Praise be to G Jesus!

Post by Kingralph »

Welcome to the Arsenal. Gabbi J.

You may be the next coming of Henry and Wrighty, or you may be the next Francis Jeffers, who knows!?

I wish you luck in trying to score goals in a team that creates the square root of f***all most matches though.

Hmm, thanks for that Mc, it's interesting. Overall, better than a goal every two games, but most effective for City from out wide...a 66% return.

Very difficult to predict how he'll perform for us, because as Ralph says above he's moving from a side that creates chances for fun, to our lot who create virtually fuck all. Impossible to guess what Legohead has planned for him, but if he goes out wide, then I suppose it's Eddie up front :( and no place for Martinelli. I'd rather see Martinelli given a chance up front, but I can't see why they re-signed Eddie if they don't plan to use him.

Not sure there is a plan....looking at the transfer strategy its ....make it up as you go along....buy an ex Man City player or someone from Spain...and try and copy what Pep does

We need a few more creative midfield players :wink:

I said the other day that I reckon Martinez-Lite sees Eddie the feather as the starting striker and augie had his period about that :wink: But I can't see why he'd give Eddie a new improved contract to play back up to Baby Jeebus. I think Martinez-Lite sees Baby Jeebus as a jack of all trades to be moved around as the situation dictates.... either that or Martinez-Lite has not got a scooby what he's doing.... oh, hang on.... :wink:

Isn't this picking and choosing stats just to make it look better? If you factor in he's actually played 159 premier league game, suddenly those stats aren't as good.

Yep. Stats are horseshit. They tell us what we want them to tell us.
