Yes, they have done well, but Reading have not turned up at all tonight.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

They can't defend for toffee.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Reading are being stopped in my opinion. im not just saying that being biased.

I wonder how long it will be until Cazorla delays signing a new contract? :)

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

he'll be 30 when his current contracts up :p:

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

He hasn't signed one for 4 months now.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Haha...it was a joke! :p:

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

You're not signing him. Don't think we're not on to you and your 'plan'.


Please don't sign him.


Please. :(

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Really need a defensive midfielder IMO.

new Arsenal can be tweaked. Old Arsenal sucks. Please Wenger.

isnt it nice to have Shadow on tonight :rolleyes:

The one thing with Arsenal is you never know what you are going to get one week to the next.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Viera? I don't know to be honest. M'Vila seems like he was a bullet dodged. There are a few names going around but from Spain and Holland such as Strootman.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Fellaini (not likely though hey) theres Moussa Sissoko from Toulouse, not seen Sissoko but people saying hes a powerhouse. Capoues there too I think.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I can, I thought it when he was at Southampton and nothing in subsequent years has changed my opinion.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

should be interesting to see how he gets on given a run of games.

I've written up something on my blog for the first time > http://prolificafc.wordpress.com/201...ut-enhance-it/

Loic Remy on his way to geordie land?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...le-United.html

Just about everywhere else reporting it also. Club have said it has nothing to with the Demba Ba saga but that remains to be seen.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

What are your thoughts on him adzii?.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

has remy scored any more than one goal this season? and i thought the fans there were on his back because of his form...at least i think i heard that

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Remy has been looked at for years by so many clubs but they've never gone through with it. It is be interesting to see what happens. He has a heart condition which had worried some but not enough to fail a medical.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Arsenal need Theo Walcott to stay - Sol Campbell

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20772316

Indeed if he goes what does that say yet again about Arsenal ambition.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

But Theo isn't worth what he is asking for each week. I wouldn't even give him 10% of his current contract, he is selfish, over rated and as far as I'm concerned can leave Arsenal for a club who is willing to pay him to sit on the bench week in week out.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

None of all actually know what his wage demands are and as we know in all contract negotiations there is a degree of brinkmanship on both sides.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

He is worth around £70,000-80,000 I guess, but not £100,000.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Yes l don't disagree with that as Liverpool are paying Daniel Sturridge around £60,000 and is he that much better then Sturridge.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Tito Vilanova has reportedly had a re-occurrence of his cancer and Barcelona are, again according only to rumours, looking for a replacement for the rest of the season. Guardiola returning?

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

5 Arsenal players have signed new contracts! All British.

Biggest one is Wilshere who has signed a 5 year deal from the end of this season. (so 5 years starting this Summer). Then we also added Ox, Ramsey, Gibbs and Jenkinson. Arsenal's new team going forward will be based on this British core it seems with Wenger wanting Walcott to join them.

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-arc...-new-contracts

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/12/10.jpg

Very pleased. Wilshere is an obvious asset and 5 years is a great signing. He won't be leaving on a free whatever happens. Jenkinson could be very good and England's first choice right back in the future, his progress has been amazing in just one year. Think how much of the future England team will have grown up, trained and played together!

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I don't know what your talking about oops:

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Now we need Walcott to sign and Luke Shaw to come to us.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Luke Shaw is rubbish, you don't want him!

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Oh really? :( Oh well I guess we cou....wait a moment..:D

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Interesting article HERE re his contract position etc.

The other difference now is we don't need your money. :)

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

big big money spent on those 5 btw.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I don't think a single one of them is near £100,000k. Hardly big, big money...:erm:

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

i'm not sure whether you live in cuckoo land but 50k is a vast amount of cash. i'm not agueing against giving them the contracts im just saying its a vast amount of cash thats been spent here, total.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Yes thenry. I know £50,000 is a lot of money. In the context of upper Premiership football wages it is not a lot of money. 'Big Big money' is self-evident whenever we talk about football, I thought you meant big and big as in unusual.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

if you throw efficiency in it then its a lot. regardless of elite, i do hope the contracts are not simple 50odd k pw and instead have clauses in for the total to amount to that.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Just to comment on the news Den linked earlier about the Zenit St Petersburg fans wanting black and gay players excluded.

Congratulations to all members of FIFA that voted this country to host a World Cup, give yourselves a massive pat on the back and say job well done. Let's let Serbia host a World cup whilst you're at it Mr Blatter. Oh wait, we gave that World cup to a country that imprisons homosexuals.

Sarcasm indeed to reflect on two truly unbelievable choices from the walking moneybags at FIFA.

:dunce:

Most controversial World Cup in history guaranteed and it won't be the football that's controversial.

Walcott gets his chance to be a striker and signs a new contract and we get a left back and a holding midfielder as well as Zaha.
