7...that allows man utd to be included :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

l can understand your point totally TD but its even worse in some of the other leagues as for example Bayern buy all the young German talent whilst Barca and Real purchase all the main Spanish talent and that's just those two of the leagues.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yeah I ummed and arred about whether to include them in it!

---------- Post added at 17:30 ---------- Previous post was at 17:28 ----------

Just because it's that way in those leagues doesn't mean ours has to be the same and the big difference in both those leagues is that the clubs are owned by the fans, with the new epl ffp rules why do clubs even need owners

Lallana in his interview shows utter disrespect for Southampton.:td::td:

Totally classless unlike Rickie.

I wonder if he will seek another move when Liverpool dont get a European place next season......;)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes l cannot see us getting in the top 6 next season as this season was probably a fluke.:Yes:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Who will be top 4?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

1/ Man City
2/ Chelsea
3/ Man Utd

And now i think about it, Arsenal need a decent striker too

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Arsenal need a decent defence too as it was pretty shaky last season as we saw.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I think we all need a better defence

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

We don't seem to have the type of tight and clever defence's that used to be present as there were with Arsenal - AC Milan - Man Utd and Liverpool in the old days.

Arsenal are the one team we know what position they will finish in. Guaranteed 4th every season.

I find this hard to believe (for arsenal)

Former Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o could stay in the Premier League, with Arsenal and Everton both interested in signing the 33-year-old striker. Talksport

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Arsenal should be going out to make a transfer statement but alas Arsene can't resist his cheapies in the transfer market.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

It's going to be two crossed hammers with 1895 at the top in between them and London at the bottom. Obviously the couldn't put east London as it'd confuse foreigners, West ham in east London, still as far as cynical marketing ploys go this is far from the worse, the consultation amongst fans is ongoing.

In other news hammers have agreed terms and medical with nice left back Timothee kolodzkichec, just need to agree the fee now with the club which will probably be around 5 million.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

London West Ham as a name change come the stadium move :D?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Arsenal don't want him.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

No thats not what l heard as he favours Everton apparently.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I want to buy the new West Ham home shirt. Does anyone know when the squad will be confirmed, as I'd like to customise the shirt, but I can't do that until the squad has been confirmed

Another one bites the dust for MU.

Apart from the fact we didn't want him. It even says that in the article if you read it.

This will please those patient gunners fans.

Arsenal bid 24 odd m £ for Sami Khedira. Ozil trying to convince player to join up

---------- Post added at 12:49 ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 ----------

this one doesn't seem to be going away..

Joel Campbell will be given a chance so that rules this out pretty much unless of course Wenger wants Remy as depth upfront. With Bendtner and Park gone Arsenal have Giroud, Sanogo, Pod, Walcott + Sanchez?

Remy talks are just papertalk.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And there are reports that Aaron Cresswell is having a medical at West Ham today as well.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Not seeing much on the striker front given we've got no goalscorer. Pleased to see a potential Cabaye replacement. No clue how the season goes for us.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I hope Remy is in addition to someone else such as Sanchez...

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Apparently Arsenal and Liverpool have both made bids for him with Liverpools bid being higher so lets just see what happens in the coming days.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I'm reading a lot of reports of Di Maria to United being a real possibility. Jorge Mendez is his agent who has a good relationship with United, theres people saying the deal is done and its just waiting for him to get back from the world cup. Madrid want to get rid of him so they can sign Falcao and/or James Rodriguez apparently.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Di Maria would be a excellent signing for MU as he is their type of player.

Falcao from what l hear is already a done deal to RM.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

We won't be signing both, had a bid for Martin Olsen of Norwich rejected earlier to, the club will sign one or the other by the weekend, kolo is the top target and we'll regret not signing him if he slips through the net.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well l am quite happy with this signing today.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28149713

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I reckon Di Maria is PSG bound. And Toni Kroos is already in the bag for RM so theres no need for James Rodriguez according to the media in Spain... http://www.mundodeportivo.com/201407...410682346.html

Mathieu Debuchy has taken NUFC out of his bio

https://www.facebook.com/matdebuchy

& it now seems Arsenal are trying a double swoop

Vidal - not sure
Alexis Sanchez - highly likely a deal will be completed
Luis Gustavo - too big of a release clause
Sami Khedira - possible
Lars Bender - not sure
Morgan Schneiderlin - Southampton will want too much

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Not as confident as you on Sanchez. All we know is Arsenal seem to be interested but so do Liverpool and god knows who else.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Puma.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Juventus are the other big team interested.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Don't think that factors into it. Puma have paid their money already.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Puma now have close ties like that of Man Utd for example where Nike offers new signings packages as part of signing for Man Utd. Its a massive factor. 'Stronger Together' means alot. Puma didn't promise big things for nothing.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Who have Nike helped United sign? I haven't seen sponsors sign players or even pony up additional cash on top of what they did for the contract. I think their thinking is that they already paid their money and now it's time for Arsenal to hit performance targets.

Why didn't Nike help us before? Why would Puma be different? Wouldn't Liverpool's sponsor also help out if this is the why things worked? I haven't seen this theory outside of Twitter....

---------- Post added at 22:37 ---------- Previous post was at 22:34 ----------

PS I do think any official unveiling will wait until the new kit is out. Puma don't want players holding up old Nike kits but I don't think they'll have a influence or role in the signing.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Ask at the next AST meeting. I can't be arsed to explain.

btw performance target clauses get paid when triggered. The big numbers in the press don't get broken down.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

West Ham confirm signing of Aaron Cresswell from Ipswich.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/...st-ham-ipswich

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I think this is a Twitter thing. Not seen a professional outlet or even seen an example of a sponsor getting involved with club transfers.

Yes that's why Arsenal need to meet them,

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I'm pretty sure this was briefly touched on at an AST meeting before. Ask at the next meeting.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I am not going to ask at the next meeting. I have Googled it and cannot find anything...

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Why? There are normally financial city workers there.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Great, we have signed a left back who gets caught out positionally frequently in the championship for up to seven million quid and drop kolo who is potentially the next bale because the fee might have gone up to nine million, we will be kicking ourselves if we don't go back in for him.

Marko vucanic has gone to the UAE, what a waste.

Gus Poyet's son has signed for the hammers

around 8 m £. thats good business.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

BBC North West reporting Sanchez looks to be included in the Liverpool deal.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

it actually reads...

there are other well placed sources that would be all over it if there was any indication Sanchez agreed to a move to Liverpool.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Best not to believe anything written, until the deal is actually done

though if that deal was true, Liverpool would bite their hand for it, never mind suarez :D

Are Man City planning on selling someone ?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Possibly negredo...maybe toure...who knows (not me) :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Selling Negredo would be a mistake. Toures position isn't that of one Sanchez would play in.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You asked who to sell, not position. :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

ok who will Man City sell to allow Sanchez matches ?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Negredo possibly.

But all speculation. As far as I'm concerned, they sell and buy who they want, not my money :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Its not as simple as that bud.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

To be honest City are always a threat. They won't want a top class player going to a rival.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

i don't think they will act just for that reason. If they lose a striker (I mention negredo, as rumours mention him), then they would want a comparable striker.

Equally, they won't sell, unless it suits them.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

isn't it? could you please explain?

---------- Post added at 18:09 ---------- Previous post was at 18:07 ----------

Man City will have to sell Negredo and Dzeko.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

What about Jovetic? That guy was promising but seems to have done naff all.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

There are many clubs bidding for the top players so competition is extremely fierce in the process thus nothing is never as cut and dried as supporters think sometimes.

Depends where it's actually at. So much conflicting information.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Reminds me a little of Higuain. The press in Spain say 35m£ then its dropped to 25m£cash then back to 35m£.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

That's the big question as will Arsenal put the money on the table.

It's also if the player wants to come, Juve are interested as well plus he might be trying to hold the deal up for other clubs in come in.
