No i fucking am not!! :evil: Yes we finally got a defender we've all been telling our great manager :roll: we desperately needed but apart from that all i can see is others rejects.. If Yossi isn't good enough for the chavs then why is he for us? We might have some new faces but the quality has been sold,the lack of ambition at our club sucks... :(
We have to admit to ourselves that we are not one of the top tier clubs anymore. A lot players who aren't good enough for top tier clubs' first teams are good enough for us. And Chelsea are a club who can afford to have Torres, Drogba, Anelka and Lukaku as their striking options. Not forgetting Sturridge and Kalou too. All of these are good enough for our squad, and half of them for our first team.

And on Benayoun in particular. He was a squad player in Chelsea, and that's what I presume he will be with us. He is not really a reject so no problem. But this does show what Chelsea think of us. They clearly think we are no challenge so they don't care about strengthening our squad.

Hello bog-brain.

Care to enlighten us proles with your fantastic Arsenal knowledge? You could tell us mroe amazing facts like yesterday's one, where you reminded us that we were nothing but a small mid-table provincial backwater until Wenger turned up to save us!

Or alternatively, you could shut the fuck up and go back to watching CBBC. Half-term will be over before you know it, so don't waste your time chatting with gronw-ups. Off you go...

Liverpool sold Raul Meireles to Chelsea, I see nobody claiming he's a 'Liveprool reject'

FFS! Meireles is moving up and handed in a transfer request in the same way Arteta did.
Beayoun couldn't make the fucking bench at chavski, and is whether you like it or not moving down. :roll:

Errr....that's because there was a £12 million fee involved.

It's also because Meireles wasn't given away like penny sweets, on loan to a so-called 'rival'.

It's also because Chelski are clearly a bigger club than Pool and can bully them out of a player.

Arsenal are now a smaller club than Chelski. Big clubs lend smaller clubs their players to help them out (see Lansbury joining West Ham).

There was nofee involved for Benayoun. Just a loan.

Rejects traditionally downgrade from a bigger club with bigger potential to a smaller club with less potential - that is what Benayoun has done. He has gone from a club that has won a double, another 2 league titles and an FA Cup in the past six years, to a club that's won nothing in the respective period.

It would be like swapping your iPhone 4 for a Mercury One to One.

If Meireles is a reject for upgrading clubs, then Luis Figo was also a 'Barca reject' I suppose?

Also, Benayoun couldn't get anywhere near Chelski's first eleven, no chance.

He could easily walk into Arsenal's though (or is Rosicky top class?)

Apart from all them differences, I completely agree with everything you said.

:oops:

He couldn't make the bench as he was out with an injury.

And so what if he put in a transfer request? Heinze did and Fergie forced him to stay and sold him to another club. Modric made public his desire to leave and is being forced to stay so they don't sell him. I see no bloody difference

The best ting about this transfer window was the real overhall of the entire squad. Nasri and Cesc was going anyway, and I dont juge Wenger or the Board for that. We shipped out Denilson, Eboue, Bendtner and Traore. I am glad to see that we just loand out Bendtner because I think we should give him one last chance to se if he can perform as a regular striker in the Premiership before we make up our mind about selling him. We have brought in experienced players, and I am glad that both Arteta and Benayon have premiership experience. We also have exciting youth in Ryo, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Frimpong, Gibbs and still young but proven players in Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott etc. The one thing I am suprised about in this transfer window is that neither Cahill, Samba or Jagielka was sold. I believe we should have bought either Cahill or Samba in addition to Mertesacker. I am also a little dissaponted that niether Hazard or M'Vila was bought, but if the selling clubs refuse to sell, you cant really do anything about it. I just hope that the rest of the Cesc/Nasri money will be used in January or June.

Why are you asking piresistible? It's not his own comment.

If you honestly telling me that you cannot see the difference between a big club like Chelsea who have won lots of things, loaning out a player to a smaller non-threatening Arsenal....

And a smaller club like Liverpool losing a first team plaer for a big enough fee to a bigger club, then there is no more to discuss.

read this from me mate wrighty7:

Double Standard Mugs
Some people out there make me laugh harder than when I'm watching Harry Redknapp having a twitching fit when S*urs are losing.

Many said Arsene Wenger needed to add to the squad and 'spend some fucking money' or Arsenal would free fall into the Orpington and Bromley Division 5 Sunday league in no time.

Well, Wenger has finally dusted the cobwebs from the Arsenal chequebook and brought in several dead-line deals and all the sudden he has panic-bought!

It does my head in more than Marmite, and I hate Marmite, so gawd knows how Arsene Wenger feels.

Look, don't get me wrong, it would have been better if Wenger had had a settled squad a few weeks ago but it didn't happen.

However, he was rectified that now with some very good signings so how this is panic-buying I will never know.

If that 'diamond geezer' Harry Redknapp had done the same deals as Wenger the media would be absolutely creaming their knickers.

Sky Sports News would be going mental.

Imagine the breaking news banner at the bottom of the TV screen. It would have gone into meltdown faster than Usain Bolt having a sprint on the sun.

Harry would be proclaimed as a genius or the messiah and we should bow before him or his twitch would strike us down in fury.

Arsene still gets stick and he has done exactly what people wanted him to do!

How can he win?

These players that Wenger has brought in are of high quality and still he receives grief.

Its double standards of the highest order if you ask me.
