Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2013/14

Must be so good for the others.
The attention Özil will get will leave space for Cazorla maybe.
God I cant wait to see him.
Im tempted to go to the Stoke match.

Jeez lads I have it bad. Watching Ozil videos has become like a new kind of porn to me waiting to see him line up in his debut

One observation from looking at all these highlights is I would say Cristiano Ronaldo will really miss him.
He must have final assisted 70% of his goals.

Also, John Henry.
What are we smoking?
Big fuking German cigars washed down with German beer.

I am excited beyond belief.

Ah yes, good ol mister umlaut, be thankful theres no eszett :pac:

Is rather stick with the options we have to be honest. I have faith with Theo playing throught the middle if needs be with Ozil Cazorla and either OX or Rosicky behind

Apologies if posted already

He did win the league and most likely got a big pay rise, I was p*ssed when he left but the team he played with was muck and all we did was Song chipped the ball to rvp and he scored.

Maybe if we signed the players we have now then he would have stayed, id blame the club for having a lack of ambition.

Hopefully we can add to ozil and really make a go at winning things, the 40 million is just the tv money, with the group we have in the champions league and the money for getting to the top 16 is huge, also spurs straightening too, it just has a feel that we're aiming for 4th and just to get out of the group to turn over the all important profit.

But the money wasn't available then at the time to Wenger to sign the players we needed or he wanted but you can be sure Wenger explained to him what the situation was and were he saw the cub going.

Were clearly aiming for fourth, you really think Ozil would have signed unless Wenger hadn't sold him on Arsenal plans for the future? He said one phone call from Wenger persuaded him to join and you can be sure Wenger didn't say yeh lets bring on fourth place .

Plus I think ourselves and Spurs can be possibly aiming higher this year, Chelsea baffle me great defence great midfiled but just sent there best CF out on loan and and are incredibly weak up front, the signing of Ozil scared Chelsea enough for them to refuse to loan us Ba.

United's midfield even with the addition of Fellaini is still weak and I don't think Moyes will have the same knack Ferguson did for getting the best out of an average team and grind out results, Young, Valencia,Cleverly etc are no great shakes.

City have a great squad but last season struggled to make it click and it remains to be seen whether Pellegrini can make it happen.

I'm not saying we will win the league, but we certainly have more than enough to really push on and threaten them teams this season I'm already aiming higher than fourth, remember last season we only finished 5 points behind City.

Honestly, I think Torres and Ba are better than Lukaku.

That's just my opinion but it's even arguable that Ba at Newcastle was more impressive than Lukaku at West Brom.

I'm just nit-picking though. I agree wholly with the above post.

I do like Ba and think he would have been a good addition as back up to Giroud but he is clearly not fancied at Chelsea by Mourinho doubt he will see much game time, Torres well we all know what the deal is with him.

Eto at 32 is not going to be the same player he once was and I don't think playing in Russia for two years will have helped him can he still score goals at a high level remains to be seen.

Lukaku I think should have stayed and will be a great player, I know a few Chelsea fans who were not to happy about the loaning of Lukaku and Torres being kept.

I know a bit ironic questioning Chelsea's striking option when currently we only have 1 we really trust but given there squad depth in defence in midfield and defence the CF position is there weakest and really needed proper strenghtening. I'd have Giroud over Torres anyday.

Anyways enough Chelsea talk , this is a good read

we signed podolski. mertz, girud and cazola whilst RVP was still an arsenal player.

We did actually show ambition but he ****ed off.
