Arsenal rejects Barca's 27mm offer for Cesc. What do you boys think?

I would rather ride out Cesc's contract than give him up for chump change.

Downright disrespectful from Barca. As many have said in other places on the interwebz, you would think this would sour Cesc on Barca, but it won't.
As @YoungGunsBlog was saying yesterday, why is this guy our captain? I mean I love Cesc and would gladly keep him until his contract expires. I don't have any doubt he'll give it his all for us. Still, his attitude these past two summers has not been much of an example.

I suppose it's a good thing Wenger has been so bullish with Cesc. He has a "pry him from my cold, dead, water-bottle throwing fingers" attitude about his sale.
I'm still very worried about how we'll replace him if he goes.

"Lets talk about Cesc baby / Let's talk about transfer fee / let's talk about Barcelona, Guardiola and Xavi / Let's talk about Cesc."
I hate that, but also *slow clap*

Haha. I wish I had a talent for coming up with songs for players. Best (only) I've ever been able to come up with was one for Kun Aguero to "Que Onda Guero" by Beck.

Mounting evidence that Arsenal might have signed Alvarez. Just read he apparently had a myriad of injury problems before this year, so hopefully that's over if he signs. Not sure about the transition from South America to the EPL either.
I don't know what's going on with our CB pursuit anymore.

Hopefully it involves us not settling for Samba or Cahill and signing a young world-class CB like Hummels or Sakho.

Just to add to my previous thought, if Wenger paid 11 mil for Alvarez and skimps on a CB, I'm going to fly to London and punch him.

I still think Samba is a done deal. That plus getting Vermaelen back is enough CB activity for me.
As for the question of how we replace Cesc...

I'm reading in Corriere della Sera that he's going to Arsenal but who knows. Honestly haven't really seen him play other than a couple of matches but Sabatini seemed high on getting him to Roma as long as the price was right.
EDIT: well, I just read that ESPN attributes the Alvarez info to a Zamparini interview so that makes it about as reliable as goal.com

What don't you like? There's not a ton of footage on him. I think that if the big clubs of Europe are on his scent there's something to be said of an expert's evaluation.

Love 'im and all, but he's too unpolished to replace someone of Cesc's caliber.

we can replace cesc with rvp. We need to get another striker or forward though. And have RVP play behind the lone striker.

I love him so much. Some newspaper should hire him to replace Dear Abby. Dear Andrei is far superior.

Never seen it, but as I trust your taste I just put it on my queue. I see it has your goddess in it...
Who else is a little surprised at the lack of bites for the guys we want to sell?

I'm not. They'd have to a wage cut to play at the level they should, and most mid-level teams aren't going to pay 50k a week for Denilson. Bendnter is a little different because he's a striker, but he isn't as good as he thinks he is. I'd be surprised if any CL team in a top league would want either.
