True
However, he is in the USA right now, does have some 'connections' and is something more than just another Twitter ITK wannabe ... just how much more is open to speculation.
But I'm not vouching for his info or anything ...
I would be so disappointed if we signed RVP, Welbeck is already going to struggle enough to get playing time competing with Rooney, Kagawa, and Chicharito, let alone adding him to the mix.
You're the guy who thought we should drop Rooney, aren't you?
Lucas' official Twitter. It got deleted soon after apparently.
EDIT: Never mind, got excited like the fella on Twitter, all bollocks, as usual.
If Wenger ends up selling RVP to City, it should really make it clear to everyone (including his own players) that AW has no intention of truly fighting for the title. Even the Nasri-to-City sale - rather than selling him to us - suggested this: Arsenal are quite content to trundle along in the hope of gaining CL qualification rather than trying to win anything major.
Cocks well and truly

Read the conversation, I suggested a formation that didn't involve Rooney that I would enjoy seeing. I didn't ever suggest drop him completely or even hint that I wanted that to be our permanent starting line-up.
It was a fake tweet. Some knobhead photoshopped it.
Wenger's hands are tied by the majority owner, there is nothing he can do about the Arsenal board wanting to make money by selling players and having a limited wage budget. They are perfectly happy as long as Arsenal get CL football. The majority owner Stan Kroenke is a lot like the Glazers, his only interest in owning sports teams is by making money and boosting the "franchise" value. And Usmanov that is the other big owner got no power at all but he seems willing to spend, he is filthy rich but so far there has been mostly talk from him. It's not impossible that Silent Stan Kroenke ends up selling his entire stake to Usmanov in the future he just want to make a sizeable profit on it.
True enough, but a manager with such 'clout' at Arsenal should really take a stand if indeed it's the case where players are sold against his will - it's telling that he'd rather sell his best players to teams with absolutely tremendous advantages over his own than sell to near-rivals. This makes it obvious that he's quite willing to settle for second-best in terms of title challenges. Or third-best. Or fourth...just as long as it gets Arsenal into the Champions League.
I don't disagree that it is a lot of money and they'd be well advised to take it. You just had your facts wrong and based on those inaccurate facts you were putting down "South American club (s)" like they were some two-bob club from a third world country who should feel privileged that someone is bidding for their player. The fact is that the global economic dynamics and balances of the past are no longer applicable; Brazil's economy has realised its potential and is now up there with the very biggest - it's no longer an unlevel playing field so to speak.
Lets be fair, looking at the players has sold (or about to be sold as in RVP's case), the prices are not prices that the likes of Liverpool have traditionally paid
Personally i think Wenger has done a brilliant job on very limited resources. To have them top 3-4 every season with very little money is a miracle. He should be congratulated not scorned
Wenger is an amazing manager. His only downfall is he's competing at a time and in the same league as the best club manager the world has ever seen.
I wouldn't say limited, i would say unavailable resources. After all, if his board allowed, they can probably splash the cash and increase there wages, but unfourtunatly the owners seem more interested in increasing profit than investing into the team.
Bit of a myth around Wenger for me - clearly very talented, but far too stubborn.
The repeated assertions that "the future's bright" and that the young kids will become superstars must be tiresome for Arsenal fans. Some players have made the leap, but a lot more haven't - the likes of Vela, Bendtner, Djourou, Song and Diaby are at best decent players but nothing more.
Being a good manager is about being flexible (among other things) and knowing when to buy - they've been in positions where they were maybe a player or two away from a league title and taking the next stop, and he's repeatedly made the same mistakes in sitting on his arse, refusing to buy the final piece of the jigsaw.
For me the shine's wearing off him - hence why Arsneal's top players walk every other season.
I'm not convinced that the board stops Wenger from spending heavily. Seems to me that - for whatever reason(s) - this policy suits both parties very nicely.
I do think Wenger is on a very limited budget, he had no issues with buying players beforehand, sure he always had an eye for a bargain but would mix it up with some good signings along the way (overmars / wiltord etc ).
Since the Emirates was buiilt though clearly all the money is being used up, and he has not had a choice. No manager of his Esteem would be happy going 8 years without a trophy, and having the fans on his back like they were.
I personally hope they become our main rivals again, rather than the money boys of city and chelsea.

Read the name and you'll have your answer.
Gul Ible's one of my most-wanted players, so I'm ecstatic. Hopefully Na Ive is next on Frogie's summer shopping list.
Osullivan is a caf member I think.. And see the prodigy's name FFS!
A perfectly good blag and you fecked it up!!
Is it just me or does the first name + last name sounds very familiar to the word gullible ?
I'm depressed if anyone actually considered that being true. Obvious wum is obvious.
I've never seen him play but he's not going to be as good as Ashley Young, City are welcome to him.
