Scorge Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 EDIT EDIT: Ever since he left us I have always had a wee feeling that he might be one of the players who blossoms late, in a Paul Hartley sorta way, kicks around the lower leagues until something clicks and he realises he's only got one shot at it...Cheers for the info, wonder if it'll be Jobby who coaxes the talent out of him......

Soda Jerk Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Toure is a solid player. Arsenal are losing alot of strength. If they lost either Fabregas or Arshavin this summer, they'd be lucky to finish in the top half without some miracle signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lost either Fabregas or Arshavin this summer, they'd be lucky to finish in the top half without some miracle signings.I just don't understand Arsene Wenger anymore. Two years ago, they looked as if they could have won the premiership,then they lost it, and rather than strengthen their team and build on their position, they sold players. Towards the end of last season, they were playing extremely well, and looked like a promising young team, and they've sold players! They have the money to invest in the team, and although Thomas Vermaelen was a decent signing, they've not really done enough to ensure a top 4 finish. It's a shame, because for years they've been my favourite top 4 side, purely because of the style of football they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 livi have started paying people off and now cowden and airdrie will be promoted leaving only 9 teams in the 3rd division.surely they should have drawn the names out of a hat for promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, because for years they've been my favourite top 4 side, purely because of the style of football they play.I expected them to bolster their squad more than anyone this summer, as they'd fallen a bit short, yet proven all the nae-sayers that Arshavin is infact the balls. They now look defensively worse (in a department which was already lacking), but the midfield possession is still going to be the best in the league, especially with Rosicky back. Van Persie, Bendtner and Eduardo is hardly going to make any goalie trmble though. They need an absolute bastard of a striker to poach off the excellent midfield, and a couple of meathead centre backs to kick lumps out of all these gelhead fairy boys.They were rumoured to be having a bid for Huntelaar. They'd be daft not to. So would United and Liverpool too, but he looks set to be going to the Bundesliga, along with Van Der Vaart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't prove to Ashley that they had the funding required, so they weren't allowed access to the club's finance. Just a bunch of publicity-seeking shitehawks.

ca_gere Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Martins is off to Wolfsburg.Fucking gutted. Love the erratic little bastard, although there was no way we were ever gonna keep him.That one was inevitable. I'm sad to see Newcastle in the situation they are. Wasn't that long ago Tino knocked a hat trick past Barca and they were regularly playing attractive football. They deserve more, purely for the loyalty of the supporters. What's the starting line up gonna be like this year? Surely they can't rely on Shola amoeba to produce the goods he's never looked capable of producing. I fear mid table obscurity coz there's a lot of hungry championship sides not to be sneered at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 bad result for celtic tonight, cant see them turning it around 2nd leg, do they have the safety net of the europa league to fall back on?Aye, if Celtic get turfed out next week, they join the Europa qualifying apparently.I'm quietly confident of getting the result over there. Been notoriously bad away from home in the Champions League, but not so bad in the two-legged matches in Europe away from home (apart from Artemdia...). A long time ago now, but Celtic went across to Amsterdam and beat Ajax in CL qualifiers 3-1, plus a decent run of away results in the UEFA Cup run. I guess it's been all pretty shite since then though - we need to win away from home sometime.Didn't see any of the match, but the report suggests that the second half was all Celtic and just couldn't convert the chances. In a week's time, the players should be that little bit sharper. Moscow are 15 games into their season, which is a massive advantage really. Hopefully Celtic can get the result. The next round of qualifiers will be very very tough if they get there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
