Who needs Sneijder when we can get a 15 year old

 

[The Running Man]

especially one who will never play and want to leave like pogba and ravel...

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Agger should be made captain of Liverpool. Seems to be one of the few players that aren't afraid to speak out about how the team are performing. Shame he's so injury prone because he's a fantsatic player when fit.

Despite spending the best part of £30 million on Downing and Adams we still need a left winger and a midfielder in January.

 

[Robi]

SAF, please buy an experienced creative midfielder.

 

[The Running Man]

and a good defensive one who can tackle AND play football!


Oh and to Rotty - you're no fun.

 

[StonedPenguin]

Nottingham Forest are signing Messi and Rooney

 

[jakeke]

Hazard is coming to Arsenal

 

[Tom84]

At worst it's about as credible as talksport

 

[Gilly]

Nottingham Forest are signing Messi and Rooney

:/

 

[Biz.Kid09]

In:
Cerci

Out:
K Toure
Onouha
Bridge
Tevez

I can see another midfielder to come in as well, possibly a loan with Yaya gone for ACON.

 

[Yas786]

Hazard is coming to Arsenal

Wishful thinking jakeke lol...id love to see him sign for us but once word gets out...his valuation will sky rocket and we all know Mr penny pincher Wenger wont splash out on him...i can see him going to Real, City, Chelsea amongst many others lol.

Look at what happened with the Mata situation.

Hearing rumours that Podolski might be on our radar but tbh id like to see Wenger toughen up our defence for a start ie someone like Cahill or Samba would be a good start.

 

[andy@moFo]

Think we need another forward and another very wide right sided winger. Downing has really under performed these past 2/3 games and seems to get lost in games very easily. Also petrified to but his foot into a challenge.

After watching Dyer cause mayhem against us on Saturday, I'd be surprised if his name weren't touted in January.

 

[pingwing]

Liam Ridgewell to Newcastle or West Brom?!?!!? How USELESS are these teams scouts?!?! (or how much are they being payed off by his agent)

Pretty much the most over rated and blindingly average cb/lb iv seen in ages! (did NOTHING when brum turned up to st marys back in september)

Think they are having the naming the wrong player game again and should be looking at Curtis Davis instead who's looked like a really decent defender.

Other than that Southampton to extend the loan of Jos the boss Hooiveld probably and fend off 2.5m bids of Richard Chaplow from Arsenal @_@

 

[andy@moFo]

I think Newcastles scouting system has to be applauded immensely for some of their summer signings. Brilliant, under rated, under valued players who Newcastle took a gamble on.

West Brom have hardly done to badly either.

 

[Rotty]

Oh and to Rotty - you're no fun.

what have I done ?

 

[FC1983]

After watching Dyer cause mayhem against us on Saturday, I'd be surprised if his name weren't touted in January.

That's why I hate transfer windows

 

[HangTime]

Priority for Arsenal is still to buy a DMC as Song will likely be at ACoN for the next two Januarys and Wilshere will also be missing until at least Feb. Would also like to see us sign a precontract agreement with G.Cahill and Berbatov.
