Blah blah lightning. I have seen Theo achieve nothing in his eight years at Arsenal.
Alan Hansen was always spot on when he said Theo lacked a brain. The guy can only run and cut back.
Sure Gnabry is raw, but he has already shown more intelligence than Theo. At the same age no one even would pass to Theo everyone knew how garbage he was.

He's also a good finisher. I'd love to see him played on the left.
he's not a very tricky player, but he doesn't need to when he can use his pace so effectively. he made Giroud look like a competent striker, he had a great link-up with RVP... put an Ozil behind him and a Sanogo or a Sanchez for him to pass to, he'll destroy PL full backs.
I mean, all Ronaldo does is cut in and shoot. who cares? it works. it's effective. Walcott's production has been very good for several seasons now, even with a questionable supporting cast. He's good.
If he stays healthy he can get 25 goals in all comps.
Alan Hansen is an absolute moron.
Theo is very effective at what he does and scores and assists at a frequent rate because of that. Theo also prevented fullbacks from bombing forward on his side because of his pace and presence but Theo linked up brilliantly with RVP and even with Giroud.
Shame that injury ruined his season last year. Will be great to see Theo and Özil in action together.

ronaldo takes people on and has purpose in his attacks. Theo's first thought is always where is Sagna.
RVP made Theo look good because he can juat bury all types of balls given to him.
And I am wondering how much the injury will effect his speed, because if that is gone he is truly dead.

Decent movie that.
Not true, he once said "you can't win anything with kids" and he was damn right about that.
They just did, official site is confirming the transfer. The price is supposed to be around 15 million. Promes will earn 3 million euros each year.

I never questioned that Spartak might buy him, I said they wouldn't pay 15 million for it. And 3 million is above Spartak's wage cap, so your dutchy sources are definitely exaggerating here.
Hmm strange, are Russian sites reporting anything about this transfer? Maybe they have the different number

9 million is the most common number reported here. Some even go as low as 6.5. Wage reported at ~2 million.
Spartak are known to be fairly cheap. Their fans are generally quite frustrated by it. The club has spent a lot of money building their new stadium so transfer resources are limited. 15 million just screams to be unrealistic all things considered.

Not. a. single. Norwegian. team. in. a. European. tournament.
Jesus fucking christ... How far are we going to keep sinking? I would gladly trade Stabæk, my favorite team, winning the league that one time for the days when Rosenborg would predictably win the league every fucking year. Not very exciting, but we had consistent team in every season of the Champions League, and our national team was qualifying for the World Cup and Euros. I'm a fan of Norway first and foremost, before a Stabæk fan. I will gladly cheer for any Norwegian team or athlete that is competing at the top levels of whichever sport, but especially in what is supposed to be my favorite sport, football. This shit is just depressing. I watch less and less football for every year that passes.

So LVG is allegedly worried about Vidal's knee but wouldn't mind signing Strootman, a player who tore his cruciate ligament, with all that it entails? Interesting.

Strootman copies Louis V into all his communications with his doc. Vidal won't even tell us his blood type. Pussy.

That sucks. Molde really choked there at the end too, from what I'm reading. Ouch.

All of them. Darjeeling is probably the worst of the bunch, but pretty much everyone lists his movies in a different order, so you might like it more than I did.

Watch The Royal Tenenbaums, it's amazing.
It's a new game mode that simulates what it's like to manage in the style of David Moyes...
mreh, it's always like that, they are not sharing, is just those are the possible, but there is an order like
1. Xavi
2. Iniesta
3. Messi?
4. Busquets
It's just that from the list of 4 of last year 2 players are not in Barcelona anymore.
Still unusual though. There is normally a Captain, and vice captain. I guess that will be, Xavi & Iniesta.
I'd watch the Royal Tenenbaums next but if you like his general style, you can't really go wrong with any of them.

Wes Anderson is one of my all time favorite directors so here's my list.
1. The Royal Tenenbaums
2. Rushmore
3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
4. Bottle Rocket
5. Moonrise Kingdom
6. Fantastic Mr. Fox
7. Darjeeling Limited
8. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (I know a lot of people love this one but it was my least favorite. Just picked up the Blu-ray so it'll be nice to revisit it since my first watch)

I love Life Acquatic, but it is very hit and miss for many people.
Rushmore is great.
Rushmore is great.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is the GOAT. It's not just my favorite Wes Anderson film, but one of my top 5 or 10 films of all time. It's Wes Anderson going a bit more out there then usual combined with a brilliant lead performance by Bill Murray. The Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom are also great. Been forever since I've seen Rushmore or Bottle Rocket.

You are gonna have one hell of a time.
This shows about the level of intelligence I would expect from a writer working at The Sun.
I say this because this is the same bullshit the tabloids and 'colour commentators' trot out every season with complete disregard for the actual facts.
Fact is, Theo is one of the best finishers in our squad and the only player to genuinely put fear through class opposition like Barca. We missed him greatly last season.
His game sense has improved remarkably in these last couple of years - his finishing, too.
Remember when everyone was going on about how Lennon was better? What a joke that was.
If you think we would get in a guy like Shad and not have him run the rule over the fitness coaches, you're having a laugh.
This isn't cricket. 'Captain' is just a title; it doesn't mean much except for increased media duties. Usually there are several 'captains' in a squad.
He's not.
Then it's a pointless addition.
So the guy he's working alongside - he is going to have no input there? Seriously? What bullshit are you reading.
"Wenger has previously vowed to look at his side's training and medical methods after repeated problems with injuries and the revelation that Arsenal players were unavailable for more days last season than at any other Premier League club.
It is thought that Forsythe has been appointed to help modernise their injury prevention methods at their training ground."
You seriously think our fitness regime isn't being looked at? That is the whole reason we got Shad in ffs.
?
Where did I say any of that?
You said he is running the rule. I said he is not.
I said as long as Tony Colbert is still there we will have issues.
Shad is not Tonys boss. They are working alongside each other.
You need to calm down. I never said the fitness regime isn't being looked at.
"The 40-year-old American will work alongside Tony Colbert, Arsenal's first-team fitness coach for the last 16 years,"
So just like real life then?
