So did I at first.
And LMAO. Talking of profile pictures - check out the Lille website's player profiles...
I imagine that if talks had started two or three weeks ago, you might have got more for him with the two clubs realistically negotiating between 10 and 15m. Loved Wenger denying it in his PC the other day, though - clearly he's not happy with the way Journalists have written about us so far this season, so he's been ******* about with them recently.
On Arteta only going backwards and sideways in Denilson-like fashion:
2.7 - Only five players have created more chances per 90 mins in the Premier League since 06/07 than Mikel Arteta. Bid

Aaand from us - Summer transfer window roundup: analysing the deadline day five | Arsenal Report
Arteta wasn’t the top assister at Everton last season, but he had the most amount of key passes per game (2) in the squad, often linking up long passes with top assister Leighton Baines. He also had the top pass completion rate, highest amount of average passes per game (50.8), and an astonishing 5 successful long passes per match.
[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]In terms of creativity, Arteta created a total of 58 overall chances last Premier League season, almost doubling the amount of second-placed Tim Cahill’s 36 chances created in midfield. Speaking of midfield, Arteta had the highest amount of open play passes, pass completion, crosses, crossing accuracy, assists, set play chances created and minutes per chance created out of all Everton’s midfielders.[/FONT]

If it isn't bad enough for Everton, they'll have to pay £200k-300k to Barcelona from the £10m they got from Arteta over training fees -OnaFM
as for Per Mekasacker (lol sp), besides mobility, he's a good cb with aerial help lol, both for nation team and his former club Bremen.
but in the WC2010 with germany, he was pretty quite tbh, like i didnt see him tackle allot, and yeah Germany were offensively good(Germany trashes Argentina and England, 4-1 and 4-0. LOL) (Muller and Ozil !!!!!!).
hopefully yossi plays how he was at Liverpool. didnt see much of him at Chelsea.
and arteta was also the man to be for cesc. lol knew it few years back when the rumor was comming. obiously hamsik could have done the job more better, with still good years ahead of him. maybe next time

Wth?! That much for training fees? Since when? for gods sake like they need the ****** money.
Fans are fickle and quickly forget what a player did for or against their club when they switch sides. I find that pathetic, but there's not much you can do about that.
I think we should've got more money from the transfer, we should've toughened up and tried to milk as much money as we could from Arsenal, seeing as it was a last-minute deal and they were in dire need of someone like Arteta. Another thing that bugs me is the fact that it went through in the last minute, leaving us no chance of finding a replacement in time, and it's going to be costly, maybe not relegation costly, but certainly enough to dent our chances of getting a top-half finish.
Anyways, I can't but wish Mikel all the best in his Arsenal career (bar the 2 games per season when you face Everton!) and hope Xavi, Iniesta, Xabi Alonso, Borja Valero and Fabregas get injured simultaneously and he gets called up for Spain.

That's true. Hope Mikel flops against us
i've just tempted fate haven't I
We'll just have to wait and see
Heard about that as well, they were happy with the fee but as you said there wasn't time to replace him.
I imagine we'll go back for him in one of the next two windows.

Will be interesting to see if Spain do pick Arteta now he's signed for Arsenal.
I remember Saha only got called up to France when he signed for United.

It seems very personal for Lille, expect there will need to be some good diplomatic work from Arsenal
this. but im worried it might not happen, with fabregas next in line for xavi's seat for spain.
nad like i saw in the WC 2010 most players are from barca. lmao. i hope arteta's age is not a problemo. 29 yrs old and no international caps

I doubt they'd consider Cole to be more than rotation player. I'd expect them to start circling around players like Xherdan Shaqiri or Antoine Griezmann to replace Hazard. I think they'll keep him as long as they are in CL.
