Fulham's Stockdale Injured - Schwarzer deal definitely off?

Post by **HashKads** » Mon Aug 30, 2010 9:19 am

I totally agree with Quartz explanation on all those players. The 2 he highlighted as mistakes were exactly that and the rest were correct.

Almunia has glimpses of greatness and then absolute shitness. Look at when we played Barcelona (I think) last year, he kept us pretty much in it in the first leg. But like people say, 1 mistake against a big team and its a goal. We just can't afford that and thats what cost us last year. He may have quick distribution but it is AWFUL! I'd go as far as saying 7 out of 10 balls distributed by him are unsuccessful.

Everybody knew we needed a new keeper since last May including Wenger and thats why he put a bid in for Schwarzer in May. So if it comes down to us not winning anything this year because of our goalkeepers then the fault lies at Wengers door for not addressing the problem he knew about.

You really are amazing ! How do you know all this to be true ? You come across as far too intelligent to believe what you read in the red tops so what's your source ?

And regarding your embarrasment. Is this really and truly the way you feel about being a gooner ? Save yourself the disappointment and find something else to do. You must be so unhappy being a gooner, you poor thing

If Almunia plays like yesterday in every game of the season I'll be happy with that, but still annoyed we didn't get our new keeper. Now let's see how the season goes before we rant, cry, curse etc etc

VTH

To be fair on Augie, I did hear Mark Hughes come out and say we bid Â£2mil in May which was rejected then Â£2mil again a couple of weeks ago which was also rejected.

Maybe not, but they've still got to fill their pages. I tend to buy the Telegraph but only remember the 'reported' bids 'reportedly' being in the 'region' of 2m.

'reportedly' meaning 'probably' meaning 'possibly' meaning 'maybe' meaning 'probably f*!king not'

My understanding was that when we originally bid fulham told us to fuck off because they didnt have a manager at the time. Once they had appointed a new manager we tabled the bid again to remind them that it was still on the table. Why place a higher bid when the original was never rejected?

The fact that you acknolwedge any of these decisions were financially driven is sufficient cause for alarm - we are Arsenal Football Club - not Arsenal Investment Club or Arsenal Budget Balancing Club.

Indeed the Board's strategy risks turning us into another Leeds more than anything else right now.Under-ivestment backfiring is just as dangerous as over-investment backfiring.
.

My explanations were not irrelevant, they were responses to your post which you filled with mistaken reasons as to why certain players left!

But I agree that we did not adequately replace enough of the players who left 2005 - 2008.

It is not dangerous that decisions were made on a a financial basis, because in building a new stadium the club were going to be short of cash, regardless of what any director ever said.

A new Leeds?
No. Very different situation to them.
We will struggle to win the title, but have a reasonable chance of fourth.
Much more reasonable should if buy a decent new goalkeeper!

The thing is AW - having made a bid for another goalie - one who if signed would replace almunia - But now that it (looks like it's ) not going to happen, that leaves an already (incompetent and unconfident) almunia - knowing that if AW could he would replace him.....

Even so, AW has had all summer to find a replacement - and splash the cash - rather than do his usual tightwad type of bidding....so regardless - almunia "knows 1,000%" that he is not rated by AW as being good enough for the No 1 spot..... and so AW has shot himself and us in the foot.

The sooner Szchezny is ready to take the number 1 spot the better!

we are F*cked as regards winning the prem this season...and Almunia is still and always will be
