[Cripps_orig]

Can see this happening. We never learn

Wenger never follows conventional wisdom, never goes for the obvious solution, never does what people suggest he does. He prefers to ignore the flaws in his team, imagining them away as the world is obviously wrong. His strategy is to solve todays problems with next years solutions. This kid will be ready to take this club forward in 2 years time, besides, you can never have too many kids. With our hit miss ratio of 1:50. We need 550 kids to get a single team.

He got lucky with a couple of signings, and ever since then, he's been so fucking full of himself, when in reality the only such signing that actually turned out good was Toure.

The biggest lie when it comes to Wenger, is that he discovers talent out of nowhere. All the players he signed that all turned out great, were all known commodities.

Newcastle agree a fee with Monty for Yanga-Mbiwa.

And apparently Valdes won't sign another contract with Barca.

I read somewhere that we would get Valdes, Reina would go to United and Barca would buy De Gea

Made in England!

I think his signing would mean they'd have more French players than us.

Never rated Valdez that highly, IMO he's Barca's weakness, Reina is way better when he's on form.

It did always surprise me that Barca didn't ever go after (ie: tap up) Reina when he was on top form, since he was a Barca youngling.

He has played well recently, so it would be harsh to say he is still throwing the ball in as it seemed like he was doing for a while, but I wouldn't necessarily rule them out going for him now. Unless they want someone young (like a De Gea) in which case they'll probably crap out another one from La Masia.

valdez is a very underrated keeper.
