General Football Discussion

[Syn]

That's right - 5 years. So why not give him some time to get stuck in at Arsenal before catapulting him into the circus? Right now the assholes are on a "new era" kick because they got shown up so badly at the WC. Or so they say, because then they turn around and make one of the biggest culprits the captain. Clueless cunts who have no idea how to build a team that can compete. It's all media and publicity and hype that drives them, not solid football principles. They fucked Walcott. They actually claimed Ox getting injured ruined their tournament. Then everything becomes a case of the player being level headed enough to laugh that shit off. Journos should be electrocuted for every story they get wrong or every bit of hype that doesn't pan out. Then they'd be fucking careful.

See my reply in the other thread. It's different for attacking players. And I don't think they've fucked Walcott. All our British players have just been too unlucky with injuries to develop as much as they should've. Being involved with England hasn't had much to do with it IMO.

Half those injuries have come when fucking about on pointless International "duty". Not just for England either, the Lion's share of RvC's injuries came from playing Internationals. And there's a long and established record of Wenger being fucked over when asking for consideration in terms of playing time, whereas Ferguson was accommodated. Does Alexis need to fly halfway around the world too? There's no up-side for the club and the player gets to wear a meaningless cap in anticipation of being part of the next humiliation on the big stage. Just give the trophy to the Germans and scrap this waste of time. We have enough injuries and distractions to worry about already.
