Henri Lansbury is set to join Norwich for £1.5million

[AJ 1,218]

For under 2 million he is a steal! Would absolutely love this to happen!

why do you all start talking now about it now? :!

[/quote]

1, Papers report we have made a cheeky bid of £1.5m - we all started to talk about it.

2, Papers report that offer rejected by Arsenal - we all stopped talking about it.

3, Papers reports that offer accepted by Arsenal - we all start talking about it AGAIN!

Not rocket science is it?

Was he doing The Dougie at the time as serving your milkshake? Bet it was the frothiest drink you''ve ever had!..

If he''d been buying a chocolate fudge flavour Frijj from Asda, this would''ve been more believable.

I don''t think he will come and especially at £1.5m.

However, he has been bombarded with messages on Twitter after showing up this afternoon. You would think it would be very easy for him to just deny there and then - but he hasn''t.

[Official Joe 0]

Sorry, but how does Aresnal being linked with Mata and Jagielka make sense that Lansbury would join us?

Because the money received from the sale of Lansbury could be built in to the financial model of the purchase of Mata and Jagielka.  Clearly, having some small grasp of maths, I appreciate the difference between £34m and £1.5m thank you, but that £34m becomes £32.5 which, albeit in a small way, helps the purchase.My point was that £1.5m could have been the difference in signing Mata and/or Jagielka and there the sale of Lansbury would make sense in order to increase the monies offered to those players.

In fact the only thing hs has said (I have not looked recently) was something along the lines of  "Soooo what''s been happening on twitter?".

[Stretcharm 0]

Just after he said that, he was asked about the £1.5m transfer on more than five occasions, so what it must be by now, I have no idea. He could of easily said there was nothing in the story. He''s probably just loving the attention and doesn''t want to lose followers.;)

[Barbie 10,000]

Seen a rumour its £1.8m agreed. If this is true then it''s, potentially, a good bit of business.

And nothing yet from Archant, thats because it ain''t going to happen!!

 

Wise up.

[Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0]

[quote user="NCFC4LIFE"][quote user="Babyface"]Would make sense given Arsenal are linked to a £34m spree on Mata and Jagielka.
[/quote]

because the 1.5-2 mil will make a difference!!!

Have you seen the amount of cash they have on their Balance Sheet?

Arsene Wenger has just said in a press conference that he''s giving Lansbury a chance in the Arsenal first team this season. So that puts that one to bed unfortunately.

[Cantiaci Canary 557]

Official Arsenal website claims Wenger just announced ''I have to give Lansbury'' a chance''.

 

Sadly it seems that Wiz is right.

Or Wenger is saying I want more for him

[quote user="ryan1992"]

Would e a top signing and at that price, cold become one of the best deals this club has done. But, I think we still should be concentrating on a CB, especially now Ward is out for the start of the season.

[/quote]

Totally agree - Ward being out, we need to focus on that. Zak is not been in perfect fitness since joing us!

[Rolf Harris 31]

didn''t Emmanuel Thomas go to the scum for like a fee of 1. million odd? so isn''t it plausible that we could get Lansbury for a similar price?

[Bill 1,788]

"Or Wenger is saying I want more for him "

Yep, that''s it.

Which rather scuppers the sun''s story that he was joining City if that were the case. The not so dim however, might wonder why all other City transfers have been conducted by the clubs talking in private rather than in coded messages through one club''s website.

Still, there''s always -

NORWICH manager Paul Lambert wants Herita Ilunga to become his seventh summer signing.

NORWICH are ready to battle with Swansea to sign Tottenham youngster Steven Caulker, 19, on loan.

NORWICH boss Paul Lambert will bid £2million for Newcastle keeper Fraser Forster

NORWICH are lining up a swoop for Zavon Hines as they plan for life in the Premier League.

The " I have to give Lansbury a chance" quote could mean he is willing to let him leave Arsenal to give him his chance. Don''t see him getting anywhere near their first team and an Arsenal fan on the footymad site says there are more highly rated younsters ahead of him in Wengers plans. Either way I don''t see this deal as the make or break to our season.

[Lincs CR 0]

No idea how respectable this website is, however the quote indicates he will be given a chance at Arsenal this year - http://younggunsblog.co.uk/2011/07/wenger-keen-on-lansbury-miyaichi-stay/

Seems lansbury is the new cody. Forget him and just think about our current team :)

is in a situation where I believe he will make a career. At the moment it is a bit congested for him but I believe he

has the talent to play for Arsenal Football Club. I have to give

him a chance at some stage and as quickly as possible. I believe in

him. But if I honestly believe he will not play this season or has no

chance to compete for a position I will tell him and let him go.”To me it suggests that there could be a possibility come January if Lansbury doesn''t impress or potentially at the very end of the transfer window.However, I''ve just seen that Henri is appearing for the Arsenal XI game versus Boreham Wood tonight - which suggest he won''t appear in the Emirates Cup this weekend. All in all there are a lot of mixed messages.
