Is this a Muppet list of who you want but know you won't get, or a list of realistic targets?

Go on, Cleff. Let's see that list of yours.

 

[Clegg]

Eh, realistic. LB, CB, CM, LW is what I think we should be after. Konopylanka would be good for the last position. After that, I'm stumped as to who we should get.

Right then.

For me it would be Carvalho, Shaw and Herrera.

 

[Arnie]

We got him for free m8
The board already said they will continue to "upgrade" the squad each year, so it doesn't end up like Barcelona with a bunch of old guys

Fucking :lol

Yea, alright. There might not be a transfer fee but he aint fucking 'free', and he isn't even cheap. People getting paid.

 

[Suen]

Realistic Arsenal targets always come across as fantasy because we all know too well that we'll either go for some unknown 21 y.o forward playing in Ligue 2, or someone known but underwhelming relative to ambitions.

It's really sad because in recent years we're so joyful if we manage to even get a Ligue 1 player.

Getting a Ligue 2 player is like getting some young unproven player and getting a Ligue 1 is like getting Falcao for us.

[Broder Salsa]

Weird how there's not been a big scorer in the Championship this season. Ross McCormack highest by far on 27.

Wonder who our top target will be when we get relegated

To score in the championship you need determination, willpower and strength.

In the 2011/2012 season: Sturridge and Suarez were tied at 11 goals (0 P). RVP was the top scorer with 30 goals (2 P).

2012/2013: RVP top again with 26 goals (3 P). Suarez had 23 while Sturridge once again managed 11 goals (1 P).

This season: Suarez is on 29, Sturridge 20 (0 P between them) while RVP is at 11 goals (2P).

I do hope Suarez breaks the goals record. Managing that despite missing so many games would be quite the feat.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Arse-GAF we should get Keita, and develop him for the future. He's convinced me of becoming a future star, really. Also what happened to Griezmann to Arse rumors?

Seydou Keita?

 

[Yen]

We got him for free m8

I remember when Chamakh was leaving France, and he asked Liverpool for something like €8m as a signing on fee lol

JROD

15 goals, no pens, no free kicks.


Also Hitch your England team is spot on, i posted the same team last week.

So based.

 

[Elchele]

Aren't he and his agent getting a massive signing-on fee, and his wages are inflated due to the 'free' transfer?

nope
we don't even know his salary yet I think

but obviously he will get some money and his agents too because we got him for free. But I think his signing on fee will be divided in his 5 years contract salary

 

[Suen]

Seydou Keita?

nah Lazio Keita

pls Seydou is 34 :lol

He stopped 9 years ago

Can't wait to see City steal the title from you. Gerrard will wonder at what point he made such a big mistake in his life.

 

[Broder Salsa]

If his sign on fee is divided through his 5 years of contract... Wouldn't it just be salary? I think the point of sign on fee's, is you get it when you sign on.

 

[Arnie]

I'd have Henderson over Barkley in that team.

Barkley's gone missing a bit recently, despite scoring wonder goals and having moments of genius. I think he's a year away from being a nailed on England starter, but once he's there he'll be immovable.

 

[arkon]

Liverpool are going to win the title aren't they? There's no stopping that train.

 

[3Sixty]

Just when we thought the performances and superlatives surrounding Southampton’s Adam Lallana could not get any better, they both went up another gear again.

After yet another devastatingly effective display against Newcastle at the heart of Southampton’s side, in which he set up one and scored the best goal of the day, his manager Mauricio Pochettino drew comparisons with Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Cesc Fabregas.

‘We haven’t seen a player like that in this country for a long time,’ Pochettino said. ‘Lately he has had a number of opportunities to get into the England national side so that is a very good thing for him.

‘I am always telling him that he has the characteristics of a Spanish player and he has the skills of a Iniesta, Xavi or Fabregas.’



MoPo the original hype man.

No fucks given.

 

[Wilbur]

HNNNGGHHHH

 

[Elchele]

But then they go ahead and give Robben&Co long contracts. Come on, we're not King Midas, even we can't replace everyone. I hope Guardiola gives some of our talents more playtime now that we've already won Bundesliga.

Of course, also most of our squad are very young

Højbjerg 18
Alaba 21
Gotze 21
Thiago 22
Shaqiri 22
Kroos is just 24 too

 

[Sviatoslav]

nah Lazio Keita

pls Seydou is 34 :lol

Both black. Both former Barca players. How is one supposed to tell them apart? /Bacon

 

[Elchele]

If his sign on fee is divided through his 5 years of contract... Wouldn't it just be salary? I think the point of sign on fee's, is you get it when you sign on.

of course, but I think there was a set salary offered to him when we started to contact him and his agents. And because the transfer didn't happen, Dortmund didn't want to sell after Gotze left, then the option to get him for free came to the table

So they will add a signing on fee to his salary or something like that, I don't remember the details, or if it was just a rumor/BS.

It's kind of like when Javi Martínez "paid" a part of his transfer fee via lowering his salary. Thiago did the same.

Bacon has expert knowledge to differentiate Kieran Gibbs, actually.

You can't be serious

With Lewa and his shithead buddies called agents, you can be sure they'll get damn good money. Sure it's no 40m transfer fee plus huge wages like Götze but still plenty of money spent over the whole contract.

Should have convinced him to go to Madrid bro. Bayern are slowly dominating the league through your their players

#FuckBayern
#FuckUli

El Topo is cool though.

 

[subtles]

The best signings (imo) would be Reus as the "statement of intent" everyone is always begging for, then a LB/CB/CM. Many clubs are looking to fill those positions so I have no idea what we may end up with. I guess a few squad players may be leaving as Rodgers doesn't trust the bench so we'll definitely need to replace them.

Right then.

For me it would be Carvalho, Shaw and Herrera.

Herrera would be a brilliant signing, but It's sad Susaeta gets no love.

it did. obviously it could be bullshit from Bayern, but it's in the official website and everything.

Pranjic (lol) also did the same

 

[Abraxas]

Arse should get Pogba and grab Falcao.















We'll get Diaby (Like a new player innit) and Vucinic on loan.

 

[Wes]

I'd have Henderson over Barkley in that team.

Barkley's gone missing a bit recently, despite scoring wonder goals and having moments of genius. I think he's a year away from being a nailed on England starter, but once he's there he'll be immovable.

Doesn't Barkley play further forward anyway? I thought he was more of a behind the striker midfielder? It'll probably be Wilshere or Henderson alongside Gerrard.

If I was Roy I would set out my team to play as much as like Liverpool as possible. I'd also prefer it if we went 4-3-3 but we can't do that with Rooney and Sturridge. Sturridge has to be the out and out Striker, no more stupid stuff like sticking him out on the wing, leaving the only place Rooney can then play that doesn't compromise the balance of the side is in the hole.

Sterling will get one wing slot. Probably right hand side to link up with Johnson. Lallana on the left.

 

[hiroshawn]

I can't believe Liverpool are gonna win the league.

 

[Elchele]

Man, Afellay was so good during his PSV days

 

[Salvadora]

Would be proper Woy for Wilshere to start despite not earning it.

Looking forward to it.

Herrera would be a brilliant signing, but It's sad Susaeta gets no love.

When United were linked with Herrera last summer I remember wanting him because he played well against us in the Europa League. But I wasn't too cut up when we missed out in him. Having watched him a bit closer this season I'm pretty sure he'd walk into our squad and comfortably be our best midfielder.

 

[Scum]

So, we're all in agreement then. 4-3-3 Liverpool.tac with Sturridge up top or Hodgson doesn't make it back from the South American jungles...
...alive.

Man, Afellay was so good during his PSV days

Where is he nowadays? Still injured?

Not me, brah. 4-4-2. Big man up top. Three lions on the chest. Never say die.

 

[Timurid]

Greizmann, Pogba, and some defender will be great.

Zlatan will score 3 against the shit of london.

 

[Elchele]

he played 20 minutes in a match this season, after coming from injury. Hasn't played any more minutes, don't know if he's having fitness problems or just Tata not having the time/space to give him a chance this far into the season

Sitting on the bench at Barca, he should just leave honestly. In his good days he could have even managed the Arsenal level imo.

 

[Scum]

You know. I had a good laugh when we used to mention StokEngland. But a 4-4-2 with the right old school wingers who can take they're man on and beat them will turn out quite well.

 

[Elchele]

should I put van der Weil in my fantasy team?

same question about Maxwell

pls

Especially will the sort of teams England would face at the World Cup.

Do it well and you'd be successful.

Having watched him a bit closer this season I'm pretty sure he'd walk into our squad and comfortably be our best midfielder.

He was pretty good for quite a while but some ill-fated injuries and the politics that ripped the team apart have played a part in him fading for a bit. I think his best match was in the same season you mentioned where he outplayed Barca's midfield. It was glorious.

He would be a wonderful signing to build the midfield around if you guys can pull it off.

 

[K1LLER7]

Buttner says he is ready for Robben and Bayern.

Either he'll get a red or Robben will get injured.
