laugh ...

    If we ever sign him I'll you all a ticket to watch him in an arsenal shirt if we ever disgrace ourselves to such a level as to buy that wretched cnut ...

    Clint Dempsey, some of you are insane ...

    By the way, just heard from a junkie in islington that kaka, messi, ronaldo, beckham and freddy adu are on the card in the next 24 minutes.

    I have to be honest. If what his youtube videos show is true, i really REALLY saw no reason not to offer a 1 year trial contract. The guy is quality he is just injury prone. If he is taking good care of himself like his videos show, we should have thrown a few bucks at him.

    I was watching the Sky Sports reporter standing out White Hart Lane, and thinking of how entirely forgotten are the riots - only days later.

    In 2 weeks, no one will remember who was signed on Aug 31.

    The point of signing a player is not for fans to feel good for a few days, it is to assemble the best squad.

    If you're listening to Sky Sports News, doesn't Dave Basset sound like he's turning into an old cumudgeon? :-D

    Yep and a midfield with two players (if not three) considered Arsenal legends and a midfield which overall should've provided better cover for that "lousy defense" on the day. The point being....contrary to your statement, it wasn't a Carling Cup team that got hammered...far from it.

    As long as they don't get in the way of the development of a couple 17 year olds.

    I can't speak for others, but I blame the Board/management for selling late and putting the club in a position where finding a suitable replacement for players they knew where leaving has become an insufferable task. I get the way the transfer deals work, but there's no reason Arsenal, ARSENAL!, should be juggling last minute negotiations for either Arteta or Benyoun on loan for a woefully thin midfield.

    Their deals already show the club has put themselves into a position of reacting to need rather than building for strength (a luxury from the past), but even then this scrounging for scraps reeks of a desperation that belies the supposed aspirations for the club. I'm hopeful, but at the least this is an abysmal show from a PR perspective.

    Agreed, and I'm hopeful that's one reason they're holding back now, but their MO suggests otherwise.

    Absolutely. And yesterday's news seemed to look like doing just that. Today's?

    Dude! Are you on crack, or just looking for an argument? Back 4 - Cole = Stellar, Luzhny = decent, Grimandi in the back 4 = bollox, Stepanovs = makes Squilcci look like Sol campbell!

    Failure of Arsenal, or failure of Benayoun ?
