Wages are actually £90k per week, but performance related bonuses and whatnot bump it up.

And apparently we're in talks with several clubs about unloading some of our crap.

The wages will make it hard to get ride of them unless we sell them for less which I dont mind as long as we get rid of them.

I dont know why but I rather keep Arshivan.

If Podolski comes, Arshavin is gone. And it's a great replacement tbh.

To start off with a LOL-worthy rumor,that too coming from talkSPORT

Arsenal and Chelsea target Nuri Sahin is wanted by big-spending Malaga, according to reports in Spain.

Please, please Juventus buy him, he is on off the best CB in the world, we would take any offer. If they want we can give the Squillaci for free also.
