Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is a HUGE Wenger smile. It's either Ronaldo, Messi or Cattermole.

Cattermole is too good for us. I reckon Assombalonga.

Or we're cashing in on Merts.

I think you should take that back about Song.

Flams and Arteta played with very little intelligence or discipline today. Southampton passed us off the park with ease.

One bad game (Arteta's first after an injury lay-off) at a tough opponent away from home in which most of the team was rubbish is vindication for years of Song's meandering lethargy and brainfarts? I don't think he's a bad player. He's almost like David Luiz in that any position you play him in, he just doesn't quite fit. An in-between player, if such a thing exists.

I don't think Flamini is good enough to be a regular either. He's basically a slightly better version of Scott Parker. Just because he's the only one who shows a bit of physicality, he seems to have been turned into a mythical figure who has transformed the team. Even though he's not started that regularly or been crucial to our results at all.

Arteta isn't perfect. Ideally, we'd have someone with Arteta's calmness in the centre, but with more mobility and athleticism. But our results and performances with Arteta in the side over the last three seasons have been much better than when he's been missing. It's not one of those factual anomalies you can twist, it bears out if you watch our games.

People still advocating Flamini over Arteta must be watching something else entirely.

Fucking Mourinho the fucking stupid prick .

United have got a MASSIVE lift now with Mata. RVC is back, and Rooney is comitting his future to the club. They have a strong chance for top 4.

Right when they were about to be dead and buried, this fucking stupid prick offers them a lifeline.

Cunt !

This.

I like Flams tenacity but he can be a little too reckless at times. He has started to struggle lately too IMHO, he isn't the solution and neither is Arteta. That position needs upgrading this summer and with real quality IMHO.

Pretty much agree with every word..... A lot of which I often want to say but can't be bothered to!

I don't think Wenger saying he is the technical leader in the group that he was being overly kind to him, though I accept his days are numbered.

We're unveiling Sanogo again..

Arteta and Flamini should never be on the pitch together unless;

-Injuries mean we have no choice.
-We need to "do a job" like protect a lead and see out a game.

Flamini is an extremely limited player, if you stick him infront of the back 4 for protection he can be useful. However Arteta is far more disciplined and when they're on the pitch together Flamini loses his worth and his obvious limitations are exposed. I don't have a problem with one or the other starting because both perform a niche role, we just don't need both of them to do it.

Not even to see out a lead - with them both we sit too deep & bring on waves of opposition attacks. If the ball is in the other half, they can't score - you protect a lead by having quality midfileders & forwards who are able to keep & pass the ball in the opponents half.
