No chance on Zlatan.
No chance on Zlatan.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
I've got more chance of banging Kate Upton tonight than Liverpool have of signing a Lacazette or a Morata tbh.Originally Posted by Syn
They don't have CL football to offer, their manager isn't really respected in world football and their brand stock isn't high. The Lyon CEO pretty much ridiculed Liverpool for the tentative rumours there were linking Lacazette to Liverpool.
"The latest rumours are trash," the Lyon president wrote on Twitter.
"Liverpool have never called Lyon about Lacazette and without playing in the Champions League they have neither the money nor [would they be] able to interest him."
As for Ings ...... meh. I suppose as a free signing (minus tribunal payment) there's little risk involved however he's not the type of signing that will elevate them to the top four. Despite the rumours, I'd more expected a mid table club (Swansea, Stoke etc) to get him rather than a 5/6th one. Mind you, if they get Sturridge fit for most of next season he'd be a decent backup however if it's going to be a similar season to this one, I really do worry for them if they have to rely on Balotelli/Borini or Ings to lead the line for the majority of their games.
FSG seem like such tight bastards.
I think it's harsh (plain wrong) to say FSG are tight bastards. We've spent an absolute fortune. The problem is we've spunked most of it up the wall and on the curtains.
Oh Zlatan, would Wenger even consider 11 million regardless of the wages for a 33 year old a good deal?
Zlatan is one of those specially endowed players who could play into their late 30s easily but does he have the mentality of say a Bergkamp and sacrifice self for the team. He has a bigger ego, if that is possible than Chrissy Ronaldo, but somehow manages to be more enigmatic and personable. My biggest fear is that Arsene would not be able to manage him
If we were to get Cech, where does that leave us with the other keepers. I can't see Ospina leaving as only had one season but Chez has had a lot of time invested in him and IMO still remains the better longer term prospect. But no way we'd have all 3 of them.
Why would you spunk most of your money on curtains? That's just ridiculous.
Zlatan is a league title machine. Do it.
Not for us he isn't - he's a lazy player that only thinks of himself. doesn't have the legs to make the runs we need from a striker playing the way we do. He'd be alright in the games where we're dominating & yes he's a better finisher than either Giroud or Welbeck but in the games agianst the better teams he'll go missing - he has nothing to prove at 33 years of age & no real hunger. We need an Aguero/Suarez type of forward to make the runs in behind of tight defences & also do there bit in closing down.
Most on here would agree that the main positions that need strengthening are GK, CB (for an ever slower Merts), DM & Striker. This isn't far of the complete spine of the team. This is far more than the likes of Chelsea or City have to address, they will just add a couple of Worldy players that actually won't strengthen their starting line ups too much. This being the case, why is it we never seem to do any business early - does anyone know if Wenger has a policy of not doing any deals until pre-season has started.
