Would love to see him back and firing but it just isn’t going to happen.

The 'player he was' was an occasional contributor who had one decent game in three and then got himself injured, though. :shrug:

Its tricky because he was such a good player. Like Diaby, you always have the hope he will rediscover it.

I think Arsene gave up last season. We really could have used him here and he didn’t even see it as an option, or even insert a recall into the loan. Pretty clear thumbs down.

We have a load of messy contract situations that are causing disruptions to the team.
and a bunch of players we can't get rid of as nobody wants em.

and no matter what you think Rich. Sanchez will go.

Yes, apparently, the Premier League is going to vote on whether to end its Summer transfer window before the season starts. Even if they decide to do that, it won't stop foreign clubs buying our players right up until the end of August, will it :-\

Wilshere's different though, a rather exceptional case as he's the kind of central midfielder England simply doesn't produce. Now we know why, I guess :-\

:nod: he did the odd fancy pass and stuck his tongue out and usually ended up on the floor.

I've always disliked him because he can't keep his tongue in his mouth. I feel that this prejudice has been vindicated.

My neighbour appears to have bought a new Mercedes Benz in the last week, it was the first thing my wife said to me last evening apparently under the bizarre impression that a) I had noticed and b) I actually cared.

She then asked me how I thought he could afford it.

How the fúck would I know. Hadn't even got my fúcking jacket off.

Oh, you just don't like him because he's English.
