El Capitano's signed a new deal. What's Coq injury record like?

[Jake]

[Mo Britain less Europe]

[redgunamo]

*As Tim Westwood would say.

[Jake]

Lee Cattermole preferably.

[Rich]

debt crippled Arsenal.

He does fit in with the shiny, new, loadsafaaakingmahhhney Arsenal.

While this is not Arteta's fault, he is old news now. The same goes for Flamini (though I understand Mesut would be awfully upset were he to leave, so perhaps he can stay).

[Rich]

I assume you'd like some competition for Coqulein. Schneiderlin is off to United as we seemingly don't want him. Who else is there?

[redgunamo]

[Classic Jorge]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

But then I am not sure he has ever really played a season where he would be called upon to play most weeks.

Perhaps he did last season, no idea how often he would have started at Charlton.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

but this is football.What, realistically, are we expecting him to contribute this season?

[Jake]

[redgunamo]

[Rich]

argue that it was his idea to go through a period of austerity while keeping the club at the highest level so that we could reap the benefits once we had completed that period.

Arteta, unfortunately, cannot morph into Paul Pogba and is therefore surplus to requirements. In fact, it causes embarrassment at trophy lifting times when a player that isn't good enough to start gets to lift the trophy first.

[Rich]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

While one could argue that his career to date has been limited, in the absence of any actual evidence one must assume his general fitness to be sound.

[Jake]

And rather him than Flamini.

What's wrong with Cattermole?

He's rugged and tenacious.

[redgunamo]

I'll bet you never weep, you know not why, do you.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

This is how it will pan out.

They will have already bid and we will have turned them away. Then the summer will drag on and Cazorla himself will express a desire to speak with them as he is Spanish after all and it would be a great move. Who could blame him really.

They now have money to burn and we have a resourcing issue, albeit a lovely one, though crucially an ageing player one year from being free who is still highly marketable but open to a move home.

Then we agree, and sell.


Some or all of the above may not happen.

[redgunamo]

I'd still sign him though, just so we'd have a player in the squad known as "Catsmeat".

[Peter]

After the season coquelin has just had.

You have to ask whether we meed to sign a big money striker as well. Where would it leave walcott?

You could mount a serious argument thst we dont actually need to sign anyone else now.

[Ben.]

That's why Luiz is the best defender on the game, somehow.
Small, fast, dribbley players are the best, I recommend Maxi Moralez and Giovinco especially, great fun.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You know, transfer strategy etc.

[Ben.]

but I would argue the difference Coquelin has made should have pointed out how important it is that we get a viable alternative.
One awkward twist and we're back to f*cking Flamini again.

[Jake]

I just remembered we've got plucky young Jack fit now, and also wee Aaron who won't even have to play out on the right if all is well.

We've got a f**king skipload of the central buggers.

Shad needs to work some magic asap.

[redgunamo]

[Jake]

Coquelin, Arteta, Flamini.

Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Ox, (Tomas).

Fair few names and Jack could arguably be in that deeper, upper bracket.

Inevitably we won't sign anyone and will miss someone more regimented, though.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

striker, i don't really give a f**k about Walcott tbh. I'd still have him down as an option for the right side and if he doesn't like it he can f**k off. Let's not forget he scored 20+ goals in a season playing there.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

We’ve dipped our toes in that pool and then we have come back and done a run and dive-bomb into the middle of said pool.

Perish the thought of now going back to being small time cheap charlies.

If not in the fabled DM position we need to spend big, it is now expected I am afraid.

p.s. can’t see where it is happening myself. Even less likely up top I would have thought.

[Jake]

Gotze is being mentioned now :cloud9:

The arousal of 3 years ago still lingers for me.

[redgunamo]

gives you two players @ten million each. Like Wenger said about Flamini and Mesut the other year :-)

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

What a pair of freaks.

'His children are his life.' So he decided to f**k off and live in the middle of f**king no where?

Dickheads.

[Ben.]

Jack, Ramsey, Cazorla, Arteta, Flamini but they all need someone like Coquelin alongside them, anything happens to him and we go back to being the ill-disciplined, weak as piss, rabble again imo.
Plus Jack is better further forward imo, he takes too many risks.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

when it comes to them.

[Ben.]

I was thinking maybe someone 10-15m who wouldn't necessarily displace Coquelin but provide a decent alternative.
Schneiderlin seems so obvious but we obviously don't fancy him, for whatever reason.

[Peter]

That would expect to be first choice. You dont pay 25 million for a midfielder and then not play him.

For the record, i think we could improve on coquelin but also think he deserves a season. If we were intending to buy then i cant see why we have signed srteta again.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

There can be no other explanation.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

moose/deer skin and live normal lives. Fair enough if they want to live in the wilderness, but to make yourself live without electricity or water is just weird. I told my girlfriends parents about it and they laughed for a good while. The locals in Jamtland must think they're f**king idiots.

[Jake]

Jack's game is all risk.

I'd love to see some refinement if we get a full season out of him.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Isn't the Swedish dole a bit more generous than that?

[Jake]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

need to have been paying it for 12 months (12 months of employment) before they give you anything back (usually 80% of your salaray for 300 days).

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

The lad in Belize had me scratching my head a little but the Welsh brushed him aside with considerable ease.

If they wanted to live a simple life off the grid they could have gone remote in Wales and still had access to basics, also his kids which let us remind ourselves were the most important thing in the world.

No, he f**ks off to the North Pole where he eats ****, does not even have running water and can’t remember when he last washed. Dirty welsh *******.

Then he builds a f**king sauna. c**t.

[Ben.]

if we wanted someone Schneiderlin was there for the taking.
Still not convinced about Jack in that 'Pirlo role' you need a good tactical understanding, which is why Gerrard was so bad there.
Verratti :cloud9:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

'Fit in or f**k off.'

Well thanks for your gracious hospitality, mate. That's just the welcome I expect in someone's home.

Kev should have kicked his *******s up into his throat.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

pipe to the lake and a pump, as well as electricity. They had one solar panel and said they don't get much sunlight. The sun doesn't set in the north for 2 months of the year!!! f**king c**ts.

[redgunamo]

he had Suarez in front of him.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Ben.]

Suarez was brilliant, Sterling and Sturridge were very good and they sort of got away with the rest of it.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Jake]

Lamps4eva.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Our absence from his proposed transfer simply makes me think we are just not in that market.

[redgunamo]

a team is a number 9 and ten other players :shrug:

[Ben.]

I thought he meant in the deeper position though, you're right him and Torres were great.

[redgunamo]

[Ben.]

11 other players?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

managed to squeeze herself under a neighbours deck area. We tried to get her to come out for about 2 hours but she wouldn't and eventually came back during the night. Seems to be walking and jumping around fine and no blood in her poop or urine. She's a little sensitive when you touch her in a certain spot just above her back leg but the vet said it's probably some bruising from the bit and we should monitor it for now.

The bitch who was walking said dog didn't even apologise. Although she didn't see when i booted her dog after chasing it (it went after the cat when it got free and was sniffing around the neighbours deck) :****er: We called the police so hopefully they put the c**t down. And the owner as well.

[redgunamo]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

She might need a tetanus jab or something :-(

[Billy Goat Sverige]

been keeping her in the past week because she got into a fight with another cat and had a couple of bite marks from that and a wound from a scracth near her arsehole. First day i let her back out and a f**king dog launches itself at her while she's lying on the deck :angry:
