    This summer...

    are you worried about Sneijder's awful stamina, think he can't play for more than an hour a game etc?

    Do you question upgrading from Riera to Silva, when Silva had an awful year by his standards and Riera is being picked for the national team ahead of him?

    What are your thoughts.


    Please no-one mention Ibra - he will forever be underrated, just wait till he scores a few knockout CL round goals

    Sneijder's awful stamina? Since when? When he is fit he never has problems playing 90 minutes and defo does not look worse for wear towards the end of games.

    Pirlo. Lampard and Pirlo are luxury players and there is absolutely no way the two of them would work in the same midfield not to mention it would cut down on Mikel's playing time and like Veron before him, Pirlo will need space and time which the Premiership might not afford him

    Ronaldo, Kaka, S. Ireland. I just couldn't abide having such prima donnas at Dalymount. Lucky the budget police are in... silver linings and all that.

    I think the most disastrous of all would have to be Michael Owen - walking medical bill

    What he said.

    But I'm an Arsenal fan, we dont do big names. Apart from Quincy Owusu-Abeyie.

    Heinze and Tevez didn't end too well did they?

    didn't end great, but so what, really.

    Heinze was fans player of the year, twice i think. He was great in his first two seasons. Wasn't the same after his injury and was replaced by arguably the best LB in football.

    Tevez was key to two league wins and a CL win and final appearance in his two seasons. Again, the ending was not great but we had two good years and no small amount of success

    Should we not sign Dutch players cause van Nistlerooy left in a bit of a storm? Stam's leaving wasn't great either.
