Morning all.
Stan Collymore:
“Some Arsenal supporters seem happy to say, ‘Alexis Sanchez is a great guy, he’s a model pro’ but I am sorry, he is not. He is angling to get out of Arsenal and he is not doing it in a proper way. Like Danny Rose, he is a disgrace as well.”
Funny how a man known for beating Ulrika Jonsson a few years ago feels free to brand Alexis and other footballers a disgrace. An ex-player, who moved clubs around nine times and had a reputation for liking a party etc during his playing days. He’s not fit to lace the boots of Alexis Sanchez, let alone criticise him. It’s 2017, players aren’t loyal to one club anymore, not many anyway and if the Chilean moves on, he must have his reasons and who is anyone to judge really? It hurts us because he’s our player but in all honesty, if you take the emotion away, wouldn’t you have left this drifting football club by now if you’d been there three seasons? I know I would. Arsenal have regressed in the short time Alexis has been with, just as it has since Ozil signed from Real Madrid and Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton.
Has Alexis handed in a transfer request? We are told no by Arsene Wenger, same for the other two but that could change in the next two weeks. In fact a lot could change in that time but to lose the above players, certainly two of them without a plan in place to replace them, would be a disaster for the club.
Yesterday dished up a few interesting results. New boys Huddersfield battered Crystal Palace 3-0 and are today sitting pretty at the top of the table, Liverpool dropped two points at Watford but the best was at Stamford Bridge where Burnley were 3-0 up by half-time and held on despite conceding two goals in the second half . Gary Cahill was finally shown a red card which in itself is a miracle and later in the game, Fabregas too was sent off. Shame we’re not playing them next weekend eh? Long may those kind of freak goings on continue throughout the season, as long as we keep on winning…
Utd and the neighbours play today, not against each other but it’ll be interesting to see if Mourinho remains Mourinho or if he tries to inject a bit of creativity into his teams style of play. Tottenham, well my guess is they’ll be the same as last season as Poch is the only manager in the league not to have signed anyone this summer. Looks like them and Liverpool have a bit of a fight on their hands to keep players too.
There’s a lot of improvement to be made by Arsenal and certainly before we head to Stoke for a late afternoon kick off on Saturday, a side who managed just one shot on target against Everton yesterday.
Any plans to sign Thomas Lemar seems to have died of death, in fact there’s very little gossip relating to Arsenal apart from Marcus Asensio, although it’s reported he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid. In fact fact our stories are more about those departing before 1st September and Jack Wilshere’s name has now been added to that list. Rafa Benitez wants him at Newcastle, just as he does Lucas Perez but wages are yet again a stumbling block. There’s always a loan option though and perhaps that’ll be the same for a few of the players who are no longer in Wenger’s plans.
Can’t the club loan Wenger out too? #just asking……
Lol rico you got me there. I was like damn me a disgrace??? Men what’s with every stan lately? They all assholes. Maybe its time for a name change. Hey adam i need west Midlands name. Something that ll suit a big brawny bastartd like me. Am thinking nigel McDougall???
Goonster. How about Hugh Jampton?
Ha ha Goonster, I can think of a few for you…. 😉
🙂 Adam. I like that..
Adam the oldies are the best mate. Hugh J, was invented by Peter sellers and spike Milligan for fake news in the goon show .
Hi Pete. Yes, I remember. 🙂
Go on rico make my day?????
I wouldn’t be so cruel… 😉
What’s the true geordie’s real name adam? I want that. I love that loud mouthed uncouth northern twat. Watch all his videos on YouTube. Me and him ll make a formidable duo. Talking about everything from my beloved arsenal to where each had the most awkard sexual escapades. We ll break the internet. The true geordie and the blonde Adonis. Wow what a poweful duo.
Rico indulge me maam. Come on i can take it.
Hey there y’all! Good post Rico!
Quick question for anyone who has an opinion!
If PSG want Sanchez, would you take Rabiot and Lucas for him?
Likewise if Chelsea want the OX so bad n he’s def not gonna sign why not demand Willian in exchange!
Lucas moura is a baller silky i ll take off psg. We lack a baller at arsenal. Santi is the only one we have. Iwobi and the pocket dynamite(reiss nelson) might get there but still a long way to go. But instead of rabiot why not ask for marco veratti?
Totts 2 up. They played against 10
Arsenal. two good things in the first match: the victory and nobody was sent off (in this aspect we are in the top with 6 (!!!) players sent off on the 1st game. Newcastle is the second with 5)
they are a few players in the the way out
Alexis is in Paris then, the plot thickens….
Is that a fact rico??? Oh shit
Apparently he twitted something Goonie, and it cam up as being from France..
Veratti would be a dream player what a great bit of stuff!
I reckon it’s past time for Grimandi to be told go! There must be well over 10 exceptional prospects that we have missed in the last 2-3 years
All out of France may I add
Or tell Grimandi just to go Silky…
? my sentiments exactly Rico! Either Veratti or Rabiot would be an excellent addition to our midfield! Alternatively try Kolasinac or even Bellerin as DM
Silky, he should just go and buy a DM, it’s not like he hasn’t got the money.. Bielik is one but he’s been converted into a defender I think. Odd.
How many tackles is Atkinson going to let go…
Veratti it will be good and keep the money for Gelson Martins
Is he any good Jm?
I’m watching Dijon v Monaco. Dreadful game…
Could see one or two of our available players getting moved on over the next few days as dropped points concentrate the mind.
Lucas Perez’s value will have shot up without him even playing.
Goal scorers are the currency.
ManUre seem ominous
Dead right Rico but if it’s a case of sell before buying then could b a way to get bodies in!
I think we need Perez…
Evening all and thanks Rico.
The season started so well and now we`re back where we finished last season !………………………….5th !
😆
In all honesty, we may be 5th, but we should put The Orcs to the sword on Saturday as they are in relegation form !………………….I shall check who else is playing who and judge our likely position on Satturday night !…………….give me a few min`s !……………………………………yeah !…..posible rise after we beat Stoke, but Hudderfield look like they are going to be running away with it as they have Toon Army……………Manshafter have Swansea away, Mansour City face Everton and Tiny Totts have Chavs at home !…………..that should be a cracker as neither can win at Wembley…………………… hahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahaha…………………..oops, slight wetting of the pants there ! hahaha
I still wouldn’t let Perez go, not even on loan. Keep him and play him instead of Walcott, or whoever performs best…
Silky, would be ideal to do things the other way round..
Morning all.
I just read an interesting comment from Mark Schwarzer who said he wanted to come to Arsenal, Arsenal wanted him but Fulham point blank refused to let him go.
Seems the common theory of us not spending an extra million is simply incorrect.
He added that it took him several months to get over it, and I dare say nobody would question his professionalism.
That’s my concern with Alexis IF he wants out.
Do we know if PSG or anyone else have actually made an offer for him?
Is he really in Paris, or is that media speculation?
As always, more questions than answers when it comes to the Arsenal lol
Ok, I know we could’ve thrown money at Fulham and tested the waters.
Fcuk Mark Hughes, he was the reason…
Let’s hope we smash Stoke.
Absolutely, Kev.
3-0 will do nicely!!
I’d imagine the offer we made for Schwarzer was derisory in the first place which made Fulham/Hughes stand their ground. Similar with Cahill wasn’t it?
Morning guys..
Morning all.
Seems like Arsene is good at one thing and that`s derisory offers !.
Fair enough he has to try and do what`s best for the club, but this is akin to making an lower offer for a house you may want to buy, but if you really want the house you will eventually pay the asking price is seller is stubborn !…………………………….remember Arsene………………….they will only be more expensive next season ! .
Morning Rico. The potential signing of Schwarzer was an attempt to sort the open wound created by the goalkeeping mess. Surely there must have been other contenders?
Then again, its that old defensive stuff again isn’t it ! It continues today and will do for as long as Wenger is manager. A great defence can help you win titles.
Exactly Lc. I doubt many of us would moan about missing out on players if it wasn’t so often about the way we go about transfers..
Morning Adam. A very halfhearted one it seems.
New post up now..
