Given how nondescript the January transfer window was, do we think that Jim White is sitting at home

[Berni]

now in his pants crying?

I do hope so.

Garry Monk should be at home crying in his pants imo

but with little accuracy with the shoe polish

[Peter]

[Ben.]

his choices were Hull, Stoke and QPR I would have thought he'd be "buzzin".

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

No chance.

[Peter]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

he was better than Walcott :hehe:

[Berni]

[Luis Anaconda]

He'll score against us on Saturday won't he :cry:

[Luis Anaconda]

[Peter]

Which is arguably more absurd.

sign da ting

[Berni]

I've never heard of any of the 'celebrities' they're supposed to be, they seem to be of a quite appalling quality.

[PSRB]

which would upset anyone

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Or if we are again willing to up his deal.

Took us long enough to agree that last time and now with a further increment??

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

It is how football rolls all the same.

Theo's last big payday.

[Ben.]

[PSRB]

but then I guess he could (rightly) say that he was under contract and it's sort of what we were obliged to do

[Monty91]

loan could leave us with the same problems upfront as we've had in defence in terms of numbers.

Yeah, that leaves us with just the five players who can play centrally upfront.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

by the return of Walcott and Ozil, and Akpom has been promoted with Sanogo going on loan. He's a bostonbrian basically.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

He certainly drove a hard bargain last time so would expect the same again.

The 'loyalty' we showed him during his injury was nothing more than every club in the world would do, as you indeed say.

I would like to think he can see how close we are and the huge part he may play in the next step, but then he could just as easily see pound signs.

Messy business. Pay him loads and others come knocking at AW's door etc.

[Luis Anaconda]

bench for a Premier League game is a 19-year-old striker who has never started a competitive game for us. I mean that would be absolutely ludicrous.

[Monty91]

and two on the pitch for one position.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I may have another go.

[Luis Anaconda]

stronger options on the bench. It seems a bit extreme for all three to go out on loan, which is all he is saying. Hardly majorly controversial

[Pokster]

c**t

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The man is the living embodiment of c**titude.

[Pokster]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

what do you do with the other three then? Keep them around incase you have a couple of tight hamstrings one week?

[PSRB]

I have not a clue

[Luis Anaconda]

But I take your point. I wouldn't have kept all three - one of Poldi or Campbell would have done. Akpom replacing Sanogo is good for both imo. Just seemed to go from one extreme to another. Would you really be happy if we were 1-0 down on Saturday and Akpom was the only forward on the bench? Remember this is Arsenal and injuries we are talking about

[Brentwood]

[PSRB]

up front for England at the last Euros......

I have no more to say

[Ashberto]

and goals as we were that he can demand top, top monies.

If The Ox could score goals he would be ahead of Theo, whose all-round game is a leetle beet short imo.

[Monty91]

[Luis Anaconda]

[Monty91]

[redgunamo]

No #9 though :-|

[Luis Anaconda]

There is a good piece on The Times by Gabriele Marcotti as well about the overuse of statistics and how they are nothing without context. It rather shows up a weakness of your argument when all you produce is a number with nothing really to back it up

[Monty91]

are insufficient and that we should have kept hold of one of the ones we sent out on loan (even though one of them was not even trusted to play centrally and the others have a combined total of one goal for the club)?

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

[redgunamo]

[Monty91]

[Classic Jorge]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Still, having Theo can only be a good thing.

Pounds and pence A, pounds and pence.

[Classic Jorge]

[redgunamo]

And we know that *he* knows.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[PSRB]

*Never going to happen

[redgunamo]

[Monty91]

Especially when Wenger goes and some other c**t comes in and f**ks everyrthing up....err I mean "takes us to the next level".

:-|

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

20m I think is the contract clause?

[Monty91]

[Ashberto]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You simply suggested that we now buy one a summer, which I read as being that we would continue to do so.


Save for a striker, which I don't think will happen, not really sure we need any more at that level.

[Rich]

[redgunamo]

[Rich]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

We have two, where else would they go in our side.

A striker is the obvious one, won’t happen in my view.

The much debated monster of a DM, you don’t need to be spending 30m on such a player irrespective of your views on Coquelin.

Defence? Really?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

cost you that much.

[redgunamo]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Still not convinced he would be ours but of course stranger things have happened.

See Charlie Nicholas.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I see a world of difference between 20m and the fees we paid for Ozil and Sanchez.

[redgunamo]

shoe-shopping in Paris with their teenaged daughters.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

How we would laugh if another club had spent that.

[redgunamo]

Gerd Muller never cost anyone a penny in transfer fees :-|
