Not since Cashley Cole has an Arsenal full-back had such an inflated sense of self-worth.
Bacary Sagna's after £90,000 a week for the next three years, plus a £6m signing-on fee. The Gunners have offered him a two-year deal on 'just' £75k a week. You can probably guess how it'll pan out; with
Serge Aurier from Toulouse brought in to replace him. Or
Calum Chambers, Wenger's getting a £10m bid ready apparently. Though David Moyes is keen too...
Assuming reports of advanced negotiations with Everton and
Seamus Coleman are wide of the mark. Maybe he wants both? Splash out Davey, go for it, the cash is certainly available now
Edinson Cavani's ruled out a move. Seems he wants a higher standard of football (Champions League), ouch.
Diego Costa to Old Trafford though? That's more like... Hang on, says here the United board want Diego Simeone (his Atletico manager) too. Oh dear.
Man City will bid £30m for
Luke Shaw, sign
Victor Valdes on a free and ditch
Joe Hart. It all sounds so simple when you put it like that.
You'll not be shocked to hear that Inter are trailing
Fernando Torres. But what if I told you his exit will pave the way for the arrivals of
Diego Costa and Radmael Falcao? What then?
Brendan Rodgers looks to be getting the hang of this transfer lark.
Xherdan Shaqiri from Bayern and
Marcos Rojo of Sporting Lisbon will do nicely. No
Yevhen Konoplyanka though, he's off to Spurs instead.
And who remembers
Mame Biram Diouf? The former Man Utd 'ace' is at Hannover these days, but not for much longer if Stoke or Cardiff have got anything to do with it.
