Stop posting crap and people might like you more



Steve, can you just banned this b*****d,

toilet man you constantly clogged up the forum with a constant stream of drivel. i sense that there is something sexual that you get out of the number of responses to each thread that you post. the fact that you continue to start threads regarding players signing for the club that we all know are coming for carious reasons is proof enough.

now do us all a favour, pull your trousers up, wipe your arris, flush the chain (must be rancid by now) and go and do something useful like boiling your head.

For those that are not Twitter followers, this fella called 'YouaremyArsenal' says M'Vila to Arsenal is done, and Arseblog has backed him up and has said he is reliable... :rubchin:

So what's the deal with this M'villa chap? Is he any good? I don't really know much about him to be honest but he strikes me as another Gervinho-esque "meh" signing from Wenger. Cheap, French/African, Young...

He's a holding midfielder/deep lying playmaker, apparently in the top bracket of young players in Europe. Seems to control the tempo very well in an Arteta-esque manner, and is very calm on the ball (unlike Billong).

Should give you some idea of his game.

M'Vila is already one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. He's on another level entirely to Gervinho. If we sign him I'll be truly impressed.

You are right and you're not quite right. Reading the tweets the guy was intially reluctant to name names but just said the fee is £10m+ and will be announced soon after West Brom. Said he was asked by ITK sources not to reveal name. Then got a load of abuse so named M'Villa but with a load of caveats. Says the fee is agreed. Nothing on the player or personal terms... what if we come 5th?? Doesn't seem very surre of himself. Gives fee ranges and dates to be announced but then seems to be adding loads of caveats and claims it's just what he's been told. From this, the whole of twitter has it as a DONE DEAL. :rubchin:

I wouldn't pay too much credence to it if I were you.

As for what type of player M'Vila is, think of him as a Frimpong but with more intelligence, technique, maturity and leadership.

All well and good but showing a DM making great passes or having good shots is not what I want to see - is he strong in the tackle ? What is he like in the air ? What is his mobility and speed like ? How positionally aware is he ? These are all traits that we have lacked in our current DM (and obviously I use that phrase loosely when it comes to song :roll: )

On a side question do ye believe that song might be on his way out if we signed this guy ? This is not a thought that I like but is it possible that wenger plans on song playing alongside this guy ? That would only leave 1 spot open in our midfield when in reality arteta and wilshire should be the automatic choices for there

Has Nick Powell signed yet?

What about Chamakh's contract extension?

Will Arshavin be returning as captain once his loan is over and RvP has left?

These are the key questions I want answers to

Still predicting that we'll win every game comfortably. Given yesterday's results I'm surprised he wasn't here declaring what a 'great weekend' it had been and that if we finish 3rd how it will be continuing this 'golden era' for the club :D
