If he is then that's one strange fan..
I have never seen someone take that much delight and gloat when we lose.
His joys are in the failings of the club - fair nuff if you've got an agenda against the manager but i think his hatred for wenger has driven him insane.,

' Mourinho feels a spell in England will help to develop the 23-year-old's game, but he is refusing to be drawn into a debate as to where Sahin may end up.

"It can teach him particular characteristics of play that he doesn't have at the moment," said the Portuguese tactician.

"I couldn't care less if he goes to Arsenal, or Liverpool or Tottenham. I have no preference because with all the respect in the world to these very good teams, none of them will be threatening us in the Champions League"

ZING. Ouch.
:oops:
Being a Gooner Bab's wouldn't you like to see him be made to eat his words.....never mind whether it would/could ever happen, but as a Gooner surely you'd like to see Arsenal/Wenger take those words and shove them up his arris!?
I would. But you can't disagree with what Jose said though can you? No one could. It's a statistical FACT borne by our zero success in that competition. It's sad but true.
I'd love for us to win the CL but I am also realistic enough to realise it is an impossibility with the current clown posing as a manager running our teaam. Sahin would be a decent signing for us no doubt but as I said, couldn't see Jose letting ManYoo have him can you?

Indeed. Best Arsenal blog out there my friend.
The kryptonite of the AKB! Doesn't seem to possess the same arse-kissing requirements of sucking up to Wenger and the club through fear of not getting perks etc etc...

I genuinely don't understand why the Wenger lovers think Mourinho is the one holding up the Sahin thing? Do you think Jose is so hung up on Wenger! In the past 7 odd years, Jose Mourinho has won I believe 4 league titles, about 7 domestic cups, the World club cup and the CL.
In that corresponding period, Wenger and Arsenal have won nothing.
So we are not a threat of any note to Madrid. Mourinho won the argument against Wenger a long long time ago.
Jose keeps winning, Wenger keeps failing.
So if Sahin doesn't sign, the AKBs cannot use Jose as the excuse here, because there's no 'competition' with Wenger - only in their minds!
I don't understand what is taking so long on the Sahin deal....Oh hold up, maybe I do.

Arsenal transfers Out: £45 mil (Ozyakup, Vela, RVP, Thong)
Arsenal transfers in: £37 mil (Cazorla, Giroud, Podolski)

£8 million in profits.

Who here genuinely thinks the full-back positions, the DCM position and the striker position (Arsenal need a serious striker. Going through a season relying on Poldi and Giroud would be a joke) will be strengthened? Wenger has 8 mil profit. So to satisfy his performance-related bonus, he will have to make the board at least 5 mil. Leaving 3 mil to strengthen. Still...am sure there's some rubbish Franco-African languishing at Valenciennes or Toulous somewhere...

I actually think some one like M'villa gives us more balance to the team than Sahin. Unless Sahin deal is too good to pass up.

Cazorla was a bigger signing than Sahin would be

Would anyone else take a cheeky punt with Michael Dawson? The heathens are selling for around the 9mil mark.
Where would he fit into the team?
Surely a question more relevant to Tom Huddlestone? :oops: :lol: :lol: (Although I have to admit that there are few better passers of the ball than the fat spud). :shock: :oops: :lol: :wink:

I do like him at times, but sometimes he can get a bit samey - like his latest post was about a game that he barely watched. I think that I prefer Goonerboy...usually insightful.

But I did see one of your posts from a couple of weeks back and was quiet surprised because it was quite a bit different from your posts on here which made me question whether or not it was you :D
