English Premier League football

Just taking the piss at the comment about prem clubs buying success, no one seems to care that barca are but when its prem clubs people bitch n moan about how its ruined football. Just my observation.
 
maybe it's because this is the english premier league thread not the La Liga thread... just and observation... ;)
 
Capello is gone from Madrid, a manager version of musical chairs is about to start id say. Theres a alot of big clubs with ???? over there managers. Chealse and Arsenal are 2 of them. Dont think Wenger would go to Madrid though, it seems the board over there is impossible to deal with.
 
Yeah, last time Capello was their for one season and he won the league and they sacked him, they sacked del Bosque in 2003 the day after winning the league and they never won anything unti this year since. The madrid board are idiots.
 
Saw a comment somewhere (before this was announced) that Capello might consider retiring if he wasn't at Real. Chelsea definitely seem like an option, though.

I'm pretty sure wenger is playing coy over the whole contract thing, I have a feeling Dein and Kroenke are planning something to do with the takeover of aresenal.
 
This just in: Liverpool sign Torres, paying Athletico nearly the buy-out fee (27 million pounds).

Even with Fowler leaving, this leaves Liverpool with an abundance of strikers. Will someone else leave?

Rumours about Barca bidding for Lampard, who hasn't agreed a contract with Chelsea. But c'mon - where the hell would Barca play him? They already have to drop one of Xavi, Iniesta or Deco to accommodate Henry (or rotate Henry/their current front three).
 
I think the only possibility of Lamard going to Barca is in a swap deal, maybe Deco going the other way. Very unlikely imo.

Good signing by the Pool, Torres might take a little time to adjust like most continental players do but i think he will physically suit premiership football better than most strikers that are bought from abroad. Alot pressure will be on him though as that is alot of money. Anfield is a bit of a graveyard for strikers that havent come up through the club.

The club needs this to happen, Henry going isnt as big a deal as its being made out to be, there is a strong young squad at the club. But his departure and Dein not returning could be the catalysts that lead to the end of Arsenal as a major club .

Barcelona defender Edmilson(won world cup with Brazil) has agreed terms with Newcastle and were also looking to sign Gudjohnsen, have also completed the signing of Cezech defender david rozenhal from PSG. Could be a good season.

wow, that's little bit doom and gloom...

arsenal are far too wealthy and properly run for that to ever happen, with a 60,000 seat stadium and world class facilities, as well as wealthy owners and very much one eyed supporter base, thats a very distant horizon
 
Well if the buy out had happened Dein wouldn't have left, Weger would have had no doubts about signing a new contract and Henry would have had less of a reason to leave.

The goal posts have moved though, the relative wealth of Arsenal to the rest of the Premiership is getting less impressive as more clubs get bought out. This season Arsenal will be seriously challenged to stay in the top 4. By a major club I meant not just qualifying for the Champions league but actually being able to win it.

Although they may have loyal supporters, I have my doubts over the loyalty of the players to the club. It seems like its just a matter of time before Fabregas goes judging by some of his comments lately. Also if Wenger decides to leave I think there will be a few players close behind him, not to mention a new manager would have a very difficult job to continue the work that Wenger has done at the club.

I know my post might have seemed overly pessimistic but soccer can be very harsh in a short space of time. Look at Leeds. Granted, as you said, Arsenal are a well managed club and probly wont get into finacial difficulty but if they lack the finacial clout to buy good players and loose more of the good ones they have they will slip down the league.

This is a big season for them. If they have a good one, Wenger will be tempted to stay. If they have a bad one, they may miss out on Champions League football and alot of money, loose Wenger and loose players. Might seem like doom and gloom when put like that, but stranger things have happened.
 
Damn, Sams building a strong team for us, which begs the question, why wasnt Roeder signing players like this last year when we were in europe and coudlve got better players?? Today we should complete the signing of Geremi for £2mill, while later in the week we are looking to complete the signings of Edmilson&Gudjohnsen from Barca. We could do with a left back next. Anyone got any ideas who Sams after in that position?
 
Arsenal are after getting Da Silva from Dinamo Zagreb. He is Brazilan born but a Croation internationl. Dont know too much about him but his goal scoring record is the shit, 73 goals in 104 league games. Looks like he cost the 16M they got for Henry and mabe more. Wenger has a knack of picking the right players, this should be intresting.
