funnily enough, i think RVP may jump at champions league football next year - if united don't make the top 4 and we do i think he'll be 'desparate' to leave. he's 31 in August.

"Footballing Reasons" then.

rmember the game where everyone got stuck into van nistleroy - love watching him get shoved around - i want to see our current crop do the same to RVP but i don't reckon we have anyone with enough go in them to match that effort.

ps i reckon we should bid $1m for RVP

Highly doubt we would, although we've certainly got a stronger spine than we've had for years we're not nasty and van Judas is actually one of the only recent players we've had who with a bit of a snarl round him.

And as much as I'd like to see him twatted from pillar to post I would rather see Koscielny and BFG sniff out every chance he has with minimal fuss rather than kick him off the park and he still bags a goal or two.

@AgentJim_
Arsene Wenger has made Dimitar Berbatov a January target. A bid is very likely to be made so I'm hearing

@AgentJim_
Berbatov to Arsenal is a big possibility. Don't say I didn't tell you so.

So according to this "reliable" source on twitter he is coming to Arsenal. Let's make a bid just to piss spurs off.

Berbatov? OH NO!!! :banghead: We should have Poldolski and possibly Yaya by February or so. The King should be sold by then. Why do we need a Berbatov?

Arsenal's number 1 target in the upcoming window is Dzeko & he wants to join us. Let's hope we can get a deal done with City

why would city sell a striker to their only competiition in a two horse race ?

i think we'll get something from Real Madrid who'll take Suarez.

di Maria or Benzema would love to play with Ozil again. :barscarf:

cant see how madrid are going to afford suarez, if he continues on this form they'll be looking for bale type money.

united might just pay that...


i just read that Pod will be in contention for the city game btw - in an interesting piece that pointed out that Pod scored 16 goals last season and got 2 in 2 this season, and in terms of goals to chances is our best finisher by some margin.

AW may well not go for a striker if Pod starts well in the big two games coming up.

Ox is now finally finally back in training.
