if AW spends big and we get a torres, what happens?

[Power n Glory]

Has anyone every worked for a company with a high turnover of staff and every so often there is some sort of leaving party in the office? Usually, in places I've worked, the person whose leaving gives a speech. I've never once heard someone stand up and tell the cold hard truth about the company when they leave. You'll never hear how they hated their role, were underpaid, hate their boss, staff or whatever. In my experience, you get spin or out right lies. They've enjoyed working for the company, learned a lot, will miss everyone....some of that is true. But it's not the whole truth.

Think of Henry's speech in that way.

Why burn bridges like that

I think my boss is an alcoholic cunt, but if I ever left the company I'd want him on my side within our industry

[Power n Glory]

Exactly. Henry wants to come back to Arsenal one day, he loves London, loves the fans...it would be a mistake to come out and say he's leaving because the club lacks ambition and he doesn't believe we can win silverware again.

I was just noting it as what I believed to be the correct course of events as opposed to what was previously posted.

What about the Benzema talk? And Falcao? I´d become gay if both arrived. It sounds impossible.

[Boss]

Don't think there's any chance of us getting Benzema, I also highly doubt he's worth anything upwards of 20M (even in this market) and would struggle if he came to this league.

I'd like to see Falcao here though, he's pretty fucking good. We'd need someone that could cross to take advantage of his great heading ability though, something we don't have.

If we were looking at someone cheaper, Barrios from Dortmund could be a good bet, he's great on FM done reasonably well for Dortmund the last two years and could be the poacher we need.

I suppose that the question here is whether the inability to cross is a consequence of not having someone in the middle capable of taking advantage of a cross?
