£5m for Hleb????? Surely more than that.

I still don't care and won't care untill its officially confirmed.

Either Wenger takes £5million or Hlbe buys himself out for £3 million

Ashley Young? We trying to morph into Bolton?

Surely has to be more than £5m. The webster thing seems far too complicated and drawn out to be a feasible option so I can't see that being a factor for a monetary transfer.

£15 mill.

Ashley young is bolton quality eh? oh well

Well i dont know anything about nasri and his youtube clips arent impressive (point of bringing that up is, its supposed to be the clips of your best stuff)

but I trust in wenger

but you have bigger things to worry about hleb24...like wht the f.ck you're going to do about name

Young is a good player but alot of his assists were set pieces and corners. Although I'm not denying he would be useful I feel Wenger likes the Nasri/Hleb/Rosicky type who plays a technical continental game and comes in off the wing to play give and goes with Cesc.

Good point about username. Never thought it would come to this. *weep* *weep*

Youngs impressed me enough..dont think he would ave any issues fitting in at arsenal

anyway back to the name..if it comes to it you should make a name suggestion sticky..lol

Whoa, I thought Helb24 was Helb, judging by his recent posts.

listen if real madrid, barca and inter are interested in hleb then we will get more than 5 million - we should demand 20million F*ck hleb if he wants to be a c*nt we should play hardball. If nobody will pay 20mil he can play with our 16 year olds in the reserves - IF A PLAYER WANTS TO LEAVE THEY CAN LEAVE BUT DO NOT SNEAK AROUND IN SHADY MEETINGS THAT IS SO F*CKING DISLOYAL AND INSULTING TO THE MANAGER WHO SHOWED FAITH IN YOU AND THE FANS WHO PAY X AMOUNT TO WATCH

lets not allow another cashley - i pay f*ckin hundreds every year to watch the arsenal and these c*nts show no loyalty what so ever and chase the buck - sneaking around in hotel rooms and ice cream parlours with scummy superagents and representatives for extra money

GIMME A RAY PARLOUR OVER AN ALEX HLEB ANYDAY

Talent is one thing but the pride in the shirt is paramount. If your dreaming of barcelona or madrid or milan and want to use our club as a stepping stone - you can f*ck off now

GIVE US 20 MIL AND THAT WILL GO DOWN NICELY - HLEB IS CLASS PLAYER BUT CAN BE REPLACED.. LOOK AT ANELKA, OVERMARS, PETIT WE REPLACED THEM WITH HENRY, PIRES AND CESC

Quote:

what I was saying is that hleb cant buy his way out...thought that was already established

that contract buying stuff is balls as wenger said - hleb will have to take us to court and then sit out 6-8 months of football whilst it gets resolved - all for inter milan? loll

as for Nasri - padre if this is true - well done on the exclusive mate save alot of time having to read w*nk off the telegraph or times

or typing in arsenal in google search after every hour at work to see the latest news

Even if Hleb attempted to buy himself out, Wenegr will simply refuse and let the case be dragged on in teh Arbitration Court and Helb can rot ashe will be banned from football.

Effectively, he will sit out one eyar; and Inter name will be dragged throught the mud as Arsenal will then certainly initiate a formal complain to FIFA for "tapping".

Now, which team will dare to buy this "dmaaged goods" for fear that it may also influence their unhappy players to leave via Webster Clause?

If Hleb is successful in leaving via Webster Clasue, imagine the chaos in the transfer market where a 20 to 30+ million players suddenly is worth less than 10-mil?

And how will ManLeeds, Chelski and Liverpool service their debt with such heavy losses in the transfer market?

Imagine unhappy palyers like SWP, Anelka, Shevcenko, Ballack, lampard, Terry, Ronaldo, berbatov, lennon, RObinson, Dorgba, Torres, nani, Anderson, Kaka, Messi, Eto'o, Castilla, Sergei Ramos, Robinho, Pato et al all leave on a Webster Clause?

If we get Nasri with Vela, then I don't mind losing Hleb. For as gopd as he is with the ball, he still didn't produced too many goals.

thats trye HG, thats how im thinking now.

Nasri has similar ball skills to hleb but may get more goals

In my mind hleb is no longer an arsenal player. will be a pleseant surprise if he stays though

I agree with this. It's not if he leaves but when and hopefully it's this summer.

If I could ask one thing, its that we give real hleb and 5-million and take robinho. thats la la land thinking though.

Thats a good team AF.

Would definitely choose a new dm over diaby and denilson. dont think they're ready for that role. Diaby should be cesc's replacement.

Wenger please be prepared for any injury.

Dunno if I believe this "Nasri having medical now" hype

Robhino is chavs bound.

Dennis Bergkamp, simply the best

i think nasri is cesc's replacement


AF

u sure? seen that "chav bound" headline on newsnow but dont believe it. But then saying that doubt we'll get him either, even though wenger seemed very interested 2 summers ago.

lets hope he is OG, or hope we get fewer injuries

The Robinho to Chel$ki thing is true 80'sGoona. Its on SSN TV and everything.

There is no way would Nasri, who is higly rated, a full international and already plays regular first team football, will be happy to sit on the bench for us and be behind Cesc in the pecking order.

AW is gonna play out wide if we get him, which p.isses me off.

We need players with width on the wings not ACMs, FFS!

Nasri is going on the wing.

This is dragging. I would prefer it if transfer deals like Eduardo's happen. Discreet and quick.

- aKa Princess of Highbury 1913-2006

Agreed Lucy.

The Eduardo transfer was great cos no one knew about it and we only found out after it was done.

It was totally out of the blue and was nice surprise.

Emirates Stadium: The New Home of Football

Ribbery has supposedly said that he is happy for Nasri to join an EPL side that has many good young players


AF

I rather have Ribery instead.

Emirates Stadium: The New Home of Football

If Nasri plays on the wing, where does that put Vela?

As a striker, like Arsene said not so long a go.

nasri will be on the right wing and as an AM in 4-5-1 .. vela will be rosicky's replacement on left

no point on speculatin about formation

if u ask me i wouldnt have thought we lacked a creative player but wenger said we do and he KNOWS what he is doing.

we don't know how good Nasri will be for Arsenal but think of it this way, he is younger than Cesc

Either Wenger takes £5million or Hlbe buys himself out for £3 million

I thought Wenger said he will take Helb to court if Helb invokes the Webster clause. And that will drag Helb's transfer for too long which Helb and his agent will want to avoid. So I am pretty sure Wenger will get more than 5m pounds from the likes of Inter or Real.

I reckon it`s best to let him go for about half of what we payed for him as, reading between the PR lines, he`s had enough of our club and the EPL.

I agree Weedz.
5 is beter than 3 and the Webster clause will remain unused.
What is the point of a protracted battle?

It will be hard to push beyond 5 as Hleb can threten to fight it, as can Wenge, but then its a Mexican stand off.

Good link that, Cheers AF.

Well we got Vela for the Mexican stand off.

Dennis Bergkamp, simply the best

I didn't know Mexicans played rugby!

So he has signed as we all knew he would. Any news on the medical?

Emirates Stadium: The New Home of Football

Stewart Robson on Arsenal TV said tonigh that Nasri's normal position is in the hole behind one main striker - much like Zidane played, will this mean a change of formation for Arsenal or a change of role for Nasri

Not necessarily so.

Just a straight swop as what we did in August/Septemeebr 2007 where Hleb was given a free role, just behind Van Persie.

...............Almunia

...Sagna....Kolo....Gallas....Clichy

...EBoue...Fabregas...Flamini.Diaby...Rosicky/Walcott/vela

.............Hleb..Nasri

................Van Persie

it si actually more or less a 4-4-1-1 easily covnerting to 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 with Diaby and Nasri being the key replacement.

And witht eh growing influence of Fabregas with his improving defensive steel...it may very well be Germany 4-2-3-1..


..................ALmunia

...Sagna.....Kolo........Gallas....Clichy

.........Eboue.............Diaby

...Nasri.........Fabregas.......Rosicky/Walcott/vela

.................Van Persie

Not too bad as we carry on from what we started on August/September 2007.

Key points are improvement shown by Walcott, Eboue and Diaby; as well as Nasri able to slot in seamlessly and take over from Hleb.

And of coruse, a healthy Van Persie and Rosicky lasting the distance and will not breakdown by October 2008...

Yeah I think Nasri is Hleb's replacement and if Hleb does end up staying then expect Hleb to warm the bench once Nasri adjusts to our style of play and the Prem.
