Those Wilshere DM rumours were actually from the Mirror not the Daily Mail.

No I made a point to Lightening that his satisfaction with Chambers should probably be tempered by the fact that you've not addressed 2 year old problems position wise.
Now I'm being told by someone else entirely that I'm the one not addressing the subject of the argument. You can probably understand my amusement at that.

CF and DM were the two most pressing issues in your squad, IMO, and you probably should have resolved them before the season starts. That should always be the aim anyway.
Like Arnie said, things aren't always so easy in a WC year especially - but yeah, guess we'll see what happens in the next few days.
In our case, I'm pretty annoyed we haven't sorted more things out yet. Sources can say what they like really. Liverpool and Chelsea have done well at getting things sorted pronto.
LMAO Relax you knob. United and Spurs are playing a full strength squad for atleast the 1st half.
Ospina a bore? Huh?

I should also add that United aren't doing much better. We've got an LB and CM but we need tonnes more. I'm bloody nervous about our current inactivity.

I don't really get why so many Liverpool fans seem to be 'against' Lovren. He was decent last year and he is still reasonably young. Defences are all about units working together aswell. Like I get the worries about the price and stuff but alot of people flat out don't want him - which seems a bit strange to me.
Keepers are kind of always a bore unless it's someone who is world class.
Glad we singed Ospina, but not excited by it.
Did you bother to look at the post I was replying to?
You have proceeded to go into a tangent stating "I get it, I get what all of you are saying. You're content with how you club is run." In other words, basically arguing with yourself over absolutely nothing.
So you can probably understand my amusement at how you have flown off the rails again, for about the fourth time in 2 days.

A bore as in...meh. You signed a back up keeper. It doesn't exactly get the muppet juices flowing.
Maybe it does for you - I don't see it changing much in terms of Arsenal's fortunes though. You needed a back up keeper, you got one. Skeen.

:lol
We have a solid team now, don't we?
Can you imagine if we keep our form from last season?
I am excited. If we pulled off someone live Vidal or Shaqiri I'd be in heaven.

I think it's because he isn't a standout player.
He feels like another body of comparable ability to what we already have.
It's strange, I thought for the large part Skrtel and Sakho were excellent last season. Don't think Lovren was any better than them. So we're spending a lot of money to add a squad player. Same reason why I'm not overly bothered about the Lallana signing.
Players like Markovic and Remy and Can are needed and for various reasons represent great business.
The two big Southampton buys don't have that.

Any club shown any interest in Shaqiri or El Shaarawy?
Arnie, pls. You should be more worried about Squirtle and his own goals.
Arnie, pls. You should be more worried about Squirtle and his own goals.
1. I don't love Shaqiri
2. I don't flip between teams and I never did
3. I'm tired of this bullshit, so you can go fuck yourself

Naked man bum..Bla's posts were better
I want him to become one of those premier league defenders that the opposition hate playing against, but I just don't see it.
How can he not be?
Ideally I want him to be a bit of a Vidic.
If you asked me what CB I would have liked to sign I would have said Lovren first and foremost. He's a strong 1 on 1 defender with good positioning and quality technique. Handful of goals in him too.
I truly don't understand the negativity either. Money? Well what do you expect to pay for such a player after Southampton just bought him for £9m last year?
Yeah Arnie Skrtel and Sakho were decent. But they invite way too much pressure, Skrtel in particular, and wait until the final moment to make a last ditch effort. And then what happens if it goes wrong? How many stupid OGs we have as a club.

When Woodward starts talking about what we can do, it's time to worry. I really don't see us making any big waves in the market now.
Yeah I get that.
CB is a hard position to buy for though. Who would be standout that Liverpool could sign? Can't really think of anybody. Same as us, we're not going to get a 'world class' centre half...but we do need one. Who do we get. Nobody comes to mind who I'd think - ah yeah, definitely him.

Yes, you replied to my post repeating the numbering and points I had made no less. You believe what you're told by the same people who have misinformed you last year but I'm supposed to believe their inferences at face value on your behalf.
*Flies off metaphorical rails*
£137,000 p/w.
Not worth it.
Schneiderlin would be the better financial investment and the better player.
First of all, I think you need to calm down and take a few deep breathes.
You've obviously tied yourself into a few figurative knots and are struggling to undo them in what was in all likelihood intended as a troll for a bit of a laugh
Secondly, I would ask you about instances where Ornstein and the likes have misinformed me but you won't have an answer to that. And instead choose to believe whatever bullshit sources support whatever you're spewing at the time.
Vivalaraza

About £140k.
Ornstein usually only posts when something is done or very close to done. Has yet to give us a reason not to trust him.

He was a two-teamer, just stopped supporting Bayern last year. He's always been a Liverpool fan.
I thought Barca were after Benatia? Or did I imagine that?
Vivalaraza
Member
It is if you're willing to pay the price, as we've seen a few times this window already.
It would be worth it for Arsenal IMO. He's a great player and it would solve the position. Sometimes you just have to over pay for players. People find it hard to stomach that but so long as you're not doing it regularly, which Arsenal aren't, it makes sense.
But yeah, I don't see Arsenal paying over £25m for him.
I am all for paying £27. I just don't think we will.
Rather we pay up and get the player we want than accept something less.
LabouredSubterfuge
Member
I do get that, but from a cynical point of view its all the more convenient if nothing comes of anything. Does he just not update if potential deals don't come though?
Sviatoslav

Except like 90% of his posts were about Bayern.
Vivalaraza

Pls guys - Arsenal aren't worth this much focus at this time of the day. They're ending up 4th just like any other season.
LabouredSubterfuge

Random aside but Benatia did look good today.
No. He said we pulled out of the Khedira deal.
Not even willing to pay £27. Cheapskate.

So United are 3rd then?

I can't hate on that. The closest team to where I lived was Velez, so I like them as well (unless they are playing River).
My wife is a Bostera. We got married in our rival jerseys.

Marko will be good for Liverpool, it's only thing i can say. i mentioned Garay being one of the top CB in the world and Matic a top 3 DM in Europe for ages and i don't think i was wrong or misguided folks in any of those claims. same thing with Marko.

I was saying to my bro (an Arsenal fan) that Schneiderlin should be Arsenal's holy grail instead of Khedira. He barely knew who Schneiderlin is :lol
Honestly I'd be very happy to have him at United.
