Winter Transfer Speculation

[selassie]

I'm impressed with how Hughes has turned Stoke from rugby loving orcs into orcs that can play football. It must be like the ice age before civilisation for Middle Earth, I mean Stoke, right now.

Aye, they play some good stuff now. Still hate Shawcross and their "nutty" fan base, bunch of northern cants!

I thought it was him. Heard about this guy as well. Strange to see him move from Porto so soon. Must have had problems with the club or staff.

Yeah, I thought it was a strange move too, they paid a fair bit for him so it's not like they are turning over a huge profit on it.

According to some Porto were fleecing them.

This more or less adds to what a few people have been saying. The new TV money means backyard teams no longer need to employ tractor drivers to plough through the opposition in games. With the right managers, the level in the PL will go up. However this means fewer spaces for GHELs as they hardly ever have the skills, so the pundits will be in an uporoar, UK quotas will be imposed and the level will go back down ensuring England never win a major tournament for 100 years.

In the meantime, we at Arsenal better buck up our ideas. Top 4 is no longer any teams birthright.

I can't believe what I'm reading on this thread?! Adebayor's a top striker? Stoke and Mark Hughes deserve some respect?! What the hell is going on?!!

It's the Arsenal transfer thread what do you expect us to talk about?!

Wenger being a c--t? We haven't done that one for a while. Or maybe have a pop at Letters or Zim for posting something? It's all good...

Edit: might also be worth checking the carbon monoxide levels in everyone's homes...

So another transfer window passes us by with little happening except the customary unknown arriving, noone can say it's predictable.

Oh and before someone mentions it being the January transfer window and it being hard to sign anyone of quality, let me remind you what happnened last summer as well.

Clearly we have a manager who doesn't understand the meaning of planning and making significant signings and their impact on a club. We have got to be the most boring and predictable club in the transfer market surely.

Everytime Wenger makes some comment about signings and people still believe that he'll bring in someone proven and when he doesn't we excuse his signing some unknown by pretending he's going to be a quality player even though we've neither heard of him or seen him play. Dear oh dear when will it all change?

Hey, at least this unknown doesn't have a broken back! Progress.
