    I'm sure the management know we're light on players

    Arsenal fans have been laughing at the fact Liverpool are refusing to sell for £40m because it would be retarded to sell him to a direct rival.The majority of Arsenal fans here see 4th place as a direct shootout between yourselves and Spurs and that's fine.

    But to laugh off the fact that Liverpool are looking to build a squad capable of challenging for 4th and that we should just bend over backwards before the season has started has seriously started to piss off Liverpool fans.Arsenal fan's have that "We're so much better than you" attitude for no reason whatsoever.

    Arsenal fans haven't had to deal with what we have over the last 5 years.Our club was sold to a bunch of cowboys who lumbered on the debt and sent us 10 years backwards after we had won the CL,gotten to another final and then narrowly missing out on the league (Thanks to Arshavin for that) Last season Rodgers had to rebuild or squad from scratch the majority of Liverpool fans expected us to finish a long way off the top 4 and that's exactly what happened.This season will be different we've strengthened beyond recognition from this day last year.I still think that we will miss out but not by as much as people are saying.

    I your opinion what have Arsenal done wrong? Factually?
    Factually? OK then. It is illegal for a club to talk to an agent to know about a players contractual clause or their willingness to join the club. This constitutes tapping up in any book. Also, Arsenal players talking about him. I'm pretty sure there was outrage in here with all the Barca players talking about Fabregas and so on.

    There have also been some Arsenal fans talking crap in the LFC thread over recent weeks, which was part of my post as well since the OP was talking about LFC fans turning him against the club.

    I doubt he will. He loves his throwaway comments that lad.

    I don't think I've ever had any interaction with you in this or any other forum, and I'm pretty sure these are my first (or close to it) posts in an Arsenal club thread. Perhaps you could provide some posters opinions who I deal with consistently as to the throwaway nature of my comments normally?

    Fact. It has been reported since last year in every rag about the clause long before our interest. My fcukin misses knew about it.

    More Liverpool players have spoke about him and referenced Arsenal.... Fact

    Seriously? Better squad? Shrewd signings? Coutinho and sturridge, fair enough decent signings, but we're stronger across the board. Kolo is a fat man City reserve, the Spanish lads are completely unproven so far. Only mingolet would be considered a good signing, although at the expense of a loyal club servant in Reina. We've let 28 players go, we're definitely going to make signings, you're overreacting a bit.

    If we signed those four players would you be calling us Shrewd? I wouldn't, I'd be pissed off.

    Toure can still do a job. Did you see our defending over the weekend?? A 34 year old Didier Drogba absolutely tore us to pieces it hardly inspires confidence when you see that happening. We have 2 goalkeepers who at times are complete clowns and will cost us goals this season. Why didn't we go in for Mignolet?? We haven't ever had a keeper who can really be a match winner since the days of Seaman or Lehmann.

    Arsenal fans have a few years of **** themselves between the crap there is a lot of empity for Liverpool in here.

    There would have been a whole different level of **** in here if it where united or anyone else

    We should sign Drogba.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭brianregan09





    Does anyone know much about him ?? Could help Suarez settle in :D I joke haha but seriously could be a good signing if true


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,216 ✭✭✭Looper007


    One thing to my fellow Arsenal fan's, Why are you guy's taking advice from Liverpool fan's they haven't got top 4 football in 5 years. They would swap places with us in a heartbeat. I have no doubt in my mind. They can throw insults at us but we're raking in the money just our manager isn't spending any.

    Apart from the fact he played at the u20 world cup and is a defensive midfielder i dunno much about him. Id imagine we should be able to get a visa for him assuming he impresses on trial. How ready he is for the first team, i dunno. Looks well built anyway standing beside Verminator, sort of Tevez like (well not quite i suppose but heading that way)

    Well ok then, if ye want to think that Arsene read a news story and thought about chancing his arm by bidding a low amount first then, then offered £1 above a mooted clause, which coincidentally some other news stories that you may have missed (since you seem to be relying on them as your evidence) said Suarez and his agent would like to happen, without any contact between the parties then go on ahead.

    Jenks Sagna Mert Miquel, I wouldn't be overly concerned about defending when that was the back 4 on the pitch at the time..

    The worry is that it wouldn't take that much of an injury crisis for that to be our back 4.

    This thread has turned into a support service for Liverpool fans on the edge.

    Can you not whine and/or work through the issues in your own thread?

    I never had a whine in here, only football chat. The thread is open to all fans

    Its open to all fans, but Liverpool angst is best expressed on your own thread, where the rest of us can avoid it if desired.

    Well Vieira was 20 when he arrived :) no pressure then, But yeah hope we get him, even as backup at the moment with our Midfield's super injury record :rolleyes:

    As for the L/pool vs Arsenal Dross is going on at the moment, Im not even going to acknowledge it from here its silly

    Michael ⚽ Gooner ‏@MickTheGooner 3s
    Arsenal have "apparently" been given permission to speak to Luis Suarez, claims Paul Mariner on ESPN. The forward will be leaving Liverpool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,224 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    Christ what the hell has happened will all Liverpool fans who are coming in here to bitch and moan please find the door and let themselves out of here, this is the Arsenal thread I don't care how Rodgers has had to re build a squad. We as Arsenal fans have put up with loosing players for years now and not once have I gone into the United or City thread moaning about those players going why A: Because I know they wont care B: because I would get riled up because they would only be looking out for there own club and not care about other teams so of coarse there will bias in a United or City thread.


    Any sane Liverpool fan will admit right now Arsenal are the bigger, richer and more attractive club for a player are we top draw no, but were a bigger draw than Liverpool yes it may hurt Liverpool fans to hear that but its true and coming in here sounding terribly bitter is not going to help or change that. Liverpool managment, owners and plaers are the ones doing most the talking about it they leaked the bids to the press, watch Wenger and any Arsenal players have all remained very coy on the situation and are trying to say as little as possible, comparing it to what Barca done for Cesc is laughable.


    I'll give Rarnes credit he is the only Liverpool fan so far to come in and be able to talk rational and have a debate without it getting into tit for tat, as for the rest of the Liverpool supporters in here you's are sounding like overgrown kids.

    You are quite right, and so it should be..... its all about football in the end, no matter who one supports.

    They remind me of Phil Thompson, they defend their club no matter what gets thrown at them even to the point of annoyance. They get to feel how we do when clubs rob our best players.

    I really don't want Suarez. I can't believe how easily people seem to forget what a piece of **** he is.

    I hope we sign a few good players soon though, we're worryingly short on numbers.
