It is safe to say Newcastle aren’t very happy with our bid for Yohan Cabaye and I can understand why. Manager Alan Pardew has lambasted the bid but it is owner Mike Ashley who has said the comedy gold line.

The founder of Sports Direct apparently responded to our bid with the words:

“Which part of him do you want to buy?” [for £10m]

It comes just a few weeks after Liverpool owner John Henry’s tweet:

“What do you think they’re smoking over there at Emirates?”

After the disappointing start to the season we’re apparently making bids for players now, Cabaye for £10.2mil and if you believe twitter a €20mil bid for Pogba.

While as a combination that’d be a great set of signings I think there are smarter deals to be done and knowing Wenger, he’s probably looking at how we can make smart deals for players, well listen up.

It’s no doubt that we need at least 4/5 in with our current lack of depth so here are some options that personally I think would all be valuable additions.

We need a goalkeeper, right back, centre back or someone to cover both (risky but a likely option), a defensive midfielder, a creative spark or goal scoring midfielder (not having a Frank Lampard esc midfielder is making me sick), a winger and undoubtedly a striker.

It isn’t just us fans that are begging Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal board to ‘spend some f*cking money’, the current players have been as well. And like us they’ve been making hints all summer.

It was made public that the North London club had a large sum of money to spend and now Olivier Giroud has come out and spoke about our need to strengthen.

He said: “In my opinion, it’s necessary for the club to recruit another striker. Obviously I think about it a little bit. It may change the play one day, especially if it’s a high profile signing.

“It’s useless lamenting this though. I know what I have to do and what I’m capable of. I’m focusing on me and my work. The coach is counting on me, so I don’t think too much.”

After the first £10million bid for French international midfielder Yohan Cabaye was rejected, Arsene Wenger is reportedly preparing an improved offer of around £15 million.

Cabaye has impressed in his spell at Newcastle United, with the North East winning 44.1% of their Premier League games with Cabaye starting, compared to just 23.6% without him.

However reports that the Magpies will not sell for anything under £30million could quash any deal happening all together.

Jamie Carragher made his debut on Monday Night Football last night and it is fair to say he tore into our transfer policy and if I am being honest, he hit the nail on the head perfectly.

As we revealed yesterday, there is interest in Paul Pogba and we have made a 'derisory' bid for Newcastle’s Yohan Cabaye. The latter was the cause of Carragher’s rant.

Talking about Arsenal’s hugely disappointing home defeat to Aston Villa, the topic moved onto transfers and the former Liverpool defender left nothing behind.
