Children! This is a historic day - the Arsenal board is spending money! When your grand kids ask you, "What were you doing when that cunt PHW spent some money?", what are you going to tell them? You were arguing in a notorious Internet homosexual hangout?
They may have got wind that negotiations have ceased. It could well be the case that Mertesacker + Santos are our only new defensive recruits this window.Quote:

Imagine...
Szczesny
Fabianski
Sagna-----Mertesacker-----Vermaelen-----Santos
Jenkinson--------Koscielny----------Djourou-----------Gibbs
Miquel----------Squillaci
Song
Frimpong
Wilshere-------Hazard
Diaby---------Ramsey
Walcott-----------Van Persie-----------Gervinho
Rosicky-------------------Park-------------------Arshavin
Chamberlain---------Chamakh--------------------Ryo
Doesn't look too shabby...
We have depth in the wings, and can replace our starters with either youthful pace - Chamberlain and Ryo - or experience - Rosicky and Arshavin, who can both fill in in central midfield if needs be, as we're still looking a bit thin there.
Is Cahill actually that good? I keep hearing it but I've not seen it myself. He is young, up and coming and english - that much is true. But I'm not convinced he's nearly as good as everyone seems to claim he is? Is he?
Arsenal Targets: Mertesacker: 74% Aerial dual,3.5 interceptions pg,3.4 clearances; Cahill: 63% Aerial dual,1.8 interceptions,10.7 clearances
Bremen have won only 1 of their last 7 Bundesliga games without Mertesacker (5 defeats), conceding 19 goals. Loss.
:lol:
If you wipe the shit off your monitor (Squillaci), then I agree, not bad at all. :)Quote:

You can use stats to make any player look good. There were fans who claimed Denilson was a valuable player for Arsenal because his pass completion % was high. Moreover, Cahill plays in the Premier League against teams that make more use of the long ball , and strikers who tend to be more powerful aerially than those in Germany, which partially explains why Mertersacker has a higher % aerial dual victory.Quote:
