Fuhk.
Quality player and will significantly improve them.
He'll be injured most of the season I reckon.
Now he's staying :lol:Quote:

He's come for one last pay day and Man Utd are silly enough to give him one. Schniderlin would have been the better choice. It's going to be a similar situation to RVP in a couple of years for them as they'll struggle to shift him as no one will be prepared to play the astronomical wages he'd be on.
Not afraid at all about this move.
Me either.
Five years ago, sure. Not now.
Speaking of Munich, would love if Gadis could bring Thomas Muller to Arsenal. :coffee:
Thats what I was thinking as well. It could work out well but definitely a gamble.Quote:

Iker Casillas to join Porto.
Surely that means De Gea is Madrid bound.
Think this is the worst transfer rumour ever. Sundayb mirror linking us with a 10m bid for Jonny Evans. Utter joke.
Lacazette has apparently 'favourited' some 'tweet' from some nobody that links to some article that says that Wenger wants to take advantage of his contract talk breakdown with Lyon. Read into that what you will - might mean little more than the player hopes that our interest is true? Or it could all be a big, fat, photoshopped lie - probably that.

Looks like a good fit for us though - Young, quick, mobile, scores lots of goals, can play anywhere across the front 3... if he's down to his last year, and available for a reasonable fee (by today's standards) then I'd be surprised if Wenger wasn't at least mildly interested?
Does this take them out of the market for other CMs then, or are they going for a complete overhaul?Quote:

Liverpool in "advanced talks" with City over Sterling. :yawn:
Paul Joyce, who seems to have have been fairly reliable on this story amongst others, reckons it will be £45m+ he will get around £200k/week :wacko:

Is that his girlfriend?
And her mum.
£44m+5m in potential addons accepted.Quote:

Fair play to Liverpool though for getting that much money for a 20yo who wanted to leave anyway. I do wish though that one club one day goes no we will not sell you because you just want to leave and play them in the reserves or not at all. Especially if its Euros or WC year. Players have too much power and too much money. They need to scrap the Champions League because all footballers think that is the be all and end all of everything.
Had we been interested I still reckon he would have moved to us instead of City regardless of the stupid money on offer. I am sure City have very comfy substitute benches though
True, great business by Liverpool, just glad he's not coming to us. One of the most hyped up and overrated young players around, hope City insist on playing him. Really just do not rate the boy.
Same here. One good season under Suarez's wing. Absolute shite last season, for Liverpool and England. But he's a media darling so the fee gets bumped by £30mill. He's probably slightly better than Navas though, so the gypos will improve a little bit.Quote:

:blink:
Bonkers price but not really surprising anymore. He's an exceptional talent but I'm not really convinced City is the right move for him. Hardly fertile ground for young players to develop and take their game to the next level.
Yeah he seems to have been brainwashed by his cunt agent and just wants to earn as much as possible while he still can.Quote:

I think Man Ure might do well in CL next season, they look to have pretty much sorted out their midfield. Still question marks over their defence but they will buy, they always do. I think the title race is going to be wide open next season, can't really see an obvious favourite at the moment.Quote:

What are the chances if they're letting Schneiderlin go though? Could be a tough deal to get done now...Quote:

Schneiderlin has his medical.
2 annoyingly good signings for them this weekend. Come on WUMger, how about upgrading our centre midfield?
Think Schneiderlin was tailor made for us, unfortunately Wenger doesn't have the balls to get rid of Arteta and Flamini
Lot of rumours about us signing Callejon rather than Higuain from Napoli, which would buy into the interchangeable front three that I believe Wenger will use next season.
Wenger still believes his tactical acumen can make up for deficiencies in the quality of his players. Never fear, Arsene is here.Quote:

That and he doesn't really like defensive midfielders.
Well we're just about ready to head off on the first pre-season tour. It would have been a huge advantage to have our business done by now so any new players could get acclimatised. That's if we have any plans to sign new players. I know we have Cech and that's a good upgrade but this 10-15 points business is nonsense. It's top quality up front that will add the points to the board.
Not too bothered about the mancs signing Bastien. He's getting on a bit now and he'll get a surprise when a pack of GHELs start kicking lumps out of him. It'll probably take him a year to settle in. Great player and they desperately needed some decent midfielders but they are still afflicted with that twat Rooney up front. As long as they keep buying into the Rooney myth then they'll be sufficiently handicapped. Mind you, with RvC on his way out it wouldn't surprise me if they splash £50mill on a quality replacement - or are they going with Fellaini up top again :haha:
