And why aren't we in the running for Yaya?? I would love it if Hargo came back and was fit and could run around like a crazy person for us, but that is doubtful. So lets get some steel in the center of the park...

I see aw.I don't get into Internationals too much either.But i would watch them at times like this.

One thing about Ronaldo. Unless he signs a contract extention, then next summer he can buy out his contract for 12 million pounds. He won't even have to hand in a transfer request. That's what his whole thing has been about. That's why i feel that this summer we will be tempted to sell him.

Toure?I saw him for a year when he was playing in the Greek championship.Personally,i don't think he has the pace or the bite to play in the Premiership.Maybe he has made progress in the last 3 years but those were my initial impressions of him.

its all about player power,players hidin behind agents,even the press pretty much decide who is for sale these days,all types of shady business in the football industry,the milans an madrid,clubs even engineer player sales an use their press people to make the player look like a culprit,when it happens then worry about it i say

wenger had song,denilson,toure an another guy named marco ne on trial,he paid 2 mill for song,4 mill for denilson an could have had the other 2 for free, marco ne was a 10 mill target for chelsea for a while but got a bad injury, and toure well i dunno what alex song did to him durin that trial,arsene must have made them have a dance-off

I will let my Greek experience talk again.Marco Ne also played in Greece.Not good enough i say.In hindsight,Wenger chose the best 2 out of the 4.Toure turned out ok,but i am still not too fond of him.

There is definitely a lot more happening behind the scenes and no doubt some people will attempt to save face in all of this.As i said above,only one thing concerns me:the timing.If Ronaldo is going to leave,it must be done early so that we replace him as soon as possible.

I would still take De Rossi over Yaya

Drew Vader:me too.Gattuso as well.And another player that hasn't been mentioned a lot:Mahamadou Diarra of Real.

well i think it will be withing the next two weeks, costas, if ronaldo says he wants to leave i think fergie will give madrid a price,fergie has to stay in control,he cant be askin players to stay every year despite them signing contract extensions an pay rises which obviously fergie fought for them to be offered

de rossi is quality,its just that he is kinda the new totti (not in a playin sense) amongst the fans hero worship,hard to see him leaving roma

Log in to Reply

arsene wenger June 10, 2009

right about now il accept mathieu flamoney,denilson needs a couple years before he can play in such a young team,he needs either older heads to guide him on the pitch or he needs a good strong vocal captain

Costas June 10, 2009

That's why i feel that De Rossi will never leave Roma. Because his love for the club is too strong. I think that experience comes with games,so this season must have helped Denilson get a grip.Next year he could be better with or without someone experienced next to him. Fergie did keep Ronaldo last year but as he found out in the City game, he had to make many compromises, which is something he hates doing. Who knows if he is still as adamant about keeping Ronaldo as he was 12 months ago.

i tell u what,theres a player in france eden hazard,that kid is special, like young ronaldo,he has the speed the tricks and the bottle, if man united sell ronaldo they should put a deposit on this kid, he even looks like ron at times, i watched him play a few times, i dunno what wenger is doing telling europe to leave him where he is to develope

Log in to Reply

Drew Vader June 11, 2009

Yeah De Rossi is a pipe dream. Don't know who else would be out there that could do a job. I would love it to be English/Brit but I have no idea who that is.

And Diarra from Real? F that guy. He had his chance when we were interested in him during his time at Lyon and he wanted to go to Real instead. And I don't think he's that great to be honest. I would much rather get Las Diarra from the Virus.

funny thing is i like denilson and song but i still feel that denilson played more games than anyone else in our squad last season and its too much to go from bit part to 36 league games in the space of 8 months ,it took barry a long time to get reconition in that same zone so i think denilson will grow better but wenger has to deliver or go very close this season or it could be his head so id say he cant be waiting two years for denilson or song to really come good,cescs game relies on a ball winning player givin him service

theres something unconvincing about dolphin head diarra though, when we had him i just was not impressed although he didnt get a good run out

Log in to Reply

Costas June 11, 2009

Lassana Diarra would feel like sloppy seconds for me.I think that it was a blow for Arsenal to lose him but i think United can do better.Mahamadou Diarra has lost his way,but he was a good player on form.Ever noticed how every player that goes to the virus becomes a worse player before they are done with him?

Arsena Wenger, never heard of the kid.He probably does need to develop first.Some players take longer to mature than others.

I hope fergie's watching how well rooney plays behind the point man in these england games.

this kid hazard has only really played his first first-team football this season costas, he is special, he has the tricks at high speed,he runs very upright like ronaldo but just like early ronaldo he can be one step over too many, fergie could turn this guy into ron, look him up,he will probably even be playin for belguim at the under 21's, he has all kind of nicknames, baby messi, baby ronaldo, etc

seem like this "young ronaldo" title is pretty much deserved, the style of play looks so similar.

Log in to Reply

arsene wenger June 11, 2009

ohhh ahhh,you can tell this youngster loves ronaldo,he loves the step over,see but it takes bottle for a kid to step straight into first team football an play this way,i think this guy will make it, the 2010/2011 season he will either be at man utd arsenal barca or madrid,it wouldnt suprise me if he has already signed for one of us

Ohhh_Ahhh June 11, 2009

Great, also looks like he shares the same "dreams" as Ronaldo :"Real Madrid and Arsenal are the clubs I dreamed of joining as a child." uncanny

Log in to Reply

Costas June 11, 2009

Thanks aw. He does look very impressive. I think that at some point a big club will snap him up. But you know how it is with young players. They can lose their way very easily. I remember the 98 world cup where a Brazilian by the name of Denilson shocked everyone with his talent. He went to Betis for a record transfer,but 10 years later he has done nothing.

arsene wenger June 11, 2009

lol no doubt he will get pestered by all the clubs,but wenger was saying clubs should leave him while he is happy for at least another year, in january i wanted to sign hazard not really arshavin,i love arshavin though

yeah i actually had a friend who changed his middle name to denilson because of that guy,he was a liverpool fan with the middle name denilson lol

about 18, theres another kid named henry saviet who is better as well but i couldnt find a vid

With his French connections, Wenger could make the move at anytime. If Real get him(even though he is under their age limit of 25),then that's the end of him. I am still wondering why Wenger chose Nasri instead of Ben Arfa last summer.

Log in to Reply

arsene wenger June 11, 2009

the funny thing is costas its not just wenger, man united are followin into belguim and france the exact same way arsenal are, the only thing i worry about these youngsters because with liverpools new lower budget rafa might do one or two of them like he did babel,trust me,the amount of quality youth about to be unleashed it wouldnt suprise me if fergie was brushing up on a few french phrases right now

Log in to Reply

arsene wenger June 11, 2009

word on the streets is that nasri could play holding midfield next season and his first season he was played wide to get him up on the tempo costas

Log in to Reply

Costas June 11, 2009

Oh i see. Nasri didn't have the best of games as a central midfielder at Old Trafford in the Ch.league but that must have been a learning experience for him.With him moving there,maybe Ramsey will go up the pecking order for one of the wing positions.

I don't know if Liverpool can buy young hot talents.They are on a tight budget and they will want to use that to buy established players. The pressure is truly on for Mr Facts.

I will head off. Goodnight aw and everyone else.

Tevez missed a pen, they could even struggle to qualify under the cheat. Valencia was supposed to be excellent second half.

Holidaying in Mallorca and the press in Spain believe Rel have Ronaldo in the bag.....Well we should now start looking for replacements..Lemme put forth a suggestion...Anyone seen enough of Pato?Absolute bloody genius..massive reason why Milan let Kaka go....This guy is going to be bigger than Ronaldo(past and present)....Fergie! Fergie!! sign him up!!!!

I insist there is no need to buy the 3rd fefencive midfielder.
We have Fletch, Hargo, Carrick (we bought him as a DM) and Anderson (pretty much playslike this). Maybe attacking one ?
But if costas wants to play 4-2-1-2 maybe..but would have liked 4-4-2 instead. maybe it doesn't work in CL (i'm pretty much doubt the absoluteness of the issue) but it could bring us the 06-07 style of football.

corea June 11, 2009

In that case Rooney-Campbell, Rooney-Wellbeck, Rooney-Macheda and even Rooney-Berba would have worked.
Maye i am too possitive about the possibilities but it will much depend on Tevez, Ronaldo situation.

"I want people to remember me as a very good and skilful player. I don't want to be remembered as a top scorer," Berbatov told Bulgarian Diema TV.

The Bulgaria striker has defended his 14 goal record and believes he contributes more to the team than just goals. "I've played with strikers with 100 goals, who can't control the ball," he said. "It seems like a three-metre pass when they're trying to control the ball with their feet."

Oh and did you hear the other one guys? Fergie tried to change Tevez's mind by a phonecall. And here's what a representative of Tevez's said:

"You treat someone badly for a whole year, you don't make it up with a telephone call, right?" said the mystery man, whose identity we could probably have a reason good guess at.

"It should take two to three weeks for Carlos's future to be finally decided" continued The Guardian's Deep Throat (not that one), and when asked about City, he said: "It's an option. But no one option is more serious than another - City, Chelsea, Liverpool: they're all options."

Fuck off Tevez.
