Or maybe it is for the fans..to show something is being done

Supporting a player such as Suarez is all very good but the club officials have stepped over line and now are lost in their own ways.

Do you work for the Daily Mail young thenry?.

Welcome to my world!

We need to win 4 out of our next 5 to be sure of a 3rd place finish. 2 games is enough to find ourselves in 5th! After the season we've had 3rd would be incredible, 4th great. However I am bricking it that we will blow it. Its the hope I can't stand.

At least it seems City aren't giving up, need them to take points off Newcastle.

Win against Wigan and Chelsea and I think top 4 would be safe.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will this summer look to lure Ajax pair Jan Vertonghen & Christian Eriksen after being assured by his board that funds will be made available to him in order to launch a significant bid for the duo.

Great signings imo, caught offside is notoriously unreliable though...

Jan Vertonghen has been widely reported but i dont think Christian Eriksen will join

Perhaps you will dig into your deep pockets in order to keep them.

Perhaps I already have?

then you'll know that Vertonghen has sent out a come and get me plea and Arsenal will begin talks this month with Ajax regarding the transfer fee. his contracts up next summer so the likelyhood of an inflated fee are extremely slim especially when dealing with Arsenal.

danielf what positions does he play? ive read that he can play across the backline and in the holding midfield role. he's possibily going to be slotted in at leftback if he joins Arsenal.. will he do well there?

I couldn't tell you to be honest. I kind of follow the league from a distance, but I've been away too long. I was listening to radio coverage of Ajax-PSV the other day, and it confused the hell out of me, as Aisatti who used to play for PSV was playing for Ajax...

Vertonghen is a ball playing centre-half with good technical skills and a decent turn of pace. Not sure how he would fare in the premiership against teams who base their game on lumping it into the box. Similar type of player to Chivu so perhaps he could slot in well at left back.
