No, but using the quote 'I'm sure he'll be a good player but it makes you wonder where our priorities lie' to make the leap to 'fans raging' makes him a journalist, and I mean that in every sense of the word except the actual definition.Quote:

Why bother buying another central midfield/winger that’s good at passing?
Chamakh haters have had a bit of a shocker on here. Makes me laugh though and keeps me entertained so long may it continue. Especially funny how they are reaching to critisise Chamakh on BS things.Quote:

The guy's got no bottle. He hides on the pitch. Sure, you could say the same about a lot of our players but this guy has got none at all. Yeah, if it's put on a plate for him he can sometimes stick it in the net. Yeah, he can dive and get penalties - and I'm not saying he shouldn't do that because our opponents are happy to do the same. Fact is, if instead of this guy we had a decent, gutsy, powerful striker up front, a real target man, we'd do a lot better. Anyway, all we have to do is wait and see what happens. With Chamakh and Vela providing the cover for RvP, we're doomed. These two wouldn't play for any other top club, they wouldn't even make the bench.Quote:

Wenger said he would address those problems. It's starting to look like he lied.Quote:

We need a class defender, we could have added that £12m onto the price of someone brilliant at the back to go with Verms (when he's fit) not just another kid. There isnt even a thread about him, even though we've just, supposedly, bought a striker for £12m. Jesus this pisses me off.
Miyaichi has been granted his work permit apparently.
yay
:woohoo:Quote:

Good news that, saw some BS story about Dortmunds Kagawa. . . .that would be a sound move.Quote:

Yep, that's one of the reasons I'm happy to see Miyachi in the squad at least, there'll be days when he does well and days when he'll be pretty ineffectual but you know you're going to get a decent work ethic all the time.
got to agree. . . . Although we all would have loved to see an already forming line of new recruits we are left with the reality of what its like to be a Gooner living in a Wenger paradise!Quote:

In short, we're fucked
Thankfully Arseblog talks shit
A non-stop line of Prem CBs auditioning would have been pretty sexy, until you get to Zat Knight ofc.Quote:

That makes no sense whatsoever, given they're passing on what Chamakh actually said to a reputed source.Quote:

Tbh i didnt even click on the link and just went by past experiencesQuote:

AS a result AW has many enemies including this Bernes who is currently Nasris agent and is thoroughly enjoying messing Wenger around..waited 18 years for this spot of revenge.
I doubt he'd hold a grudge for that long, surely he'd have kept Nasri from joining Arsenal if he wanted to piss AW around anyway?
sounds like some cloak and dagger messQuote:

If Miyaichi's available, then we have him, Arshavin, Theo, Gervinho and potentially Rosicky all players able to play on the wing. So where does Chamberlain fit it? This makes his signing even more odd, and look somewhat superfluous.
