Morning all.
Reports in Spain suggest that Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has agreed to leave Spain and join us on loan until the end of the season. The 21 year old can’t push his way through the players at Madrid so a spell away from his club could help his cause. Or of course he might just fancy staying with us after his deal expires. If of course this is true.
If that isn’t enough to wet your whistle, how about the reports about Arsene Wenger (or whoever from Arsenal) has made a £6.6 million offer to Brazil club Corinthians for their striker Pato. The bid though has been rejected as his club are looking to get around £10 million for the Brazilian international.
If these stories are true it’s good news. Not so much about players but the mere fact that it’s only the 3rd December and Arsene Wenger is already being proactive in the transfer department and has made a move for a striker. Something which is unusual but most welcome….
Those two stories take me nicely onto today’s post by Allezkev.
As we approach the January Window, questions will be raised among Arsenal fans as to what additions, if any, that Wenger will sign in order to carry the teams momentum into the 2nd half of this promising season.
With many clubs dropping out of the Champions League, some disappearing into the black hole known as the Europa-Texaco-Watney League, many will look at January as a time when they have to economise and sell players to balance their books.
So we could soon see some interesting names being offered around by the agents of clubs and players, whilst old stories will arise like Phoenix’s from the flames, their ashes picked up by lazy football journalists just back from the pub. Every ITK expert will go into a feeding frenzy on Twitter.
It’s all quite tedious and very predictable but we love it…
Watching Arsenal’s simply sumptuous midfield displaying it’s wares at Cardiff last weekend, the Total Football, not of the Barcelona variety, but of those wonderful Dutch Masters of the 1970’s, came to my mind. Every Arsenal player was comfortable in possession, in every position and almost impossible to mark as they could pop up anywhere.
It had me wondering, who does Wenger really need to sign to actually strengthen this superbly oiled machine?
Footballistically Giroud needs somebody who can act as cover for him, probably a centre-forward, but I sometimes wonder if Olivier IS a centre-forward?!
At Cardiff he seemed to be up front one moment, then he was a winger, next he was an inside-forward, then a No.10 or even a false 9, in fact he was everywhere, linking up play as easily as any of our magnificent midfielders.
Of course there are always areas that can be improved on or strengthened. Centre-back is one of those area and I’d like to see Arsene bring in a young Big Friendly Centre-Half as cover for our fantastic BFG. Another striker would also be a great benefit, as the games come thick and fast from now on.
Arsene may go for a loan, someone like Morato or Llorente. Then again he might do it ‘his way’ as he always does and go out and sign another midfielder. Someone who can fit into Arsenal’s Total Football and with Germany being the best source as players from the Bundesliga usually have the required intelligence to slip seamlessly into Wenger’s brand of Totaal Voetbal…
There are outstanding candidates playing in Germany, who would suit Arsenal’s fluid style:
Gustavo Luiz is 26, Brazillian by birth but schooled in the German philosophy. He pays for Vlf Wolfsburg and is rated at €18m/£16m.
Ilkay Gundogan is 23, plays for our old chums Borussia Dortmund and is thought to cost around €27m/£24m.
Lars Bender, 24, of the Bender Bros plays for Bayer 04 Leverkusen and is valued around the €20m/£17.5m mark.
Last, but certainly not least is the highly rated Julian Draxler, 20, of FC Schalke 04. His value is upwards of €30m/£26.5m…
Two other German prospects have been recently linked to Arsenal these past months.
Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegan is 21, plays for Borussia Monchengladbach and is valued at approx €11m/£9.7m.
And finally defender Matthias Ginter, 20, of FC Freiburg, costed at around €7m/£6.2m…
Arsene has a fine balancing act to achieve this January. He currently has a very happy, well-balanced and highly motivated squad of players and any signing Wenger does make mustn’t upset the squad’s equilibrium. He’ll not be wanting to recreate another Rodney Marsh, Faustino Asprilla scenario.
He must also be aware of not wanting to block the development and ambition of the likes of Bellerin, Hayden, Olsson, Toral, Akpom, Zelalem and even Crowley…
Let’s hope he get the balance just right….
Written by Allezkev.
Good morning Rico and to you AK for a really excellent Post.
I too have always found the newspaper transfer nonsense a waste of time, but that was in part caused by the certain knowledge that in the recent past we had no money and would not buy any of the players being hawked around.
This year is different because speculating about possible buys is backed up by the fact that there is money in the coffers, at last, to do a deal if the boss wants to get someone.
A different question now raises its head because as you said it will be a delicate balancing act to bring someone in without messing up the team bonding which has been so important this season.
Very good post Kev…
This is when I miss Mg the most 😛 ; I need some outlandish transfer rumours.
Gustavo again being linked to us?… he is officially shite now imho… wolfsburg are mid table material and Gustavo is going to struggle to upsurge Lucas or Sandro next summer.
I said last summer that Gustavo will not add to us when the media said he was what we needed. A section of fans even blamed missing out on Gustavo as the reason we lost against Aston Villa….
Ginter and Freisburg are in a serious relegation battle after losing Kruse last summer. Le Coq is not doing great over there with the black forest club.
Is Morato better than Afobe or Park? I am not sure but that is just my limited view. In the u-21 tournament he was no better than Sanogo for Spain.
Imho, we do not need to buy mediocre if AW is going to continue to play the same 16 players each week. Miquel is doing ok at Leicester who are sitting top of the Championship league table.
Morning Kev, Hb and all..
Great post Kev, has to be tough for Aw to find the right players. Not only for the team but for the right dressing room environment. After all, we don’t want to see one bad apple go (Nik) and get another in his place.
So you want AW to get his balancing act right eh Kev??
Good.
you wrote a finely balanced article 😉 so simply drive up your cab to his office and show it to him. 🙂
Good morning Lady, Sir, Gentlemen and Ladies.
Going after Morata means only one thing. Sanogo will take longer than expected to recover from his injury. Morata is just a body to cover Ollie.
If the Ox was fit I presume he would have been tried as a CF to see if it works.
I’m sure he’ll cope though, if he puts his mind to it 😉
That is why I do not want Suarez to come in the revolving door which had to be enlarged for Bendy’s head. He will simply destroy the dressing room.
Morning Devil. Ox at CF, you sure 😉
I’m not convinced he would, he’s not upset the dippers, apart from his contract of course….
AW has said there is no truth in the Pato or Morata stories…..
I did not say I want him there Rico. I said I feel AW might try him there. He has played as an AM, CM, Winger and I feel he would have tried him there had he not been injured.
righto.
off to continue.
laters mes amis.
Back-Up for Giroud and either renew Sagna’s contract, or buy in a new RB for me.
Knowing AW, he’d try him there too devil… 😉
Have a good day.
Sagna is out of tomorrow’s match with a strained hamstring, Jenkinson comes in…
Morning All
Morning Rico, thanks for the edit…
Didn’t touch it Kev 😉
Morning Rico and all. A perceptive post from the only Cyberpunk cabbie in London. 🙂
I imagine Wenger will be taking a broad view of what we need. I am with Rico on Suarez as I think he would relish playing in front of our midfield and despite having several obvious shortcomings, he has always seemed like a team player to me. But I can’t see it in January. A loan signing of quality ticks the boxes and won’t upset the apple cart.
Luck with injuries will also be crucial.
Thank you Henry/Ginge, good points…
IMHO, there is one player, currantly in our squad, who is vital to our team, but has nobody in the squad who can cover for him, and that is BFG…
Morning Adam.
Luck with injuries has struck, bad luck that is…. 🙁
How long does a hamstring strain take to repair?
Morning Adam 😀
Sagna has a hamstring then Rico?
3 to 5 weeks depending on the severity…
Time for Jenkinson to step up to the plate, or maybe Vermaelen?
Flamini even, at a push?
Rico. I think it depends on the severity of the strain but, surely a couple of weeks at least.
Sagna will hopefully be ready for the Southern Oilers…
I’d have to agree Kev, no-one can do for us what Merts does, but up front we have no-one to do what Giroud does either.
In an ideal Jan we’d get players in both positions..
And surely Akpom has to start being in the squad and available from the bench at least until Podolski is back if not beyond then…
Not good then Adam.
I hope so Kev.
I am with you there Kev about Mert; His importance essential but is slightly complicated because when Sagna and Kos play together with Arteta in front of them we have a meaner defence on the very few occasions at least; crucially we have not won a game without both Arteta and Mert in the starting line-up in 28 games.
Welcome GunnerT. Sagna’s contract situation is a worry but unless he goes in Jan, signing a replacement is possibly more likely in the summer
Balancing between the existing and the newcomer. As always we come back to opportunity to get playing time to progress as a player.Time and time again I have to mention the effect that the lack of a decent standard competitive reserve league holds these boys back If you want Afobe , Akpom , Bellerin etc to develop they have to play against men . Playing under 18 and under 21 is not good enough.
I think too much pressure is on AW to win something and that stops him from playing those like who you mention. I don’t understand why though as long as they don’t all play together. I know I’d rather see Akpom on the bench than Nik….
But until we/AW see’s how others perform in the PL, no-one really knows if that are ready to make the step up…
I think that is a very fair point, Rico, because it must be a worry to AW that if he adjusts things even slightly by bringing in an inexperienced youngster, it is possible that like the last card when building a house of cards the whole lot could come tumbling down.
If it was me – I would give Akpom a go, if the need arose, it could be the making of him and the team. Who knows?
Does Arsene Hb 😉
Hi Coach, missed you there…
Seems as if Morata is a done deal, that is a loan deal…
Jenkinson should get a good 90 minutes in against Hull, who’ll spend most of the game trying to contain Arsenal…
Then he should be better prepared to face the more tatical/difficult opponents in Everton and Napoli…
He’ll be ok.
I totally agree Potter…
The reserve level is either filled with brutes or tryin to play intrinsic football on pitches worst than the Yorkshire Moors.
AW has denied Morata Kev.
Well that definately means it a done sea then Rico. 😉
Sea? Deal
🙂 Kev, and he’s denied Pato, both of those would be enough to see us through to the summer wouldn’t they?
Time for me to pop off for a couple of hours, laters…
I thought Alexandre is an injury prone player,why do fans want him?
Not sure the fans do Xris :- But if the injuries make him cheap that would probably appeal to the powers that be. After all the way Giroud is going he is only likely to be a bit part player. If that’s the case then it would be nice to see one of our youngsters get a chance in the F.A Cup in January.
Goodmorning all,
Hi rico,
Goodpost kev
ditto ts 9:53 comment. Is Morato better than Afobe or Park? In response i dont think so. He just started learning his trade and switching from one league to another its a massive change. Hope we don’t bother ourselves cause he will be a massive flop here as he will find it difficult to cope with the physicality of the league. Why not give afobe or akpom a chance. As for Pato it will still be the same issue. l believe we will be ok in the striker dept when Podolski/Ox returns to rotate with Giroud. We won’t get in a striker during the winter window but the summer. We have to be patient
Sagna is a dependable cover for BFG. My only worry is his contract which has still not being extended.
You might well be correct, Emma, but as Arsene has denied there is any truth in either story there will not be a problem. 🙂
Morata on loan always sounded unlikely as it is not something AW is inclined to do – borrow someone else’s youngster, train him up and then give him back,
I do not know much about Pato but if the stories about him being abused by his fans for not trying in games is true, then again he just does not seem to be a Wenger signing.
Not sure about Morata myself Henry, could be that Arsene was interested in having an option to sign him permanently, as with the aborted effort to get Sahin a year+ ago…
But if Madrid were set on retaining him, then you are correct.
As Emma says, we have Podolski back soon and it never ceases to amaze me how the ‘experts’ and pundits/journos seem to dismiss the effect Lukasz can have…
Very good post. I don’t think the names being mentioned as striker additions are worth considering. We should use what we have in youth as many others have already said as back up to OG12 and defo not Bentdner who everytime I see him makes me think that bringing him on when your losing is like throwing a toaster in your bath tub when your drowning. AW will promote youth do if he thinks the players in the youth are good enough to join the first team, like he did with Gibbs, Wilshire, Seza, etc.
I would rather we find the right players than fill the void with crap like we have done in recent past and hopefully that won’t happen. I really hope we don’t see Pato, he has had problems at his recent clubs and his goal scoring record isn’t great, plus he is a lightweight and I can’t see him handling the EPL.
In midfield I don’t think we will see any of the players mentioned join in Jan window because most of them are the main guys in their respective teams and they are international players so won’t want moving to a new country and league to hamper their chance of playing in the world cup. I don’t think we will see anyone added or we will see some unknown added unless we are very lucky, maybe we get Lewondoski, we can all dream hey lol
Afternoon all..
Bloomin nippy out there today….
Hi Rico…
That time of the year again…. its the darkness that frustrates me 😉
Has Ktr7 been around recently?
I reckon Barcelona teenager Tonny Sanabria is the one we’ll sign…
What about Emile Heskey?
Hi Ts. I like the darkness, chickens go to bed early and I get a peaceful evening 😛
Nope, no Kt, no Rocky either..
Kev. Heskey for me definitely. He’s only 47 years old.
I rate motroglou of olympiakos if we are interested in signing a striker during the winter window. Top top top strikers wont be available in the winter window
🙂 Kev, is he still playing?
Boo! Good write-up, Kev. I didn’t think Per would be this influential to our much improved defense, but what do I know, eh? I think Giroud needs to be rested. Podolski should be raring to get on board though, and Theo should be shining again, soon. 😉
Hello, rico and ginge? What are the temps there now?
Hello, Adam and emma. 🙂
Hi Agag.
Agag. 5 degrees here. 🙂
That young Adam.
Why not emma, if the price is right, players will move..
Emma- Kostas Motroglou is doing very well… if he can be a better Mirallas it won’t be bad.. a cheap alternative.
Hi agag, cold 😉
Hiya Ms Agag- do you have black friday in your patch of the world?
That’s coooooold, Adam. rico, is it colder where you are? 😛
If we win something this season, then we become an even more attractive club. Over the next summer, Suarez will surely agitate for a move. 😉
The dippers are in for Kostas Motroglou; with the ‘bad dancer’ out for 6 to 8 weeks, I think they will be going for him….
It probably is a little colder agag, a degree or so, those City folk get it easy 😉
Ginge, not quite what they have in the USA. 😉 But click click goes online shopping, you know how it is. 😛
All the more reason to make enquiries then TS. Do to the others what they have done to us over the years and push the price up if we don’t actually want him.
Those soft city folk, rico. 😛
The bad dancer got his comeuppance, all those dives, ginge!!
ha ha Agaga- is there a detox programme for shopaholics? 😛
Potter- our holier than thou principles… 🙂
strikers are hard to find now…
Emma what do you think of the former Yanited strikers Diouf and Giuseppe Rossi?
Benteke’s fee should have dropped a cfew millions with his current barren spell?
Snow is meant to be arriving by the weekend agag 🙂
Motroglou scored against us the last time we faced Olympiacos… he is a big lump. He caused our defenders a whole host of problems too…
Motroglou plays at Olympiakos and seems to have built a good understanding with a certain Joel Campbell who seems to be setting up quite a few of his goals. Campbell is also scoring at a rate of 1 goal every 2 games as a back up to him. Maybe we should just bring back Campbell and be done with it.
hi agag 😉 , ts 😉
Dont know much about Diouf but Guissepi is doing ok for fiorentina at d moment
Just why a loan striker seems more likely in Jan potter, although I’d rather see someone like Suarez signed up…
Adam, I knew that as soon as I threw your ‘old fave’ Emile, into the mix, that you’d be enthused at the thought of the Great Heskey in an Arsenal shirt…
How is the biography of Robert Mugabe going mate? 😀
I still don’t understand why, when JC had his work permit, that we sent him on loan and signed a player who sits alongside Diaby in the Drs room….
Evening all, Negative views again i’m sorry. Ak another footballicious post Mate 🙂
If there is any truth in any of these rumours that means that Suarez is definately out of the equation, Also why the hell do we want one of Barca’s Kids that can’t get a game in Spain, If it should happen God forbid, why should we prep this kid for a foreign club, toughen him up so he can fit right back into Spanish football as Barca would never sell to us anyway, they had some of that with Cesc. Speculation on every foreign striker in the world but not a mention of the players we have on our books Campbell surely is not still waiting for a visa Akpon and whoever else is loaned out would surely want to leave and i don’t blame them, loan out a 20 year old and bring a foreign kid in outrageous in my mind. Looking for a reasonable striker and of course an English one would please me no end. I fancy Southampton LLana (spelling) i reckon we could get him for reasonable money and we have dealt with them before Llana hasn’t set the world on fire but i think his work rate and his speed would fit into our system well and in my opinion he has also Premier experience so we wont have to wait a season before he can tie his boots on,I wouldn’t mind giving Frimps a start up front not a lot of trouble he could get in up there and i would like to see chase down on some of them defenders .
rico, eeeek. 😉 emma, how many leagues do you watch? You could be a scout for Arsenal. I get to watch some La Liga matches, and I was very happy about Barcelona losing to Bilbao over the weekend on the tail of another loss in the CL. 😀 😀
ginge, it’s Christmas, I deserve a break from all the non-shopping. 🙂
Hello, my cyberpunk cabbie shopping buddy! 🙂
Sp, you leave me scratching my head, we have been talking about playing Akpom.
And the suggestion of Frimpong playing up front has to be a wind up surely?
Lalana is not a bad idea though 😉
Hey, how ya doing my teenage ninja shopping buddy? 😉
Westfield is rocking Agag, you would love it… 🙂
I guess your going off the Heskey for Arsenal campaign then Rico… 🙁
Shame… 🙂
🙂 Kev, I was never on it ….
Kev. My biography of ‘Bob’ is going quite well thanks. I am up to the chapter where he embraces the rights of the white farmers and champions democracy.
I see it’s a shopping center, Kev. 😛 I like them all.
Hello, SSP. ) Still a bit grumpy, I see. 😀
I wouldn’t want to add any more midfielders as we have too many in my mind, and although its been an age since i have seen him but i do remember him getting stuck in. When i said not heard of Akpon being mentioned i meant by Arsenal. I like Frimps get in there attitude and no its not a wind up.
Not really Agag< who would i rather see uptop between Bendtner or Frimps 🙂
Dinner time for me…
Ah, I know that part Adam…
Have you reached the period when Bob wanted to become a Stand-up Commedian and headline at the Hammersmith Apollo?
SSP, Frimpong gets stuck in but seems more concerned about his clothing line, rap music, all sorts of other distractions.
It doesn’t take much to be better than Bendtner, we all agree. We really should be trying for better! 😉
Kev. You know the old cabbie story. ” Here. you’ll never guess who I had in the back of my cab the other day. It was that endless bundle of fun, rock guitarist and champion for equality, Robert Mugabe”.
Agag. I have just been invited to a fundraiser for The Filipino hurricane victims where they will be serving Binagoongan Baboy?
Do you know it?
Adam, that’s one of my favorite dishes. that’s braised pork in fermented shrimp paste. Yum. I love kare-kare and lengua estofado as well.
The German fiance of my best friend haaaates Filipino food with a vehemence though. 😀 He doesn’t understand how we could eat the food we eat with such gusto.
Agag. Unfortunately it is on the same evening we play Chelsea so I can’t make it. I was rather hoping for Balut and chips instead. 🙂
They also promise a special Filipino desert. The dishes are derived from Des Rogriguez Torres of Pampanga which must mean more to you than me.
Shame, Adam. 😉 It would have been fun to know what you thought of our daily fare. 😀 😀 I read so little positive reviews about our cusisine. Hahaha. 😛 I’m not sure who Des Rodriguez Torres is; but Kapampangans/Pampangueños (people from Pampanga) are known to be great cooks.
God bless twitter. Van greedy hands in a transfer request because he is not happy with moyes method of training, only on twitter.
Agag. I just looked up your fave dishes and you guys do like to use every bit of the animal don’t you? 🙂
Odd about the German chap. A few years ago I went to a wine tasting in Germany entitled Schlachterfest or something similar in which various slaughtered beasts were served up, or bits the Germans considered particularly tasty, alongside some (admittedly great) German wines.
These days I am happier with a bowl of rice and some vegetables except when I meet Kev and Lee and Rocky or Rico of course. When you come to London and the HH club take you out to dine I cannot promise anything so exotic as your usual fayre. Will Cod and chips be OK? 🙂
I am off now for the next few hours to play some guitar for some degenerates.
Later….
lengua estofado :- Is that a fish stew ? lenguado being Spanish for Sole and estafado is a stew
Adam, this German eats only organic stuff, with no additives, transfats, etc, etc.;) And we eat bugs and eggs with legs and all manner of fermented things. 😀 😀 Fish and chips sound good, sir.
Enjoy your evening! 🙂
emma, van Mercenary did whaaaat???
agag – 😉
Potter, it’s ox tongue. 😉
emma, actually, nothing that person would do could ever surprise me. 😉
Potter, it’s ox tongue.
That’s Spanish too , Is Spanish the language there ?
I would love that to be true emma…
rico – I wouldn’t love it to be true. I want him to stay and finish midtable with the manures. The icing in the cake will be vangreedy seeing us lifting the trophy at the end of the season
Night Adam.
You can be so cruel sometimes emma 😉 😉
rico – 😉
The Spanish were here for almost four hundred years, potter, so there are inevitably imprints of its influence. Like we still refer to a table and chair as mesa/silla, refer to driving gears in Spanish, count and tell time in Spanish, have some Spanish(ish) food, but no one really speaks the language anymore.
Europa League for v. Pursey sounds about right. 😀
Ha ha agag, I’d love to see that too. If they finish that high 😉
Interesting Agag , I love the derivation of languages and am fascinated to see the way various words cross over with similar meanings . Spanish and South American spanish are nearly the same but not quite. When I was in Mexico just south of Tijuana I was asked where I got my Spanish and when I answered Barcelona they said Venezuela and when I said no Spain they seemed very surprised.
rico, because Manure has a history of having refs in their pockets, I think they would make it to Europa League. 😉 But barely. Then Rooney will hand in a transfer request, and Manure will be exactly like Liverpoop. 😀 Unable to get into the top 4. Hahaha.
That would be my perfect season agag, as long as we top the table… Oh, and spurs somewhere near the bottom… 😉
That is interesting, potter. 🙂 My mom says Spanish was mandatory at university here until the 70’s. There’s a pidgin Spanish dialect in the south of the Phils, Chavacano.
Here’s how it sounds. Mishmashy is what:
Morning guys.
Is there any reason at all not to give Vermaelen a crack up front?
Big guy.
Great header.
Good engine.
Cracking left foot.
Sound familiar?
rico, I do not even worry about the Spuds. they’re good on paper, but see how they have collapsed.
I think we will get at least four points v. the Manc Chavs and the original Chavs. We will top our group in CL, too. And then we’d bring in Lew/Suarez. 😛 Preferably, the latter since he isn’t cup-tied. And then we shall dominate English and European football for years and years to come. Hahaha. A girl can dream.
Stay positive Agag 🙂
You need to tell AW Scott 😉
That’s a big dream there agag. Lew would be a fab after Christmas gift eh….
As a CB, Jedinak anyone?
Now, i AM raising him because he is an Aussie.
I don’t watch many games in the league not involving Arsenal, but have obviously seen plenty of this guy, so can at least offer an opinion.
Tough, no nonsense player with a bit of class.
Cheap, as well.
I know, Rico.
I honestly think he is worth a go.
He would definitely be a better option than Bendtner….yes, even i can no longer find any reason to support him.
Can’t comment Scott, I know nothing about him…
You are a better option than Bendtner Scott 😉
I’m off for the day guys and gals…
Night all….
Sean is better than me 🙂
Night Rico.
Chamakh just scored.
These days, our boys give me good reason to feel positive, Scott. 🙂 🙂 How’s Sean?? Someone from the AFC Academy should go see him play. He’ll be the next big thing from Oz. 🙂
Some days, I feel like we should have just stuck it out with Chamakh. There was a time when he was fondly referred to as Chamakaka. 😉 When he actually knew how to score!!
Nightynight, rico. 🙂 🙂
Does that relate to the wrong or right time to get a miracle,
I changed pidi to puede and mali to malo/mala, it’s probably very wrong but always fun to have the courage to make mistakes.
Chamakh fell foul to RVP and Wenger’s need to play as many midfielders as he could because we didn’t and probably still haven’t the Gilberto , Edu, Vieira type player that could knit the play with a bit of force. This meant he sat out most games and got disenchanted and lost interest. Had we played him up front with RVP in the no 10 role with a powerful midfielder he probably had the potential to be a regular goalscorer.
potter, you’re right! From what I can make out of the song, the singer is asking for a miracle so that she can reverse things, and right a mistake. 🙂 🙂 (“Ta pidi milagro, vira’l tiempo. El mali hace derecho.)
Incidentally, she also says: “My wish is simple– only that you feel the same bitterness and sorrow. ” (Bien simple lang iyo ta pidi
Era cinti tu el cosa yo ya cinti “)
Ah, teen angst across all languages; they sound about the same eh? 😀 😀
Haha Agag,
You never know, and you have to dream, i reckon 🙂
Agreed Potter.
Chamakh was much better than plenty of people now suggest.
What I like about Chamakh is that he’s never spoken ill of our club. The Nasris, Clichys, v. Purseys of this world are absolutely without class.
hello everyone
how many players were linked to us for January?
I believe in that midfield from WBA and we will see the rest…
Hello, JM. 🙂 Which player??
Malumbu
Mulumbu has said that he was misquoted by the French press, JM. Too much coffee for them, I think. 😀 😀
We continue to be linked to Micah Richards.
not interesting.
Next we will be linking to Cristiano Ronaldo
Why not, JM? Cristiano Ronaldo is a mama’s boy and his mama liked W. 😀 😀
I am off, good night, all!
Well Agag As I said , you have to make mistakes to learn , I got the gist but not the whole context but that’s what I like about language. England was invaded many times and our speech is derived from Roman, Saxon, French and Norse and has a large Germanic influence too . If you stop to think you can work things out but convesation is much more difficult.
Top of the morning, fellow Gooners.
Game day 🙂
Get to bed you silly Aussie…. 😛
Morning all….
Morning Lady Rico…..
Morning Sir Wath…
New post up now..
