Not until they sort out their marginally calamitous midfield and defence. Mikel and Lampard? Terry? Not good enough to win a championship I think.

Really need another more defensive minded midfielder (sell Meireles and get a replacement pls), don't think there's anything wrong with the defense at all though, especially now after getting Azpilicueta so Ivan can be moved in centrally. Is Terry too slow now? Probably, Luiz and Cahill have both shown the ability to play on the very highest level though.

 

[Arnie]

Wait so, who's Dembele going to? If its up to the player to decide, didn't he say he wanted to play for a big club with CL football.

Tottenham apparently.

Really not sure why Arsenal are so laxidasical in sorting Walcott's contract out, they're not exactly fluent in attack at the moment and Walcott's been a consistent scorer and creator for them in the last few years. They looked a lot more threatening when he came on during the Stoke game.

The transfer window coming to a close + Twitter is making me want to just run into a wall.

I love it; a cup of tea plus twitter and you're set for a few hours of nonsense.

 

[Kyoufu]

I don't want the window to close until we sign Debuchy.

 

[pappe]

I can't think of a club with 4 good strikers in modern football, just Manchester United. You're pretty much set to go with 2 strikers and some CAM or young striker as emergency backup.

City - Delos,balotelli tevez aguero
Liverpool - Carroll, borrini, Suarez
Madrid- CR7 hi guan,benzema and callejon ?

I've just realised how brilliant your avatar is.

 

[Yen]

If Dembele leaves Fulham, that means Adam can leave.

In what world CR7 and Callejón are strikers? Suárez is used as winger.
City is just insane.

Credit goes to whoever made it. I can't remember

It's risky. If Torres gets injured, I feel like Chelsea's team will not function.

You need at least 3, preferably 4, different kinds of striker.

Figueroa just scored an amazing goal.

Was thinking that, £5 million out of that 15 and you've got yourself a very competent midfielder; or even better just trade us Dempsey.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Great Wigan goal!

Yeah, 3 strikers is good for a top team. But one of them should be able to play in other position (as winger or SS)

:O

 

[Clegg]

Didn't he say Van Persie's agent had outlined a contract with City? I think it was reported a few places (£225k) but Van Persie decided to join United instead.

He even said when RVP would join City.

 

[Willkiller]

I don't want the window to close until we sign Debuchy.

But then we'd literally lose everyone and end up with a squad of Ameobis with Shola as manager.

 

[ATF487]

Figueroa!

Fulham are not letting Dempsey go even for a good amount. Why would hey let Dembele go easily?

 

[K1LLER7]

Viva, who's the BBC reporter who says Dembele to United?

 

[pappe]

Dunno about Callejon but CR7 played as striker occasionally and so does Suarez.

 

[Arnie]

Viva was saying that he's into the final year of his contract. It's either sell for a juicy amount, or let him wander off next summer.

 

[Yen]

Suarez has been used as a striker these last two games, to poor effect. We'd much rather see him out wide and Borini in the middle.

Viva was saying that he's into the final year of his contract. It's either sell for a juicy amount, or let him wander off next summer.

Clinton is also out of contract next year (is that who you're referring too?).

 

[elsk]

Exactly. But they aren't strikers. You could probably play Nani as false 9 too.

But having Chicharito, RvP, Welbeck, Berba is very stupid in modern football. I'm not even counting Rooney because at least he could as CAM.

 

[Gareth Bale]

He even said when RVP would join City.

Are you talking about this article or a different one?

Isn't Dempsey in the last yr of his contract too?

 

[ATF487]

I think they'd let Dempsey go if they got a good offer...just no one has made an official one. Apparently he burned his bridges thinking he'd be off to Anfield before LFC checked their cash balance

 

[Clegg]

It was a Twitter thing, I think.

Probably exerpts from that article.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Do Forest not give a shit about this match?

 

[dc89]

City showed him round the north west and the best places to live. Then United sign him >.>

 

[LegoArmo]

What a goal. Wigan are on fire.

 

[Ushojax]

I think Martin Jol would rather sell Drmbele to his dear Spurs rather than to United. Assuming Dembele is happy to join Spurs.

I really hope it's true.

A first choice trio of Sandro, Sigurdsson and Dembele, with Parker, Van Der Vaart, Livermore as back up? Pure sex.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

What a brilliant set of goals

THat looks great, but isn't VdV supposed to be going back to Germany?

VDV is a backup now? Why? Surely he is better than sig.

 

[ATF487]

Wigan look so good, glad I decided to watch this

 

[PJX]

Liverpool fans actually want Walcott? Am I in bizarro world?

 

[Bumhead]

We've got Crystal Palace away on Saturday. Palace are currently losing 3-1 to hapless League One side Preston and have lost 3 out of 3 in the league. We are 17 games unbeaten and currently drawing 0-0 with Premiership Fulham.

Might be wise to stick a Crystal Palace win on your weekend accumulators.. *cough*

 

[Kyoufu]

But then we'd literally lose everyone and end up with a squad of Ameobis with Shola as manager.

We'd get a lot of money for our star players. People who cried at losing Carroll were silly. We made bank on him!

 

[Salvadora]

Liverpool fans actually want Walcott? Am I in bizarro world?

Why wouldn't they want him?

 

[Ushojax]

THat looks great, but isn't VdV supposed to be going back to Germany?

No. Anything can happen but all Hamburg have done is pine for him whilst complaining they can't afford him. Levy will not sell our best CAM on the cheap.

VDV is a backup now? Why? Surely he is better than sig.

They are pretty much interchangeable. Both had similar stats last season. I would still prefer to start Gylfi as his set plays are amazing, but VDV starting would be totally fine.

 

[Clegg]

Why wouldn't they want him?

He isn't that good.

I don't but the argument that he's underrated. He's wasteful in possession and doesn't offer enough of a threat for someone with so much speed.

 

[Arnie]

Liverpool fans actually want Walcott? Am I in bizarro world?

He's very underrated in my opinion.

See above. Then evaluate what he's given Arsenal (a consistent Champions League club) over the last few years.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Why wouldn't they want him?

Yeah overpriced British players seems exactly like what Liverpool would go for, it's tradition.

 

[dc89]

If City sign Walcott you have to start to ask did Sheikh Mansour buy City accidentally and he actually wanted to buy Arsenal.

He's spent the past 4 years trying to put that right if so.

 

[PJX]

Why wouldn't they want him?

Because he sucks.

 

[pappe]

We'd get a lot of money for our star players. People who cried at losing Carroll were silly. We made bank on him!

Only because you managed to sign the Demba's. Doubt you can manage to replace your stars easily again.

 

[Fry]

No. Anything can happen but all Hamburg have done is pine for him whilst complaining they can't afford him. Levy will not sell our best CAM on the cheap.

Got it.

Spurs getting stronger makes me lose hope for top 4. I thought Liverpool could do it until today.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I'd be happy with Walcott for £12million or less, as long as he wasn't on ridiculous wages.

 

[Dibbz]

Even Theo is leaving now? For fucks sake can't we keep hold of anyone.

Fuck him. He's shite. I'd love to see him out of the club. He is so useless. He cannot dribble, his first touch is non existent, his passing is rubbish, he can barely read the game. How he has managed to stay at Arsenal this long is mind blowing. Thank God the Ox is here so we can finally move on.

 

[pappe]

If he is your best CAM why would Gylfi start ahead of him?

In Carr We Trust!

They don't play the same position.
