And they'd be telling Fabregas that.
These stories tend to come from agents and stuff. It doesn't quite fit.
I mean I have no idea what will happen but I wouldn't be so sure Arsenal are staying silent and smiling as everyone else gets sucked into their trap.
We're done for.
LOL It's only 81 degrees in Miami right now.
Contract is up.
For real lol, its overcast out. Bit humid since it rained all day yesterday.

Inzaghi with Menez and his agent in Ibiza:
Also, Joorabchian is in Milan and might close the deal for Alex. Rami is apparently a little bit closer (he wants to stay with us but Milan won't pay more than €5m probably) as well.

Dude is pretty damn tiny for CB, don't think you will want him starting in there in premier league.
Like seriously. We get 90 to over 100 degree weather here in AR sometimes and I run in it and they're whining over 81 degrees and need fans lol
Sure. And if Fabregas wants to go to Arsenal he would stay quiet. They need someone to bid for him. Why would Chelsea bid if Fabregas tells them he wants to go to Arsenal?
I have no clue what's going to happen.

yeah why not extend the contract?
Obviously point is he can play there against Macclesfield Town in the 5th round of the FA cup if we need him to.
He'd be 4th choice.
We had to come to an agreement for that to happen. An agreement couldn't be reached and thus he is free to leave. He's more than likely going somewhere that could offer a lot more money than we did.
He's a RB. We played Sagna at CB like 3 times all season. It's like a worst case scenario.

He wants a piece of what Clichy and Nasri are getting.

nmd I thought he was younger, he is probably asking for some big wages, for some reason I thought he was 25-27, but at 31 its hard to make the case for him.

Let's have it straight - He's leaving for trophies guys.
Please don't start using whoscored as a scouting system haha
Bad enough clubs use(d?) FM
They're powered by Opta I thought they were fairly decent and I check out players there all the time. It usually has all the goal, assists and position stats. And what clubs used FM lol?
He just won one mate.

Perfection.
Christ, that is amazing.
I am an ex-Marc.
Well... shit. The pre-e3 news is insane, created a summary thread and forgot about it, need to update it apparently.
2014 is a shit year, unless we win the world cup, no pressure Woy.
Yurt, as president of the good taste club I am forced to listen to you on this matter. Love you Wooden, you silly bastard.
Hmm, broken families everywhere, good time to launch.
I'd be very happy with him the Feyenoord fans seem happy with him?
Adkins is never a prem manager
Yeah but... eredivisie, Schteve McLaren won that...
That's not true, don't say it! He can be a prem manager, just needs time. Too late now anyway, will move about in the championship for a bit then goto Scotland or somewhere.

Opta are pretty questionable on a fair few things aswell.
Football just doesn't lend itself to statistical analysis that easily IMO. Some may think that's a really archaic view of it but they can piss off.

real ones not neighborhood tournaments.
City are shit in the CL.

I noticed.
You guys will think it's trolling but he's after more serious honours. Arsenal wouldn't have been happy winning FA cups alone a few years back. You only felt such joy because of the drought.
I'm not saying the money doesn't matter - it always does, but the trophies is the clincher, IMO.

And now they will do well with Arsenal being the feeder club
Obviously, but it can give you a rough idea of a player you haven't watched closely. Like in Aurier's case.

We've been their feeder for years.

Pretty sure SI has some pretty extensive databases that are not released with the main games, which is what they license out to some clubs (the first being Moyes at Everton haha). Apparently comparable to wyscout that most big clubs also use, so it's not really that crazy. It's pretty common sense to have these huge database tools.

I strongly disagree.
Whoscored stats would tell you Evra was the best LB in this years Premierleague.
He definitely wasn't in the top 5, probably 10.
Lol, you're right. Well I hope our scouts are good, because we've apparently scouted him extensively.

I wouldnt worry about it, you guys still have a 10 year lead over Liverpool's EPL drought

its a mixed of both, some stuff in football can be helpful others cant, you cant look at it like baseball or other sports. Stats are not definitive, but then again you cant just ignore a guy with a 30% pass accuracy, its a mix of both.

I agree.
The unreleased stats which Wooden mentioned may be helpful too because from what I understand they are a lot more situational.
But these high level ones which are put through a filter to generate a rating - they're not very useful and especially when you're trying to judge a player you've never seen play.

No. You are wrong.

In all seriousness, he has only just been declared for them. Hard to say anything much about him, when there's so many other promising players actually starting for them

Let me just give you what you want you prick
Arghhh he's amazing don't say bad things about United I hate youuuuu
thank me after i passed my thesis haha. but they say i should give out the completion with my thesis at the same time. thats what im doing tmw. its happening. im nervous.
Lallana a year ago when signing his shiny new 5 year contract.
"I've been at the club since I was 12 and I can only see my future lying with Southampton FC," Lallana said.
"I can't wait to work with the new management team and the lads to continue our progress in the Premier League. It was an easy decision for me with the direction the club is going in.
"If someone was to say that I'd end my career playing for Southampton in the Premier League then I'd snap your hand off for it."
The mug.

He can still come back for a week when he's 35.
