Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has had a bargain-basement bid for Gary Cahill laughed out of town by Bolton.
Wenger has tabled an offer of just £6million, plus extras, for the England international, which is roughly a THIRD of Bolton's valuation on their classy centre-half.
... for a player who only has 1 year left on his contract: I don't think that's a bargain-basement bid at all TBH.
I know football, and especially England, has gone absolutely crazy with ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around due to a couple of clubs who have lost all sense of reality, thus having corrupted the market quite a bit...
... but for 6 million pounds Arsenal could just as easily find a player of equal quality, or even better quality, from one of the other european leagues...
It seems that english clubs are much too willing to spend way too much money on a player if he happens to be english...
they'll come back with 8 million, he's not worth 10+ anyway, he's a good player and will improve under wenger but he's not amazing yet.
I hate Wenger, he is overrated and Arsenal is overrated as a club, not that great of history compared to the big boys, especially in Europe.
