[Olivier's xmas twist]

I don't reckon he'd have stood out at other clubs, I just don't think he's talented enough or indeed wants it enough....he would have never been at UTD in the 1st place but had he been he'd have been out the door quicker than you could say Taibi.

Well if he was, he'd be a diffrent player as fergie would not take that shite, but he is no worse the bebe is he.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bebe.

At least Bebe was really cheap.

Oh wait!

Not when it's clear he doesn't work hard enough and doesn't have much talent. Maybe a lower league team might take a punt but can't see a top club being interested, just because players happen to be lucky enough to be at a top club once, doesn't mean they will be again.

He's very much benefitted from Wenger's youth experiment, without it he's be languishing in the Brazilian league with no hope of leaving it.

But it's not clear, that's the point. Lots of teams rely on stats to look at players nowadays, he ain't called Statinho for nothing after all, and that's before you look at the fact that he has actually had good games for us. There's enough to convince teams to have a bash at him, he's a bit lazy and inconsistent but he's young and experienced at the highest level.

We're never going to agree though because I feel he has a modicum of talent whereas you think he's a cut below Michael Brown, bear in mind that there's many people out there with many different opinions, some of those go out and buy players for teams...

[Marc Overmars]

I can't imagine a Prem team being interested in him, he's not suited to this league at all. Nowhere near as dynamic as what's required.

Funny though that no one has appeared to want him.

Arsenal are hoping to announce the signing of Lille's Ivory Coast striker Gervinho and that is likely to be followed by a move for Bolton's England centre half Gary Cahill and Blackburn's Chris Samba.

Same 3 cunts we have been after for weeks and still we haven't got any of them.

Wenger

Awful manager

[Niall_Quinn]

It makes sense to pay somebody to take him. If he really has 3 years left on his contract and he's earning a stupid amount of money then if we tabled an offer of Statinho + £2mill we'd be saving ourselves money over the years that would otherwise have been spent on a useless player that takes up a place on the roster but gives nothing in return. Surely there would be some club out there that would go for a deal like that? Plus, wouldn't we get a cut of the transfer fee and wouldn't his agent have to pay us?

Been reading Bounce by Matthew Syed and he reflects on the ideas of a growth mindset (people who think hard work will achieve results) and those who have a fixed mindset (they think talent alone brings success - so often don't try hard because of fear of failure etc). Interesting stuff. Most of our players are clearly of a fixed mindset, it seems.
