I would hope those are true

and Kagawa stolen from Utd. many different people saying different things although I suspect Arsenal have gone or will go the extra length for him with the PR aspect. Park was a disaster.

thenry, you say Guillem Balagaue is a bad source, but where you get the info you post here is 10x worse than the stuff he comes out with. Randomers on twitter are not reliable sources...

thenry · 16-05-2012, 21:59

their not random. and its not just 1 source. i read a bit before speaking.

Guillem Balagaue stories are crap. at least what i post has common sense in it. plus hes ALWAYS wrong.

With Kagawa, Arsenal have "apparently" had a bid accepted, but United are still favourites by a distance. Fergie has met with the player himself.

This is a separate political issue that runs deeper than the badge on a football jersey. Presumably you're aware of the background.

Can people stop posting things as facts if it is simply speculation. Tonight RVP has signed a new contract, we've got M'Vila and taken Kagawa from United.

Read from where? It seems to me that one person is tweeting a rumour with no substance, sources or credibility then someone else also tweets it, then people discuss it on forums and then the orignal tweeter uses the 'buzz' as evidence of the deal. It's one giant echo chamber. It needs at least one reputable source to be taken seriously.

ok.

It comes as Manchester City move into pole position in the battle for his services.

The new Premier League champions are desperate to lure Van Persie north and are ready to put together a Â£25million deal and Â£250,000-a-week contract.

Sky Sports News are also reporting a lack of progress in talks.

It's not looking good.

Yes it does look rather ominous and if he does leave who do you get to replace such a important player.

Get Remy and Giroud would be pretty epic. Struggling to see how both of them would get in the squad - also won't happen.

Yes there is a big difference regarding speculation and reality and l for one will not believe anything until it actually happens and as we see in the news this morning there is a Maelstrom of speculation but nothing more then that.

We should offer a deadline to RVP, sell him if he doesn't sign by a given time to allow us to plan this time.

Yes l agree because as we all remember last season Wenger was put in a position where several players left just before the transfer window and then he had to suddenly rush into buying 3 or 4 players on the last couple of days before the transfer window closed.
