I am happy for him. It finally came to an end. Having Mandzukic and Lewandowski is nearly overkill, but Bayern keeps hammering with their transfers lately... Thiago, Götze, and now Lewandowski. I havent seen a club having so many great players from 1-22.

Suarez caliber?
We signed a vastly superior player who will dominate the league for the next five years. Suarez is arguably your second or third best player to have played for Liverpool in the last 20 years. I do not know if he would even crack our top 10 of the last 10 years. Henry, Viera, Pires, Bergkamp, Fabregas, RVP, Big Gay Sol, Cashley Ozil
maybe just crack the top 10
Ozil had 3 games for you and you're already putting him next to the likes of Henry and Bergkamp?
"Big gay Sol"?

Going to my first CL game next week
With the recent results in mind that could be a hell of a night
Cool great first game to go to. Europeans nights are always so much better than regular games. When the music starts you will be buzzing!!!!! Also the passion of the away fans is always something that makes it even more special.
As an Italian, I hope you get beat
sorry
Regardless of the amount of games he IS the best nr. 10 worldwide. He might not score that much like Henry or Dennis, and is not that spectacular but he is a killer with his passes.
You put Ozil in the category of Fabregas after 3 fucking games?
Fabregas carried a team of idiots for years ensuring we mainatined our CL football, helped us play some of the best football we've seen, played with a broken leg, when his grandfather passed away etc... No just NO dude.
And you are underestimating how good Suarez is by a long way. He would waltz straight into any of our teams under Wenger when he plays like he did last season.
He's outstanding. I'm delighted to have him but he should not be compared to those who have done it for us until he is done it for us.
He is playing safe just like his football tactics.
If we end up getting battered a few more times he says I told you so. If we manage to win he says we are doing better than expected. Just making his position absolutely safe and keeping the media off his back by giving the impression he knows what he is doing.

No, i was talking about the caliber of the players. I think all those players are better than Suarez so Arsenal have had a higher caliber of player the last ten years. So i d not know what he was chatting about.
Big Gay Sol is Sol Campbell's nickname

You misinterpreted what I meant, i never said anything about best player but he had mentioned caliber of the player. Ozil is a higher caliber of player IMO.
I rate Suarez, but he is slighly overrated. His conversion rate is awful.
Also if you are talking about him walking in, what position would that be at???
That's debateable though, Ozil for all we know could want to leave after 2 years. Would you line him up next to Cesc and Henry then? I doubt it.No, i was talking about the caliber of the players. I think all those players are better than Suarez so Arsenal have had a higher caliber of player the last ten years. So i d not know what he was chatting about.

He has the talent but he needs to produce for us and he is off to a cracking start at doing that.
Chances are greater we get beat, I have to be realistic. That's why I need a ticket to the Celtic game too, then our odds are better.
True, but he is the best player you have in you squad since Cesc. And Özil has proven himself with Real and the national team. Its the same with all great teams. The individual only shines if the rest of the squad is good too. Arsenal 2004-2006 had Henry, yes, but he wasnt the only great player back then.

Of course not, but i was never talking about legacy. Just about the types of players who have played for us. I would put 9 players who have shown superior form to Suarez. So Arsenal have had higher caliber players to Liverpool the last ten years.
It always angered me reading the comments that Suarez was too good for Arsenal, even from Ian Wright and Lee Dixon

Personally I like and prefer Cazorla to Ozil. Both have pretty similar flaws too. Though I know most of you would disagree with me.

Cazorla has some of the best feet I have ever seen. Plays one-twoa to himself all day.

Surely getting up early and actually having to go to lectures is worse?
Iin the end it comes down to efficiency. The better player is the one that improves the team and all that matters are results.
*Looks at jtb's history regarding Liverpool's comments*
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I love it when jtb talks about Liverpool.
Ozil is much better than Cazorla at dictating play and finding the right pass but Cazorla scores more goals and takes more shots on goal.
At least you're getting up for something.
I've been awake for the last hour getting ready for Uni when I could have been sleeping. I could always go out for that haircut I've been meaning to get. But its raining so fuck that.

So, Balo said to the ref "I'll kill you" after the game vs Napoli and because of that: Milan left him alone, Allegri clearly stopped defending him, he'll miss the next three Serie A games (he'll play vs Ajax, of course) and he's going to be fined 240k euros.
I, for once, like what Milan and Galliani are doing. Better get this guy on the right path now (it seems pretty late to me, but it's worth trying) than having him end his career like Cassano. Milan is pretty much his last chance, if he wants to become an important player for both the club and Italy.

Alright so maybe he hates Liverpool, but I'm sure there's an element of science behind it and not just cold-blooded, calculated hate-mongering.
The German journalists were shitting their pants.
im sure the dortmund players shat their pants

Just seems crazy that United were willing to spend that amount of money, but would not give Everton a couple eztra million for Baines.
Something does not add up.

Neither that article or Perez say how much United bid. 40m maximum if I had to guess.
All it says is that a bid was made by ManUtd

He'll be gone before the end of the season.

Yes, surely Ozil is just a higher caliber of player. This is why when you offered Liverpool the same amount you offered Real for Ozil, you got laughed at and told to beat it.

TWO HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND EUROS
I get that that's peanuts for professional footballer but where is the money going?
I watched Skyfall yesterday on sky and had a smile on my face even the movie sucked so much. Klopp knew why he had chosen Bond...

We live in a world where Gareth Bale is the most ezpensive player ever. Valuations dont mean jack shit.
I hope Liverpool and their fans enjoy having a player who would rather be anywhere else other than Liverpool.

Milan's bank, I guess (when the FIGC fines players and/or teams, the money goes to charity, but this is a thing that Milan is doing, nobody from the outside asked for it). It's 80k for each game he'll miss.
