Is buying shite ass pub team players a way of solving problems?Quote:

Like Kozza for example. He came in at a time we needed a CB. One year on we need one even more cos he was terrible for the most part.
No, we need another CB because Squillaci was shite. We were looking to buy two last summer as we seem to want to have 4 first team CBs, Squllaci was bought to make up the numbers as we couldn't get our higher priority targets, this summer we're getting a replacement for him.
Obviously, buying shite players is not a good idea but we didn't buy Danny Shittu to shore up our defence and nor did we buy Akinbiyi to score us some goals, we bought two good players and a stop gap, it didn't work out completely right but nor was it a disaster and nor were they bad signings.
Don't think he would be if the 20 year old was as highly rated as De Gea.Quote:

Kozzas mistakes every other game tells me differently. In a way i can forgive Totos shiteness cos he was never first choice. Kozza was and his Arsenal career is littered with mistakes.Quote:

The agent of Valencia playmaker Juan Mata has remained coy on the future of the 23-year-old following speculation over the youngster’s future. While revealing Mata was unaware of an offer from Arsenal the player’s representative and father insisted that they will look at proposals from potential suitors this summer.
Mata was a key protagonist in the Spanish U-21 European Championship this summer and according to a report in the Daily Mail this morning is the subject of an £18m (€20.2m) offer from Arsenal.
Liverpool are also rumoured to be interested in the player but speaking to Arseblog News Juan Mata Snr revealed he was unaware of an offer from Arsenal, but would not rule out a move this summer. He said, “We’ve just returned from the U21 championships and my son has gone on holidays. As of today we haven’t spoken to anybody.
“I don’t know if Valencia have received a proposal from Arsenal or any other club. We will wait to hear from them”.
Asked if Arsenal would be of interest to his son he said, “I know Arsenal is a big club, a very important club in England, always in the Champions League, but it’s up to any club to pay the required amount to Valencia. Then we can look at the proposals”.
When asked the value Los Che have placed on the youngster he replied, “You would have to ask Valencia”.
Spanish publication Sport claims the release clause for Mata is €20m.
Or coming at the prospect of Mata jizzing?Quote:

There were more in the first few months, which was to be expected but aside from the Blues incident at Wembley he didn't do much wrong individually in the latter half of the season, not much more than any Serbian deities anyway.
So... in the Daily Mirror :rolleyes: ....

so we what are we left to do, gotta suck it up and get behind the team,
I admit players do earn our wrath through constant bad performances, Bedtner or by showing no developement or contribution, Denilson/Rosicky or even by just being a complete clown, Eboue and should not look to hide
but players who we haven't even seen yet and have been bought by the club should be given some benefit of the doubt, Alvarez is coming under a lot of stick but I know you cannot judge the player based on youtube, you never know we could be pleasantly surprised
You may be right but then i dont really give a monkeys piss about Vidics mistakes or any non Arsenal players for that matter.Quote:
