Support NeoGAF

[Splatt]

Arsenal still lacks that one midfielder that they need to play 2 sided triangles.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I want to try a chicken parm

One of you smoggy types send me one

Also how do people feel about a northern or general footyGAF meet up? Say fa cup final in Manchester or something?

What about a footyGAF 5-a-side tournament

A meet up would be awesome as would a 5 a side tournament!

 

[omgkitty]

Podolski will probably play out wide for you. Chamakh and Park aren't good enough either. Giroud could come good but imo Arsenal haven't done enough to replace RVP.

Haven't signed a Song replacement either.

Park is at Celta Vigo.

 

[pappe]

I hope Sahin starts this weekend.

Dunno abt starting as he might not be match fit but he will at least play some part

 

[Kyoufu]

Podolski will probably play out wide for you. Chamakh and Park aren't good enough either. Giroud could come good but imo Arsenal haven't done enough to replace RVP.

Haven't signed a Song replacement either.

They thought they could just grab Tiote from us...

Haha.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Don't know why I'm the most annoyed; we didn't replace Andy Carroll, but Spurs didn't replace Luka Modric.

According to our chairman we did.

Villas-Boas must be pretty pissed off right now.

 

[Salvadora]

Podolski will probably play out wide for you. Chamakh and Park aren't good enough either. Giroud could come good but imo Arsenal haven't done enough to replace RVP.

Arsene said he didn't want to play him like that.

 

[Timbuktu]

Podolski will probably play out wide for you. Chamakh and Park aren't good enough either. Giroud could come good but imo Arsenal haven't done enough to replace RVP.

I think he's gone.

 

[Arnie]

I hope Sahin starts this weekend.

He will, he's our only midfielder who's completely fresh.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Don't see why dc is complaining. City hardly needed improving.

 

[snoopen]

Will arsenal score or concede more goals this season?

 

[near]

Yup, pretty afraid of Spurs, but their midfield is sorta thin as well.

Don't think its going to work. We signed Dembele and Dempsey when AVB didn't want either of them. How will they even fit into our system? If Ade gets injured Defoe is he's replacement, Defoe is wank. We have no cover for Bale or Lennon. AVB is probably pissed. I'm fucking disappointed we sold Modric and vdV and effectively weakened our squad. Lloris is a bonus but we could have done another season with Brad anyway. Levy am cry. I don't expect us to sign Moutinho in some sort of surprise signing now.

 

[bud23]

Essien to Madrid. :lol

L.Diarra off to Anzhi.

Right,essien ceded for this season and Lass to Anzhi by 5 million euros.

 

[Meier]

Funny story about Levy..

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas today accused Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy of moving the goalposts at the 11th hour over the transfer of Hugo Lloris.

Aulas claimed negotiations with Levy were the hardest of his 25 years at the top and warned it was "50-50" whether France goalkeeper Lloris joined Spurs before tonight's 11pm transfer deadline.

Tottenham have been linked with a £13million move for Lloris all summer and Aulas admitted they had agreed personal terms with the player.

Speaking after this afternoon's Europa League draw in Monaco, he said: "We have had people speaking all night with Daniel Levy. He talks a lot and goes back on what we've agreed in writing.

"The things as they were at 5am were not the same at 10am. I think we have to make sure we get a certain amount of value because it's important that Hugo can go to a quality club that allows him to do himself justice from a value point of view, so that he can feel right about it.

[Sloosha]

Giroud and Podolski? I don't think City needed anyone to be honest. Chelsea has plenty of defenders, but they could've signed a new DM/CM surely.

Liverpool lack of strikers and Manchester Utd lack of DM are the most incredible ones.

Yep. Think we needed to strengthen the DM/CM position. The Lamps/Mikel partnership doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

 

[Willkiller]

Oh shit it's Friday!

Football tomorrow. I totally forgot bahaha. No real interesting games but it should be good to see a new faces in action.

 

[Clegg]

Mourinho still loves Essien,

Had no idea that Park wasn't with Arsenal anymore.

But why is Chamakh still there?

 

[Arnie]

Villas-Boas must be pretty pissed off right now.

Dread to think what Rodgers is feeling.

 

[LanceVance]

What about a footyGAF 5-a-side tournament

Dunno about that, doicare could pick up an injury

 

[Ushojax]

Doubt it's happened. Decidedly less scared of Spurs than I was a few hours ago.

I doubt it will happen but Levy is still trying I'm sure. He will try and get an exemption if they get a breakthrough within the hour.

 

[omgkitty]

Mourinho still loves Essien,

But why is Chamakh still there?

Because we needed cover at the position...so we kept a "STRIKER" who hasn't scored since September of last year.

 

[José Mourinho]

Ashley Cole ‏@TheRealAC3
Wellll that was a lesson, absolute joke no fight, desire, passion, and a big reality check!!!!!! #sorrycfcfans

Indeed.

"I would need to be a nutcase even to consider at this moment to let Carroll go out (on loan)" Brendan Rodgers, Aug 23

Whoops.

 

[elsk]

Mourinho still loves Essien,

Making room for Sahin.

Funny story about Levy..


http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...posts-in-transfer-of-hugo-lloris-8099598.html

Levy let us down. He cares more about money than success, he sacked Harry for no reason and now AVB isn't getting the support he was promised. :/

 

[Kyoufu]

"I would need to be a nutcase even to consider at this moment to let Carroll go out (on loan)" Brendan Rodgers, Aug 23

Whoops.

He's just trying to get someone to panic buy.

Rodgers never intended Carroll to stay EVER.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Dread to think what Rodgers is feeling.

 

[PJX]

Don't know why I'm the most annoyed; we didn't replace Andy Carroll, but Spurs didn't replace Luka Modric.

I don't feel bad at all because I'm not expecting much from this season. New manager, new players and new style of play that the players will have to get use to.

At the beginning of last year's summer transfer window I was optimistic about the approaching season, that was until I saw the players Daglish was bringing in. My hopes of us being competitive went out the window. Then pretty much gave up with his treatment of players like Maxi, Meireles and Kuyt.

 

[K1LLER7]

Henriquez still not been announced??

 

[Hoplatee]

In (10):

Schøne, Poulsen, Moisander, Babel, Sana, Andersen, Meleg, van Kessel, Hoesen & Boccara.

Out (16):

Ozbiliz, Verhoeven, Lodeiro, Bulykin, el Hamdaoui, Vertonghen, Castillion, Jozefzoon, Ooijer, Silva, Anita, Janssen, Cvitanich, van der Wiel, Sneijder & Aissati.

Got in: 29 million
Spent: 4 million

I'm good.

Oh man, what will you do without Verhoeven!

Anyway, yeah. Think they sold well, got some decent new people in. Glad most Dutch teams stayed pretty much intact / improved. Just not Heerenveen and Feyenoord I guess Will be a fun year between Ajax, PSV & Twente.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Henriquez still not been announced??

It's done. Was no proper announcement for some reason but it's definitely all done.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Didn't realize the French transfer window doesn't close until next week either, could still ship off Malouda!

 

[Soi-Fong]

Henriquez still not been announced??

Though I saw he was gonna play for United in a U-21 match.

 

[Lakitu]

Rory Smith on Twitter is saying FSG are reluctant to put any more major investment into the club. Saying last summer was all they were prepared to do and from now on it's self sufficiency the whole way.

Nice.

Next summer - Sahin - Frogson plz.

Well, it looks like we're not getting into the Champions League anytime soon, not with that attitude.

 

[Ushojax]

Wat

We have had a great window. If we don't get Moutinho it's because we simply can't afford it.

Adam Day™ ‏@AdamDo_DaDay
From the director of communications at Fulham, Sarah Brookes, 30 minutes ago outside Motspur park, "Liverpool only offered £3m for Dempsey".

If that's true.....amazing.

 

[K1LLER7]

Surprised it wasn't announced, wasn't on the United website either iirc.

Though I saw he was gonna play for United in a U-21 match.

Hasn't played yet but he was at the last match.

Sir Alex Ferguson describes Rooneys injury as a "blessing" in the forwards battle for fitness

SAF is basically admitting that Rooney is a came back unfit and overweight.

Oh wow hahaha

To be honest 6m is a great price but he's 29 and isn't necessarily exactly what Spurs needed.

Suarez needs to step it up massive

So it wasn't on Fulham's end then.

 

[Willkiller]

Dunno about that, doicare could pick up an injury

I believe I'd be the Falcao of FootyGAF

 

[rvy]

I'm not ready for this shit, I'll drink myself to death tonight.

 

[Salvadora]

Arteta was 29.

Time to put this window behind me with an avatar change. :/

Yep.

2 weeks into the new season and your star player is overweight Fergie. Something to think about surely.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Don't see why dc is complaining. City hardly needed improving.

Rovers didn't improve when we won the league.....

Perfect, Rooney needs to lose weight and get back to his best or else he'll find himself playing second to Kagawa and RVP.

Looking forward to Sundays game.

Hope springs and all that.

Everyone knew, Rooney should have copied Tevez, came back ready and slim. But as the season goes he does get better and slimmer. Now it's even fucked further, a month out isn't good news for his fitness, going to take even longer for him to be back to prem fitness.

 

[ShogunX]

Rovers didn't improve when we won the league.....

Now you have a wealth of top Portuguese talent! Problem?
