WENGER ON OSCAR
"It’s a surprise, a distortion. When you're a football player you want to combine quality of competition with the quality of your wages. It’s a surprise to me but when I was in Japan they had many Brazilian players like Leonardo, Jorginho and Dunga. The competition was well organised. At the moment I think Oscar moves because he doesn't play - China gives him that opportunity and they invest a lot of money to create a big force. It could become a problem in future for the Premier League.”
NASRI: PEP WANTED ME TO STAY!
"I had a good pre-season but needed a change," Nasri told Sevilla's official magazine. "Guardiola wanted me to stay. In my last season, I had many injuries and wanted to start something new, fresh. So I contacted other clubs but, when I heard Sevilla, I knew I needed to come here. If you know anything about football, you know that Sevilla has returned many players back to the top."

DEFOE BACK TO WEST HAM?
West Ham are set to launch an audacious bid to bring striker Jermain Defoe back to the club from Sunderland, according to reports. The Hammers are reportedly readying a £6 million offer for the veteran marksman who started his career with the club.Sunderland would understandably withstand West Ham’s attempts to snatch their main source of goals but they might be tempted to get Defoe off the wage bill.
BILIC: PAYET NOT LEAVING
"We do not want to sell him, he is our top player. We said the same the last window and now all the speculation starts again. He's got a contract with us, a long contract and I'll say what I always say: we don't want to sell him. West Ham have given a strong statement that we want to keep our best player. You can't stop speculation; great players always attract attention when the window comes," he said. "We always knew this would happen, that there would be stories, rumours in the media. This is why it's important for the club to say this, but it's nothing new."
