Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

[The Wengerbabies]

Okay, here is another reason why I have a great deal of difficulty of taking many of the blogs seriously. Here is the heading on Bleacher Report: Arsenal Transfer News: 5 Superstars Who Would Immediately Improve the Gunners http://bleacherreport.com/articles/7...ve-the-gunners

The problem is that the 5 Superstars are
Falcao
Downing
Hazard
Cahill
Benzema

How many of those are really "superstars"?

Other than Downing, 0 tbh.

Am I reading that correctly, you are saying Downing is a superstar?

It was sarcasm

You've been living in America too long.

Glad you cleared that up.

BTW, we are not yet the 51st state.

But Canada hasn't moved continents either presumably.

Nope, Canada is still on the continent of North America, as is Mexico and the United States of America.

Seriously think it's bad mojo to keep mentioning Downing. Can we refer to him as Macbeth from now on? If we just ignore everything that's written or said about him, in fact if we pretend he doesn't exist then maybe he won't come here. We need to muster a huge collective indifference so it's tangible and he detects it and takes the hint. Because when you look at that list of "superstars" it's pretty damn obvious which one we'd be lumbered with. Bendtner out and Macbeth in, back to square one.

You need to man the fuck up pal. I don't want to hear you crying like a bitch when we sign the Ligue 1 younger version of Downing as we surely will.

'Arry wants Friedel

Liverpool are facing competition from Tottenham in the bid to sign Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel, it is understood.
Press Association Sport understands Friedel has emerged as a target for Spurs manager Harry Redknapp, who is looking for a new goalkeeper after the up and down form of Heurelho Gomes last season.
It is a difficult decision for the 39-year-old Friedel, who is now out of contract at Villa although they are also keen to retain his services.
Friedel is only likely to be offered a one-year deal by Redknapp, who will seek a long term replacement for Gomes, but there is the lure of being first choice.
He is keen to add to his all-time record of 275 successive appearances in the Barclays Premier League.
Liverpool are offering a two-year contract - and a coaching role - but Friedel, who lives in Cheshire, will only be number two to Pepe Reina.
West Brom are also interested but they are well down the pecking order with Friedel.

Think he'll go to Liverpool tbh. Wouldn't mind if we signed him but it aint gonna happen.
