Well he is hit or miss. From a finiancial point of view, the investment will not go to waste because we can win back the huge chunk of that 22 mil on shirt sales alone!

The sources are claiming that the German giants have decided that they are willing to sell the winger following a struggling season that failed to deliver silverware to the club this season but with the Frenchman failing to feature for much of the season due to injury, the main reason that the club are thought to have been willing to discuss the transfer.

The 2011 Summer Transfer Rumours Thread - Page 3 Smells_like_bullshit_cpd

by Jay29 Wed Jul 20, 2011 11:10 pm

Always got to be weary of small time websites claiming that the club has confirmed something. How would they know?

Better yet, why would Arsenal, who does every transfer dealing in private, tell some random person that they're close to completing a deal with someone?

Already we know that the repor is bullshit, without actually getting into the fact that Wenger probably wouldn't pay £22,000,000 for Ribery, or match his monstrous wages.

if thats true then i will do something which i havnt done all my life

by lenear1030 Wed Jul 20, 2011 11:15 pm

lol, im not believing the ribery signing one bit.

by Sri Wed Jul 20, 2011 11:19 pm

Ribery. Now. Yeah right.

by Eman Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:04 am

If we actually end up signing Ribery, my jaw will probably fall off of my face.

I have to say though: £22,000,000 for Ribery would be a damn good deal, considering he's a genuinely world class player.

The irony of it though would be despite signing a world class talent, one of Fabregas or Nasri will probably still leave.

I don't buy Ribery rumor one bit, his wage is huge. Even if it has tiny bit of truth in it, it's 3-4 years too late.

by Raptorgunner Thu Jul 21, 2011 2:46 am

I don't even bother checking rumours anymore, I give up. The Ribery rumor is a joke, and yes Twoism you are right couple of years too late.

Didn't Byern Muncin rejected a 40m or more last year from RM -.- it's never gonna happen Sad

by The Verminator Thu Jul 21, 2011 6:56 am

Even though rib is great, i won't celebrate his signing like i did with arshavins. I went absolutely mad! I was so happy! Dunno why though....

by Sushi Master Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:17 am

He's not leaving Bayern, guys Razz

Wenger has his chance but money was tight ATM.

Now Mata cheers

by djoe26 Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:58 am

Ribery to Arsenal? haha i dont think so. And why would wenger pay 22m for ribery? There is no chance Wenger would spend that much. I really hope we buy Mata even if it costs him 22m.

by Sri Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:28 am

No doubting Ribery's class.. But rather Mata now for that money.. In other news, the Daily Mirror say we're listening to offers for Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in the region of £1m. The attacker has failed to so far live up to expectation at the club and rather send him out on loan again, Wenger is looking to sell according to the newspaper.

by Twoism Thu Jul 21, 2011 10:03 am

oh man, how things changed, just last summer JET looked like up coming world beater.

by GenBlizkin Thu Jul 21, 2011 10:58 am

imagine if we got the best possible out of the summer how would a team like this look

Wojcech
Sagna Vermaelen Cahill Enrique
Song
Ribery Fabregas Wilshere
Mata
RVP

Ill go back to playing FM now Smile

After the little stunt he pulled last time, it's probably for the best

by RealGunner Thu Jul 21, 2011 9:25 pm

think they have accepted the deal, according to the rumours. Deal done after the WC

by EL Patron Thu Jul 21, 2011 9:35 pm

He better be worth it...he needs to get himself a proper agent

by Raptorgunner Thu Jul 21, 2011 9:38 pm

LOL this is getting too funny, I will never again believe anything the papers say unless I hear it coming from Arsenal.com

by SUPERCARTTS Thu Jul 21, 2011 11:12 pm

I like Jagielka. He would definitley give us another dimension, defensively and offensively, from set pieces.
