Has the Metro link with Maximilian Arnold to Arsenal been mentioned? Not the greatest source, but together with the Douglas Costa and Robertp Firmino rumours it seems like an attacking midfielder might still be a target.

Or it's just lazy paper talk.

Why aren't we getting a striker.

 

[Milchmonster]

I bet Bla couldn't deal with the fact he likes Kevin and he commited account suicide.

 

[El Topo]

What pic? Didn't even know he got banned.

It wasn't removed and it was just a harmless (though imo annoying) joke pic from 9gag, so I'm probably wrong.

I'd take Firmino out of all of those. Seems to be the biggest talent of the bunch.

Southampton are soon going to run out of players to sell.

 

[Milchmonster]

This Selke guy at the U19 Euro looks decent.

Sign him up, Arsene

 

[Feorax]

Just seen Lovren will wear no.6.

Good choice, suits a defender better than an attacking mid.

Are you watching the match? Is it on TV?

 

[Walshy]

If we replace Agger with Vermaelen I'll be livid, unless Agger is desperate to leave. Maybe we could pay extra and keep Origi with us next season to try and soften the Remy blow. Don't think Origi is ready yet though

Origi is already gone on loan to Lille. He went back there today for first day of pre-season.

Tony Evans mentioned that Agger will only be allowed to leave if two centre-backs come in, however if Barcelona are going to offer €15m for Agger I'd find it very hard to turn that down.

Plenty more where they came from. Everyone we've sold will be replaced (probably by a youth player)

"but that's no way to run a football club"

say the fans of teams who just bought our last crop for £100m+

 

[Pennywise]

Eurosport should have it on.

Arsenal fans aren't seeing that much these days unless it's the rollercoaster of names with Schneiderlein,Khedira,Bender....

 

[El Topo]

Eurosport should have it on.

Thanks.

Firmino is a cunt, today he said this about staying at Hoffenheim: "the right time to leave hasn't come yet".

But on the other side, he posts his gf's cunt on instagram. So I'm not sure that I don't like him.

 

[Steverulez]

Just seen Lovren will wear no.6.

Fabregas with number 4 kind of upsets me. Defenders number

Just seen a picture of Didier in our training top. God I hate it so much (the top not Drogba)

Sorry to bring that up again (it is a bit timely with the march coming up), but an excellent piece by David Conn in the Guardian about the premier league ticket prices "defying the culture that built the game"

Some choice parts

Such prices charged to supporters for watching their English clubs are a culture change from the century of the game’s development that passed before the First Division clubs broke away from the Football League, forming the Premier League and keep all ofing the money from the new pay-TV deal in 1992.

That is cheap compared to £65.50 at Arsenal (for the highest category games), £55 at West Ham United with several clubs charging more, but United’s £31 price nevertheless represents a 785% increase since 1990.

Kevin Miles, the FSF’s chief executive, describes high pricing as one issue which unites modern supporters, most of whom grew up and became loyal to their clubs in the pre-Premier League era. “There is an assumption that football has become a middle-class pastime, but I don’t necessarily see that,” said Miles. “I see traditional supporters stretching themselves, paying prices they think are unreasonable, to do the thing they love. It is such a captive market, clubs can squeeze people in a way other businesses can’t.”

and the best part

The FSF argues that many people of that age are still students, on apprenticeships or in low-paid jobs and that football, which was celebrated as a constant in young adults’ lives, is now largely pricing them out.

 

[Milchmonster]

Are you watching the match? Is it on TV?

Yes, I currently need to study for an exam which pretty much means I watch as much football as I can to justify being lazy.

 

[3Sixty]

£55 to watch West Ham.

Fucking hell.

The price of BDSM has really increased.

 

[hiroshawn]

This window is a failure if we don't replace Giroud with a proper CF

Wenger knows what he's doing. If he says we don't need another striker then we don't.

 

[El Topo]

Welcome to the club!

Best of luck with your exam though.

 

[Plasma]

Arsenal better close the Khedira deal, else they might be left with 4th choice dm, whoever that is.

Not that worried, I think there are plenty of good DMs out there Carvahlo, Bender (Lars or Sven), Gustavo. Easier position to reinforce than a CF at the moment anyway.

 

[manual4]

lol

 

[Barzul]

Just seen a picture of Didier in our training top. God I hate it so much (the top not Drogba)

He took it when he replaced Viera's role as our most influential midfielder. He's worn it ever since.

 

[Mr Cola]

Checking out the Roma highlights, Mata is developing a bald patch

 

[Tubie]

Has Barca signed a CB or RB yet?

It would be comical if all Zubi managed to buy was Mathieu for 20m.

 

[Scum]

Kind of happy J-Rod isn't moving to us tbh



@Liverbros, is it as quiet as it seems on the rumour front?

No marquee signing in the works
Moreno deal dead
Bertrand deal dead (thank fuck, let's keep it that way)
Manquillo loan gone quiet
No Remy replacement rumoured


Also, give me player ratings for the Olympiakos match

You'll be playing League One football next season at this rate. 😒

Hitch? pls.

 

[Hixx]

Giaccherini behind Pantymon

It is strange to see how they have been eaten up by United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and soon to be Spurs.

But then if the top teams are going to buy players from within the league, the top 6 aren't going to sell to each other. Southampton just outside the top group, so it makes sense that these clubs will target those players.

 

[3Sixty]

The Class of ’92: David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Gary and Phil Neville. Those names are synonymous with trophies, cups, medals and glory.

‘We are aspiring to be like that,’ says Southampton’s 19-year-old right back Calum Chambers. ‘Hopefully, we will come through. That is our ambition.’

Chambers is one of the latest teenagers from the melting pot of youth on the south coast to break into the Saints’ first team.

By aspiring to be like that i assume he meant be nothing like that.

 

[fuenf]

interesting, didnt know that.

Or it's just lazy paper talk.

Alternatively, the link to wingers/attacking mids could be because Wenger sees Sanchez as a centre-forward.

 

[Milchmonster]

Not that worried, I think there are plenty of good DMs out there Carvahlo, Bender (Lars or Sven), Gustavo. Easier position to reinforce than a CF at the moment anyway.

Carvalho aside, you only listed players that are not for sale.

 

[Locke Lamora]

Germany tearing up Austria now (U-19). Nice.

 

[EmiPrime]

As long as you stay away from the category A games ticket prices at Arsenal haven't changed that much since 10 years ago. B and C category I think I pay £25 and £35 or so which is sort of reasonable.

 

[Hixx]

Fletcher pls.

 

[Danchi]

Yeah, Gustavo and the BVB Bender ain't moving. If the other was available, I feel like Arsenal would have bought him by now. One bid last January was it, and another reported at the start of the summer? Carvalho is always there, though,

Spoiler

if you're willing to pay €35m.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Genuinely thought this was about Blablurn when fuenf quoted it

 

[Barzul]

In your face, Liverpool!

At least they evened things out a bit.

 

[wedward]

Schneiderlin noooooooooooooo.

Can't even think of someone anywhere near his quality that would be available. Maybe Arsene is seriously considering Chambers as DM

No he isn't. Don't start with this.

We will get a DM. Patience.

 

[Elchele]

Firmino is a cunt, today he said this about staying at Hoffenheim: "the right time to leave hasn't come yet".

I can't even imagine the salary SAP is giving him to make him stay so happily.

Dear God. D:

Nope. Zubi is just a fool. Just sack him already, FF.

Bla is dead

Your feelings are understandable

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Fucking anti-Liverpool media

#RAWK

 

[Milchmonster]

I can't even imagine the salary SAP is giving him to make him stay so happily.

Come on, it's obvious as fuck that he hasn't gotten a decent offer from a good club yet or he would be gone already.

 

[wedward]

Gut feeling at this point is we are getting big Sami Khedira. People were saying he lowered his wage demands.

Wenger choosing Khedira over Schneiderlin is a surprise to me, but what do I know. He has watched both of them far more than I have and knows what will work with this squad better than me.

To be fair we really scraped through that day, skin of our teeth type match.

probably helped our title challenge in the end

@cartoon_soldier, The Great Slip of 2014 wasn't on BT

 

[Elchele]

Come on, it's obvious as fuck that he hasn't gotten a decent offer from a good club yet or he would be gone already.

I really doubt that, he has been doing great for a while now. He extended like 4 months ago, obviously they offered him a huge salary increase.

When his contract runs out at Madrid he will realize nobody in the world is willing to pay the wages he's asking for, so he has to lower his demands.
