Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Munchies]

Somehow we're getting £7m for Gervinho

He's arrived in Italy:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

just to point it out, last time we signed an unheard of defender, it was koscienly. that worked out pretty well

No. Hasn't yet, tbh. He's cost up dearly for most of the time he's been here and was an absolute disaster that no one wanted near the team till he finally put in a decent shift last 10 games of last season. Though I wish for his fine form to continue, it's still too early to say he's worked out well, IMO. Give him at least a few games in the 1st half of the season before making such a conviction.

Yep, exactly. Kos has been magnificent since he got here.

Another casualty from the horrific 2011 summer window.

season before last he was superb the whole way through it

[Globalgunner]

Yep, exactly. Kos has been magnificent since he got here.

Except when he was crap in his first season. I am fan of Koscielny, so live in hope that he maintains his form but let's not start rewriting history now. Also for every Kozzer there's a stepanovs, djorou, senderos and that big French disaster, whose name escapes me not to mention that shit Silvestre.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yep, in the main crap in his first season. But he turned it around well and he's quickly establishing himself as our next major sale.

[Master Splinter]

There's no middle ground on the internet of course, but Koscielny was good in his first season, albeit with several instances of growing pains.

He was our best player in his second season.

When he finally displaced Vermaelen and took his rightful place in defence last season, he was our best player once again.

Or alternatively: "lolz kos haz had 10 good gamez and iz scorez own goals and is a kalamatee".

Yes that's untrue, but it's no more of a fallacy than to say he's been good throughout his Arsenal career which is not correct either.
