I'm still wondering how much money this deal will cost us.
Didn't Eboué say the opposite? That he'd only move away from the EPL? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought he only wanted a move to Serie A if he left us?

As for Melo, the article linked that a twenty five million euro buyout clause was included in the new deal. Eboué would move for a decent sum hopefully, about £7.5m? Working out at something like £13m for Melo. I wouldn't be upset if we paid a lot for a player, as it would certainly indicate that Wenger is willing to spend a lot of money to strengthen us, and that would make me feel a lot secure towards next season as an Arsenal fan.
