Looks like we could be getting Ntep for 10m.

He's from Cameroon, please be like a younger version of Eto'o.
Pls.

Tbf, as much as I like Holtby, with our recent injury woes in midfield you would think Holtby would be playing - the fact he isn't suggests Sherwood isn't going to under basically any circumstances, so we might as well at least loan him out, if not outright sell him.
Capoue, though, is useful, especially given Kaboul is basically a rattly bag of bones and our defence without him (and Verts) is a bit... weak. I know he's not a central defender, but he does a good job of pretending.
I wonder if we'll buy anyone? With Defoe gone, I think we do need another striker to sit on the bench if we're going to stick to 442 - unless Kane can hack it? Who knows.

Signing a young forward with lots of potential from Auxerre, when what we really need is a world class striker. Where have I heard this one before???

Doesn't he have a dodgy heart? Might invite him to my birthday party at the Chinese buffet

It would suck if he died and we didn't have to play or pay him any more. Really terrible.
Look forward to it.
"Soldado" rather than "Saldado" has yet to filter into the commentary box. Bugs me.

Actually looks pretty good on Youtube and Wenger has said this about him before on French TV:
‘Paul George Ntep has the potential to have a great future,’ he said.
‘It all depends on his mind, but he is a great prospect.’
But I don't think Wenger really understands how poor the standard is in the French league right now...
Having said that, if its all true and we sign the kid then I'll 100% support him though. Lets hope he's more Henry/Anelka than Chamakh/Gervinho.
Watching highlights from a Clasico in 2007. Finished 3-3 with 19 year old Messi scoring a hat trick. Most notable thing about the game was the complete lack of cuntery in the game. Neither team made disgraces of themselves which they've been wont to do in more recent Clasico's. Just great football
I think you're probably going to have to get used to an Arsenal-like deadwood contingent at the club for the foreseeable future. It's not going to be possible to get rid of all these people (so soon).
Judging by the amount of names you're all throwing out, you may as well just buy Southampton.

Dong-Won Ji is back at Augsburg?
Augsburg is gonna be beasting if Ji is as good as last season.

;( What happened to Sanogo anyway ? Injured for months now.
Brendan Rodgers has his eyes set on the title
The Merseysiders won a pulsating game at Stoke and Rodgers says his men are still in with a big chance.
It's 24 years since the league crown was lifted at Anfield, but, with 22-goal Luis Suarez around, boss Rodgers (below) reckons anything can happen.
He pointed to the fact that all their games against the top sides are at home, while most of their remaining away matches are against sides in the bottom half of the table.
Enough Rodgers said: "We went into this game, 18 games to go, nine at home and nine away and knowing seven of those away games are against teams in the bottom half.
"That doesn't mean they are gimmes, but I think we have shown enough to be challenging.
We're not going to say we're going to win the league, but we want to be part of the conversation.
"We are getting better all the time. Matches and places like Stoke are where you show your mentality and that was a brilliant win for us.

Schmelzer is awesome
After Bild journalists heavily criticized him and blamed him for the goals in the Germany - Paraquay match, Schmelzer called the Bild "journalist" on the phone. Schmelzer asked the guy why he was blaming Schmelzer for the goal. The "journalist" said: "Don't know, I'll have to watch that scene again."
Fucking Bild

Nice. You have to admit, the man's on a roll.
If Ji is a talent in the Bundesliga, then I do not know what to say.

Arsenal making me proud.
Those Italian attendences are shocking. The govt has to do something with the televisions companies not being allowed to show all the games.
Holtby has had a minor knee injury for the last 3 weeks, that's why he hasn't played. He started at home to West Brom and wasn't fit until last Sunday, when he was on the bench.
We'll get another striker, no doubt about it. We bothered to replace Pavlyuchenko with Saha and we will do the same with Defoe, an older journeyman will come in until the end of the season.

Kagawa was world class in the Bundesliga and is doing shit at all in the PL. Some players are just not suited for some leagues/clubs.
I tried managing Sunderland in FM and he's ridiculously highly rated in the game, like 4.5 star potential or something. I think I just sold him though.

Aah OK, that makes more sense. That said, I'm not sure how Erikson and Holtby would play together anyway. I seem to remember they did in one game (a cup, I think??) and it didn't end up working out all that great.
Can anyone speak German? What does it mean?!
Its getting serious.
Draxler to Arsenal right now and Ilkays dad had a meeting with some Barca guys.

So they're like the Daily Mail?
Nevermind, ignore me then!
Twitter rumblings are saying that we are interested in Doumbia... Please no.
Yeah he definitely seems like a lot of flash with no real end product. 10 goals in Ligue 2 isn't really saying anything. My only worry is we'll buy Ntep and skip out on someone better (Griezmann) and I don't see him playing at all this season. If anything, I think we should just loan him to Rennes immediately after buying him.
Yeah, that West Brom game had Eriksen and Holtby in CM and we were rubbish (although we drew because of a set play). Eriksen has the quality to play pretty much anywhere and still contribute, be it CAM, LW or CM, but Holtby has been shoveled around those same positions and done nowhere near enough. I like him but AVB's penchant for utility players did him a disservice.
Fixed that for you.
