Just watched the Wenger press conference, that smile tells me he has made a bid for Rooney

[Nicosia Gooner]

He was asked about Suarez but refused to comment on specific players,then asked the same question on Rooney, similar reply but with a smile that makes me think he is up to something.

He really has to buy at least one special player and why not Rooney?

[PSRB]

press conference.....either that or he is in fact, certifiable

[Nicosia Gooner]

[Islington Exile]

Do you really think a player with an ego like rooney will joinus when it is clear he was THIRD choice? He is throwing his dummy out of the pram because he is second fiddle to RvP. He will love the fact arsene wanted Higuain and Suarez ahead of him!

We can bid all we like but our squad is threadbare due to emptying the rubbish we've accumulated over the past 4 years

[barrybueno]

now become obsessed with finishing 4th with no outlay.

scenes.

[PSRB]

and you could see the pressure was building up. We lose tomorrow and it'll all get very unpleasant, very quickly

This is probably his favourite time of year - back on the training pitch with his boys after 3 months away. It's what he's always told us he loves most about the job.

Go on. Think of something really funny and have a great big belly laugh.

[Nicosia Gooner]

beat Liverpool in their first league match of the season. I guess the friendlies were a lot more important so lets all laugh at them.

He may be passed his best but to have an entire boardroom eating out of your hand paying 7m for the privilege while delivering no honours under no pressure whatsoever is unique in the footballing world. Then to be fooling a fair portion of the fanbase into believing your a footballing genius is something of a talent which no one can deny. Wenger is a genius.
That sir C is highly amusing if you sit back take a look at it I think you would agree.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

respect it when it's expressed in a reasonable fashion. :thumbup:

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Did he comment at all on Gustavo?

[East Upper for Supper]

In that only a few of todays under 18's played in a selection of the disastrous under 21 pre season.

[Islington Exile]

fans paying high prices do so in the rational expectation that this money will be used to facilitate their team winning .

obviously we are about to sign them because Nics convinced by that seductive knowing wenger smile.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

[ITSUPFORGRABSNOW]

I seem to remember Tony Adams smirking and making similar comments about playing in a back four with Sol, who knows.

[East Upper for Supper]

on and ready for launch on Sept 3rd.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Why else would he talk to him unless it was to find out detail on Rooney.

[Islington Exile]

Maybe more players of the quality of Park and Santos

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Good chums you know.

[Hillary]

[East Upper for Supper]

plus players released or sold at a loss this season.

[Hillary]

you shoot your load?

[Islington Exile]

Plus we were told the business would be early this year.

[East Upper for Supper]

anyway. And with the squad so thread bare after 2.5 months of inactivity its fair to say whatever player comes in now will be a panic buy given our new injuries.

[Hillary]

and we have the players to deal with those particular 5 matches quite comfortably.
