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

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

Well up until a few days ago, everyone considered those signings a lack of ambition.

Whether it’s ego or what, I don’t know, but I don’t think Cesc has it in himself to play a deep midfield role at this moment in time. I think he’s got too much to offer offensively, and he knows it. I’d also be wary of it when you consider Wenger moved him forward, and both Del Bosque and Guardiola were happy to play him as far forward as possible… and you’d have to think those guys him pretty damn well.

Anyway, I think that's where Jack's immediate future rests.

Pepe LeFrits · 04-09-2013 10:26AM

Not that it matters!

Err I certainly didn't, especially Santi. Giroud was the biggest unknown quantity of them all and once I saw him in action I knew we had a gem on our hands. I was also delighted that we signed Arteta the previous year.

All I can find is him apologising about his conduct after euro 2012?

Sounds like that coming from RvPs agent, the little ****bag can rot there.

Cristiano Ronaldo - 'The sale of Ozil is very bad news for me,' he said.
'He was the player who best knew my moves in front of goal... I'm angry about Özil leaving.'

Ah sure come join him

Please let us not disappoint ozil, lets match his ambition!

Mickeroo · 04-09-2013 11:38AM

Really brings home what a coup this was when you look at the way the RM fans and the likes of Khedira and Ronaldo have reacted.

it's essential that we add a top class striker to the bunch now.

Madrid have shown once again that they are the biggest clowns in world football.

They make Newcastle look like a well run club

I also think its his best position. He was brilliant in his breakthrough year playing beside Song behind Cesc:

--Wilshere

Song

Fabregas

This season, or at least for the next 2 months I think we'll see:

-Wilshere----Ramsey

Ozil

I think the Wilshere and Ramsey combination can actually work, as its an issue of understanding and positioning, rather than mentality with say Song. They both have good work rates and are willing to put in a tackle, so its more a case of honing their skills or positioning and understanding when to go forward and when to hold. How long that will take remains to be seen but I do believe they have the skillset between them to make that work. I also think its Wilshere's best position by far atm. His dribbling is more effective from deep and he tends to play the 'pre-assist' pass rather than the assist pass, so imo he is more suited to CM than CAM atm. He also can't shoot for balls which never helps when hes at the edge of the box.

Wilshere

Ramsey
---Walcott

Ozil

Cazorla

Giroud

Looks pretty tasty to me.

With options in Poldi, Mozart, OX, Arteta and the Flamster.

I wonder how long my excitement can last because at the moment there is no end in sight

Alfred Borden · 04-09-2013 11:56AM

Got to be Arteta and Ramsey for me in the double pivot. They work best together and Arteta is our most important player, only one that can play that position the way we need. On top of jack not being fully fit and alternating him to regain full fitness and confidence, its a no brainer for me personally. Nice to have these selection problems though.

GavRedKing · 04-09-2013 11:58AM

If Liverpool continue there good start no bid from an EPL side will tempt either party IMO.

Mickeroo · 04-09-2013 11:59AM

Yeah I think Wilshire won't be a nailed on starter at the moment. I think it's no harm really, he's a good option off the bench and he also looks pretty brittle at the moment. I think it could help his development in the long run and take a bit of pressure off him both mentally and physically.

gandalf · 04-09-2013 12:01PM

Sure feck it from reading some of the press Ronaldo looks fairly pissed at Ozil going maybe a cheeky bid in Jan

Could you imagine the meltdown in the united thread if that happened Lol

They won't though. They'll fall apart soon.

If Suarez comes back into the team and start scoring again, which he most likely will, all will be forgiven and there's not a hope they'd sell him to us in january, especially if we're flying high still by then. Doubt the'd sell him to us even if he's rotting on the bench tbh.

To be fair to Liverpool they look quite solid at the moment and if Suarez get's his head together it could give them a huge boost. Add to that the signings of Sakho and Llori. Genuinely think they're a much bigger threat to us this year than Spurs.

Gringo180 · 04-09-2013 12:04PM

The boss has some selection headache in midfield especially when Arteta is back fit. My own opinion is I would start Arteta in the DMF role, he is such a calming influence in that position and has great leadership qualities so he would just get my vote ahead of Ramsey (who I am delighted to see in such good form after me writing the lad off unfairly last season) and Flamini. I would then go with Wilshere and Ozil with Santi out on the left with Walcott on the right. Which would leave us with a back up midfield of;

........................Flamini
...........Ramsey...........Rosicky
Ox...............................................Podolski
