Eds - Any truth Asier Illarramendi rumour? Apparently we've made an £18mil bid for a deadline day deal.

{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid will look for a very significant fee for Asier Illarramenti who is of interest to both Inter Milan and AC Milan in addition to Athletic Bilbao. Real Madrid has raised the possibility of using him as part of the deal for Reus whilst the the player has said he would like to move to Arsenal.}

WTF is everyone's attraction to arsenal? Are they dying to be part of the race for top 4. Do they offer ridiculous wages? I don't get it.
What's attractive about a team that win nothing and get spanked every time a tough team comes along.

LOL Benny C I came here to write exactly what you did! I think it's down to the fact that they are in Champs league more or less every season! Also I suppose London is a big draw as well

Arsenal is probably the biggest team in Europe people can go to where

1 - they can almost guarentee going straight into the first team if they are top quality even if they aren't in the worlds top 20 or so.
2 - they get full fan support without the need to prove anything
3 - they get to live in one of the worlds metropolitan capitals (as much as I like Liverpool, I know where I'd like to live as a multi millionaire)
