If this is true, then he is not the right player for us. It shows he lacks ambition which we need.

If their press is like the British press, I would take everything with a pinch of salt.

If he is reported as saying he cannot wait to join us an we are his favourite club, then expect him to sign for another team. Nature of the beast I am afraid.

Newspapers and football related stories amount to porkies 99 per cent of the time.

David Villa said that once about Arsenal....Samba seemed to be joining Arsenal, didn't happen. Robinho a while back was joining Chelsea until the last second.

I reckon he is just saying this to alert Arsenal, risky but hopefully Wenger will work his magic.

Besides i think he would love to team up with Vermaelen and has also said he would love to join Arsenal aswell. So

assuming you believe everything you read

I can't find these quotes anywhere on the web and I'm pretty sure if he definitely said this it would be everywhere on the internet.

just searched it myself, nothing to be found of such quotes

Hahahaha Spurs fans are this desperate

Arsenal gooner your link doesn't have any quotes. Give this one a while. It's a Dutch paper so needs to be translated. I would imagine the English papers will pick this up later today/early tomorrow.

Bristol spur trying to hustle us

Goal.com have picked it up. The rest will follow. I always pay attention to player quotes, especially ones this specific.

Hahaha "I want to join up with Tottenham players from the start" "They buy young offensive players" Now I know this is false! A player just wouldn't speak like this whilst contracted to another team... that he has a lot of love for.

We need Yann M'vila signing first he's our first choice great dm midfielder which is what we need
