Morning all.
You’ll have to forgive me. I once spelt the Liverpool managers name wrong in a post in error and it’s kind of stuck. Oh well, it makes me chuckle and it’s hardly offensive is it.
Anyway, as we know, his side were well and truly hard done by a couple of days ago, just as we were before them. Goals, good goals disallowed, wrong offside decisions and a penalty not given when it was clear to everyone that it should have been….
I know we have all being voicing our opinion for what seems like an eternity now about how poor many of our matches are officiated but they always fall on deaf ears. Arsene Wenger has learned that passing comment after a game on officials will only get him into hot water or he’ll just read many cruel comments from so called ‘know it alls’ who think he’s nothing but a sore loser or a constant whiner…..
But now it’s the turn of Brenda Rogers to face the FA for his comments after his sides loss to Manchester City.
However, all in a good cause I think as suddenly, Sky Sports have raised the issue over the referees and how they are selected for each match.
Maybe more people in the press/media and other places will scrutinise the performances from the officials from now on. Maybe the FA might have fallen off of their chair, stubbed their cigars out and sipped their last drop of Scotch from the bottle and thought ‘S***e, they are onto us’!!
Seriously, someone other than the ‘moaning Arsene’ and whining Arsenal fans talking about the officials has got to be good for the game….
Right, January 1st will soon be here and Per Mertesacker has spoken out:
We need the right additions. We said that a lot in the summer then Mesut Ozil came, but at this time, in a very special period that only happens in England, you need to get the right additions with players who come back from injury.Â
We lost Aaron Ramsey [against West Ham] so a good player is maybe out for two or three weeks, so we need the right additions now.
We have a good squad and that is going to be vital in the next couple of weeks.
When the big fella speaks Arsene it’s because he knows what he’s on about…
We are close, very close, just go and add the right players to see us go all the way…..
That’s it for another day….
Just found this having googled Brenda Rogers :

Morning all. Morning Rico.
Morning Wavy and all..
Brenda Rodgers?????
Howdy hhers
When is our game?
Tomorrow Goonster, 1.30 uk time..
F1, it’s in the post…
Bummer was hoping the game was today. Oh well guess its entertainment news with the missus.
We play again New Years Day at home…
Wtf are you serious? Thats one too many matches rico. I fear for ozster maam.
All clubs have the same number of fixtures Goonster, just ours seem to be too close together, all to suit television…
Good morning!
4pm?
Our match kick off at 13.30
Yes but ozil looks knackered already. Hopefully he wont burn out or worse still pick up an injury.
and on the 1stJanuary kick off at 3pm
Newcastle scares me rico. They ve got some big fucking bastards in the middle of the park. Tiote sisokko et al.
I have since amended the time JM…
Me too Goonster, they are playing well too…
Yeah plus they ve got cabaye…
We really need to be at our best maam. Dont concede first and we ll be fine.
Morning Rico,
I used to think that Brenda was a decent bloke as PL Managers go, but I think he went too far last summer over the Suarez caper, and then when ‘Pool started to look like they were a top 4 team he became quite arrogant.
Me no like! 🙂
Sure do goonster, anything less than 100% and we’ll struggle…
Morning Hb, I’m not a fan of him or the club but I think most know that here 😉
If I didn’t dislike Jose so much too, I’d hope for a big Chelsea victory tomorrow. A draw would be good for us…
Nah rico i pray poop wipe the smug of that mugmashers face. Men i hate maureen. Plus somebody’s got to smash his home record at stamford shite house.
He’s already playing mind games with the dippers saying their league calendar is easy as they aren’t in Europe – he writes us off and Chelsea so I can see why you want him beaten goonster..
For our hopes, a draw would be the best result though. Other clubs will beat Chelsea at home I’m sure..
About time somebody put that prick where he belongs…..under a hairy armpit. Grrrrrrrr.
Hey when is aoc due back? We ve missed his direct style plus he was our best player during preseason.
Can tell he’s back……………. Such a profound way with words does our Stanley… poop wipe the smug of that mugsmashers face followed by stamford shite house… Piss funny Stan…!
All the best to you for the festive season fella and congrats on the news of the baby… The mind boggles, pool little thing…………….
I am totally sympathetic to your view of Moaniho Goonster.
Since he returned to the Prem there has been an increasingly sour feel to the comments again. Yeuk!
Hey wath whats cracking amigo? How have you been?
🙂 Wath..
Tell me about it henryb. That coont sticks in my craw.
All good Stan… same shit different day but that’s life mate..!
HB, Maureenyo is the biggest wind up merchant going the best thing is laugh at the little poison dwarf…! he just loves to garner attention..! Ignore the smarmy little prick..!
Hahahahahhahahaha wath you knucklehead. I ve missed ya.
Omg thats a new one…..poison dwarf huh??
Ask Rico Stan, She’ll explain to you all about poison dwarf…. It originated from the series Dallas… that little blonde bimbo got the nickname poison dwarf…! I think it suits Maureenyo very very well…!
Morning all, Nice one Rico.
Per Merts seems to have a lot to say on who we need, I would like to see a central defender who has pace, but i know that is a bridge to far. Centre Forward is a must, We have midfielders coming out of our arse. why buy players in other positions when its as plain as the nose on your face that we need somebody that can see the goal from 30 yards, someone that can actually get the ball on target someone with pace that can fly past defenders someone that actually is a striker. Now i don’t profess to be an expert but when we see pussy foot attacking tells me we have a problem up front, sort it. Aaron Ramsey being injured for a few weeks is no reason to buy, as soon as Aaron is fit he and Wilshere will be back in the side and our new signing will be holding hands with Gnabry and Eisfield and how many more. Oxlaid Chamberlain, yeh you know the bloke i mean used to play for us, may even make an appearance when the weather brightens up. Merts should concentrate on his own game and try and find a bit of pace, or help Wenger to find a CF that can actually score goals. And for christs sake someone that can teach Czezesney how to catch, my grandchildren can catch better than him.
As for that prat Brenda let him have his little shout, as after this little spat he will be shut up like all the rest. We know the teams that will be rising up the league in this second half of the season, we see it every year, we just have to get a Centre forward that can actually score then we can combat the officials with goals, thats the only way you can combat them, score more goals than they can award Penalties.
Hiya Wath,
What makes it worse is the way the media suck up to the poison dwarf.
I prefer to ignore the bar steward but when he starts the disgusting comments about Wenger being a voyeur all over again it brings out the worst in me ……. no one could print such a thing about a referee, because it would be in breach of some FA rule or other ,,,,,, but Wenger?
I hear what you saying HB the media do indeed kiss his arse and it seems to me the more they do it the more he plays up so they get what they want, he makes headlines they sell papers… vicious circle…! He just loves to bitch and whinge and for me when he isn’t it show’s he not worried about a team so it’s a backhanded compliment in a way.
Morning SP, get some GG down ya mate makes the world a whole better looking place..!
🙂 Wath, I remember her well….
Hiya Wath, good advice 🙂
I think Grandad Kev had posters up of her in the spare bedroom, he always been a bit of a deviant…! She was an annoying blonde dwarf with about as much acting skills as Ashley young…!
Thanks Sp, we have many midfielders but I’s still love to see a beast in there, big strong DM who stamps his authority on matches in the way that Paddy used to..
If TV goes, AW will have little choice but to sign another CB but if he stays, I can’t see it happening unless Sagna goes and then he’ll no doubt sign a player who can play both central and on the right….
A striker is a must, just hope that AW feels the same way in a few days time…
It’s the time to be jolly SP… well so they say 😉
Disagree Wath, Young outdoes her every time 😉
If we do not sign a striker for some unknown reason… At the very least we need a speedy winger who can also create AND score goals… direct and not scared to shoot r get into the box and bang in a goal or ten…! That’s the very very least we need to have any hope of mounting a serious challenge to win the league.
Am with you on that Rico, we still need a big physical lump who also quick and mobile..! Not many around though..!
I bow to your superior knowledge of acting Rico….! 😀
Through TV I watch quite a few European Football matches. What I can say that TV gives us the privileges watching what is going on in a match but also the performances on the Referees.
.My comment are simple, through the media Italian Referees were always given a bad press and at a point in time they deserved it. English referees were considered to be the best, but I can assure when I watch certain matches English referees are no better than the Italians, in fact in certain instances they are worse, an example of the Arsenal and Liverpool matches against Manchester City.
In my opinion referees should have no agent to look after their footballing business and that the board of Referees should go through every Premier League match and give the home and visiting supporters their money’s worth.
Its about time that penalties, offside rules, and red and yellow cards
are given correctly and not for that minute which could even change for the benefit of bookmakers and ghamblers
Morning La Familia,
Morning Rico, good read as always not sure I agree with Mert but…
SP1, I concur with your input on Mert’s view…
As, AW always says players always want new signings but when you as them with player or position they never say theirs…. lol
I think Scez has been excellent this season maybe only shaded by Mignolet but even he has had serious howlers so…
The striker talk has become comical now imo…
Again section of fans want an exotic striker from another completely different league and style of play who has only got half a good season under his belt, forgetting that it takes months for imports to acclimatise…
It’s also interesting how footie fans are so fickle; Poldi scores one goal and so he needs to be starter allegedly; but 45 minutes into the next match if he satrts those same fans will be calling for him to be sold in the January window
Boring Boring Chelsea…,
That’s the mantra, it’ll get right up Abramovitch’s hooter and pile pressure on the Fraudulant One…
Morning All….
Stan, how are ya….
Mate, I did warn you to ‘keep it in your pants’ and now we are due a Stanley junior…
The question is, is the world ready for the Son of Stan…. 😛
Hiya kev am petrfied too. Two goonsters????? How did that happen??
Wath – Luiz Gustavo is ready to quit Wolfsburg 😉
Trust me Wath, it’s very limited 😉
Thanks Ts, morning to you and Kev..
bonaroca – technology for me…
Having good mates help Stan. Theo’s the same.
Not so sure about Gustavo Rico never was and can’t say I am now….!
As Ts says why are we so smitten by buying foreign strikers with big reputations who’ll take 6 months to settle in…! Why are we not looking at Remy or even Llanan or Rodrigues from Southampton…? can’t tell me those three would not do a job for us…? All 3 better than Bendy and different to Giroud..! All three prem experience as well. Buy big in the summer not in Jan, In Jan you buy sensibly…!
Me neither really Wath, had my tongue firmly in my cheek really after the stories linking him to Barca..
Sp mentioned to two Saints boys here too, Lalana has said he’s staying put though after he was linked to Man Utd..
Remy would be a good signing now he’s proved he can cope in the PL..
Llanna and AndrosTownsend for me fairly cheap with Premier experience fit in our team great, and mixes it up a bit,
Townsend would be expensive I suspect Sp and would they sell to us? Can’t see it myself but you never know…
A lot is down to Townsend, He hasn’t played that much, and does he see his future under Sherwood, given the amount of players they have and how many times he’s played i would be tempted.
Townsend is the type of winger we need SP but not in a month of sabbaths with they sell to us.. Levi would be lynched…!.
Offer a swop Wath, guess who 🙂
Bendtner obviously SP 😉
🙂
Oi Oi Sp, I know who you mean 😉
Park!
Don’t be nasty SP, Rico will have you whipped n chained up for suggesting such a swap lol
Imagine Townsend on the left and Theo on the right…! Potent…!
Young – go and get Young and tell him to stop diving…
Trouble is though Wath as soon as TW gets a kick he wants to fcuk up everybody and switch wings
Townsend is the type of player that would work two sides anyway
Hiya WATH, I am all up for the Saints boys…
SP1, what’s up with you and Townsend? 🙂 Don’t tell me he is an undercover gooner like his current boss?
Was just teasing SP1, I have liked Townsend (Mr Row Z) since before he joined QPR on loan…
Shaw is joining Maureen-ho as replacement for Cashley apparently?
Ts, I think Jan buys/loans need to be sensible and whats necessary, don’t go buying from europe they take far to long to settle how ever good. Access our priorities and for me it has to be winning the league… bring in players that can make a difference and give us a chance to win the league and that has to be players already in the prem lge…!
The two saints boys, Remy and even Berbatov… yes Berbatov, can’t believe I just wrote that..! Could be a masterstroke.
Morning rico, good post. I agree with Per, the team is in a good position to win the title we need quality additions rather than bodies, irrespective which league they play in.
Ts, that one been going around ever since the summer, he apparently is a chavs fan as well…!

Seriously re. Shaw.. didn’t know that… glad we stayed clear then.

Cheers. Enjoy Responsibly. No cyber harrying on our behalf. Thank you.
The Lewandowski shout is still the world class striker I’d try and get Rico…! Even settling in I think he’s score us goals….!
Do you really think we need Shaw Ts…? not for me, a very good player for sure but we pretty covered there i reckon, far needier elsewhere…!
Rico, I agree. Townsend and the others mention will sell tickets but will never win Champipnship. Reus, Schneiderlin or a better DM & Costa/Lew for me.
I like Shaw, the boy is quality, but the price Southampton are asking is quite inflationary and for a full-back as well…
I’d rather Wenger spent that kind of money on a more offensive player…
We have Bellerin and a couple of young lads in the U21’s/U18’s who are only a couple of years younger than Shaw, who are potentially as good…
Be careful heaping too much praise on the so far 5 minute wonder that is Townsend. Despite all the things he has done this season he is not highly rated by all of the lot up the road, except of course by Levi who will look on him as the second coming of Bale and charge accordingly. Anyway if we are to use a young winger that has ability but makes mistakes I would rather use Gnabry.
As for Maureen o , remember he greatly disliked the insult thrown at him at the Camp Nou that he was just Bobby Robson’s interpreter.
Agree with the label on Townsend Potter although we need a player like him… he still young so gonna blow hot n cold but even at QPR he was very direct and does go at defenders…! quite 2 footed as well. Problem with any English youngster is does it all go to their head…!?!?!?
Good Afternoon Rico and All
Interesting Rico about the referees. It seems like the Board and there leader only practice dictatorship. ‘ Open your mouth and we will impose a find on you.’
Wath I am totally with you and T’s. We don’t have the luxury of another Six months to wait for player to jell. We do have enough qualities in the EPL if clubs are willing to sell. For Striker, I would look at Southampton and for DM, I will look at Mulumbu.
@Potter, Townsend is a good player and he would add something we being lacking on the flank. Gerv and Theo were suppose to provide that missing leak on the flank but… Even Adam Johnson can take a defender with pace, one on one and with provider like us he can find the back on the net.
‘back of the net’
I think we should be setting our sights at top level players now. Surely the days of ‘We’ll make do’ are over. We don’t need players who will do a job, we need those that make the difference.
Well said
Agreed Adam “but” what top players get sold in Jan…? top players are at top clubs, they want to win things they are wanted by their clubs to win things and quality top four or win trophies, many sales in Jan are way over priced and are a stop gap. I am not saying make do at all I am merely saying buy players who will make us better but they are not strictly in the world class category due to the fact they just will not be available and do we risk foreign players taking 3/4 months to settle..?
There are players around who would do a job for us in Jan til May and possibly make a huge difference. making do is not what I am getting at it’s the fact world class ain’t gonna be an option in Jan.
Wath. I agree but cash is king and January is the time to pay through the nose. We are cash rich, let’s use it. If you have to pay millions more, then do it. It’s only going to end up in the bank or Kroenke’s pocket. I see January as an opportunity to put the Summer’s inactivity right. Not to buy a serious striker would be scandalous, especially as Giroud is Giroud. To fall away after all the good early season stuff because of financial paranoia from Wenger would be awful. Big players cost a fortune and a bit more in January. But I do see your point.
I don’t mind paying over the odds but getting ripped off is also stupid…! Lets be honest a decent striker would give us goals, goals =wins… A Remy isn’t world class but he a bit of a poacher he would score goals for us, same goes for Rodrigues and Lallana, there are a few and for me the only player worth putting down big money for in Jan is Lewandowski….! Dortmund could be one of very few teams willing to sell a star player all other clubs with any ambition will not sell til the summer and do players want to move in Jan with the WC…?
Hi Adam. Yes I agreed with you about qualities that are game changers, but when you factors all the But in (eg. hard tackles, the weather, pace of the game,the amount of games et al) I would rather we get someone from PL with the experience. We don’t have the time. Or are we willing to pay above the odds for players not proving in the PL.
Afternoon all..
What a beautiful day it’s been, had a lovely walk with the woofa….
Although i have to agree Wath, But money talks and its not down to the Managers decision, Most clubs Board will be looking at their positions and weigh up their clubs chances of top four or trophies, Many will be looking at the expense they have encountered and what their profit margin may be, Winter transfers for a lot of clubs could be the difference between profit and loss. My view is if you want somebody and you know they could help, offer proper money and make the owners think about it, not many players up for grabs but when the summer comes will make them realise that the offer they was offered may well not be there
SP, Adam, I totally agree money talks and in most instances it does…. So with that scenario in mind who do you offer over the odds on…?
I say stay away from the europeans as you have no guarantee how long it will take them to settle in irrespective of how good they are….!
So….
Lewandowski (the exception)
Remy
Lallana
Rodrigues
The three above would in my book grab us goals and are better than what we have and will get even better in an Arsenal side….
The kicker for me is this fella… How about a nice big offer for…..
Rooney………….!!!
Rooney for me too, every day of the week…
Strikers who can’t get a game right now but who are desperate to get to the WC would surely be up for a move. There has to be a few of those around….
I would go in massive for Costa. They don’t want to sell I know but £50 million might make them think about it and that’s where top, top strikers start these days. Not Wenger’s style though I know.
Lewandowski could be a goer although he did act like a total pratt when we played them over there.
I’d forgive Lewandowski for behaving in such a way Adam.. 😉
Me too Rico. 🙂
Is Costa that good Adam..? Banging goals in in Spain very different to banging them in in England…! Would he settle, would he score us the goals needed in 4 months to win us the league..?
I thought you would Adam 😉
I honestly believe there are strikers out there who would improve us greatly, just needs the right money offered..
Perry Groves reckons Berbatov (spelling) would be ideal to see us through until the summer…
Andy Carrol has impressed me but being injured for so long and not knowing how he comes out the other side would put me off, but i do like that battling kind of player. Arsenal in my mind is in a position where a hundred million bid would not be beyond them, Rooney or Suarez would certainly show the world of our intentions, I’m sure if one of those players were to agree supporters wouldn’t mind a no transfer window in the summer
I suggested Defoe earlier 🙂
I think the Suarez bid is dead in the water SP, even for 60mil they’d tell us to piss off just because…!
I’d offer 35million for Rooney in a flash….! he only has 18 months left on his contract as well.
Then again I’d offer 15million for Lewandowski and 15mil signing on fee….! make him an offer that he’d want to walk to Arsenal to come play for us…!
As blasphemous as that is Rico, that little shit would also score goals for us…!
Arsenal can get Cavani if they bid the right amount, he is a animal just like Suarez.
Exactly Wath and that’s all I care about…. 🙂
When Diaby will be fit?
@Sp, hundred million for Rooney at his age?
Right now time is the essence, and if we can get someone who knows the back of the net in league, is no brainer.
Re Diaby : 2064 apparently JM….
Gdna… what has Cavani done the last 4/5 months…? he was good at Napoli for sure but he ain’t no Suarez…!
Wath. You are right to point that out of course. I don’t know as much about judging a player as Wenger obviously but I have watched Costa every opportunity I have had. He is a fcuking nuisance who pisses opposition players and fans off every time I see him. But he is an excellent finisher, puts himself in where it hurts and has a real sense of desire to win. He has that habit of turning a sniff into a goal. I think the fans would love him. No guarantees but he doesn’t look like an emotional liability like Arshavin. With our midfield he could be the 25 goal plus striker that we will need to really challenge. Giroud ain’t.
I think that both of your suggestions are sound Wath. £30 million in the bank from CL qualification with perhaps more in the pipeline and with either player almost certain Qualification for next year as well, 🙂
I still think Diame would improve our midfield too… I know many won’t agree though…
Cavani is too old Gdna – 90 apparently 😉
SIlly question but how old is Costa…?
Agreed Adam, none of us have the crystal ball to now who’s gonna settle quickly or not and if we honest that first half season Jan til May Arshavin was f’kin mustard…! If only…………..
Costa from what I seen is everything you say I just think in the short term would Rooney be a better option or Lewandowski or a Remy and then get Coast in the summer..?
Did you watch Diame today Rico? 🙂
Costa is apparently 26 but looks 50 Wath.
Rooney? Yes please.
Nash, I didn’t mean to offer 100 mil but i meant that if you want somebody bad enough and you offered a bid when a no is the reply i meant that we could afford to hit back with another 5 mill and push them to their limit. We should have learnt that a 40 mil bid should not be backed up by another pound.
Diame looked clumsy today , mistiming passes and tackles. Steer clear I reckon.. As for the forward , we need to set a target and go all out for him but if it doesn’t happen we need an experienced fall back like anelka perhaps still good enough to lead the line and would not expect to play every minute of every game,.
Utd have scored – darn..
Not unexpected though. Just a matter of time at the Etihad too , je pense.
Phil Dowed reffing that one Rico
No Adam, was he awful then?
potter, maybe in a better side he’d perform…
fingers crossed both mancs end up a draw though…
Webb Sp 😉
City have scored, Dzeko. Now there’s another player….
1.0 city
Dzeko, ‘Now there’s another player’ and with epl experience but if only they would sell to top rival.
I see that Fulham are putting up a good fight…
All goes back to offering the right money Ng. We of all fans know that when the right offer is made, a club will sell…
Man Utd won the PL because we were willing to sell…
🙂 Kev, is it double figures yet?
Hi Rico. He was shocking today. Lumbering and wasteful. Not for me although I think he had a few decent games last year when he was looking for money move.
I thought he was half decent against us though Adam, maybe I was watching through Cava tinted spectacles 😉
Surely not Rico. 🙂
Oh yes Adam…. 🙂
I can believe it actually. 🙂
I knew you would 🙂
Back to being a good girl now though…
“Cava tinted glasses” that tickled me!
Adam how’s you???? 😉
I thought we should of gone for Remy when we lost our token rapist to manure!
“Gdna… what has Cavani done the last 4/5 months…? he was good at Napoli for sure but he ain’t no Suarez.” Cavani would add more than Lew. You need to do your homework.
Nothing wrong with a little tickle Lee 😉
Gdna, Cavani has started just 17 games this season, he’s moaning about playing second fiddle to Ibra but he’s got 12 goals….
There’s your homework 😉
This will please you Lee..
http://bwinbetting.com/leagues/premier-league/arsenal-set-bring-red-hot-12m-man-summer,50082.html?
Off to get dinner…
Rico, he is valued at 55 mil, if we can get him we should, he is world class.
Who valeus Cavani at 55million then… I don’t need to do my homework am a bit old for all that shit…!
Cavani ain’t the answer at 5mil or 55mil… and as said he aint no Suarez…! He scoring in France and Giroud was top scorer in France and you reckon Giroud is shit….!?!?!
Put kettle on Rico, coffee pleeeze…! Ta…!
Nor for me Gdna, waste of money. Money we could use to get Rooney or someone much better imho..
On it’s way Wath, can you get the door please?
Door sorted Rico, ta for the coffee………….!
Three sugars Wath? 😉
Just been talking to a massive Gooner at the Ruby house, and he reckons Defoe would be a blinding stop gap until we pay BIG on a striker in the summer.
Remy would be good too….
Defoe is an Arsenal fan as well Lee, he grew up with Wrighty as his hero…! Defoe would def score goals for us…! Hate saying his name though little shit…!
Not trying to suggest that HH is up there with the best, but if this place ever gets as bad as some of the s***e I have been looking at on NN, please let me know and I’ll pull the plug on it…..
Thanx Rico……….. you got it sweetie 😀
See Lee, trust a woman! 😉
Lee, ANOTHER ruby……………. !
Phew, I know what you are like when it’s only two Wath 😉
Loric or another ‘nice Remy’ 😉
You all gone and left me?
Still here but didn’t think I was invited to the tea party.
Ha ha potter, how do you take yours?
Tea with a sweetener , Coffee with cream , Vodka with Ice and Lemon , and beer in a cold glass.
Well that’s all pretty easy…
I used to take sweeteners in my tea and coffee but I was told by my gp to stop drinking hot drinks because I was ill.
Two months later I went back to hot drinks and sweeteners were horrid.. My taste buds had changed so much…
LMFAO. Cavani is right up there with Rooney, Geoff Arsenal on twitter who have inside contacts at arsenal confirmed that AW did try to get Cavani for 35 mil and was outbid by PSG. There is only 1 CF in the PL who is better than Cavani and it’s Suarez, for club and Country Giroud and Defoe can lace Cavani boots.
Gdna, so Geoff Arsenal is the font of all knowledge?? Somehow, I think not 😉
Rico, I’m certain Geoff has the most reliable Afc news on the net right now, it ain’t no bs, the guy have proper contacts, he is also 1 of the biggest AKB. Lol
Cavani is a beast mate, he is the truth, he is tailored made for the PL. If Arsenal can get him for 45-50 mil it’s a steal. imo
Gdna, you’d be surprised how many on here know a little too, difference is they don’t shout about it….
Maybe in your view Gdna bur maybe not in others. Certainly not mine…
Rico, you probably right, but Geoff Arsenal basically confirm most news even before its on any other network. He even confirm on a podcast that Giroud was told by the training staff to stop playing like how he looks. Lol
Rico, it’s cool the WC is next year, you can do your own scouting, I’m 100% sure he is a player AW likes.
Sucking his thumb and looking to the sky you mean Gdba?? 😉
Just watching ‘you’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off’ – Mini’s just aren’t the same these days 😉
Love it….
Arsenal rumoured to have bid big for a player by Twig
According to rumours on Twitter, Arsenal have reportedly bid 30 million pounds for a player today. The story originated from the trusty GeofArsenal who has got some insider information on Arsenal correct in the past. Wenger has consistently said he would bid that much if he found the right player. His comments after the Swansea game show that Arsenal is indeed looking but that he would not mention names.
So which player could it be? Wenger notoriously bids a bit less than the parent club think the player is worth. In that light, if the rumour is true, it is quite possible that the player in question could be Falcao or Cavani who could easily cost more than the 30 million pounds reportedly offered.
Looking at yesterday’s game it is clear that Arsenal sorely miss a clinical target man. Chance after chance was created by our midfielders but our strikers couldn’t score. A striker in the mould of Cavani will give Arsenal that much needed penetration and ruthlessness in front of goal. Another player that could probably need such big money investment is Fellaini. Even though Moyes has played him primarily as a forward, the player fancies his best position to be in central midfield where Arsenal need strengthening.
There have also been reports from Spain that Real Madrid are unhappy with the Argentinean star Angel Di Maria, with Jose Mourinho dropping him from the starting line up in recent weeks. However, he plays in the same position as Theo Walcott on the right.
So which big name player would you like to see? My hunch is that the player is Cavani. I honestly don’t see Madrid selling Falcao at this crucial moment of their season. A bid for Falcao is additionally likely to be unsuccessful, since Madrid can potentially get much more for him from Chelsea than Arsenal. Fingers crossed.
He’s too old Gdna 😉
That means nothing Gdna, it’s just one mans hunch…
Anyway, I’m done for the day…
Night Gdna and all….
Have a good one lady.
Good night Rico
Increasing rumours that RVP is on the point of asking for a transfer…
I do hope, really hope, that nobody at Arsenal, seriously consider re-signing this over-paid, over-rated, over-hyped, injury-prone, yesterday-man…,
Judas Persie and the bag of silver coins- what is the lil boy saying now?.lol
Interesting debate earlier…
£55M for a 30 y.o south America who will ask for at least £200k p/w? Its good we have a yank in charge of the Arsenal because that will be nearly £100M on a 3 year contract…
I was expecting it Mr Knows all…
Edinson Roberto Cavani Gómez is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as a forward for Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1 and the Uruguayan national team.

Well I’d still, ‘go in big’, for Darren Bent…
Coach and Rico will certainly agree… 😉
Are we resorting to names calling just because we see things differently and have different opinions?
Hi Kev. I think I’ll pass on Bent. Adam said we should set our sight on top level players. Which by the way I tend to agreed with him. The only problem we don’t have the time for trainees to settle in the EPL. But again I might be wrong. We need players that will start jelling from day one.
Hiya Nasher…
I wasn’t being serious… 😀
I’m at a bit of a loss who we can actually get in January tbh…
Giroud’s confidence isn’t exactly going to be sky-high, with all the speculation either!
Morata on loan, looks to be a realistic option…
Llorente would be my choice, but I cannot see it happening.
Costa, Lewandowski, Cavani even, I’d take any of them, but I just don’t see it happening either…
Wenger has a massive decision to make this January Window…
If it goes pear-shaped, it could get messy…
Boring Boring Chelsea btw…
Night All
Morning all.
Doubt it that we need to buy a “Ramsey” replacement.
Wenger is consistently plugging for his “Youth Project”; with Cazorla or Wilshere or OX capable of filling the “Ramsey” role.
We have two great talents in Gnabry and Zelalem learning their trade and most likely will make a break-thru’ into senior squad next season.
Not forgetting Jon Toral, Kris Olsson and even young Dan Crowley in a few season time.
Remember 2007/08 when we topped the league and Arsene Wenger refused to buy?
I believe, Wenger will buy; but certainly not a “Ramsey” replacement.
But who?
For today match, love to see this:
………………………….Szczesny
…Sagna…….Mertesacker….Koscielny…Gibbs
……………..Arteta……………………Cazorla
…………………………..Ozil
…Walcott……………Giroud……………Poldolski
We can always rest Giroud and Ozil on 1-Jan-14 against Cardiff at home; plus also FA Cup tie against Spuds on 4-Jan?
Morning Merlin and all – new post is up..
Can you bring your comment onto the new one?
bonaroca say: I think that Arsenal should play more direct football then all the fancy passing which is giving defenders more opportunities to close their ranks. Time and time again one sees like Arteta changing pace from left to right or otherwise giving no chance for the forwards to shoot at goal.
I am not against passing the ball intelligently, but but giving the opposition defenders the chance to close their ranks is not correct.
I agree that Mr Wenger should get at least a proven attacker, to add to the talented players who like Walcott and Pody are capable of scoring goals.
