Mohamed Elneny Thread (official)

[Letters]

You should know the answer to that from previous debates. I still think we need more. Also, I don't think we play exciting football anymore. It's rare to see us carving up teams with our passing and putting on a show.

I kinda agree we need more up front but we have 3 really world class players - and the others are pretty good, let's not pretend they are the only decent players we have in the squad. It's been good enough so far, whether it is enough to finish the job remains to be seen. My head said City but they're hardly setting the league alight either.

Letters - you have this debate on every single thread. Can you just pipedown for a few days at least?

Be honest, United were woeful last season, enough said.

I know you're not a big fan of facts but here's one to dismiss or ignore
Utd had only lost 2 home games till we played them. They only lost 4 all season, including to us.
And all the league games they lost were silly ones. In the big home games they

Drew with Chelsea
Beat City.
Drew with us
Beat Spurs.
Beat Liverpool.

So they didn't lose any home game to the rest of the top 6 in the league, only to us in the cup.

Case and point. Do you really need to reiterate your thoughts on how this season is going again and again? Seriously, what is wrong with you? You keep repeating the same stuff.

Nope. I'll post how I want, thanks
But, of course, it's interesting how you pick on my post rather than the endless repetition of others...

As do you And a lot of other posters.

Your little vendetta against me really is silly.

Because you always lead the conversation down this route. Time and time again. It always starts with you. I can have a conversation with any other poster and they won't repeat the same stuff each day.

The start of this conversation with Zim was him whining about what is sounding like a decent signing. And I wasn't the only person to pick him up on it.
But anyway, I'll post what I want. You don't have to respond if you don't want to.
Thank you for your interest in my affairs...

I have no problem with the signing, I will be rooting for this guy to come good.

However Im with Zimm in the sense that it is MADDENING that Wenger always finds himself in this position in January! If he properly filled the squad in the summer, I would have a more positive, confident outlook. By not doing so he has limited the pool/quality of players available to reinforce our title run. That's what is so frustrating! Yes there were reports about us being interested in other players, but that means jack shit at this point. There were quality players available and in positions that we need and Wenger didn't get it done, that's what matters.

Now, I will give WEnger some credit as we are a pretty good side, the table doesn't lie. However, does this team, with Eleny added, have what it takes to see it through? I wouldn't bet on it given history and given the makeup/injuries with our side. Would those who are "optimistic" more so than others, bet on Arsenal to win the league? I cant say that I would at this point just given the transfer window (given we don't sign anyone else) and our history in these situations. I hope I am proven wrong though and will be supporting the team for the run in.

I wouldn't bet on us but we're where we are on merit and we've got some world class players now who could drag us to the title. The rest of our players are no slouches either. City are the main threat IMO.
