    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


    I can remember Vieira's debut back in 1996 against the Owls at Hillsborough and from the first pass he played you just sensed we had signed a top top player.

    The fact we have this highly courted lad Perez on trial is certainly a good sign in any case but im not sure how long his trial will last for and if others are in for him. We once had a Uruguayan goalkeeper Farini on trial as well as Yaya Toure but neither materialised. The Toure one turned out to look like a ridiculous blunder on our part and considering his brother was at the club he would have needed little convincing to sign for us. That said he was tried as a striker but what a replacement for Vieira he would have been if he had been tried in the middle.

    I think we have dozens of players on trial each season but only a few end up signing, anyone remember bischoff!?

    He was with us for a year but was a crock from the word go. Undoubted talent but just unfortunate with injuries which ultimately set him back.

    Arsenal fans should just blank out the Pool ****e being posted in here. It's getting ridiculous at this stage we are not the reason your club is in decline nor are we the reason Suarez wants to jump ship, coming in here like sensitive children writing crap ( excluding Rarnes) is pointless. Reasonable discussion or GTFO

    Like i said in my previous post i think this thread has gone downhill dramatically. i will help put right by posting some more pics of yesterdays game

    Perhaps he plays predominately on the wing but 5 goals in 34 games and two years is woeful. Sure we should have hung on to Gervinho, Bendtner, or Chamakh at that rate

    A 27-year-old released by Schalke. Not what I'm hoping for from us.

    You'd want to read the latest sh*te to come from 'Arry Redknapp. What a grade-A spoofer especially with that Notts Forest reference!

    Was good years ago, not so much anymore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,831 ✭✭✭speedboatchase


    So here are the new players we've been linked to in the past couple of days: Ginter, Abdulrahman, Vadillo and Marica. Aside from Ginter, I'm not fussed.

    That's not saying much. Look at the back-up strikers at Utd (Hernandez), Chelsea (Ba) and City (probably Negredo/Dzeko); that should be our level.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,608 ✭✭✭cathalio11


    I'd have to agree with the above.

    Back-up strikers have proved crucial in the past. Hell, look at the point Hernandez won here and there for United. And Dzeko for City.

    And arguably both of them could be starters for us, CF really is our weakest position right now.

    Don't know if its true but says Liverpool were hoping Suarez would hand in a transfer request when he was with Ajax.

    According to the Times, Arsenal have joined Juventus in the race for Geoffrey Kondogbia, who is valued at £14m

    Sure we are all sensitive about the clubs we support. What do you expect liverpool fans to say. Yes take out world class striker do your wonderful club. Arsenal is a small step up from liverpool at the moment, I can't see why he would wanna go to arsenal. It doesn't make sense. He has the same chance of winning a league or a champions league at liverpool as he does at Arsenal which is none.

    My last post on this matter promise.


    Ah but the see the main difference is if Arsenal sign Suarez plus one or two other top class players we become title challengers, were as Liverpool are ridiculously far off challenging at the moment there trying to be challengers for champions League spots something we can already provide ;).

    Plus playing in the Champions League is not a small step up it is were every good player wants to be.

    Do you really thing Arsenal are going sign three world class players. If liverpool signed 3 world class players. I'm sure they would be challenging for the title as well.

    Maybe not maybe they will, Gustavo seems to be going cheap enough and a player were reported to be interested in.

    But lets say we sign Suarez it sends out a huge message of intent and will make getting players in January and next summer easier, moving us further up the ladder. Were not a million miles off we just need a few sprinkles of class, defence was solid last season. A world class CF would be huge for Arsenal as despite the loss of Van Persie last season we scored more goals add in a Suarez or someone of his level and we could be a totally different prospect.
