Sorry flash, screwed up the copy and paste as I missed half of it off!

That shows that copy and paste doesnt work.

[flash gunner]

yeh sure.

So who is James then? IHH isnt called James from memory so how can you reply to IHH and refer to James?

Its not copied anyway like you dummies would understand.
Anyways if Adebayor does leave, I wouldn't be surprised if AW doesn't bring anyone in to replace him. In attack, we have RVP, Eduardo, Vela and Bendtner. Not to mention Theo and young Jay. Plus the fact tha AA's best position is off the front man. I dunno if a forward is such a necessity. Eduardo is a 20 goal man if he's fit. No doubt about that. RVP and Bendtner are in double digits in a hard season this year and Vela looks a very promising talent. Same goes for Jay who i think looks a lot more direct than Theo really from his games in the reserves and at WBA this year. So it really wouldn't be the end of the world if no one came in up front. Remember Rosicky comes back next season too and Wilshire, Barazite and Fran might be able to step up so we might have too many of those winger/playmaker off the striker players. I think we're best served expecting the worst when it comes to how much money is available this summer. Say the board had NO money to give AW...we might get 20 mill from Ade at best plus maybe a few smaller sales in Bischoff, Senderos and hopefully Silvestre will increase that kitty. So that gives us a decent amount to find that holding player and centerback. I really think we're 3 players short of competing at the top. If we can bring in some power and physicality in those signings i think we'd do much much much better. I completely disagree that we have a lack of experience. What's our best 11 if everyone's fit...Almunia,Sagn, Clichy, Gallas, Toure, Song, Cesc, Arshavin, Rosicky/Nasri, RVP, Eduardo (if Ade leaves). Not that young...but way weak. That's what we need...some Keown, Viera types that are gonna batter opponents. No one liked playing us when those two were in our team. That's what we need again! I'd rather we be known for getting red cards and "assaulting" teams (as SAF once said abt us) like before than be what we are now....a soft touch.

I thought his name was james

For every Augie, Donaldo or Goonersid there is a tinpot lane, Cesc is God or Belfast Boy. There are even some sensible posters - like IU4GN, g88ner, Number 5 and others - who are somewhere inbetween the two 'extremes'.

An extremist

Apologies to you Belfast Boy. One of the names that instantly came to me and I didn't mean extremist in the gooner sid sense , but more that you were, in contrast to the others mentioned, very pro-Wenger and the Board. However, without sounding patronising, unlike so many of that persuasion, you do argue your points very well. Maybe I should have used Swale as an example instead?

Apologies also to Number 5. What was I thinking labelling you sensible? Your reputation as the forum 'nutter' is sure to go downhill now!! Although to be fair to you, rationality and good sense - and even the occasional bit of sarcasm to remind us of the old you - has been streaming out of you since you stopped posting whilst drunk!!

No, it's not.

No problem Hlebby, as I said at the time the board was taking on an extremely negative bias and I was merely trying to restore some balance

I feel there is plenty of reason for optimism at the club, we have some crackin players, but I think possibly we do lack a bit of self-belief which would explain why we tend to win against the bigger boys when it doesn't matter, to sort of show them that we are better, cos let's face it in a lot of ways we are and I think that comes down to maturity and the men against boys thing!

The one player I would love to have back at the club now as a 20 something is Patrick Vieira what could he do for us just lining up in the tunnel against him scared the shit out of most opponents, he was intimidating figure and a born leader, just look at the effect that Eric Cantona had on Utd's kids he was the final piece in the jigsaw for them and every one of them freely admits it and in the Neville's and Butt they also had their fair share of journeymen!

It's a fine line between winning and losing and with being a year older and a bit of fine tuning from AW to get the balance of the squad right and a just a modicum of luck we will be a force once more. I don't care what anyone sez, we were very very close to taking the title last year and absolutely everything that could've went wrong did, no wonder Gallas was apoplectic, he simply couldn't believe how often luck seemed to conspire against us at every turn, embodied by the drastic set of events at St. Andrews which effectively ended our season!

Roll on August

I have deleted the original post by ramon as it is a copy and paste and in no way relates to what he was originally debating with IHH. I don't like deleting posts but ramon has been warned on numerous occasions about copy and pasting.

Unfortunately I've had to go in and edit posts that quote him by Flash and IHH. Apologies lads. I'm going to lock this thread because it is a mess.
