All New Summer 2008 Transfer Merry Go Round/Rumour Mill

Good lord please chill out typing, one or two lines will usually be enough to say what you wanna say :/

You can't honestly tell me that you don't appreciate the extra scrolling practice that drunkenmaster gives you? I could swear my index finger is now twice as strong as the rest.

Robben went to Chelsea for more money because turncoat **** Kenyon knew exactly what our offer was, then RVN called him a 'stupid little boy' or something similar for being greedy.

Ah, the famous Dutch sense of diplomacy there. He might be right but he's about as subtle as a house brick.
 
Firstly, I seem to be arguing with several ARsenal fans, I don't remember claiming anywhere in my post i was replying to you and you alone.
You quoted him, and then kept saying "you" all the time. How can you not understand that this would make him think you're talking to him? Do you even understand how the English language works? If you wanted to address me, use my name or quote me, it's pretty simple.

Just way way to many people equate good player with the amount he runs or the number of touches on the ball, neither of which have anything remotely to do with how good they are.Fitness does not equal quality. To claim Flamini was out best player last year, when Fabregas plays for us, just shows how shockingly little you know.
Fabregas is always top quality, I'll admit, and there was hardly anything in it, but yes, Flamini was our best player last season, and I honestly can't believe you stupid enough to say he was complete rubbish.

I'm not going to quote the rest of your guff, but your basic argument appears to be "Flamini got too far forwards after the start of the season", which is just rubbish. Yes he pushed up as the season moved on, but that's because him and Fabregas developed an understanding together, and that allowed them to roam more. Cesc also likes to get back and take the ball from defense as that allows him to control the play more. But to then suggest that Flamini never bothered to track back any more is nonsense. I watched the same games as you too, and he was always there, breaking up play, making important (and brilliantly timed) tackles and shoring up the defence. The fact Toure and Gallas could't form a decent understanding was far more detrimental to our season than Flamini.

In fact, since you don't seem to let arguments sway your bizarre opinions, lets try stats. Flamini is a defensive player, so let's rate him on his defensive work eh? Not how many goals he's scored. Of the 8 games we lost last season, try and guess how many Flamini played in near-fully? The answer is one. One whole game.

Also, we conceeded nearly as many goals without Flamini playing as we did with him, which, considering he played a good 75%+ of the season, I think is also kind of telling.

Go on, admit it, you're on a wind-up. You're G14's alternate account aren't you.
 
Ronaldinho turned us down at the last minute because Barcelona was his dream, to follow in the footsteps of Ronaldo, Rivaldo etc... He was as definitely coming to Man Utd, he'd even stated he'd had dreams about 'little red devils' :p.
.

I seem to remember a direct quote from Ronaldinho at the time about the weather in Manchester and its location not being attractive to him
 
Manchester City agree a fee to sign Belgian defender Vincent Kompany, according to German club Hamburg.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed striker David Healy is in Sunderland undergoing a medical with a view to moving to the Stadium of Light.
 
Also Steven Davis has been sold to Rangers.

Shame about Healy if he goes, but i guess Nevland is ahead of him anyway.

Although, wonder if its a loan, rather than a selling, for Healy, although them loaning Cisse means it might not be.
 
Ah, the famous Dutch sense of diplomacy there. He might be right but he's about as subtle as a house brick.

I know, I always found that amusing. I even believe they were on International duty at the time.
The Dutch squads have never been known to be the most harmonious groups though. It's 'part of the charm' I guess ;).
 
Have the people claiming the Gallas/Toure partnership to be bad considered that we conceeded 31 league goals (3 more than Liverpool, 5 more than Chelsea) and 9 CL goals, 5 of those in the semi.

Thats not quite as good as the other top 4 but not bad at all considering we apparently have a poor CB pairing. Those 3 or 5 goals may have been the difference between winning something or not but they also could have come from mistakes in midfield etc or other areas.

I'm flabberghasted that any Arsenal fan has a problem with Toure. Honestly don't know what to say. :confused:

I haven't spoken to many Arsenal fans going nuts over the Silvestre transfer. Experienced (and cheap by the sounds) cover, much needed with our brittle team, but nothing else. Hope its not the signing Wenger has been hinting at but have a feeling it may be.

Me neither. He was at the Swiss game last night, so he might have been looking at that CM bloke.
