^ yep. Honestly, given the recent slide, I'm not surprised at all that Young chose Utd if Arsenal went in for him. Based on recent years and potential, and also with the history of the clubs, who would you play for? We're biased because we're obvious Gooners, so of course we'd say 'Arsenal', but for the same amount of money, Man Utd is not exactly a middling club in a middling league. They're world renowned, and a damn good team to boot, so credit to Young for getting on their radar. Of course, it's also Wenger's policy not to throw 'more money' a la City to get a player, so...yeah, go figure. And to reinforce Jon's point, Arsenal are NOT guaranteed CL football yet. We have to get the job done to get into the competition.

With that said, I hope Wenger gets all of his signings done in early July, so he can get the team put together for a really, REALLY tough start to the next season. August looks like the bear.

Jose Enrique, I hear, would bring Joey Barton with him. Do you really, REALLY want the Toon Terror in red and white? Hell no, I would rather get Leighton Baines if Everton will release him.

The more I hear about Samba's price tag, the more I plead "PLEASE GET JAN VERTONGHEN", but eh, I'm not the manager.

Again, it's June. July is when the **** will hit the fan if Wenger does not state his intent and powering through some signings. But I give him time...for now.

In other news: there's some unsettled rumors regarding Rossi, maybe he won't go to Barca after all. Wonder where else he would go...?
