Although Arsenal are snoozing a bit, M'Villa is basically done.



So far Arsenal have bought Podolski and (practically) M'Villa. They also put a bid in for Giroud and are interested in Dempsey.

I think they need another solid defender though, dont know why they didnt push for Vertonhogen.

You seem to have some kind of inside knowledge about Arsenal's transfer dealings. The most logical reason for this is that you are in fact Pat Rice.

Aquilani and Diame (it rhymes) in, so no one has to suffer seeing Adam and Spearing ever playing for LFC again.

Doubt Aquilani will stay.

 

[rodvik]

Sky Sports reckons we're signing Joe Mattock on a free.

I didn't know he was still only 22. Seems to have been one of those players who'se been around for ages. He was fucking quality until he got his big money move to West Brom and has been shit since. Tons of potential to tap into at that age though and would be a cracking signing for nowt.

He's a brawler as well so will go well with Madine, Reda and Ranger if we get him.

I think thats a good signing. Looking forward to you lot next season.

 

[Wilbur]

Aquilani, Diame and Sigurdsson are such big improvements on Adam, Spearing and Henderson it's unreal.

I was just thinking Liverpool need more central midfielders.

Time to mercy kill Spearing behind the back of his barn, ship Adam off to someplace where they really want a fat Steven Gerrard, and just give Henderson EXP Share

I hope you're right about M'Vila.The lack of transfer news is making me nervous.

Gerrard (always injured, old), Lucas (injured), Henderson (overused), Spearing (nowhere near good enough), Charlie Adam (Charlie Adam). That is a group in desperate need of improvement,

 

[Zabojnik]

I guess I must be the only one here who doesn't have a hard on for Aquilani. He's a decent midfielder with sparks of brilliance, but that's about it. And that's not counting his chronic injuries ... Everybody seems to be judging his potential, not his actual performances.

We're comparing him to Charlie Adam. Charlie. Adam.

We have no playmaker and Aquilani would fit right in. Had a great six months at Liverpool, and he was never seen again...

Oh yeah. Charlie Adam

Just saw it. You can tell this is going to get bad. UEFA denying it was racially motivated too.

Fucking hell, UEFA hahahaha. How shameless can you be

I'm not familiar with this Charlie Adam fella, I take it he's not that great? Anyway, Aquilani is not bad, I just never saw him as much of a difference maker. The fact that both Juve and Milan passed on him is pretty symptomatic, at least in my book.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

I really hope that players do start to leave the pitch if harassed and if they are going to book them, they should stage a mass walk off.

 

[Clegg]

The Euros are going to be a shambles aren't they?

And the World Cup in Russia will be 10 times worse.

Yeah, just said that to my mum. I know it's not representative of the country as a whole but its not the fucking point really.

 

[Awesome Animals]

WTH Poland/Ukraine! Do you understand some of the hardships your people had to endure when they emigrated from your country?




Any up for some FIFA?

@ncustisTheSun reporting #MUFC are attempting to sign #THFC midfielder Luka Modric for up to £25m

While I'd love him and that price would be great, it isn't going to happen.

Honestly, if we can get M'Vila for £20m then that would be fantastic. Pissing off Wenger would also be fantastic.

Just people getting crazy with 'shop, since there are a million rumors surrounding the new jersey. And most of them suck balls. Nike being Nike.

Agreed. £25m is probably £10m short of what Spurs would wan for Modric.

I've also just seen this:

Manchester United agree deal to sign Angelo Henriquez

Take with a pinch of salt because its the Mirror.

 

[rodvik]

I think we will be having a lot of reminders of ongoing European tensions over the next few weeks. I think the unpleasantness will kick off with the Poland/Russia game.

The Euros are going to be a shambles aren't they?

And the World Cup in Russia will be 10 times worse.

Yup.

You'd piss me off as well.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Yup. Flag should move left a little for much lols.

You should move the flag closer to the body for hilarity factor.

My Flag is ready!

 

[rodvik]

My Flag is ready!

lol

 

[Stubo]

Haha perfect!

I'm very hesitant to get remotely excited about the Modric mumblings, but after supposedly actually being in the chase for Hazard it can be believed that a big signing is possible? I really shouldn't talk myself into muppet mode, but maybe there is more scope to do so than I previously thought about...

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Maybe I should add the three lions for the tournament

 

[Wilbur]

Let's sign him

You don't need a new kit if there isn't going to be a league, silly!

obviously joking.

^I'm okay with that. I need to stop watching football one day anyway................

I don't rate Aquilani that highly either, even when he played for us. He was so inconsistent!!

But who knows, he might be the midfielder Liverpool are looking for! At worst, he's very decent.

Dat third star LOL

 

[Sleepy]

The only two Arsenal stories of note so far are RVP to City/Juventus and M'Vila to Arsenal, neither seem to be progressing very much.

This isn't a done deal though, right? I still think Arsenal will keep him.

The Euros are going to be a shambles aren't they?

And the World Cup in Russia will be 10 times worse.

A colleague of mine was actually asking about the violence/racism, etc, and showed me some youtube clips. And this from a guy who knows nothing about football but has heard of the violence. I did my best to explain the situation, but I think I made it worse. Really difficult to cast the Euros in a good light...

 

[jtb]

I refuse to believe M'Vila is done (or even close to being done) until it's on the website. I never doubt the board's eagerness to not spend money on proven players.

Spoiler

fucking Mata. never again letting my hopes get crushed like that!

edit: and all signs point to Juve and RVP in the courting stages. won't be surprised if the deal goes through - I hope it does, actually. RVP goes to a world class team that's not in the EPL, and we get a decent fee without having to face him (lol group stage seedings will probably fuck us over here) in the league. could strengthen the lineup too... poldolski + giroud, perhaps? and another defender/midfielder? I could live with that. a bit more balanced, not reliant on any single player.

Plus, fuck City. since when does city need ANOTHER big money forward?

That's kind of what we need though. "At worst, decent." right now we have "at best decent, at worst, horrifying"

Charlie Adam has no game intelligence whatsoever. The only thing he does is attempt 50 yard passes. At least once per game he will be caught with the ball 25 yards from his own goal. Add to that, he is "stocky" and one of the slowest players we have.

He be a great signing for a relegation candidate or long ball side - West Ham?
