    Van Persie isn't going anywhere. We always know when one of our big players is going to leave, we'll be the first to call it. He's staying, its not that hard to believe.

    I think RVP will be gone in the summer

    I could be wrong, but didn't Wenger say he'd rather let RVP run down his contract than sell him?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I think he did but I remember Fergie saying he wouldn't sell Real Madrid a virus.
    Managers say things sometimes but it doesn't always work out like that.
    There is also the possibility that RVP could buy out his own contract but I'd doubt he'd do that TBH.

    Liverpool only have 20 million to spend on transfers this summer according to ESPN today so that rules out Grant Holt. :(

    Bebe could be available

    I'm sure Liverpool have informed people outside the club how much they have available to spend this summer

    Guangzhou Evergrande have purchased Lucas Barrios from Dortmund on a 4 year contract. Shame he has chosen to do this so young.

    That's disappointing. Excellent player IMO. I remember lots of talk of Sunderland being interested in him when Bruce was there and was going after lots of South American players. I had hoped we might make a move for him this summer.

    Odd move, big payday?

    €6.7m a year (€130k a week?) according to Bild. Dortmund got €12m for him.

    Yeah, I think Wenger would be crazy not to sell him this season. He has had a great season and will be considered world class on the back of it. If Barca/City offered a decent price he should take their hand and everything rather risk him returning to his previous form or being injured again every few weeks.

    He is also late 20's so will probably see this as his last chance to jump to a team capable of winning silverware so I reckon he will want to go.

    Yeah I'm sure if he'd been a Liverpool player, he'd be desperate to stay with a club that had just won the Carling Cup :pac:

    While I wish him the best of luck and all that. It's an idiotic move, no matter how much anyone wants to justify with what he'll be earning. I'll miss the guy anyway, Lewandowski has really stepped up this season but if there is one thing I felt Klopp didn't do well, that was leave Barrios high and dry at times this season after what he did last season for the club.

    Pointing out Arsenal are not in the position to win Silverware is a dig?

    On RVP, I think he'd be mad not to consider his options this summer giving his age.
    It's not a foregone conclusion that he will leave and I could totally understand if he decided to stay as he's got cult status there and Arsenal may well re evaluate their pay structure to keep him.
    In saying that I think some Arsenal fans refuse to believe he may leave as Wenger has stated he wouldn't sell to Man City. I don't agree with that point of view either..
    It's probably a very close call but my money would be on him to leave

    Not an attractive price to me :)
    For the record, I hope he stays at Arsenal

    Some players are ambitious. Some are like Barrios. I would think he could have got €60k+ a week at a few teams in Europe. But he seems happy enough to play for the Chinese Super League and the Asian CL.

    Dario Conca is another one. He was terrific in Brazil but everytime I see him play in the CL with Guangzhou he is playing half arsed and uninterested.

    United are going to be linked with EVERYONE again this summer.

    Seemingly Gaitan, Hazard and Kagawa are towards the top of our lists.

    We have also been scouting a lot of left backs so movement there seems very likely.

    Would like a more defensive minded CM who is good on the ball (Martinez/Sahin) and a creative midfield threat (Hazard/Gaitan/Kagawa) along with a full back.

    I expect a goal keeper, a striker and a right winger.

    Curious as to why you think we'll sign a GK?

    It was a joke, they're the positions United are stacked in...

    A couple of left footed players to add more balance wouldn't go amiss.

    Ah yeah. Went completely over my head. Was slightly wondering about the other two also, but with Berba likely leaving in the summer, a striker isn't totally out of the question.

    Disappointed at all the reports of possible departures at BvB. I really like them as a club and hoped they would give Europe a good go next season. If they held on to all their big names and allowed them to progress (most are pretty young right?) I think they could have really taken steps forward as a club and established themselves on a wider basis.

    But alas...

    In fairness i don't think Barrios was as important this season as he was the previous one and I think him and kagawa will be the only big departures and they have a ready made replacement for Kagawa in Marco Reus who's coming in.
