    Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Tomas Rosicky from Borussia Dortmund for an undisclosed fee. More

    Great signing for Arsenal.

    Good player alright, very much in the "Arsenal" mould. Approx £7m which is a decent price. Am I right in thinking that Dortmund paid about double that to get him from Sparta Prague?? I'm sure I read that somewhere.....

    yeah i'm almost sure they paid 12/13 million to sign him from Sparta. There in dire financial trouble, hence the quick cheap sell.

    I stand corrected - "He cost Dortmund £18m - a Bundesliga record - when he arrived from Sparta Prague in 2001. "

    I think this opens the door for Pires to leave. Rosicky and Hleb are much younger whereas Pires is on the downside of his career.

    Madness...it's not as if Prague was a team that could DEMAND figures like that. Dortmund went through a crazy phase though spending huge amounts on players and it was a gamble that didn't pay off. I think they also spent £18 on that Brazilian striker from Parma who's name escapes me for the moment...

    Yes, it looks like his Villareal move will now go ahead. I heard last week that he was reconsidering but the press seem to think he's off.

    Amoroso. I think he's at Milan now. He played for Sao Paulo (sp.) in the WCC against Liverpool.

    That's right, I'm shocked he's at Milan now Would you believe he had a trial at Celtic about 2 years ago when he finished at Dortmund but it never went any further. Not sure if it was because O' Neill didn't rate him or he didn't fancy it himself.
