makes me think this is the year Arsene plans on putting Theo at striker, think Henry and RVP spent about the same amount of time on the wing before being brought inside

Tottenham Hotspur last night sought to beat Arsenal to the signing of the Valencia forward Juan Mata by tabling a bid worth close to €25m (£22m). Arsenal, whose manager, Arsène Wenger, admitted that Mata is a player he likes, remain the favourites to sign the 23-year-old but are yet to make a formal bid. Initial talks have suggested that Arsenal would offer less than Spurs, at least to begin with.

spurs matched his release clause at Valencia with that bid
Arsenal will be able to offer higher wages though if they choose to bid up
