Could this be the new GSTEL?
He was awlsome in The Bourne Identity, Lost and The Mummy Returns too.Quote:

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to make a shock £10million move for Liverpool's out-of-favour winger Stewart Downing in the January transfer window.
Wenger was outbid by Liverpool when he wanted to sign Downing in 2011 as a replacement for Samir Nasri and now believes he can rescue his career after the England international's torrid time at Anfield.
Current Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers does not want Downing, who has lost form and confidence since his £20m switch to Merseyside.
But Wenger is convinced he has the technical ability to fit in at Arsenal and would provide balance to his team on the left flank.
Downing can also play left-back, which has been Arsenal's problem position this season.
Capped 34 times, Downing was hailed as a new Kop hero when signed by Kenny Dalglish following an electric spell with Aston Villa.
But he failed to contribute a Premier League goal or assist in his first season and has been publicly criticised by Rodgers for a lack of work-rate in the current campaign.
Liverpool may try to use Arsenal's interest as currency to land Theo Walcott, who only has six months left on his contract at the Emirates.
:haha: :haha:
Nope.
If that happens, the transformation from intelligent and visionary football manager to deluded senile WUM would be complete.
This stinks of a certain shitty agent.Quote:

oh signing downing is about as detrimental to this club as fans calling wenger a ****, hoping he dies etc is. but you dont call them up over do you? this place is fucking patheticQuote:

Nobody would be stupid enough to sign Stewart Downing. It's a made up story.
You do know who are current manager is?Quote:

Its already complete.. he will just rubber stamp that fact and probably get it notarized too.Quote:

If we signed Downing it would be the nadir of Wenger's time at Arsenal.

Fine with me.Quote:

It won't happen though. Surely?
Not from us you won't. You guys need to find someone with more money than sense.Quote:

Well in that case I'm sure we can sell him to ourselves in some sort of tax dodge.Quote:

Don't believe everything you read/hear
Huntelaar has pretty much failed at every big club he has been at. the guy has scored 2 more goals than Giroud and contributes absolutely fuck all when he is not scoring. I agree we need more but he is not better, nor does he add anything that we already have. We need someone more dynamic up front.
Highly believe anyone on here wants Wenger dead. Its just Frustration. Everyone on here loved him at point ir another (even Zimm)/ They just hate what he has beceom now. If they felt they see that Old Wenger they be happy enough but as they feel it won't happen, guess they want him out.Quote:

Has pissed on RVC pretty much all the time yet people claim he's not good enough for us and RVC would ve had he stayed? Wtf is up with that? And he's a far better striker than Giroud. No point comparing them.Quote:

2 diffrent leagues tbh. So you can't really compare that.Quote:
Scored more goals than RVC last year,
Huntelaar would be a fantastic signing, one of the best finishers out there. 48 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions for Schalke last season.
Rather have someone who is a work horse tbh. End of the day it don't matter how good a finisher he is, if he won't get the ball. With the way we play we need a work horse like a RVP or a Ba or Llorente.Quote:

Humiliated this summer :lol: No doubt there are better strikers but Wenger won't splash out £30m+ on one. Hunter won't cost that much and is exactly what we need. Different leagues yet he's being compared to Grioud laughably. Also KJH has done it in the CL as we know better than anyone. Ba and Llorente are not as good but both better than Giroud so would take eitherQuote:
