Official Gary Cahill transfer thread

[cecil.bob]

What are the chances he stays if no one picks him up? The man would be legend if he extended his contract - and kept his form - but will he do it? I'd hate to see him go to Arse.

[Lord Kangana]

It would be interesting* to see what would happen if he got a break like CYL some time during this season, if he hasn't gone and hasn't signed a contract.

*I use the word interesting in a hypothetical, abstract way. Of course, I doubt a certain Mr G Cahill would class such a happenstance as "interesting".

I can't be alone in thinking we need to hang on to Cahill this year, even if we lose him for nothing at the end of the season. A back four of Steinsson, Knight, Wheater, Robinson is relegation material.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has had a bargain-basement bid for Gary Cahill laughed out of town by Bolton.

Wenger has tabled an offer of just £6million, plus extras, for the England international, which is roughly a THIRD of Bolton's valuation on their classy centre-half.

The offer is so low that the Lancashire side have dismissed it out of hand.

Arsenal have turned their attention to Cahill after failing with a £12m offer for Everton's Phil Jagielka, and stepping back from Blackburn skipper Chris Samba because of his price-tag.

Their move for Cahill is bizarre, however, as boss Owen Coyle has made no secret of his willingness to sell - at a fair price.

Bolton insiders claim the Arsenal bid is 'taking the mickey.'

Cahill is in the last year of his deal and is eager to join an elite club, but Bolton will not accept a low offer or any effort to destabilise their star man.

Wanderers paid £5m for Cahill and now value him at £17m.

Bolton are happy to keep the player and either convince him to sign a new contract or possibly sell in January when he will still be an asset because he will be eligible for the Champions League.

Everton are also standing strong on Jagielka.

Boss David Moyes is willing to sell other players to fill the £10m 'hole' at the bank and is against trading his England defender.

Wankers.

6-8 million is fair bid. You have no choice and he will leave for free…..your choice northerners

you no what mate just fvck off you are really getting on my tits you are a bunch of tight cvnts


hopefully this tells cahill that wenger does't rate him that highly let's keep him and try and get him to sign a new contract if not then so be it

Gazza stay where your wanted son

[jimbo_bwfc]

Would genuinally rather he left for free. Certainly won't be to Arsenal after the way they've fecked him around. United or City in the summer.

Be a damn shame to lose him on a free but then 6m to watch Arsenal finish outside the top 6 this season, RVP join Fabregas and Nasri in the 'let's get the feck out of this sinking ship club' and Wenger to be removed ('leaves by mutual consent') at the end of the season, good value to me.

Not sure why you're pleased about the low bid Abs. Only further enhances the growing opinion among Arsenal fans that Wenger is past it, living in another world and isn't willing to spend money to save you from falling behind.

Genuinely sympathize with the situation you're in with Cahill, I know exactly how you feel... but the fact is now that Liverpool have signed Coates, we're the only team left in for Gary, and you have to accept a bid before the end of the window or he'll leave for free in a year.

There's no way you'll get £10m+ for him, I'm sorry but that's just how it is.

[Beefheart]

He's too obsessed with what he feels is value for money, we know he's already bid more for Jagielka, so he's willing to spend more to get a CB, so we should hold out for that atleast.

[Lofthouse Lower]

So?

Would rather keep him for a year in order to:

1) Give us a class footballer for another season
2) Piss off you wankers, with your sense of entitlement.

Or we could sell around the 6m mark in January. Nothing lost in rejecting this bid.

[plymouth wanderer]

out of intrest do we have sell on clause (do we have to pay villa )

[Lofthouse Lower]

no

Nothing to do with a sense of entitlement, it's just how the situation is. Why would we, or anyone else apart from Man City, pay £15m+ for a guy who has 1 year left on his contract and will leave for free if he isn't sold? There isn't even any other teams in for him to create a bidding war, it's just us. It's a real sh*tty situation and I know exactly how you feel, but the fact is you have no choice but to sell him for as much as you can... and if £10m is the most we're willing to offer, then it'll have to do.

[Verbal]

Would you have sold Nasri for 10m?

[Lofthouse Lower]

Don't then.

We're not in dire financial straits

The player is happy

We're happy

If you're so keen then wait.

You don't seem to understand this, but WE DO HAVE A CHOICE.

[ferrarif50hunt]

Would you have sold Nasri for 10m?

If we'd had to, then yes. Fortunately it was Man City who bought him, so we got more than he was worth.
