The post that started this said 7th this season. He's even accepted a bet on it. My point is we won't finish 7th or lower. What might happen in 2 or 3 seasons time is anyone's guess ffs.Gunner Rob wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 10:54 amup until now, yes you are correct.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 5:57 amAnd how many of them finished above us?

At present even at our worst we are better than most of the shit in the PL. Of course that might change if we keep slipping out further and further because of underinvestment in the squad. But at the moment that top 6 picks itself because of the gap in quality between them and the rest of the league.
the future is shaping up to be a bit different. probably not this season, maybe not even next, but the fact is that we are on a slow downward spiral if we no longer have any money to spend.

And there lies the wub, even without any signings this window we are unlikely to finish below our lofty 5th or 6th position.

Re: Kos refuses to travel to US for pre season tour
Maybe/maybe not(£) but does it matter anyway? - really what is the difference between 6th and 12th?, other than a few more quid that wiggy will pocket and participation in the Thursday night cup against Eastern Europe's fine.., err 3rd or 4th finest!, teams.

Re: Kos refuses to travel to US for pre season tour
Every time I think about this I cannot but help also thinking what would have happened to a player that tried this shit on during George's tenure. I think we all know the answer.
I'm not blaming Dick here either. This is the culture we have let fester in the game.
The modern game is being ruined partly by player power and their fucking parasitic scum agents. Fuck equal employment rights - these dopey wankers are being paid an absolute fortune to kick a ball about ffs.
They should do as they are fucking told and shut the fuck up or try go and get a proper job. Privileged entitled pricks 99% of them.

Re: Kos refuses to travel to US for pre season tour
First thing is Kos would never have been captain under GG. He wouldn't have dared to refuse to travel had he played in that era. He woukd have been no more than a Colin Pates type of back up player had he stayed more than a season or two at the club. His injuries would have been seen as a liability instead of his return viewed as " like a new signing "..Kos wasn't the worst player or defender during the latter half of Wenger's era. But what does that tell you?DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 5:47 amEvery time I think about this I cannot but help also thinking what would have happened to a player that tried this shit on during George's tenure.

Re: Kos refuses to travel to US for pre season tour
Agreed on Kos as a player but I'm thinking more of what would have happened to an established first teamer or a captain like Bould or Adams if they tried that shit in that era.Bradywasking wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 6:06 amFirst thing is Kos would never have been captain under GG.

The club and GG showed great loyalty sticking by TA6 during and after the drink drive jail time but if he had thrown his toys out of the pram and refused to play he'd have been either gone to a club of GG's choosing or fucked into the ressies to rot out the remainder of his contract.

Re: Kos refuses to travel to US for pre season tour
Bloody froggies. Always getting big ideas about themselves.
Cuncha bunts.
Loved it when he went all in against the bin dippers (debut?) and got a golf ball size bruise for his effort.
Been ok in a mediocre defence since then.
But fvck me, he ain't a leader, and has been, well, French ever since.
Fvck him off. Don't let him leave. Put him in the reserves for a year.

Re: Kos refuses to travel to US for pre season tour
Thought the club would've sorted this out by the time the squad got back. Emery was quite clear in saying the argument is between the player and the club, not him. It suggests Emery has little say in the player's contracts and signings.

The Sanllehis of the world have got to do something to earn their money now and again. The fact that there has been nothing announced just goes to show the shit state we are in.

Re: Kos refuses to travel to US for pre season tour
See how well our new super duper corporate structure is working. If we bring in enough bodies we won't have any cash for signings and will simply abstain from the distasteful habit of buying players.
