Real Madrid are offering £30 million for the midfield anchor and one unnamed player (possibly Borja) in exchange
They can shove Borja up their arse!

Borja is a defensive midfielder.AFCG7 said:By the way.. who is Borja?

calvinngai88 said:Since Vieira has already held talks with Wenger, and not a word of the private conversation was publicly enclosed, maybe there's a plan between the two.
Second scenario : Vieira doesn't want to leave, but doesn't want Madrid to know about it. Continue to keep silent and play with them, until when the deadline arrives, come out and announce that he'll stay with Arsenal. Then Madrid will not have enough time to get Coloccini or Xabi as alternative.
Adam said:We will know for certain by Thursday (August 5th Champions league squad submission deadline) if he is coming or going.

Allyboy said:To be fair though, a year ago David Beckham was (and arguably still is) the most marketable and potentially greatest profit maximising player in the world, and he only went for £23 million.
With one notable exception, the markets have contracted from the days of £35 million + deals, clubs just cannot afford those sort of fees now.
The exception of course is Chelsea who have more money than sense. They are probably paying at least an extra 30% on top of each player they buys' value and the selling clubs know they can justify paying it.
If this is true then Paddy wanted to be a Galactico, and he will get his wish now. This saga can finally come to and end and we can get on with maximising our potential and hopefully at least retain the Premiership.
VaVaVoom said:Not sure whether i'm clutching at straws here but this story appears fairly dubious, with the figure of 23.1 million (particularly the .1 bit) there to give extra credence to a story with very little truth. Lets hope so anyway
How on earth can you blame the board, its obvious they were forced to accept a bid lower than their valuation because paddy had made it clear he wanted to leave. We can only hope Arsène is given the £23.1 million from the deal to strengthen the sqaud.Robno.7 said:a spanish radio station say that we have accepted a bid from real for vieira for 23.1 million
if this is true i will never forgive the arsenal board
why do they say we don't need to sell our players and we want vieira to stay, and then go and sell him for a price i believe is unacceptable
