Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[glenferry23]

swansea appear keen on bendtner. wonder what we could get for him, probably in the £6m - £8m range I'd imagine? hopefully he keeps playing well at the euros to boost fee further

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah, that fee would be good, doubt he would go there though being the greatest footballer in the world.

 

[Latro]

I have seen a rumour of Dortmund being interested but Sunday papers always lie.

 

[Cruyff14]

Encouraging to see Podolski score.

Get voting in my awards thread fellas

 

[Latro]

Opening fixture is Sunderland at home according to Red Action.

 

[Cruyff14]

Is that the only one they know?

 

[Latro]

That is the only one I have seen. Fixtures are announced tonight.

 

[Benno_900]

Hopefully we get Everton in August and Stoke away very early.

 

[Cruyff14]

Looks like I won't be going to a game after all

No game on September 1 and we play Liverpool at Anfield on the 8th.

FML.

 

[Latro]

The opening fixtures are: Sunderland (H), Stoke (A), Liverpool (A), Southampton (H), Man City (A) and Chelsea (H).

good work cruffy

so pool away, city away and chelsea home in our first 6 games. goes without saying, we cannot afford a similar disastrous start like last season. should string some early wins together first up provided we have a fit squad etc, of which you never know with arsenal

 

[glenferry23]

also, im not sure how this qualifies as an 'article', but apparantly we've had a bid for squillaci

[Cruyff14]

Giroud looks to be confirmed. Excellent news.

It's looking to be a good summer so far. Hopefully we throw the kitchen sink at M'Vila and sign another AM/CM and it will be a very tidy summer indeed. Arsenal's Wenger spending so much is unheard of.

 

[AG]

I don't see the problem with moving RVP wide to fit Giroud in the starting lineup.

 

[ADL9798]

Making some great early moves in the transfer market. Podolski, Giroud and it looks like M'Vila too on top of the players such as Wilshere that you will have coming back from long term injury. Arsenal look like they could be a real threat for the title this year looking at these potential additions on top of their form in the 2nd half of last season. How do you see the team lining up with these new additions? And based on that which (if any) players do you think will be looking to move or would you like to see gone this off season?

 

[Cruyff14]

Chamakh and Park can piss off for all I care.

I'd go

Szczesny​

Sagna Koscielny Vermaelen Gibbs​

M'Villa​

Arteta Wilshere​

Chamberlain van Persie Podolski​

Looks good ex

cept hopefully we​

can get someone in to​

cover Gibbs and our 1st team is looking alright​

 

[Cruyff14]

There is Santos.

 

[charcoalchicken]

There is Santos.

Better than Santos

 

[Cruyff14]

Wouldn't count on it.

 

[glenferry23]

very much doubt we'll buy another LB

 

[charcoalchicken]

M'Villa V Song haven't seen M'Villa at all but Song is pretty decent

Also M'Villa, Arteta & Wilshere do you think it's too defensive??

 

[glenferry23]

No I don't think so at all. They all have the ability to create and press forward. I'm just happy to get a bigger group of quality midfielders, then decide on the most appropriate mix/line up as we can guarantee there will be periods of the season whereby some of them will be injured etc

Also, giroud is etching closer...

M'Villa V Song haven't seen M'Villa at all but Song is pretty decent

Also M'Villa, Arteta & Wilshere do you think it's too defensive??

M'Vila is like Makelele but has the ability to be a box to box player too from what I have been told. He should play ahead of Song.

Not too defensive at all, provides a very good balance.
