Yeah but it's brought us success.

It's funny actually, i was arguing with a United fan about their spending and he shamefully realized they've spent soooooooo much on crumpets as well.

Not even. Real Madrid just said in the press saying noone is leaving till a new manager arrives.

As it stands, Arsenal still front runners apparently. Higuain, Rooney, Wayanma, Williams, Cesar, Fabregas and a replacement for Sagna. They are the strongest links for Wengers revamped squad, all to fit inside the $120mil transfer chest hes been given, with wages set to sore as high as 200,000 a week.

They did say that but they also said they want closer to 30 mill too! We have only unoffically offered 20 mill.

I cant see Cesc coming back this year, but you never know. Also odds for us signing Fellani dropped from 16/1 to 6/4....Hes a beast and would love him at Arsenal.

I don't think Real will accept a bid for Higuain until the Cavani saga is over.
They want him and need to include Higuain in the deal, the higher they value him the less they'll have to pay in a part exchange.

I havent seen anything to say Real want to offer Higuain in an offer for Cavani? Juve have discussed the potential signing but was declined until new coach takes over and Wenger met with his dad / agent in Paris.

There been reports on Napoli sites.
Agent to meet with Madrid reps, if you believe what you read.

Huguin is still a possible move. Does Arsenal really need Fabregas right now? Though he's still loved at the emirates, a midfielder of Felliani's quality will be the best midfield signing

Still nothing about transfers, but they've got a spanking pitch to play on. That is impressive.
