Don't get me wrong it'd be very easy to make that statement regarding many of our players but with Ramsey....i know Denilson was terrible but i can't think of one player who contributes so much to our downfall in games just by being on the pitch.
I was going to ask why you would want Benzema here but then it seems a silly question because with what you have said about Ramsey i think it's suffice to say your ability to be able to tell a decent player from a poor one is heavily flawedQuote:

I would call all of them a huge gambles and i wouldnt want us to break our transfer record for any of them. those 3 alone cost sp*rs almost 75mil, if Wenger had signed them you would have bashed Wenger even more than u usual do, when they sign for our rivals you call them big names? I think you need your head checked :)
Soldado hasn't performed better than Giroud? :unsure:
He's scored something like 100 goals in his last 4 La Liga seasons.
Shush. Don't be logical. We have to pretend that everything Spurs do is shit even if it's blatantly not:faint:Quote:

Lets be logical then, he has scored 75 in the last 4 seasons, 24(5)/17(1)/18(1)/16(3) in a shit league. ()=penalties scored... Wouldnt call that much better than Giroud :)
Giroud is a good player, Soldado may well be a good player too. I don't think there's all that much to choose between them and there isn't too much point comparing them.Quote:

Not saying I would have signed them (though Willian is a very good player) but it's a lot better business than we've done that's for sure, we've largely chased after players we're never going to get or underbid for players we could. Last time we had a summer similar to this we signed a lot of sh*t at the end of it so I'm not very hopeful Wenger will sign quality.
anyone at this point tbh!Quote:

on the whole yes but i'd be concerned about the amount we were signing on players....i wouldn't have wanted us to spend £25 on a 28 year old striker who wasn't good enough to make it for Real Madrid....you might mention Higuain but Higuain fell foul of the fact that he wasn't rated by Florentino Perez and there is a big gap in quality between Soldado and Higuain.Quote:

You would be pleased that your club was showing so much ambition, but i think there are different areas they could have strengthened...i think 30m on Willian is a waste of money when they could have got Benteke for the same amount or even cheaper.
They are still in dire need of an out and out striker to back up defoe and soldado.....adebayor is a waste of space.
Oh come of it. I'm not going to say too much or I'll be accused of point scoring by some but clearly that pass wasn't the only great thing about his performance yesterday. He bossed the game completely, made effective passes throughout, initiated attacks and kept the play flowing for us. Can't remember Denilson ever dominating a game like that for us ever. It looked like the Ramsey everyone thought he would develop into pre that thug Shawcross assaulting him.Quote:

I agree. But I think Giroud will out score him this year and look like the superior player. He's slightly younger as well.Quote:

It's not irrational it's seeing how he poisons the midfield, he's not good enough to offer anything in a creative sense other than against dire opposition (and frankly i was surprised about how poor Fenerbahce were) and against Villa at the weekend he left Wilshere with far too much ground to cover by pushing up too high.Quote:

Sorry i didn't read your post all that well forgot to comment on the "not the only great thing about his performance yesterday"...the pass was good not great....the only thing Ramsey could do with his career that would be great would be to retire.
Because talksport is shit.Quote:

Actually that's not fair...Denilson had more ability in front of goal as well.
Saw a Gareth Bale highlight, I don't know how much luck was involved in most of his goals, but can he do this sort of thing in Spain each week ?

Are their defenders as shit to allow him a free shot on goal all the time?
They're probably financially healthy enough to carry the losses for a season at least. Don't think they'll pull a Portsmouth and go into administration this season if Bale doesn't leave.Quote:

Benzema : 125 games, 56 goals
Wasn't Higuain's tally better ?
Interesting line from Guillem Balague on Arsenal's reported bid for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema. (Frederic Hermel is a French sports journalist, by the way)Quote:
