He's an upgrade on Giroud and I rate him higher than Higuain. Plus, he's got the French connection going so maybe Wenger can get the best out of him. I'd definitely take him.
Also, Madrid seem to be pretty reasonable when it comes to selling players. I could see him coming for 25-30m.
Benzema is a world class striker now and he's better than Higuain?
At least, Milan doesn't have to worry about strikers.
I think only Ibra, Falcao and RVP are better than him as pure 9s.
He made goals for Madrid by the shitload and that was a team purely focused on CR7, in Argentina he kills it and he is playing well with Napoli. Dude makes goals anywhere he plays he is in the top 5 when it comes to best 9s in the world. He is better than Cavani IMO.

why would it feel extra good? just gave my opinion, I think he is definitely top 5 when it comes 9s
I couldn't really care less who wins in that match.
Arnie, I'm late but I'm here.
Will try to keep myself away from GAF for a while, I have a shit ton of things to do at college in october, plus I need to set my head straight. Thanks to all of your advices, I might not follow them because I'm a fool, but it might pay off in the end.
But don't worry, I'll be back.
Oh, the ending to Breaking Bad was perfection. I couldn't have asked for a better episode. The last 15 minutes had me in state of grace.

It will feel extra good to beat them because Higuain plays for them, not because of your rating of him.
I personally think you are incorrect anyway. I rate Gomez, Lewa and Cavani as all better than Higuain.

Fry bro-eezus you should even spoiler tag your thoughts on the episode for now, even though there are no spoilers just saying "it was shit" or "it was amazing" will annoy people.

Ramsey is better than Higuain.
Giroud is a striker that complements our current system well. He can hold it up, has decent vision to bring others into play & assist and he can also finish well. His defensive workrate has also gone up a notch this year. His all round game is good enough that he makes us better this year whereas last year he struggled quite a bit because he was adapting.
I'm not convinced Higuain would have been the right buy for us as he is average/shit at everything other than finishing. Ironically Liverpool have 2 strikers in Suarez and Sturridge who would both suit our lone striker role well. Rooney, RVP and based on current form, Diego Costa would also suit.
The pure poacher/finisher type strikers out there would require us to change our current system somewhat and purchase direct wingers. That isn't going to happen now that we have Ozil.

If anyone can do it, it's the mighty Arsenal!
Yup. Was it amazing or shit though?
Hope so. We play Chelsea in the 4th game.

You mean you rather he be banned for the game against us...? I'd rather he plays to be honest.
It's Torres.
In that second half against Spurs he looked dangerous. Doubt Mou will play Eto'o in the league cup against us so that just leaves Ba.
I don't care much for the Capital One cup but I hate losing to Chelsea in any fixture so I want us to win. Even send out Ozil to ensure we win will be okay with me against Chelsea.

Well of course Arsenal and its fans don't care about trophies they actually have a chance of winning.

In the CL? Lol, we're playing at home against some terrible team from Austria.
As for the league, we're in first and we're basically guaranteed to win it thanks to Arshavin and the leave Arsenal------>win trophy phenomenon.

They've sunk so deep into their ocean of dreams, they're all now talking like they've won the league and how they can improve their team of world class players to win the CL.
All they did was get Ozil and win Spurs 1-0 at home.
Reading their posts is the first time I've indulged myself in insanity.
You are indulging yourself into reading something that isn't anywhere other than your head. I don't think we can win the league and the players being mentioned are the ones required so we can try to win it. No one mentioned anything about CL, go check your hubby Moyes for those comments You need more WC players to compete in Europe according to Moyes!

Ugh. Leave me and my hubby Moyes alone. I'm messing with you because I am so annoyed, how do you think it feels seeing your club top of the league? It's horrible.
I am so sad Lightning

9am lectures can fuck off. Tomorrow's my only day off them this week.
Messi can also fuck off, being injured for one of the two games I care about barca playing well in.

Not that I'd trust anything that shitrag writes, but it does raise the point that even if United have to do the whole "break glass in case of energency" thing and has Ferguson come back for the duration of this season, the job is made 100 times more difficult when all of the backroom staff are gone.
So am I. We win and we not only go a long way to qualifying but finishing top of the group which is very important. Napoli away is the last game of the group so we need all our points before that match.
I'm so hyped for it.

The implications of bringing Ferguson back is much worse than letting Moyes finish this year at the very least. If it's only bad results I am okay with him at least finishing half of his contract, if he starts doing a Roy Hodgson selling off good players and bringing in more people from outside then it will be time to take a hard look at him.
Until then, give the man more time I say.
