    Maybe he's not good enough, there is a possibly he's a donkey and we wouldnt want to add more to our squad.

    If say he is def good enough the talent is there it's just his attitude

    I know he has a bit of an attitude but has anyone seen him play?

    Surely someone bigger than QPR would be after him since he is well known at this stage

    There was bigger teams after him up until a few months ago. His asking price has halved since because now no one wants to touch him with a ten foot pole. As far as I know it was nothing to do with a dip in form just his attitude and off field antics. He could be a shrewd piece of business IMO.

    Anyone have faith in Walcott today to do the business for us? My gut feeling is saying he'll bottle it.

    I hope so too. Big test for him today. If he does well I'll start believing he can make it as a striker long term.

    His current manager still rates him...

    #Antonetti: 'Damn! When you're best player (#MVila) is probably on his way to a side bottom of the #PL' (via @F8Piraux)

    So do I and I think he would be a great addition to our midfield. I'll be very disappointed if he's on his way to QPR.

    Zaha just Tweeted that he's "on his way to the top of the premier league"

    Then the tweet was deleted.

    So he's not going to us then is that right?

    Campbell played brilliant again last night for Betis who are up to 4th

    I'm gonna be banging his drum all summer long again :)

    Aye he's quality. He's going to be important for us in coming years.

    Correct!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,969 ✭✭✭robby^5


    I dunno about anybody else but I don't feel like we missed out on Zaha because he's still just a name to me and with Ox, Ryo, Campbell, Gnabry and Eisfeld I think we're pretty well stocked in young attacking potential. When you consider what Zaha would cost I'd just prefer we go buy another ready made player.

    Twitter suggesting that Arteta will be out this afternoon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭jonneymendoza


    I think we're due one of our crazy games tomorow imo City have a few missing and they'll need to go for the win especially if as expected United despatch Liverpool I'll go out on a limb and say 4-2 to us
    We better play well.its freezing cold outside

    Confirmed by Arteta himself on his own twitter account - would like to see Rosicky today.

    Some lad called Diaby starting in midfield.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,393 ✭✭✭Ed Winchester


    No Mertesacker. Very disappointing.

    No Aguarro, Yaya or Nasri for City.
    If we don't manage a good result here we may quit.

    The M'Vila thing is a bit bizarre, this should be were Wenger shows his managerial skills. A good young player who other teams are scared to touch due to his attitude and reputation..sounds awfully like a certain Dutch striker we had recently.

    From talking to a few French friends M'Vila sounds like a French Joey Barton off the field and maybe a bit of Balotelli on the field (attitude wise). Do we really need that in our team?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,429 ✭✭✭Pierce_1991


    I hate the fact that a good result for us is good for united :(

    If his quality is of the same level as Balotelli I wouldn't mind. If he's only as good as Barton then QPR can have him.

    I hate the fact that a good result for United is irrelevant for us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,129 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    I think i'm over RVP, there was a little smile when he scored, i'd imagine it would be like releasing a bird you raised into the wild only to see the bird later on doing well.

    An absolute farcical effort been put in by this tame pathetic Arsenal team, I thought when a team goes down to 10 men they roll the sleeves up and work harder but no they allow City to knock the ball about with an embarrassing amouny of space. Our defending at times is also school boy stuff and thats been harsh on schoolboy football, I can see this and every tom dick and harry can see it why cant Wenger?

    Sad to see really.

    'Cos he's too busy doing the books to notice.

    We are losing the game but we're pulling in a full house today, the board and Wenger are probably more concerned with the unsold 900 tickets and its impact on the books, it's unexpected loss
