you've said that TH14 is your idol, well keep your head down, work hard and if you're half the player he was then the Highbury crowd will love you.
a 5 year deal is good business - thats 23-28 and two years possibly more beyond The Idiots tenure.
like i hoped Giroud and Pod would work out, we should support him 100% this season.
btw if all fit we have the largest ingerland contingent now - chambers, gibbs, wilshire,ox, wally, welbeck that we've had since 2000.
And that is supposed to reassure us ??
Another signing that screams "we are making do" rather than going out and buying real quality. Another signing got where we didn't have to work to make it happen - they had signed falcao and were happy to move him on, and wellshit himself forced the move to us through after that
Players who are on the "for sale" shelf or who have a price tag around their necks are always the one's that are available and they are always the players we sign and I'm sick of it - the only thing that is big about our club anymore is our fanbase cos this manager and board will never challenge for the big trophies again, but I'm sure looking forward to hearing all those c*nts signing "1 arsene w*nker" in the coming months
Augie mate, you're going to give yourself a heart attack if you're not careful.
Just wait and see what Wellbeck does. You don't know he is going to fail any more than anyone knows he is going to succeed. He isn't a marquee signing by any means but he is a current international and things could have been much worse.
just calm yourself down or you'll be on the RIP thread!
Honestly Spuddy, I don't think that I have ever been more chilled out after a shite transfer window - way back when we signed sanchez I argued that he was a false dawn signing (a la ozil) and I also stated that it didn't matter who we signed as long as le cock remains in charge of "tactics" and as long as we don't have a proper DM, and that has proven to be the case
Re wellshit, we all know that he is better than le postman and he is probably on the same level as giroud, but is that really good enough ? Do you think that if he was the answer to our prayers, that manure would have sold him to us ? Is he honestly worth £16m now (as opposed to what he might be in 5 years time) ? Do we believe that le cock will play him centrally when giroud returns ? Will he fcuk and he bought wellshit because he knows he can shaft him out wide when giroud returns
If we look at this clearly I think that this signing was done to protect giroud as much as anything else - I haven't worked in football for 30 years, but I am guessing that players you sign are meant to be an upgrade on what you already have and I don't believe that this is the case here (at least not yet anyway). Is his loyalty to giroud a decision based on French loyalty ? We often hear him say about how le cock doesn't want to "kill" the potential of his existing signing but am guessing that doesn't apply to wally - he didn't think twice about buying a world class player (sanchez) that plays in wally's position despite the fact that it will relegate wally from the first 11, but yet he doesn't want to buy one of the available upgrades that would have relegated giroud from the starting 11, and I am saying that as a non wally fan. Wellshit will def bring some much needed pace to the central striker position (until he moves wide when giroud returns) but has he proven to be a clinically striker ? I don't believe that is the case at all.
I didn't expect le cock to make a significant striker signing so wasn't surprised on this matter really - what I was surprised about though, was the lack of a defensive signing
The c*nt himself said that he would certainly buy a centre back if/when tv5 left, but yet he refused to do so and I am at a loss to understand why
He was exceptionally lucky last season that giroud didn't pick up and injury (which would have left him fcuked with no back up striker) but I will bet my life that he wont be as lucky this season with his defence. There is no excuse for his lack of a purchase in this area and in any other club, under any half decent board and owner, such stupidity would result in a p45 but then again any board that allows him to fcuk off to some charity gig in rome yesterday, hasn't a Scooby doo either
