Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

[Cripps_orig]

Oh come on, he just helped Montpellier win the ligue 1 title.

25 goals scored or something.

Dont watch or follow French football

I only know Montygomerie whatever won the title cos it was mentioned on GW by people pretending to giver a fuck about French football

Dont even know who the other CL quailifers

[Cripps_orig]

Buy Gary Hooper tbh

There's other factors, like living in London going to a club most likely to win and liking the manager/style.

Maybe he see's Man City as the future and fancies playing with players like Aguero and Tevez, star players can also help attract other players, we use ot have the same thing when we had Henry, Vieira and co.

zimm i found this stat, i thought you might like it given you think hazard is great and kagawa is not so great.

hazard - 192 apps, 50 goals, 38 assists (club) 26 apps, 1 goal (international)
kagawa - 198 apps, 86 goals, 45 assists (club) apps 30, goals 10. (international)

does this change your opinion at all? not trying to be wummish here, genuniely interested given what you ahve said about both players.

Spurs show more ambition than us, that in itself says it all for me.

havnt we heard every year and all this season that their aim is to beat us in the league? thats hardly ambition is it? every year they come out with the same crap as this will be the year we beat arsenal

Who?

The guy who helped the underdog overcome a bullshit big money team who tried to buy the French league. Sounds like just the sort of player we need given our own challenges with dogshit teams like city. His mate Belhanda is pretty tasty too - at least I would!

You're assuming Alonso and Mata wanted to join us. I'm saying they didn't.

Agreeing a fee with the club doesn't mean shit.

Vertonghen was just a general question not relating to me quoting you.

I'm sure I heard/read somewhere that Mata thought he was heading to Arsenal.

Gourcuff

Great talent, but he lacks desire, although with Wenger as his manager, he might get the best out of him. Wouldn't say no to that move at all.

[hobson's choice]

Looking at Hazard, honestly I don't see a truly great player, I see a good player, but just like Neymar, he's getting hyped up to the moon. Because there really aren't that many great out of the players in today's game. So we just hype up any player who can do some nice things.

N_Q meant to say Aliadiere, actually.

Why do we delay so much when signing one player ?

We've known about Hazard from around 2 years ago , ie when he scored against Liverpool, and I'm pretty sure Wenger knew about him before. A £10 million or so bid would have been enough back then. Same goes for M'Vila, just tie it up already, rather than inviting other clubs to join in and we lose the player.

Siggurdson just joined Swansea for about £7 mill, and it happened fairly quickly !
