Its true what your saying in a way BUT with the new 6+5 rule comming soon i think its best to start preparing now.
i dont think theres a better cheaper defender then micah richards in another leauge unless you can ind us one.. plus i think we should be looking to bring in a good english CB anyway as i fell thats what were missing at the back & not only because his english also because he understands what it means to be playing in that role for a team like ours

I cant speak for every arsenal fan but i think 14m would be a bargain for a powerfull CB like richards considering his only young & also has a few international caps under his belt & another bonus is that he is also a arsenal fan...

What more can you ask for in a player??

Newby, the thing is you can get a quality defender like Micah from another league a lot cheaper. Why pay so much just because he is English? seriously, had Arsenal been buying more English players, the club will probably end up with signing just one average player per transfer window.

There are good English players, thats no doubt about it. The only problem is the price.

North London neighbours Arsenal and Tottenham are set to go head to head in a bid to sign Valencia striker David Villa. The Spain international has been made available for around £17m. - Daily Telegraph
if its truethen totthenham has no chance

We wont get Villa but i reckon David Silva would be a cracking player for us. Winger comfortable on both flanks.

duck please seek medical help urgently :-)
Richards is a quality defender and has more than a decade of football left in him. If he plays for 14 years thats like signing him every year for £1m - well worth it!
Unfortunately it won't happen but I would love to see him come to the gunners!

I don't see how Micah Richards is worth 14 mil.

winning something coming close is just not good enough

I do think the board NEED to give wenger a good amount of money this yr & MAKE HIM SPEND IT ALL..
Im not so sure if we'll need vila with all our strikers but i wouldnt say no & wenger probably wont be playing walcott up front next season anyway..

I really dont belive this info is true & cant really see wenger having more then 40mill to spend & if thats the case then we need to bring in the players most needed so i dont think a striker is priority..

How i think we could spend 40million if thats how much wenger had to spend in the summer.

Samir nasri 12m
Micah richards 14m
Yaya toure 6m
Maruo zarate 8m (who i belive looked top class for brum at the end of last season & can also be a good impact player to bring on when opposition is tiering.. like walcott can do or what solskjaer used to do for united)

We probably wont spend nowhere near the 40m mark but think we may need to if we wanna make improvments on last season.

WICH MEAN WINNING SOMTHING & NOT COMMING CLOSE....

It is almost like he is sad to win because it completes some kind of cycle.WELL IT DONT FUCKIN MAKE ME SAD WHEN WE WIN THE LEAGUE.Enough is enough and its time for a change the board really need to start getting a fucking idea of how the fans feel about all of this and stop being wankers with THE cheque book.?CAN ANY OF YUO PEOPLE TELL ME THE LAST TIME YOU GOT EXCITED ABOUT ARSENAL BRINGING IN A PLAYER WE ALL KNOW BECAUSE I CANT.

We slipped up last season because AW gambled. He only had 3 players who could create and score out of nothing - Rosicky, Eduardo and Van Persie, and they all got injured when they were most needed.

Ade and Cesc can score too but mostly they get on the end of team-moves. But they weren't scoring any more, and with Diaby, Hleb and Eboue playing behind Ade, it was up to Gallas and Theo and others to pop up with the odd goal. This wasn't enough to win matches and we lost out.

The only way that we were ever going to win the league was if United slipped up. They did at the start and then a second time - leaving us 5 points ahead.

What many fans seem to be annoyed about is that it would only have taken one player to show a bit of form during the following few games - scoring a few goals, to have made the difference. It could have been a bought player or a Walcott on the right wing or some other bit of magic. But AW doesn't do magic, he does percentages and building momentum. And stubbornness.

Maybe fans want signings because if we had bought Hargreaves, Nani, Anderson and Tevez, we would have had enough to win it. Though in hindsight Nani and Anderson are horrible.

The thing is Ferguson is desperate, like he has always been, to win every year. AW isn't - he prefers the building process. It is almost like he is sad to win because it completes some kind of cycle - and that is why we will see Eboue on the right next season because AW always has the time to try to prove he was right all along.

If his job or his reputation were under serious threat, he would stop experimenting. And a desperate manager (like Ancelotti or Sven or someone) would snap up a player like David Villa who offered himself like that.

Maybe he would sit on the bench as Van Persie and Rosicky and Eduardo stayed fit for 60 games, or maybe he could make the difference (4 points).

Re: Villa’s Price Tag Takes A Massive Drop

BOY-BETTER-KNOW — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:31:45 -0000

rvp plays very good on wing also and in my opinion villa will score minimum 30 goals next season if he comes in england,look what torres did ,and villa is much better .

yes all those 30 blunders, what a terrible waste of 3million! at least if wed brought a big name like shevchenko for 20 - 30 million then hed have put away at least twice a many as that useless lump adebayor! would bother trying to put that reasonably but the people who think ade did bad leading the frontline mainly on his own without a regular strike partner and almost unrested bagging 30 goals are never going to see sense so i will just say your talking a fat load of arse

his opta stats are up there with the best his chance conversion is comparable to any striker in the league, he was in the players team of the season, he was 2nd or 3rd top league scorer , every top defender has said hes the player they hate playing against, barca and milan were sniffing around

but of course they are all wrong and your the only people who werent blinkered and could see the truth that ade was in fact crap and all the goals and praise and awards were just a big mirage

selling ade would be a joke and the only other way we could make a bigger statement of no ambition would be to sell fabregas.

as for rvp, hes been injured fairly badly for 2 or 3 years but we all know what he can do, and itsnot like sayshearer with repeat knee injurys or rosicky / owens hamstrings, it is actually just appalling luck and maybe something like an awkward way of falling as all the injurys are separate things: broken metatarsal, could and has happened to anyone (becks, cole, clichy rooney etc) awkward fall that twisted his knee this year, same thing happened to owen kenwyne jones, bullard, dont think its helped the way hes been rushed back, but we gave clichy a fair crack with his injurys and look at the rewards, so surely hes worth keeping for another season or 2 before thinking about getting rid as a crock, hes ridiculously talented and he loves the club and if he can get a run in hed be a first choice on our teamsheet for sure

so really theres no one wed want to sell (if were being sensible) and therefore no room for another striker, if hleb goes we need 2 wingers (or amf who will play as wingers) as we were short there last year and we cant afford to lose another there, and wenger has said hes definetly looking for a defender who can deal with the straight long ball, and thats really all we need,

if we werent as thin on the wings last season hleb or rosicky could have come into the middle to give cesc a rest now and then and we wouldnt see the end of seasondip as fatigue sets in, hes still 20 and needs more of a rest than he gets or hell be constantly breaking down later in his career
