From selling club to trash heap…gotta feel sorry for the farcial ENGLISH club that is Arsenal…not good enough for Man Utd, but good enough for Arsenal, lol and they’re supposed to be a fellow big 4 club.

@ Mic, i know the Har(d)greaves thing was meant to be a joke, but i don’t get it…*puzzled*

@Good to be a Gooner: wtf are you talking about, Evans never played during the weekend, so how’d he get skinned by Butt???? More Ar*s in brain comments from Arsenal fans, honestly after Liverpool you guys are the most bitter rival fans, I’m not even sure how anyone from United can have an iota of respect for you guys.

With Evans, Brown, Vidic, Ferdinand, Rafael, Fabio, Har(d)greaves, Neville, Evra and maybe that Lens player soon, we’ve got enough people to cover many positions. Silvest was surplus for United and though not the greatest defender he’ll give Arsenal some better back up that Sanderos and those other “defenders”. Someone said Wenger can turn mediocre players into quality players, Cygan, Jeffers, Reyes, Sanderos etc… I think not!

Decent signing for us gooners…with our slightly dodgy defence and frequent injuries, experienced cover on the cheap is fairly sensible. Mind you, there are very few quaility centre halves available on the market. Kompany would be a good buy for city, if only because him and richards would both provided breathtaking play with naive cock-ups to keep things interesting. Maybe we can do swap deal ….gary glitter for thaskin…..?

How do you lot feel about pique as cover? is he good enough in your eyes?

I always let sentiment go before sense when it comes to players, so I have never really had a problem with him. He has like Fergie said been a great servent to the club, remaining a loyal squad player for years.

I also for some sick reason kind of like the dealing being done between us and Arsenal, after all I have more respect for them than any of our TROPHY rivals. I love the way Arsenal fans are salvating over him after being the first to slag him off too.

“Arsene Wenger can turn a mediocre player like Silvestre into a tremendous player”

Silvestre is hardly potential! He’s a seasoned pro, he’s played for United for almost 10 years, it’s not like he is going to learn anything new. Just get more games which is good where ever you are.

I think it’s a good deal getting rid before he’d be offered a testimonial. 750k though, that’s cheap as Arsene Wengers other chips!

What does “ladyboy cunt” mean then? Please explain what this is and why it warrants disliking someone, I’m genuinely curious.

Blissful irony in your last sentence, but then I doubt you’d grasp that either.

Jeoff – because I don’t rate players on how attractive they are does not make me homophobic, sorry.

Check out BBC 606. There’s plenty of your sort there. If you want to talk about football and have a proper debate, then I’m all for it, but this petty and childish talk isn’t my scene. Honestly, there are loads of WUMs on 606, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it there, but I’ve reached my limits on how bored I’ll allow one person to make me.

Byyyyyye.

It was a bit of banter, not an insult. Unsurfaced a nice bit of homophobia though eh? You walked into that one.

Ronaldo’s a great player, probably the best in the world. Nothing to hate there. The whole “attractive” thing sailed right over your little head didn’t it Scotty? Calm down son.

I’m a Gooner and I always thought Silvestre was a weak link for you guys.
Can’t really say I’m happy with this signing, I’ve never seen a player move between Arsenal and Man Utd before. Brian Kidd was well before my time.
Who knows how it will turn out, I see where Wenger is coming from. Sign some experience, someone who has won a few titles and he was pretty cheap. Who knows whether he will be first choice or just cover for others.
It’s a shame that fans from either club can’t even have a civil conversation over this.

Jeoff – honestly, you’re not really this pathetic is real life are you? Christ, work? The “you’re gay” insults surely got too old whilst in primary school, no?

I think Ljungberg is a ladyboy cunt who played for Arsenal when they actually used to stop us from winning things. Surprisingly, I don’t like him. Maybe it’s your style, but I don’t base my opinions on players based on how “attractive” they are. But let me guess, you hate Ronaldo?

Byyyyyye
