Hahahaha

It's an interesting question: how do we measure greatness within football management? We as fans probably have an entirely different metric to what those in the sport have.

easy: we look at barcelona and football as a whole before guardiola.

then we compare it with guardiola's barcelona.

finally, we reach the conclusion that guardiola's built the greatest football team in the history of the sport.

 

[GorillaJu]

I hope we are actually looking at Bernard. That would definitely get me excited after the Mkhitaryan disappointment.

I like going for the unnoticed types. It saves an Isco ordeal.

TLDR:

Arsenal preparing another bid for Suarez. Unlikely to now get Higuain, Fellaini or Julio Cesar.

Also suggests Madrid unlikely to move for Suarez in this window.

Arsenal making Suarez their primary focus? That's insanely risky.

His biggest decisions were to play Messi up front and sell Eto'o

Yes but then when you sign the Rodwells, Maicons of the world, isn't it a RUSH?!

Jesus Christ Arsene

 

[Vivalaraza]

Evening Standard.

It's probably made up.

 

[Feorax]

Arsene wat r u doing

I think his logic is.

1. Madrid want to keep Higuain, and not sell him to us.

2. Madrid therefore not overly keen on Suarez at this moment.

3. We need a striker.

4. Buy Suarez.

Whilst forgetting at the time that we really aren't going to want to strengthen you guys when, at this moment in time at least, you are the most likely team to drop out of the top 4 spots that we want so badly.

That aside, I wonder if the Thiago money will be used for Reina?

What the bloody hell, Wenger?

No.

 

[Steverulez]

What the bloody hell, Wenger?

He does this every window. Its the Arsenal way. Linked high, buy low.

 

[Steverulez]

Shit goalkeeper, shit defenders most of who aren't even defenders (Pique who has never reached his potential), greatest midfield of all time, don't play strikers.

No.

When Barce get exposed, they look woeful.

My bad, double post.

 

[Batigol]

22 degrees in my town right now. Gonna be 27 later apparently. Fuck me.

And yet there's still people walking around in hoodies and heavy jackets. Fucking Ireland :lol

Higuain staying at Madrid is mind boggling considering the stories that have came out about his time there. I would love Suarez, but at all costs? I'm not so sure.

That article also says that Arsenal is Fellaini's dream move, and Arsene wants him to. But of course we need to sign two strikers before making any move. I mean... I'm speechless.

This is painful , and it's the Arsenal I'm used to.

 

[FootballFan]

Messi in middle, tikitaka, bring in biscuit and Pedro, buy alves and pique, get rid of party goers dinho, edmilson and deco. Those were the biggies IMO.

His worst decisions were 3-4-3 and eto'o+$$ for ibra.

who cares about having shit players when you're able to pass around the ball on your opponent's half 90% of the time? and just because they're shit defenders (pique used to be a pretty decent defender) doesn't mean they aren't great footballers. with tiki taka, football starts from the back, you cannot keep the ball circulation that high when your defenders are vidic and ferdinand.

and not playing with a central forward is genius.

(valdes is definitely a shit keeper, but he has been instrumental in their way of playing football)

[Mastadon]

We should swap Suarez for Higuain and £30m just to piss Wenger off.

 

[Fergie]

We're going the way of Liverpool. It's over.




Thiago will sure enjoy that bench.

Spoiler

lol.
Fuck Bayern and fuck Thiago.
Come to us Fellaini and Verratti, you know you want to.

 

[Salazar]

World has gone fucking mental.

Conference presentation tomorrow. I am guaranteed to be internally buzzing about football shit.

 

[Freewheelin']

Wow the new Roma shirt is very nice.

And Arsene pls. Don't just go after Suarez as your major target, you'll need backups!

 

[phaze]

This is great.

I really can't believe we entertain spending so much money on him. What wages is he on ? Surely he will be looking for a healthy increase which is something we won't be able to afford.

 

[ElyrionX]

Following transfer rumours is the fucking WORST

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

This Bruma stuff is crazy if it's all to be believed. He's essentially declared himself a free agent.

 

[Batigol]

Also when was the last time a PL team bought a truly great player? In the mold of Falcao, Cavani, Ibra..

You rarely see it any more. Players are even passing up PL teams to play in Ligue 1.

 

[Salvadora]

Gervinho could possibly be off to Roma this summer, guys.

The EPL talent drain continues.

 

[K1LLER7]

United-Bros we're not signing any midfielders.

 

[GorillaJu]

Yep. Time to take advantage. He's quality.

 

[Kyoufu]

You need the right sources. Daily Mail will just lead to heartbreak.

 

[Feorax]

It feels like this is the backup after Higuain stalled.

I really can't believe we entertain spending so much money on him. What wages is he on ? Surely he will be looking for a healthy increase which is something we won't be able to afford.

I think he's currently one either £80k or £110k per week, depending on if his performance bonuses carry over from last season.

What you can offer him that we can't is CL football, but he left Ajax for us when they were in the CL and we were languishing in the bottom half of the table, so I doubt that will be enough. At a bare minimum, you'd have to convince him that you'd at least match his wages and that he'd be winning something sognificant in the next year or two.

 

[Tc91]

United-Bros we're not signing any midfielders.

I know and it's wank.

If Carrick gets injured for a lengthy period of time this season, we are so fucked. It's not even gonna be funny.

Ronaldo pls.

 

[Scum]

What the fuck? Aren't the first games of the season kicking off at 3pm on Saturday?

 

[phaze]

Gervinho could possibly be off to Roma this summer, guys.

:lol



Suarez is reportedly on 120k a week. He would want even more for signing a new contract. Not happening because Wenger is a fucking hypocrite.

 

[Fady K]

What Bayern is to MUFC fans here, PSG is to me. I wanted Cavani sooo badly :[

I hope Ramadan is going well for all those fasting here

NOOOOOO FADYYYYYY!!! Why did I move him anywhere near that car that was on fire, he didn't deserve that.

Viva is an insane sniper.

I hope I was able to serve you well before my death bro!

Haha he actually bites at it too?? That's pretty cool.

United-Bros we're not signing any midfielders.

Much time is left bro, you may sign more players than you think

 

[Fergie]

Lol what's Moyes doing. Come on son.

 

[Yurt]

Gazzetta: Galliani anticipates the arrival of Matri & has the 9 jersey waiting for him.

 

[pappe]

United-Bros we're not signing any midfielders.

KaGodwa and ClevGod will save us!

 

[Steverulez]

Has Strootman to Roma been confirmed yet? I want De Rossi before the boys go on tour later today

 

[Salazar]

Guardiola is a bitch.

Finished with the man.

 

[bjaelke]

Players are even passing up PL teams to play in Ligue 1.

Blanc and Ranieri know how to persuade the players.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Hitcher what one do you want?

Give it to someone who actually wants it, I don't even know what the prize was tbh

Something about House of Cards?
