I was hoping that this was going to fall through tbh. He is bloody good strong player for their midfield. We are still relying on dwarfs in our midfield (can I say that?)Quote:

If it’s height you’re after I’ve heard Fellaini is available.Quote:

We’ve been taken for a ride big time by the fucking leeches at our club. They are liars, scumbags and thieves and there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it.
We've spent shit loads more than them.Quote:

It's almost as if there's shit loads more money floating about now...
Arsenal, the club for people who love excuses...
After two windows of no spending, it’s hardly surprising he’s given him an ultimatum, especially after getting them to a CL final, he held all the cards.Quote:

And they have a £25m defender on the market, a highly rated AM in his final year and a couple of British full backs they’d be happy to sell - let’s see if they’ve had to doing any selling to balance the books.
Since we’ve had money to spend it’s been mismanaged and wasted, which is why we are where we are.
Let’s see. I’d be very surprised if spurs don’t make a significant net outlay on players after a mere 12 months of austerity. Haven’t checked figures but pretty sure we had near negative transfer spends for 6-7 years after the emirates opened.
I agree we’ve frittered money away in recent years, largely on crippling wage bills for undeserving players. But my point was that the crap we were told about new stadium breaking us financially was utter horseshit.
I’m surprised this is getting debated to be honest.
Exactly, after 12 months they are due to spend, especially with so much earned from the CL and having lost Dembele, and with at least two other first team players close to leaving.
Martinelli interview:
'Are there any players that you look up to?'
"I look up to Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar as they are players who can decide games and are very professional, who dedicate themselves to the whole game."
He'll love playing with Xhaka and Mhki then :rolleyes:
Spurs actually signed him, ffs!
Perez going to Leicester from Newcastle for £30m :lol:
Rafa’s gone, they couldn’t be bothered to buy Robson and now they flogged their other striker. Newcastle are fucked.
As usual we seem to be dragging our heels in this transfer window, it would have made sense given the last couple of seasons to get in there early and bring in some of the players we need at least by now, instead we've signed a kid who isn't going to feature, haven't got rid of anyone and the defence is still untouched.
Are we going to do our usual trick of waiting till late on and being forced to overpay when clubs know we're desperate again?
wow you aren't asking much we only signed a player yesterday.Quote:

The fourth most expensive player of all time.
Spending that Griezmann money.Quote:

True but they’ve not even sold the fucker yet. Hell of a risk on a player with one season of football under his belt.Quote:

I can’t remember the guys name but I remember they bought in a big signing 4/5 years ago upfront that didn’t work out. Think he was from the Portuguese league.Quote:

Lanpard officially announced.
A car crash of a season would be glorious to watch.
Chelsea tend to win stuff even if they’re horse shit. Even though Lampard is a huge punt I wouldn’t be surprised if they won a cup and finished top 4 again.
Hazard is a big loss though - 16 goals and 15 assists is a huge hole to replace when you can't buy anyone and you're relying on an unproven newbie to replace him.
Ospina's gone.
a month until deadline day. strap yourselves in everyone for a month of wheeling and dealing
except at Arsenal of course.... :tumbleweed:Quote:

We will probably re-sign Cech for 20m, play him at CBQuote:

Worst of all it they never learn, the logic would have been to get some deals done early, we knew Welbeck, Ramsey etc were leaving months ago.
So Wenger wasn't the problem after all!Quote:

Got to laugh about this, we've apparently got a limited budget, are desperate for a new CB (or two) and yet it seems we're interested in signing a young guy who may well be very talented but that we're probably going to have to loan back for a year, you couldn't make it up!Quote:

You'd have to ask his new employers about that.Quote:
