Finally........... Reyes for Baptista

[Allyboy]

He probably will not be match fit enough to play, but if he does next Saturday I hope someone goes through the back of him...

 

[OneProudGooner]

Finally! There's now no excuse for no more signings, the moneys there.

 

[longrufus]

How exciting, if this falls through and drags out any longer i will be very upset!

 

[OneProudGooner]

Wait a minute I've been reading that it's only £5.5m?

 

[RC8]

So, he's gone. When he came here many of us thought he would become an Arsenal legend. How wrong were we?

I hope he enjoys his time in Atlético de Madrid, as he will probably never move to a better club now. He blew it big time twice.

I'm glad he has finally left. Now we can look forward to our new season without having to worry about our big Spanish baby.

Oops, we aren't playing Atletico.

Oh well, hopefully our travelling fans can give him some stick then :wink:

Atletico are going to have fun fitting Luis Garcia, Maxi Rodriguez, Simao and Reyes in the same team. Anyway it's their problem.

I wish we had a winger problem like that.

5.5 is that it

as for quaresma, he was touted to be better than cronaldo, and man u wanted him first.

Hes got a wicked shot, better than ronaldo, and if we get him im sure he would be a star, thats until he wants to go to real in two years of course....bollocks

I dont, Reyes is well Reyes, never rated Luis Garcia, Maxi is ok. Simao is about the only player i wouldn't mind seeing at the club, however he is still to prove his worth in a top league.

Well that's £1.5m more than Real seemed to be offering. Setanta were reporting £7m earlier today.

Either way, we paid an initial fee of £10.5m for him and it is my opinion that we paid at least another £4.5m in performance incentives for him.

He cost us a lot of money - that is for sure. If the fee is £5.5m, I would have been happy to see him stuck in the reserves instead.

Dont get so worked up about Queresma geez. Yes he's good but he's not gonna come here.

 

[longrufus]

What the hell Dula i seen your name posting on this topic and was expecting a witty remark.

I feel let down.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Talksport have just said that Atletico have agreed a deal with us for Reyes.

Oh I agree, I didn't mean the personnel. Just the depth and selection problems.

Luis Garcia is erratic, but very good on his day.

Maxi is consistent, even if he's had his problems with injury and scores plenty of goals.

As for Simao his record at Benfica speaks for itself, now we'll get a chance to see how he does against better competition. However, his record in the champions league and in internationals seems to indicate he'll do well.

Is Riquelme heading to Atletico?

Sorry to dissapoint. I didnt pull any birds on the weekend and I'm worried my virginity's growing back.

And nights a very dark time for me

On a side note, wouldnt it be funny to see Wenger give Reyes a clip round the ear as he runs out the tunnel for Atletico.

According to Marca, Reyes has passed his medical and will be presented tomorrow at a press conference.

 

[Invincible]

No doubt he'll say:

'I'm the happiest man in the world'

He always does when he signs for a new club.
