I agree Compadres i wonder why he is making things so hard for himself when a few buys would solve the matter everyone and their grandma knows Arsenal has a thin squad God forbid what happens if our Quarter back captain gets injured how do we organize our attack?

Yeah that is why you should note i used the word so far with Berbatov as for Tevez you could see he would come good and all he needed was time besides you got him on a two years loan with option to buy which means after this season you could offload him and not even bother paying 32 mil

You had to cough out 30 mil on the spot for Berbatov so its only normal that the expectations are a little higher and you would honestly not convince me that Berbatov has been up to scratch so far

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=196592.msg3191368#msg3191368 date=1228599637]Tevez would cost 32 million when he signs the dotted lines. . . . . . . .So no difference.
Berbatov has done well this season especially when u consider United have now played 9 teams that finished immediately below them(last season) AWAY from home. It is the fixtures that have been tough for Man Utd not the players.[/quote]Tevez has performed he is very worth 32 mil he is 24 and still has 4 to 5 years in him plus he won y'all the Premiership and the UCL Berba has done neither so i don't think its fair to compare him to Tevez just yet lets see him bang those crucial goals like Carlos did last season?

@kay_pumpin
Its true now what are the fans going to cheer with the way these lads have been playing these days? I would lose my mind if we don't get a winger by January Denilson and Eboue cannot continue at the flanks Diaby is too slow for that position as well and Nasri is too injury-prone with Rosicky and Walcott out for a while we need an alternative plan and buying come January is the only sensible plan i see

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=196592.msg3191180#msg3191180 date=1228596617]Tevez did not score his 2nd goal in the league until after 13 games.
We were all complaining about his slow start but see how he has improved.
Man Utd is a big club. . . . .I don't expect Berbatov to be an instant HIT. . . . .These things take time.[/quote]Tevez did not cost 30 million pounds did he? Berba has been a flop so far everyone and their grandma knows that he has been MIA in all your games against the big 4

I knew y'all would score because Sunderland did not only come to defend but they could not even hold the damn ball and kept hoofing it back to y'all it was a matter of when

Aboutrika did not win the CAF Champions league last season he only won the CAN and wining the CAN is not always a sure bet for becoming CAF African player of the year just ask Dos Santos of Tunisia in 2004

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by A40(op): 9:57pm On Dec 06, 2008
Very patchy game we got the three points and thats all that matters i would not cuss or rave or naah maybe i will because even the fans are getting frustrated the team is not even playing the so-called sexy footie anymore we need a winger come January we simply cannot continue with this Denilson and Eboue on the flank business i mean a winger is supposed to be able to take on defenders and back to Eboue i would firstly blame Wenger for playing this dude out of position that he is being played on the right wing is not bad enough now he decided to move him to the left but with that being said Eboue was just straight up pathetic i think his clowning is becoming very expensive and the boos where not sufficient someone should have thrown him a coin or something i mean what if Wigan had scored with that turnover?Toure was charging forward telling you to move for a potential attack and you don't just stand in his way you give away the ball to a Wigan player to start an attack and he had done that at least three times earlier either failing to control the ball or just giving it away he should shape up or be shipped out ooh these crappy players are not what drew me to Arsenal

[quote author=lai-lai link=topic=148652.msg3190056#msg3190056 date=1228579648]i'll take howard over dirk RIGHT NOW, that was what i said before and thats what i still stand by. . . .
and KG over dirk before, now and in the future
we'll see who was (happier with that careers) and more successful in 15 years time, hit me up then to resume part 2 of d argument . . .

but in my nba video games, i love dirk. . . so reliable, lol[/quote]Yes that is your opinion i ain't sweating you on that at all but as far as i am concerned till he wins the League MVP and drags his lightweight Magic past Detroit and into a Conference Finals not to talk of an NBA Finals like Lebron he is no superman and can in no way be compared to Dirk for all we know there is no guarantee he would be as good in the next 3 or 4 seasons as he is now consistency is the key here
As for your argument on K.G have you realized that your earlier claim that he had less to work with at Minnesota was a total fallacy grin grin K.G has been very lucky to end up in a team like the Celts who had pieces like Pierce and Allen that could complete the puzzle argue from now till next year all Dirk needs is a ring to be at par with K.G

bawomolo:
na wa o, wasn't amare suspended for the decisive game in the spurs series.  your wayo again  cheesy.  european big men are soft except for a few of them. they have no excuse for lousy defense and over dependence on the 3pt shot. ak-47 is an exception who has gotten over his slump.  dirk isn't your average PF but he doesn't belong in the elite.
Are you high on la-la? what happened to Amare in last seasons playoff series? how about 04-05 Conference Finals damn he has not even managed to drag the series to 7 games before so quit comparing him to Warriors like Dirk.Dirk is in the elite only Duncan can be rated as a better PF in the West

bawomolo:
gold dust has value grin, let's even go further. dirk is in the league of josh smith, al horford and not the big boys grin grin.
Try your luck at analysing comedy its obvious Basketball is not your field lol you don't even have any points to push anymore

bawomolo:
you are right about howard lacking range, he can't shoot free throws either.   dirk isn't crap but he has obviously peaked in his career.  howard is going up. dirk is what he is at this point. i would take a promising player in howard.  the mavericks,suns, kings never won a ship with great offense so howard is a better option.
Dirk is still at his peak! unless you have been watching WNBA grin grin a decent PG and a Center is all he needs enough of this your Howard bull crap he wouldn't survive Lebron and the Cavs not to talk of the Celtics he is not all that
Sports › Re: Nba Season '08/09 by A40(m): 3:51pm On Dec 06, 2008
@bawomolo
How many European ballers could defend?was it Divac? can Okur defend? Gasol? Parker? we all know defense is not the strong point of European ballers and if you don't know that then you obviously just started watching ball and now going back to that the entire Dallas franchise was not exactly known for defense till Avery Johnson came to town at a point they where called the Allas Mavericks notice the omission of the D you can't sit there and tell me Dirk's defensive ability has not improved since Avery coached the Mavs

Name 3 players that have dumped 50 on Phoenix in the last 4 years??

I never compared Dirk to Duncan but i can compare him to K.G and please you have yarned enough dust for one day now you are comparing Dirk to David West its obvious you just started watching Basketball

Superman my ass!! let Mr Howard go Superman on Detroit make i see yeye  grin grin

[quote author=lai-lai link=topic=148652.msg3188369#msg3188369 date=1228547642]nowitzki is nowhere near KG, please. . . .KG won the mvp in 2003/2004 with a less impressive supportin cast than dirk had when he won his at minnesota, only a shaq-kobe legacy held them back,  . . . just check out KGs feats before u bring dirk close to him, they aint close at all, it is also worth remeberin that dirk choked on his team against an 8th seed in his supposedly best season

this cavs and celts defence can be so suffocating, i wonder what will be the overall points total of their match-ups[/quote]I don't think you know what you are saying at all!! K.G had a less impressive supporting cast? i laugh in Portuguese are you talking of a team that had Sam Cassell (won the championship back to back with Houston) and Latrell Sprewell at the peak of their powers both guys averaged almost 20 points per game that season.I repeat the ring he won last season is the only thing he has over Dirk

omi tutu:
Come on guys. . . . .

Why y'all dissing Dirk like this.

I will take Nowitzki over Howard, for now that is. Howard is a
better defender, yes, but his advantage on defence cannot
make up for the advantage Dirk has on offence.

Unlike Rasheed for example, Dirk has a legit inside outside game.
Drive past a big man, or post up against smaller guys.

Howard's offensive game can be downright ugly, as the Pistons showed
in the playoffs last season. His hook shots have no polish, and he wasn't
even able to dominate Jason Maxiell  shocked shocked who is almost 5 inches shorter.

Compared with KG, well, I don't think any team would go wrong having either
of the two, although KG would prolly be my choice for his defence, and they are
places on the floor where he is money on the offense.

Chris Bosh, I am liking the more. But he is not the threat from the outside that Dirk
is, neither is he that better a defender.

I mean we could go on and on, but to say Dirk is shyte is far far from the truth.
No mind them jare comparing upstarts like Howard,Bosh and Stoudemire to Dirk only God knows when they started watching their basketball a Stoudemire that cannot lead the star studded Suns past the Spurs if all the Spurs players where on wheel chairs is who they are comparing to Nowitzki,Dirk is an all-rounder Free throw's,3 pt shooting,Driving to the hoop Dirk ain't your average PF

All you peeps talking down on Dirk need to go watch Game 7 of the Western Conference Semi Finals against the Spurs @ San Antonio

[quote author=lai-lai link=topic=148652.msg3188099#msg3188099 date=1228532865]right now, dwight howard is on top of dirk talkin bout big men, howard dominates both ends of the court and are u doubting KG?, don't let people hear abeg, KG will teach dirk A-Z about defendin, that should not even be argued at all at all. . . .but u can't put bosh over dirk yet

all of a sudden this lakers now like risky end games. . . .2 pts win tonight when they were leading with as much as 30 in d same 4th qquarter, can't they see as cavs and celts are playin stifling defence with good offense even as lebron is chillin on d bench, they gats to build d fear and swagga now. . .

23reb21pts for howard, thats like sayin[b] i'm everywhere [/b][/quote]Well we are waiting for him to win his first League MVP when he does that you can rate him over Dirk.I ain't doubting K.G but he had two other all-stars on his team his ring is the only thing he has over Dirk i have never argued that Dirk is the best defensive player sef but i damn sure know he is better offensively than K.G or Dwight Howard
bawomolo dey mention Chris Bosh haha Chris freaking Bosh shocked shocked thats like comparing Zach Randolph to Tim Duncan absolute Ludacris grin grin

As for your lead men thats basketball the larger your lead the easier it is to get complacent but the fact that it was against a shyte Wizard team without Arenas gives room for concern remember Game 4 of the Finals last year when y'all threw a huge lead away
Walahi is it just me or are the Cavs the only hope of ending the Celts reign in the East huh huh

why does a 7 footer play like a marshmallow small forward. that's a mystery that hasn't been solved yet. dwight howard came to the league has a somalian body double but look at him now playing like a big man under the coaching of ewing. shyt happens but it becomes a pattern when it happens regularly. again i don't see nowinzki hustling on defense like KG,howard or tim duncan. cold hard facts is that nowinzki is a regular season wonder.
Are you a clown? don't you watch European Basketball can you compare the build of Howard to Dirk's? Dirk does his defensive bit and be honest Dwight Howard only started playing D this season

Shyte happens but till Dwight Howard makes it past Detroit please don't compare him to Dirk i don't do too much youtube i deal with cold hard facts Mon Frere even Roberto Baggio that dragged Italy to the world cup final went on to miss the deciding penalty so what are you on?
Dude he even had 29 points on the night? greater players have choked in Finals i.e Kobe Bryant but that doesn't mean you should compare upstarts like Howard to him your second comparison does not make any sense Dwight Howard is built like a centaur how won't he have a stronger inside presence
