Will we sign him?

Personally I would rather stick with Lacazette and Giroud than risk the losing the latter (as opposed to the Laca)

I like Laca, I hope he is a success at the club. it's always going to be difficult for him the way we play.

I may be wrong but one of the weaker links of the team is Iwobi imo.

Where does MKH fit?

Controversial.

The whole thing is slightly odd, has been since day one. Still Wenger is in the clear here, it will be the new transfer team that look like dícks if it all falls down.

Anywhere he wants to - simply a wonderful football, p. And I said that when he went to United. Harsh on Iwobi though - thought he was excellent in both Chelsea games. The Armenian will take his place

:nod:

United fan commented to me the other night that I had continually been of this voice while questioning his relative failure at United. Been a while since an arrival in N5 has quite got my attention.

Iwobi will drop down, impossible really to argue against though still a role to play.

Wenger has some tough calls (especially if Aubameyang arrives). There is a decent argument for leaving out the Welsh though a tricky one to manage given his contract situation.

Jack, Mesut and 9 others - not that hard :)

The midfield two has to be Jack and Elneny really.

If only the notion of fighting for one's place in the team was in the skill-set of the contemporary footballer.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Good question. Either Kos is completely ****ed in the Achilles area or he still sees Mustafi somewhere else other than Arsenal. There’s a third option which involves a back three but talking about that upsets me so we will leave it there.

Won't be happy at all if we lose Giroud!

[IUFG]

AHarsh on Iwobi though - thought he was excellent in both Chelsea games.

Iwobi reminds me of Hleb. All trickery and no end product.

He can get some practice in the reserves for a couple of seasons now HM is here imo

[Luis Anaconda]

Won't be happy at all if we lose Giroud!

Nope - decent experienced option from the bench. Missed him recently

[IUFG]

He is killing Nketiah. probably.

Agreed, we should keep the preening ****. Especially since the alternative is Welbeck.

You never really watched Hleb then. Ridiculous how underrated he was, mostly because he played the ball before the ball that set up the goal. To say there was no end-product from him is silly

[SWv2]

I expect the summer WC may be key here.

The lad Deschamps likes him but then the lad Deschamps is hardly short of options.

I suppose it is the running around in circles, then up their own arses that is comparable. ;-)

Hleb could have, should have, been so much more successful for the Arsenal. Had his head turned by those loathsome Catalonian ****s

Pre-assist is the term now pal.

Please try to keep up.

I was talking to a Chelsea fan the other day and he thinks Giroud is exactly the sort of player they need. :shrug:

I did point out to him that he's not a 90 minute player.

I would say Iwobi is pretty direct - just gives everything straight to the opposition (lovely ball for our second on Wednesday mind)

:shrug: Thought he played well - actually tracked back a lot. I did start drinking four hours before kick off, though

I think Iwobi could become a decent player but he needs a real kick up the arse. He is a big strong lad but is soft as ****e- he is quick but never really shows it.If he made the most of his physique he could be quite a player.

We can leave Ramsey out for now. He will have a role once Ozil leaves in the summer.

[PSRB]

:shrug: Thought he played well - actually tracked back a lot. I did start drinking four hours before kick off, though

He just stands around with his hands on his hips the whole time, got skinned by Willian/Moses multiple times. He was just frustrating, I expected a lot more work from him especially with Mhiki arriving, that's the obvious switch.

I sense some Iwobi-tinted spectacles here, la.

Tbf, I thought he had one of his best games the other night. Even a stopped clock....

I intend to roll this out with Knocklyon United U10 when the new season kicks off in 3-4 weeks.

New season so we had a new coach on Monday night, FAI badged. Keen as fúck and to be fair very good. He had a magnetic clipboard thing with wee “players” on it and at the end he was showing me his preferred formation and how he hoped to coach the players to pass out from keeper. So he moved his wee men around and was very impressive.

Then I pointed out to him that he had 9 wee men and we play 7 a side.

Have that tactics ****.

I drank three bottles of my home-made cider on Sunday lunchtime and basically rendered myself insensible for four hours.

Good stuff imo.

Nice - do you still have the power to see or was it really good stuff

[Pat Vegas]

:hehe: How is the ear, anyway?

The pain and swelling has gone but I am still deaf.

feels like liquid or something stuck in there. It's very annoying. 2 weeks like this now.

[Burney]

I can see, but I still felt rough on Monday morning. My first batch was fizzy, sweetish and clear and very nice. My second and third were cloudy and really very dry. This discrepancy - and the fact that I cannot account for it - suggests to me that I have literally no fücking idea what I'm doing.

but it's making me talk weird and I can hear my breathing.

You probably aren't talking weird. You're just hearing how you actually talk rather than how you think you talk. I'm sure this will pass.

[Burney]

Very obvious I know but have they been syringed?

:nono: Syringing ears is done for earwax build-up, not for the aftermath of an infection.

[Pat Vegas]

Very obvious I know but have they been syringed?

it's **** from the infection behind the eardrum.
the doc said I don't have any wax.

I was completely deaf before but it's clearing up now it's more like when you can't pop your ears on a plane.

You probably aren't talking weird. You're just hearing how you actually talk rather than how you think you talk. I'm sure this will pass.

He's Canadian, b - he talks weird
