We're all on the same side but many of us are frustrated with the lack of signings.

You trust Wikipedia

Soccerbase has him at the same age.

and ESPN
http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/119005/jonjo-shelvey?cc=5739

Any links yourself to suggest otherwise or are we to take your word for it?

I'd imagine so I know a lot of United fans who are equally as bemused and frustrated as Arsenal fans.

I was just saying Wikipedia isn't the most reliable of Sources geez.

You said singings. Red Hurley is a singer. One of the best around actually. You should check him out. His lucid tones might settle you down a bit.

They are champions and have a strong squad. Still think they will win this year. Big difference, we are thread bare and lacking depth.

Well he's playing for Arsenal and other is playing for a newly prmoted team, yeah there is a big difference.

Henry only scored 17 goals in his first season with Arsenal and that was with a team of:

Seaman
Winterburn Keown Adams Dixon

Overmars Viera Petit Ljunberg

Bergkamp.

The teams he scored against were:
Southampton
Derby
Wimbledon
Leeds
Sunderland
Bradford
Spurs
Coventry
Sheffield Wednesday
Watford
Chelsea

i.e 4 top ten teams (underlined)

Giroud scored 5 less, with our team of last year. Teams he scored against:
West Ham
Fulham
Spurs
Newcastle
Liverpool
Reading
Norwich

i.e 3 top ten teams (underlined)

Does that mean you would have dropped Henry because he only scored against weak teams, when he was surrounded by that team posted above?

The striker with the two left feet. Jaysis he's going to be our main striker this season .

He IS left-footed...

Looper007 wrote: »

Rickie Lambert, I throw a few million Southampton's way. He causes big teams a lot of problems and is a better player for me then Giroud.

I am in shock.

TBH I'm really starting to think this might be a troll job. Although a troll would probably think that statement would be too ridiculous to use as it might blow his cover.

I think we all need a time-out until tomorrow.

Let's just forget Shelveygate even happened.

Gringo180 · 14-08-2013 10:34PM

In other news , Santi on target for Spain against Ecuador. That's a gruelling trip across the Atlantic esp for a friendly lets hope he is fresh for Saturday.

Quazzie · 14-08-2013 10:34PM

Clive Mendonca was scoring all around him in the Championship back then. We should've bought him instead of Henry.

gosplan · 14-08-2013 10:34PM

Ok, about to read 10 new pages in last 2 hours. Better be something good in this.

If it's all paullegend crap, I'm leaving forever.

That Spain bench could win the world cup too. They play a lot in south America for friendlies don't they.

No worries, I'll go back and delete my threads on the subject... this thread is messy enough as it is.

I always remember a hat trick on the opening day for Charlton, and was tipped for all sorts. He ended up missing most of the season through injury though.

EDIT: Just read on Wiki that he never recovered from his injuries and got money from the PFA to train to be an oil rig worker :eek:

For the love of god man don't do it to yourself. It's excruciating reading material.

The state of Bendtner in that photo. He looks more like a yoga instructor than a footballer.

If some of you like Grioud that's you're choice.

I only suggested Lambert as a Squad player and I like him more then Giroud (so sue me)

I think we should be aiming higher for a first team striker. Bergkamp wasn't an out and out striker and 17 goals from that position was great but I regress.

Let's not go overboard. I hope Giroud proves me wrong and we win the EPL.

Its embarrassing the depth of talent the Spanish have, even a small principality in the country like Catalonia could win a World Cup.

It was Henry who scored 17 goals.
