If I was in their position and I was going to sell him to us, I wouldn't be doing it until after our match next week. Just saying like.

My thinking as well. We should pay them a million extra just so we can get him before that game.

£1m for one game? Does that make him worth £38m over a season?

I wouldn't fucking pay bolton an extra mil for him a game early. Its a fucking ludicrous business idea. id rather the extra mil went elsewhere. He wouldn't even fucking START for us if we bought him that day.

He's that good Fabs, but of course it's a terrible idea. But I'd rather that he's in our team when we play them next weekend.

i'm not convinced he is that good still TBH
[/quote]
I'm not gonna try to convince you. I know that you prefer Mertesacker.
[/quote]
It's not even that, i think mertesacker if half the price and a monster in the air. He's slow, thats why i'm not overly sold on Per. But cahill....he just seems average. Not that strong, not that great in the air, not that great going forward.... For me, he just strikes me as someone who doesn't do enough to justify the hype.

Was Cahill originally at Villa or was that someone else? If so, why did they sell him?

Wenger and the Board at Loggerheads Exclusive
August 21 2011
According to an unnamed source Arsene Wenger is at loggerheads with the Board over how the transfer budget should be spent. I am not at liberty to name that source, but I believe the information I received explains the current impasse at Arsenal. Before I explain what the differences between them are, let me make it clear that there is a substantial transfer budget that has to not only cover transfer fees but wages of incoming players and contract improvements of those already here.
People ask why have Arsenal not signed Cahill, Dann or Samba etc, well its simple really, Wenger wants better players, the Board want him to sign the above level of player, as it sits with their wage scale, Arsene wants the next level up, a Subotic, a Hummells, but they come with not only high transfer fees but with massive wage demands.
Wenger would rather not sign a player at all, than sign someone for a big fee who he considers no better than what we have, the board have asked him to reconsider this stance, and that is why Cahill and Dann have been scouted this late in the window, Arsene sees them as not as good as Koscielny, and thinks it is the wrong way to use his budget, he wants better quality for the first 11, the board just want him to make signings to appease the fans.
-----
If that blog is anything to go by, Wenger doesn't rate Cahill or Dann.

If I remember it correctly, he wasn't that good back then, even though he was a great prospect O'neill didn't rate him.
Preferred Laursen, Davies and Knight. Later on he bought Dunn and Cuellar.
Big mistake.

[/quote]
We will. We simply need to get the wage bill down enough to cover his wages by getting shut of a player first.

I must admit, I'm right on the verge of jumping on the Cahill bandwagon. He is a seriously classy footballer, and a composed defender.
the bolton chairman (I think) swears blind that he hasn't recieved a single bid for cahill. he must be shitting bricks right now.
come the end of the transfer window if someone offers him a last rolo for cahill he will snatch their hand off figuring a rolo is better than nothing.
