Never know what to believe in various reports. I read today that Arsenal will have to cough up £18m for Alonso, most on here don't think we should sell at all and £18m is nothing for a player like him. Then I read we're after Barry and some sources reckon £8m, others £12m.
Now Silva for £15m or whatever the exact figure is, it has to be "paper talk" since they can't possibly be privy to any discussions clubs may be having. I saw a link for David Villa somewhere the other day, we were linked with a £20m move and the figure changed practically every day from then until only Citeh could afford it! Some papers talk of "fire sales" and others talk about the clubs holding out for large fees - who knows what to believe any more.
Why would Alonso want to move to Arsenal who are having a pretty poor season by their standards, who may well not match his current wages and who, according to Lee Dixon on bbc, are badly missing a holding midfielder so he may well be lumbered with that role
EDIT : I think it's more likely Arsene will pluck a DM out of the air for a few million and make him the next Vieira/Flamini. Trouble is some expect him to wave his magic wand every season.

Never buy from PC World, product quality is poor and their 'customer service' is even poorer
