Wasn't he wanted at Blackburn? I thought he was a first team player and club captain at a side considerably higher than West Ham in the league.

He hasn't really played much for Sevilla this season, he's been behind Kanoute and Fabiano in the first team. It's a suprising one as West ham seem to have a lot of strikers, i would have thought if they were going to bring another one in it would be someone with experience of fighting relegation, not a 23 year old Spaniard who has been sitting on the bench all season.

As I said I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, seeing as it's been two seasons since we had a right back (Mears and Paintsall aside), although I did think it strange that he chose us over Liverpool, mainly as I remember him saying that he supported them as a child so :shrug:

Also when you look at the two clubs, they are poles apart, yes we might be struggling at the moment but I don't remember Blackburn having two 10 million plus bids turned down in this window

Ah, so you didn't see the game then.

Still, at least you'll have something to remember this season with :D
Na I think not, we beat United yesterday comfortably as we played to the whistle not for a draw.

And of course United have something to remember this season by, remind again what Cup are they still in, oh yeah the FA Cup until Pompey put an end to that.

:D

And unlike the glory hunting United Fans yes I did see the game as I was there at the Emirates.

:D

All three still talk to all other reporters and if you actually watched the match he talked to sky afterwards. If you have bothered to read any report of the match you will see comments made by Ferguson.
Well sorry, don’t tar us all with the same lame brush and if the documentaries were full of rubbish then they have no reason not to front up to the reporters if they have nothing to hide.

Although Sir Alex is probably too busy joining the fight to save Burberry in Wales as his Chav squad will have nothing fashionable to dress in.

No, Liverpool beat the Champions on Saturday - seems there's only one team that can win away at Anfield this season. Actually, make that two, Arsenal and Arsenal Reserves.

If by some miracle Man Utd had actually won the league recently, you'd be calling them 'champions' all season, United Boys. Give Chelsea that respect (and no more, they don't deserve it and are going to implode - what a shame they gave us Gallas and £5m for that **** Ashley Cole, who I note failed to do his job and close down that other **** Pennant on Saturday. Kerching, chalk another one up for Arsene).

As for overpriced players, our back four cost
Clichy - £250,000
Senderos - £1.3m
Toure - probably about £250,000
Eboue - £1.3m

Seems a pretty good deal, really, compared with Oops-There-Goes-The-Ball Rio Ferdinand.

fair play to Arsenal they didn't give up and we surrendered the ball to them too easily all the time

says alot about us that we prefer 35 yo Larsson to Saha up front and that great signing Park couldn't even make the bench
:tu: Love the park comment and exactly my point they played to the whistle and deserved what they got a win not trying to cling on to the point.

Sugar coat it any way you like, Arsenal won nothing last year.

Ooh the bitterness is strong in you. :D

As you say again a nothing cup and coming second gets you nowhere. :D

Last season proves nothing as you lost more home games but were better away from home and scraped two more draws at home. :)

Not many teams can say we put an end to Liverpools home games at Anfield with the first team and the reserve team and imposed their heaviest defeat for over 77 years.

When was the last time Arsenal beat United in a Premiership game prior to this season?

I will tell you and save you the bother, 2001 - 2002 season.
Five seasons eh !! ....... the pent up frustration is understandable ;)

Perhaps hire Shilpa as a "healing expert" to balance things out? ;)

and hire Jade as "motivational psychologist"?

On the current topic, isn't he the guy that has knocked Arsenal out of the Champions league on two occasions? :)

He actually has a good scoring record at all the clubs he has been at, he has played in the top division of six countries now so he has the experiance.

Actually, I looked him up on Wikipedia earlier, and he averages a goal every 2½ games (whereas Baros is every 3½), so he's got to do us a favour (if he gets the supply, admittedly).

As for Young, I have to say that I can't believe he's worth nearly 10million, but O'Neill is allegedly going for him and Carew as a new front line, so I'm going to wait until they've played a few games before I really pass comment :)

He seems to work best when played alone up front IIRC, so that should fit right in with your current tactics ;)

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
West Ham are trying to bring a lot of players in - Link

I think Upson is a good player but bringing in so many new players in a short space of time might not be the best thing for West Ham. Just buying more and more players won't help in my opinion, the current players have shown they are good enough last season so it's just going to disrupt the team, i don't think these new players are going to change West ham's position that much to be honest.

I don't know why we bought Davenport, Spurs must be laughing about that one, Upson is quality and he is exactly the type of player we should be signing and Boa Morte and Neill are quality, if over priced.

The thing about everyone of them is that they are leaders, they'll stand up when the going gets tough and not shirk from it, that has been the problem this season and if these players coming in disrupts the team then good, shape up or ship out

Some one told me earlier that Kapo is a similar sort of player to Ashton, not as good obviously, so that probably means young Dean is still some way short of playing again

Been confirmed now - Link

£9.65 million is a lot of money for a 21 year old who has not got much experiance of playing in the premiership. He has, according to O'Neill and Boothroyd, enormous potential and O'Neill doesn't normally get much wrong so will be intersting to find out how he does.

I doubt it will happen, most teams will spend the extra money on improving their squad in an attempt to increase their chances of winning something, which should bring bigger crowds if it works.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
ok it was only Wycombe last night but I was quite impressed with Sheva.. player with a bit more pace and giving him balls to run onto seemed to suit him better

with a game against Forest at the weekend he should be able to build on that and have confidence for the next league game

Russ 24-01-2007 12:53
Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
Shev is fast becoming the Andy Cole of the 21st centuary - he couldn't hit a cow's @rse with a banjo and spawned new footballing terms, such as "He just Cole'd it over the bar".

They always said about Cole he was guaranteed to score the last goal in a 4-nil win.

What was the score last night?

gazzae 24-01-2007 13:13
Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
Is that Andy Cole the same Andy Cole who is number 2 in all time premiership goal scoring?

Russ 24-01-2007 13:15
Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
Yeah but when he joined United it took him ages to get going.

gazzae 24-01-2007 13:28
Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
Nah that was the season after he joined.

He knocked plenty in when he signed in Jan the season before, including 5 when we beat Ipswich 9-0

Yorke and Cole in 99 season doubt there has been a better partnership

That's because Sir Alex signed probably the best natural goalscorer in the league and tried to turn him into a link up player as well which wasn't his game. Fair play trying to improve that and make him into a better player but not at the detriment of the attributes you sign him for.

sherer 24-01-2007 13:35
Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
that seems to be part of the problem with Sheva he was signed by RA and they never planned how he was going to fit into the team and what he was going to do

Cole's partnership with Yorke was legendary but before they played together Cole just could not find the net.

Apart from finishing top scorer in the league the season before Yorke's arrival.

Do I sense in the 2007/2008 Thread, faithfull Russ will be Arsenal supporter. :D

Seriously though I agree how the hell can we send the reserves out and whip Spurs and even score one of their goals for them and falter on easy games with the first team.

If we won what we should have with the first team we would have the title in the bag.

Whilst we are on the soccerbase them this has to get a mention as a whooping at Anfied with the reserves out - http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=506628

Well yes, you're keeping in with tradition I suppose - had Arsenal lost then we wouldn't hear from you til their next win.

No, what I mean is games like this aren't fair on Arsenal fans - it gives you guys false hope. It only serves to give you the impression that your team will actually acheive something this season, and I really will feel for you when you end up a nice fourth position in the league, and yet again your hopes of a decent season will be dashed.

Except that we've been winning rather a lot recently, and I've not posted in here for ages. Face it, you were looking forward to having a go at 2-0, just as you were at 0-1 last Sunday, and now you can't and you're frustrated. Altogether now, ahhhhh. Don't count your chickens and don't count the Arsenal out until the last minute, we're younger, fitter and more hungry.

Anyway, now you know how Bayern Munich felt. What goes around...

No, you're well known for posting about how wonderful your team are when they win but when they lose, you're nowhere to be found - you've been doing it for years on CF mate - trust me, I'm not the only one to notice. But that's ok, they even brought out a song for supporters like that - "you only sing when you're winning" etc

That's a misconception, Man U were already down regardless of what happened in that game, because results went against us.

Personally i think that is a good idea, it supposed to be the 'Champions' league not the champions plus a few others league.

He also wants to introduce another two linesman to each match making the total four which i cannot see working because what happens if they disagree over a decision?

I think Johansson has the better ideas such as having salary caps and limiting the number of foreign players in a team to 3, which would screw Arsenal over totally :)

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
just to say there is only one King and that is Denis Law

not sure how it would work but i've said before in a game with as much money involved as football it is a bit stupid that we only have 2 linesmen

not sure if they could bring that in as wouldn't the IFAB have to authorise a change in the laws

nice to see someone stand up against the G14 too

Two ridiculous decisions today in the match between United and Portsmouth, there seems to be more and more poor decisions about ball's being over the goal line so maybe it's time for technology to be used. Luckily they didn't affect the outcome of the game thanks to Rooney with a Cantona-esque goal :D

Agreed :tu: That's the best i think he has scored with the one today a close second. It's just the way he was arguing with the ref and just stopped to smash it in, it was if he just said to him 'hang on a minute, i've just gotta do this' :rofl:

Ronaldo not for sale, says Gill

Quote:
The 21-year-old has been linked with a move to Real Madrid but Gill told BBC Five Live's Sportsweek that a £35m bid would be "turned down straightaway". "There is no point having £35m, £40m or £45m if we can't replace that talent. At 21, Ronaldo has had a great season and we believe the best is yet to come."
Gill said any offer would have to go to the club's owners, the Glazer family, for consideration - but is adamant it would be rejected.
"If I put it to them it would be a very short call," he explained. "If the manager says 'no sale' then they go along with it without a doubt.
