Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 2h
While you stand-by for my Arsenal huge news,at 11.35 UK on @bbc5live I'll talk about The Strange Case of Benjamin Button in italian football

So 11:35 PM then? This is gonna be so :facepalm:

EDIT: Some on Twitter are saying it's at 2:30PM UK time so an hour and a half from now.

By the way, Balotelli becomes even more plausible when you take into consideration the financial implications of Milan missing out on Champions League football as it seems they are destined to. This being in addition to the money problems they're already having.

(They're 18 points off of CL spot with 15 games to play.)

If this tancredi guy *bleep* ups, ill never trust him again lol. leading us on like this is incredible. it better be good, i thinks its somethng to do with balo, i mean who else? hes italian who follows seria A news right? and balo is the only seria A striker what would possibly become available.

The major news is Wenger has signed a 10m year contract and many lucky fans get to pay double next season so he can stay at Arsenal. cheers

Like I said earlier in this thread - there are tons of circumstantial reasons why Balotelli-to-Arsenal makes sense, or to be more accurate, makes a good news story/speculation.

We'll see if anything materializes in that area though. I'm not holding my breath.

Also, I'm quite intrigued to see what Palmeri reveals since he's been promoting this so heavily for a week, so it makes for good spectacle, but I expect it to be something kind of lame and/or vague. Don't get your hopes up or "trust" him, guys. He's just a fluff journalist who maybe sometimes gets a couple things right.

That's probably it indeed.

If the big news is Wenger has signed a new contract, I dont want to hear about it now. Wenger would never leave Arsenal, we all know that.

by Hapless_Hans Fri Feb 14, 2014 2:34 pm

I think he's saying Van Persie wants to return, and Wenger welcomes him. I don't speak Italian though.

by MJ Fri Feb 14, 2014 2:49 pm

Within the next 45 minutes we'll know. @DarrenArsenal1 says it's not AW contract or news from Italy. He says Arsenal fans will have "a lot to talk about."

Also says nothing to do with Usmanov as someone asked.

by Raptorgunner Fri Feb 14, 2014 2:51 pm

Probably Diaby retiring? Sad

Wenger and a new 3 year deal at £7.5m is a complete farce. He doesn't deserve that kind of money in no way shape of form.

He should take a £3m pay cut, use the £3m to offset extortionate ticket, and repay the flippin fans!

by Hapless_Hans Fri Feb 14, 2014 2:59 pm

it's some speculation bullshit about a Van Persie return I think.
so, double anticlimax for you guys.

by urbaNRoots Fri Feb 14, 2014 3:01 pm

Hahahahahahaha, take a pay cut and repay the fans... Laughing

by sportsczy Fri Feb 14, 2014 3:02 pm

Balotelli is fool's gold. He has talent... he makes you dream... and invariably, he falls apart. If he can't get it together in Milan, he'll never get it together. Just doesn't have the mental qualities and commitement needed to be a top player consistently.

Wenger should spend the money on Benzema if Madrid go for Suarez... or Draxler so that the CF doesn't need to carry the full scoring load.

by MJ Fri Feb 14, 2014 3:06 pm

Yeah, you called it Hans.

by S Fri Feb 14, 2014 3:13 pm

A crippled and disgraced RVP is still better to have than Balotelli in my view.

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Feb 14, 2014 3:15 pm

Agreed

Tbh, playing voluntarily with 10 men and benching Giroud is better than the current situation

Plus, if you get Balo and think you can rely on him regularly, I've got some bad news for you.

The Arsenal wing back is an interesting profile, the nerazzurri see him as a good addition for next season. But at the moment it appears Sagna is close to extending with Arsenal: the negotiation between the French player and the London based club is progressing well, they are expected to close the deal on an extension soon. Inter is however monitoring the situation.

Arsenal fans are extorted. If we actually competed and made a genuine effort to sign good players, this wouldnt be such an ongoing issue.

You know what I'm saying makes sense

If Wenger takes him back, Wenger should leave Arsenal.

There is only place for one of them.

Still waiting on Tancredi to say it himself.

RVP back to Arsenal...Wenger doing Harry Redknapp-style refunds?

How....about....signing a fvcking competent forward we can all enjoy to watch!
