Arsenal to buy Manchester United duo for £30m
Arsenal have decided to bolster their squad by splashing big for the first time under Monsieur Wenger. Backed by Alisher Usmanov’s millions, Arsenal will spend around 30m to bring Owen Hargreaves and Carlos Tevez from Manchester United to the Emirates.
Manchester United have been eager to offload their star players this summer in a bid to pay off their £700m debt, and the Glazers have struck deals with a host of clubs in the Premier League and La Liga to sell Manchester United’s finest.
Details of the Arsenal deal are sketchy, but reports suggest that both Tevez and Hargreaves will cost £10m and £20m respectively, although technically Tevez is on loan at United and the 10m will be paid just to transfer that loan over to Arsenal.
Fans will question the sanity of this agreement, but the Usmanov takeover and impending doom that his reign will bring make this the least of their problems.

April 1st, 2008 @ 19:18Umm, I am not sure you have any idea., For starters, the transfer will not happen. Secondly, Usmanov does not own the club and only owns shares in the club and does not provide funds. The stadium will be paid off in 5 years, yes, 5 years and Arsneal, unline Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool, does not need a sugar daddy.

April 2nd, 2008 @ 19:04Ha ha, nice one Ahmed, I like it! I’d be so gutted if we actually signed Hargreaves though – we suffer enough whenever Gilberto plays, don’t force us to watch Gilberto mark 2!
April 3rd, 2008 @ 09:43Hargo is far more aggressive than Gilberto, better at free-kicks and corners, a better right-back than Gilberto is a center-back, etc etc.
Hargo could probably push Flamini out of the Arsenal side if he overcame his injury problems to play regularly enough.
