I have no new news about Bale.
I’m still told that unless a ridiculous bid comes in he will stay.

But Tottenham are talking to the Roma youngster, and have spoke to the club and know the fee.
I don’t know if this is dependent on Bale or how serious Tottenham are.
What I have been told is Roma expect to sell him this summer and his agent has spoken to both North London clubs along with a team in France.

Also been told that AVB would prefer the Brazilian.
He really wanted him last year; to the point where it still niggles him.
Juventus and Liverpool have both spoken to his agent.
For me; and this is just opinion from the whispers I heard today; this deal has Tottenham (Levy) all over it.

Since we all rejoicing over the Villa result today; I thought I’ll also add that I was told today that Arsenal are nowhere near signing anyone of significance. That might change after our result today.

Cheers Journo as ever. No news is good news re you know who. Seems like it really will be one or the other, and I think we're all in agreement that either one will do.

Cheers for the info Journalist, if Benteke fancies moving south after today I'm sure he'd be welcomed, even if he just wants to come for a few beers!

Is Journo revealing himself as a secret gooner :rolleyes:

His a Villa man isn't he? Gooners defeat must surely be enough to get Wenger and the board spending. (Not that I want them to).

So avb prefers willian and levy prefers lamela? The only way to sort this is get both then we can see whos right.

I think we're working on Willian seperate, and Lamela is the contingency for Bale.

Bale and Lamela are actually quite similar to accomodate into the same side (though I'm sure we could manage).

Nice update from the Journo.

Onion is no fee agreed for Bale.

Also I get AVB would prefer Willian if Bale was staying but hope he is looking long term with us and what we would do when Bale goes - In that context Lamela would make more sense.

Still in AVB I trust.

Adding Willian to this current squad would be amazing.

After today's pasting I can see Arsenal panic-buying him for a massive fee to appease the baying fans

I reckon the Brazilian AVB wants could be Hulk. We know AVB wanted him last season.

Just ignore my post above. Momentarily forgot that Willian exists and that we've been regularly linked with him.

How much things have changed, normally we would be at each others throats when AVB wants someone and Levy wants someone else, but now its win win as both targets are serious players....still prefer AVB got his way though.

A 21 year old winger/forward is not the answer to any of their problems. :)
Generally encouraging all round from the Journalist there.

It's pleasing to presume that we have options and irons in the fire regardless of whatever happens to Super Boy Murray Babitch.
