Willian is an excellent player. He was really impressive at the Bridge last year.
Arsene has lost it. He should have just put 35 million on the table for Willian as soon as Anzhi stated he was available.
If Spurs get Lamela they will be something else going forward.
Not sure what they will do at the back. But they will score a lot of goals.


Eto'o has stated he is staying at Anzhi. @ 330k a week I dont blame him.
Would have been the ideal signing for us.

Not fussed if we get Rooney or not,Would like to see Lukaku get a decent crack this year and Rooney might have held his progress back.

Schurrle and Moses can both play up front in any injury crisis but with 3 of
Hazard
Mata
Oscar
De Bruyne
Moses
Schurrle

Playing each game. I dont think it matters who plays up top as goals will come from midfield as well
2 of Lamps/Ramires/Van Ginkel/Essien/David Luiz/Mikel should be able to protect the defenders as well

The depth and options we have now are incredible

More excited about next year when Courtois will probably replace Cech and guys like Thorgan Hazard/Tomas Kalas/Nathan Ake/Bertrand Traore and Joao Rodríguez and Piazon will get a chance to prove they can be in the first team

William to Spurs looks done
Top player

They could be scary good next season if AVB doesnt fuck it all up with his ego and "high line".

Expecting to get my Supercup tickets this week

Anyone know of any good places in Praha to go on the piss?
Will only be there Thursday night and leaving Saturday morning

Paid £62 for my Eden Hazard #17 away shirt this season (I only buy one shirt a year)

Worth every fuckin penny though

Neville is quality, a real breath of fresh air
Carra not so much. always thought of him as a bufoon.

Cant wait for tonight. Wont be 8-0 but Mourinho says he expects to "Destroy" teams if we can keep up the intensity we showed in the first half hour against Hull.
Must have been some kind of record as i honestly cannot recall Hull having posession in our half for a good 30 minutes.
Got United on Monday and Bayern on Friday so if we go up a couple of goals expect we will take the foot off the gas.

Willian to spuds is all but done, fucking quality player. Would love him at the Bridge but we have attacking MF coming out of our ears already

If they get Lamela they will be scary good. Top 4 locked up.
Arsenal on the outside looking in next year, They wont make the CL next year

top 4 as it stands

Man City - Champions
Chelsea
Man Utd
Spurs

Would not be surprised to see Spurs end up 3rd
Liverpool and Arsenal better concentrate on selling a lot of T shirts in the far east as no way either will be in champions league anytime soon.

I actually fancy Fener to win 2-0 tonight. Would be great to have no Arsenal in the champions league this year

Arsenal TV is fast becoming my comedy channel of choice, even Superman/Clark Kent is going off !!

Not just the locals who are restless even the glory hunters from Indonesia !!

 

[StrutterGear]

Spurs won't finish in front of us if they sell Bale which they blatantly are. Already spent the dough. We will make a few signings before transfer window ends. They can't replace Bales goals no matter who they buy.

You don't really know much about Soldado et al or are ya just blind / ignorant . No offence to the blind intended .

 

[The Liberal Media]

With Willian, Lamela, Paulinho and Sandro in their team they will be miles ahead of you

Panic stations at the Emirates. lol looks like PSG are going to blow your miser Wenger out of the water with their £20 million bid for "Yonas Kebab"

When your bidding £10 million less than PSG thesedays for the same player . It tells you everything you need to know about how Arsenal is being run thesedays

 

[The Liberal Media]

Agreed Brimz, the guy is quality
Would not bet against him scoring 25 goals this season

 

[StrutterGear]

You don't really know much about Soldado et al or are ya just blind / ignorant . No offence to the blind intended .

He's a good player but he ain't going to win games single handedly like Bale did. it's like us selling RVP and getting Giroud and Podolski in. The rest of the team is much stronger but they are hopelessly light at the back just like us. To say we are definitely not going to be in top four is ignorant, not anything I've said.

If they get Lamela and William, IF. and that's if we don't strengthen... don't understand what you mean on the last point. Being outbid 10m by an oil run club is somehow pathetic? Ok. PSG hadn't even bid when we made ours so not sure how you've made that conclusion. Cabaye is worth 15m IMO. If we spend 20 might aswell spend 25 and get somebody better. Plus he's had injury problems.

 

[The Liberal Media]

Who can you buy now that would have been a real upgrade to whom you have at the moment?


Wenger was sleeping on the job this summer
35 million would have got Willian
You could have gotten Diego Lugano on a free
Julio Cesar is the world class Goalie you have been crying out for who is available down the road, yet you wont put a bid in ? its madness

Not that he is a world class goalie but Argentina's #1 Sergio Romero just went to Monaco from Sampdoria

He is a darnsight better than the clown you have right now .
Wenger is sleeping on the job

 

[The Liberal Media]

Didnt your ceo or whomever he is say 2 months ago that Arsenal were like Bayern ?

lol Bayern have spent more than £200 million in 2 and a half seasons

Arsenal have spent nothing on their major summer signing who is a french u21 player from Auxurre !

 

[The Liberal Media]

“We’re very confident with the new deals we’ve got coming through, although we can’t talk about that in any detail. That’s showing really positive progression. We should be able to compete at a level like a club such as Bayern Munich.

Gazidis lol

Willian is overpriced mate. I wonder what a spurs fan would say, Bale or Lamela and Willian? (doubt they'll get both anyway)

Cesar ain't quality at all mate are you just going off MOTD highlights? He's as error prone as Chezzer and his wages are ridiculous. If we're gonna buy a keeper we should buy a proper one. GK is the very last on our priority list anyway.

Lugano is not better than anything we have lmao.

Don't blow your load premature as I said it's not over yet. Literally no idea who we are going to get. Rumours of Michu and Williams but I don't want a Williams. Only want Michu if he's playing #10.

Hope we hijack Lamela to be honest. We are desperate for some creative width and he can also play central.

 

[The Liberal Media]

Lugano is not better than anything we have lmao.

lol now I know your an Arsenal fan with that lack of football knowlege

Go hunt out the game against Brazil in the confed cup this summer and note how he kept Brazils much vaunted attack in his back pocket for the whole game till Muslera fucked up with the corner kick

Lugano is one of the best defenders around, not what he once was but still a classy player

As for Cesar, He makes 70k a week, dont tell me your board are so stingy that they wont pay that?

We pay Thibault Courtois a little less than that (55k), then again all the young prospects would rather sign for us and be loaned out than to play for your mob lol

Bayern fans at the emirates were the best last season

Gazidis was having a laugh, theres miles between your lot and Bayern

If you say so mate. Are you honestly saying one of the best defensive partnerships in the league last season should be broken up? Ok. Glad you're not the manager anyway.

Lugano is done mate. He's signed for West Brom. He's at his level now. Bet you were expecting us to sign Scott Dann and Roger Johnson?

 

[The Liberal Media]

Blasphemy mate !
My favorite non chelsea player since Paolo Montero !!!

Lugano was never a top tier CB. He was good, but for you to call Arsenal out for not signing him NOW is beyond ridiculous. He is past it, he is not good enough for us, and if you think he is you're being blinded by whatever love you have for him.
