I've learned to never fully believe a player is coming to your club UNTIL you see him on the pitch playing
Dont forget...
I'm still dumbfounded that Mikel was full on in the kit, doing a presser, and it wasnt a done deal.
While we are on the subject, Peter Odemwingie showing up at QPR, and talking up his new club, still is hilarious to me.
I think about it whenever I see him on the pitch and it still makes me laugh.

As much and I want the nutjob at Arsenal, I too dont see it happening anymore....not with the position they are in right now. Had they been out of it by failing to pick up all those points without him during his ban, him seeing the squad struggle without him, would have reaffirmed that he was too good for Liverpool and he would be more open to bounce at the first chance in Winter. Plus at the time, over the summer, we were an unknown quality in terms of title ambition, but now with a player of Suarez caliber leading our line they'd be selling us the title and they know that. He isnt going anywhere now (Unless Roman offers 80m to bring him to Chelsea or something...which I could actually see happening
).But just for clarification in the summer the classless owner Henry's bit on twitter, "What are they smoking down at Emirates" was about the offer of 40m +1 not that there was no way they weren't willing to sell to us.
Go read back at quotes/interviews from Rogers over the summer they wanted 50m for him and would have sold him for that much if the offer came in but we apparently didn't want to go higher than 40m/thought that he had a clause in his contact which we could talk to him and he'd push for a move to the Emirates thus we'd get him for that 40m+1.
In hindsight refusing to pay the extra 10m for him/hoping he'd push for a move looks INCREDIBLY stupid.
I mean what the **** can 10m get you today in world football! transfers? One Oliver Giroud or one Gervinho.....that's what...and that says it all.

Ramsey was going to come to Arsenal before any other club.
The boy grew up his entire life an Arsenal supporter, along with Jack.

^Huh? Ramsey a lifelong Arsenal supporter? Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure he grew up 100% supporting Cardiff. I think you may be thinking on Jenkinson...he's a Gooner through and through (as is Nico Yennaris).
with that said its not like it matters...

Spurs flying in Willian and setting everything up just for Chelsea to scoop him up to sign him is up there too.

Spurs paying the taxi fare for Emmanuel Petit to sign for Arsenal >
and that Obi Mikel transfer to Chelsea was pretty crazy...
Utd was going to use him as an attacking midfielder,at least that's what i remembered of him playing for the Nigeria U21...
sure he won titles with the Blues but i'm gonna go as far as saying that we never really saw Mikel's true potential...

Ronaldo chillen with the womens volleyball team and Rooney boxing. Sounds about right.
No idea what Victor Moses or Landon Donavon are doing there. I don't want them on my team if the world's on the line.

I'm sure in Jada's mind, every player to ever exist in the history of man kind, grew up an Arsenal fan.
Pele himself is still disappointed he never played for the Gunners.

Mikel has one EPL goal in 100+ appearances for Chelsea. Even if it's from a defensive position, I think it's pretty safe to say that he wasn't about to become some offensive machine.

I just realized West Brom fired Steve Clarke... I wonder if Jose will bring his protege in to help "reorganize" the Chelsea defense?
