Do you think his head will be turned by the offer?

They are not offering him triple wages like City. Like Baines he is happy and not motivated by money alone.

Been reading a few other forums, and the Arsenal fans crack me up. Moaning that it would cost 20million plus and he aint worth it.

Whilst he is one of the fist names on the team sheet at Everton, we can ask for as much as we like.

But will his head be turned by champions league football an the chance of trophies?

Yeah it is a joke of an offer and I think it was done with the sole intention of turning his head. Wenger thinks that if Jags hands in a transfer request then he can grab him for maybe £12M.

I don't think Jags is gonna do that to be honest. He's a fantastic player and comes across as a very genuine guy.

On a side-note, has Wenger seen Jags' passing?!

If he wanted to win trophies why would he move to Arsenal? Would CL football really improve him as a player? His passing can be a little shocking from time to time Hardly Arsenal material, but then again look at what Wenger did with Adams.

However how he can moan about the Barca Fabregas offer then bid £10M for an England CB is a mystery to me.

Does anyone think he's offered 10 million knowing a decent offer might be accepted? He seems to be getting a lot of flack by the Arsenal fans for not spending.

If he wants an established English CB who is an International player he should look towards a bid of £20M.

Look at the figures quoted for Danns, Samba, Jones etc.

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Owned mate, well said OP, what's the going rate for English players (some unproven *cough Liverpool *cough * cough)

I agree it's insulting...The players we've got will be future England regulars, move aside John Terry, Ashley Cole & Steven Gerrard you're a disgrace to professionalism....

Jagielka is 28 will be 29 in a month, 20 million for a 29 year old? cmon show a bit of common sense. Hes worth about 10-15 mill max.

Hes worth about 10-15 mill max.

I think you will find that he will cost a hell of a lot more. Samba and Co. may be younger but dont have the quality Jags does. If you want an English CB for £10-15M then I am afraid it wont be Jagielka.

i admit jagielka is a good defender but hes i woudnt say hes brilliant. Hes a good no nonsense defender and at his age id say hes worth no more than 15 mill. If he was a few years younger then i would understand everton wanting 20 million.

well as we have no need or desire to sell I am sure Wenger won't get him on the cheap

id take gary cahill and samba over jagielka any day.

Robin, you'd not be saying that if the offer had been accepted.

Turned very bitter all of a sudden Robin. Cahill is a good defender but not at Jags' level yet. Maybe he will be in a few years. Samba isn't fit to lace Jags' boots.

I'm actually surprised it's Jags that Wenger's bid for to be honest. I think both Distin and JH are more Arsenal-type-players. Not beteer players I might add

JH would be perfect for arsenal. Reads the game very well and boy can he pick a pass. Would let Wenger have him for £15m

£20 million for a 29 year old midtable CB?

LOL Hes a good defender but he hasn played regular for the Inernational side or played in europe and hes 29 lol

£10-15 million would be great for Everton especially for a guy whos 29.

Wenger isnt doing the deal LOL Ivan gazidis is!

Wenger is the manager he tells the board which players to go for gazidis decides how much!

"Put up or shut up Wenger !!! A genius manager ruinning his own reputation."

Shut up about what? He hasn't confirmed we made a bid for him, in fact he hasn't even spoke about him. Have you forgotten that the source for our reported bid is Sky? The same source that said we were in for Downing (both Villa and Arsenal denied this).

This is wenger who made a £12m bid for xabi alonso.

Funny thing is that clown Lafa only wanted £14M for him. Why Wenger why?!?!?

He has been banging on about market value and that he wont pay over the odds for a player. He has been told that 12 million isnt enough so why make the 10 million bid ???

A manager speaks volumes by the way he conducts himself in the transfer market and making this second 'offer' smacks of either desperation or just complete disregard to Evertons valuation and the current feelings of Arsenal fans wishing him to spend.

So, put up or shut up.

What he values a player at is not the set standered of what a player is valued at. If this is now how Wenger is going about his dealings then i really feel for Arsenal fans right now. Fabregas is leaving, Nasri wants out, Denilson is going and the answer to all of this is to make a woefull offer well under a previous offer that was dismissed out of hand.

Ahhh...just like the good'ol'days

I bet Bill and the banks will force the sale through

Sir Gibby you just seem plain angry for no reason if you ask me. I have already explained to you that neither Arsenal or Everton have confirmed this bid was made or even made a comment on the matter. The fact that you are willing to go into some tear filled rant over Sky Sources say more about you than it does Wenger.
