It's a ridiculous price.

And what does this mean for Bartley? This signing isn't even necessary, yet some people are jumping for joy over it. I doubt anyone has seen him play more than one match.
Del Turd strikes again. Come summer, as it stands now, we'll only have Djourou and Vermaelen as defenders. Spending money where needed is what we've cried out for, for so, so long, and now that the club appears willing to do so we're gonna whine about it? Christ. Nine out of ten times Wenger gets us the right man for the job, so when he finally appears to be willing to spend some, it's natural that we become excited.

Plan for future please.

Gallas, Silvest, Campbell is in their 30s and we only have 2 able centerbacks who are not 30.

No I see the need to get someone, but 7 Million for someone who has played 1 premier league match, is a bit of a gamble.

Looks almost certain that we are in for him now. Wouldn't say no to a foursome of Gallas Vermaelen Djourou and Smalling next season. You can be sure there is talent there if Wenger is looking to spend £7m on an unproven player.

if it happens, it probably means he's better than bartley. or maybe nordveit isn't seen as a CB anymore. or maybe djourou is out of favour. or maybe we just want as many promising CBs as possible since vermaelen's really the only one we can count on long-term.

chill out.

we've got chris smalling, f**k adebayor??
:lol:

Actually getting pretty excited about this now, and I've never seen him play! However, if Roy Hodgson and Arsène Wenger both rate him, then I think it's pretty safe to assume he's a plyer.

20 year old, 6 foot 4 inch, young English defender.

7m? I can't comment on price, if Wenger thinks he's worth it, I'd back him.

I remember he was after Villas Curtis Davies when he was at West Brom and we bid £5m, although Brom were demanding in and around the 10m region, and this was the only reason he pulled out of the negotiations.

Anyway, lets hope this young lad can come in and prove his worth at 7m.

Google has a calculator function. Just type "193cm to inches" in the search box.

Result: 193 centimeters = 75.984252 inches

Which is almost 6'4".
