I love the way he talks about it turning up. As if Messi is going to walk into his office and say "I'm exceptional, and I've turned up....shall we do something?"

I bet that's what happened with United and Mata. They sat there "working day and night", "scouting every single player in the world", and then out of the blue Mata drove to Manchester, turned up at Carrington and said...."right I'm here, are you interested"

I wish the Self Harmer would simply say nothing at all sometimes
Maybe he's waiting for Odemwingie :wink:

Oh my mistake, he did say exceptional

Salah a good player, not a top player. As far as the media reporting he's a replacement for Mata, that's like saying Walcott was a replacement for Terence :oops:

The point AW makes about the chavs is actually what most of us are saying here. mata's sale is a crafty one to a team they can no longer face and is no longer a threat. The blinder they've played is in screwing the scousers.They sent them Moseswhom the scousers have now realised is sh*t. That's the player Salah has been brought in to replace. Moses will probably be sold to wet spam/villa in the summer.

Chelsea is a graveyard for ambitious young players. Then again if you're ambitious why go somewhere you won't play apart from for a pay day

AW should have gone for that d*ckhead the scum have in goal, reckon he thinks he's an outfield player. No goalie,dfefnders or strikers, it's the future boys....Embrace it :oops: :wink: :barscarf:

And No, JD's not coming, shame we aren't after Koke, then we'd not be getting a JD and Koke........................................................................................... :oops:

Oh dear, I'll get my coat

Draxler is close to coming, though I reckon this deal had been all but signed earlier this season....in effect he "came" a month ago.
A player in his position is not a "knee-jerk reaction" target, not with our well stocked midfield, and especially as he is not currently fit!

In fairness, he said that before we signed Ozil so your point is a little redundant mate :D

Draxler is cumming :barscarf: (according to his girlfriend)

Wenger wants to play with a 'false nine'

And also a 'false two', a 'false three' and a 'false five' and 'false six'

TEN MEN IN MIDFIELD.......THERE'S ONLY TEN MEN IN MIDFIELD

Not. going. to. happen.

£42million Ozil was an accident like a drunken shag with a less than attractive lass, the board and AW have sobered up and realised what they've done and are thinking WTF, that's so not happening again. :oops:

SteveO - your relentless pessimism is a source of much hilarity here in officepest towers. Good work Sir, keep it up. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I expected nothing and thus I wont be disappointed ..............we need a striker we need some defenders but wont do much .
It would appear we are all over the market BUT in reality we are are only looking for a loan Striker !
Since Bendy could be back in a week or so I cant see things happening !
