Last transfer window vela said he doesn't ever want to play for arsenal again, said he's happy in la liga, seems a pea heart if u ask me. Not sure on berbatov, bit lazy but is very intelligent. Does he have the legs?
Jackson Martinez from benfica looks the goods but is he worth 30plus m pounds
Berbatov is shit in shit teams but can score with good service.
I think we can give him good service.
Would need berbatov for the extra depth during fa cup rounds and in between champions league games. 2mill is a bargain for such a smart player. We are that short of depth we had to play theo upfront now with him gone I would love to see the cheque book out for another top class attacker, given this is our best chance to win the comp , diego costa would be ideal and his buy out is 30 mill which isnt to bad considering what falcoa went for and costas has a better scoring recordQuote:

He's on fire in a team on top of La Liga in Madrid, why would he leave?
Would take burba, smart player would work well in a smart team.
Berba would be great. Short term fix, yes, but a class act that would be fantastic in the side - particularly when supported by the midfield.
Best other shouts I've heard would be a loan for Morata, or Aboubakar from Lorient (dat Arsene French connection).
Remy would be my personal long-term preference if QPR don't demand 15-20mil.
Mandzukic would be great in the summer also.
Before Arsene signed Ozil I'd say none of these options will ever happen, but nowadays I don't know what/how to think with Arsene & transfers.
Lots of talk re Draxler, not exactly what we need but would definitely take him.
Been on fire this season.
With the group of players we have it's more likely that quality smart players are actually only going to be better when they come to us as well, so much quality and creativity around them.
Man I cannot get over how good Rosicky is these days, such a shame he pretty much missed 2 seasons. He's got so much class. Creative, technically excellent but also works bloody hard for the team. Overall looks like a top bloke.
I'm really impressed with this squad and the togetherness in it at the moment, it's really nice to see. The shots of Per carrying theo around and his message after Theo got injured saying he'll be his BFG etc. It seems genuine too. You can see the passion in the games.
Quite a few key players in the squad have been with the club for a long time too, theo, rosicky, rambo, wilshere etc. All these players have gone through tribulations as well and I'm sure it's made them stronger for it and made them connect with the club more.
You have to hand it to Arsene, keeping so much faith and trust with his players, rambo and rosicky particularly with the injuries etc.
Makes me remember why I love this club :)
Just offer the whole £100m to Liverpool for Suarez and you'll win all the prizes.
70m apparentlyQuote:

The kicker is that he can play Champions League this season isn't it? Therefore even more valuable of an asset.
Liverpool need to gamble that they'll make top 4 this year or risk losing him for less this summer (especially if his form drops off).
Either way for a buy of £15m to sell him for near £100m would be some good business for the Scousers.
Back to the tippy top, for the moment.
Jack involved in both goals, great to see Giroud off the mark again.
Overall a little concerning to see how much we took our foot off the gas at 2-0 and really let the game slip away in the second half.
Kosc was immense for the most part.

First goal was quality.
All you have to do is look at the celebrations by the players when we score, they want it this year. If we have the depth to back it up is another thing, there is no doubting the commitment by the players to the team though.
consistency will win it and results within the top 4 - enter capt obviousQuote:

Only seen the goals, but pwhoar.
Damn Giroud's hold up play is sharp as well.
Lol plague. Funniest scene ever and very appropriate
Morning all. :)
We've struggled to turn up for big games since the invincibles season.
I never really felt we were playing like a title winning team, quite a bit of inconsistency and it feels like it's been a while since we've just dominated a team with free flowing football.
Pool wanted it more and dominated us. gg

if they couldn't contact me, it would have been sent to tasmania. srs.
husseyray is a spambot, my favourite one yet
so, last week about 1000 "mates" claiming to be "liverpool supporters" got in touch....... this morning, very quiet.
Haven't watch the game but I've read from a Liverpool perspective the result was fair. Liverpool apparently missed a few clean chances where Arsenal took theirs.Quote:

Most of the hatred is towards Webb who they believe is a biased ref who supports any team Liverpool are playing.
Pool win last week - my FB news feed is full of pictures of my friends in their kits giving the large ones.
Haven't even seen a conceding defeat comment this morning, apart from Jeterpool!
Did anyone here actually watch?
Apparently Sanogo made a good show of himself, did well to create the chance for our first goal. Shame AOC / other players didn't involve him more in celebrating.
Great shots of the bench all getting up and celebrating after the 2nd.
i did no such thing win or loss. keep it to yourselfQuote:

Yes. Liverpool missed 2 golden chances inside 5min then generally dominated after about half hour. Arse played more like the away team. Sanogo looks promising - very strong and gets in good positions. Skills very rusty.Quote:

Arse can consider themselves very lucky to win that game. Wasteful finishing and a corrupt official got u the win.
didn't really seem the arsenal type imo. was quite awkward, like peter crouch, but less effective.Quote:
