^^ That's what proudly fails to understand.

Cesc hasn't gone anywhere. . . .yet.

Why are these Barca priks so stuck up?  
they are getting the player that is no longer in dispute, why can't they just behave?

@ coogar.
Have you forgotten how d Glazers have leverage d club with debts upon debts. D gargantuan interest payments consume most of d increased revenues being generated, not to mention d prospect of uefa new financial rules. United can't just shell out dough any how without thinking long-term, especially with FFP coming into effect soon.

D Glazer's aren't like d sheiks at City who will find back channels to pump in investments, neither is British governement going to provide "assistance", like d Spanish sides (Madrid) often get. 38 million pounds transfer fee and a contract worth at least 10 million pound a year, not to factor bonuses, signing on fees, agent fees, and d knock-on effect in future contract negotiations.

Nani will probably be looking to double his reported 70k a week amongst others.

Also Sneijder if signed will most likely have no sell on value. What ever is paid for a transfer and over duration of his contract is most likely a sunk cost. With d debt situation all these things have be considered before signing someone like Sneijder. Lets not forget d club just wrote of d financial waste that was Hargreaves.

debosky:
You said it mate - he is even more important than Wenger to the squad!

montelik:
To be honest for 38 million pounds and a reported 220k a week, I am a little skeptical about d value of signing sneijder. But d honest truth is that we need at least one midfield signing. If we go into d season with only Ando, Carrick & Fletch/Giggs as d main guys, we are taking a big gamble considering their performances and fitness from last season.

These losers no dey shame, How would ay sane person be talking about FA cup when they won the league and got to the CL finals

duduspace:
Make we hear word jare, City didn't win anything for 30+ years but that didn't prevent them stomping on you in the FA cup last season.  

duduspace:
Chei, for every trophyless year Arsene has added about 2 wrinkles to that face. I hope he'll get some Botox after we finally win.

jellyloveb:
^^How can Wenger own the suit when Wenger isn't taller than Kanu.

proudly9ja:
Is this an assumption or something you're sure of?

deboskyports.com understands Sharon is under surveillance for coordinating looting in Manchester earlier this week.

hello kids

mama is here

^^

Not quite an exclusive - deboskysports.com understands Wenger made these comments in Germany to dissuade any thoughts about Per.

reliable sources inform deboskysports.com that this is simply a negotiating tactic to drive down prices. . . we will let you know when any new signings are imminent.

^^ Don't worry - Miguel coming back from the U-19 tournament will be LANS too.

You can cherry pick images, i never said all, I said the majority. last I checked people of African and Africarrabin Origin in the Uk made up 2 % of the UK population, yet they made up 80 % of the rioters?

Ibime:
Scott Danna @ £8m woulf be a good deal for Arsenal.

Gimme Dann over Jagielka anyday.

The ninja is 6ft 4in - Arsenals weakpoint - and is a dogged defender. His price is crashed cos Birmingham need cash immediately with Carso Yeung locked up.

My only grey area is whether Dann is quick enough for Arsenals high-line. Birmingham play such a deep line of defence, I have never seen Dann break into a sprint and couldn't tell you whether he has any pace or not.

debosky:
So Elokobi is now a 'top defender'?

Krayola:
Xavi takes almost all of our indirect freekicks so same applies to him, they help his stats too. Alves and Messi take most of the direct ones. Now you are starting to sound desperate.
I said this . . . "Cesc scores more goals from open play than Xavi and Iniesta combined". Do your research and holla back instead of squatting and dropping words out of your buttocks.

Yes. That's exactly what I said.

Messi has not always scored 50 goals. Before he started putting up such numbers, Xavi and Iniesta were not real goal scoring threats, so your argument goes to shhhit.

They have improved, but are still not known for goal scoring. Xavi has been in the team  since 1998 and to my knowledge his best season as far as goals go is dwarfed by average Cesc seasons. In fact, Xavi and Iniesta's goal numbers over the past 2 seasons (Messi's best yet) are significatly higher than their previous tallies.  Again, do your research and get back to me instead of. . . . . .

Cesc brings qualities we do not already have and will only make us stronger.
You wouldn't know logic it showed up at your door with a big label on forehead reading "LOGIC".

YOu might mean to say Cesc can rack up 30 goals and still win nada, probably because they do not have the quality needed to complement him. A striker to match that tally and they would likely be winning stuff. That's logic. Learn, boy. LEARN!  
All this is opata. Beer parlour analysis from an alcoholic drinking the cheapest stuff on sale.

I didn't say we need Cesc to score 30 goals at Barca. I said being a consistent goal scoring threat is something he brings to our midfield that we do not currently have. With or without Messi, Eto,o, dinho etc, Xavi has never delivered such goal scoring numbers.

Running the midfield of Barca is a lot of pressure, and it is IMO irresponsible to put that on Thiago's shoulders. Cesc has the talent and experience needed to fill Xavi's shoes. Thiago, while extremely talented should be eased into the team. This isn't arsenal.

My point is that having an already successful and talented squad is not a good enough reason to not strengthen. WHen you have injuries or players stop performing, you need replacements of matching quality if you are serious about maintaining your dominance. We did not have adequate replacements for our starters and we paid for it.

None of those players you listed can play Xavi's role. Not even Iniesta. U are just throwing names around but obviously have no understanding of how Barca works. How is Mascherano or ALexis sanchez, or Keita going to replace Xavi for fcuks sake? Are you fukn serious?

Who said signing players guarantees success? I gave an example of a season our top players were unavailable or out of shape and we didn't have adequate replacements and you are talking some next irrelevant shite.

We did not strengthen our midfield, and didn't sign a real striker because we thought we had it all. The 1st time around we lost the title on the last day of the season despite not have Eto'o and Messi for about 5 months each. Had we another quality striker instead of Guddy, or the luxury of taking deco off the pitch and putting Fabregas on, we would have won that title. It wasn't until the season after that that Ronaldinho completely let himself go. . . tho he was already showing signs he wasn't serious anymore. We lost the title that year because we lacked the quality to adequaltely replace our starters. Something that happens at Arsenal year after year.

We need Cesc because he adds quality to an already strong team. There are other players out there we can get but only Cesc knows the system well enough that we can just plug him right in and expect him to perform. We can't do that to Thiago.

Mentioning Keita, Maschrano amd Alexis sanchez as possible Xavi replacements is madness IMO.
God bless you.  

davidylan:
At least that's activity in the transfer market. Better than what we've had to endure the last few yrs.

debosky:
Paying debts instead of strengthening the team that's what. £140m of debt cleared in one fell swoop instead of signing players.

chuckdee4:
Because the club operate in the real world not the circus like City and Chelsea

4llerbuntu:
So the goals one player score is directly proportional to the amount other players score?
ok, when messi scores, the act cripples the other players from scoring?  JEEZ!!

which type of logic is this one?  which rule states that when one player scores the others cannot/will not?
or in your own team, when rooney scores, the other strikers or midfielders simply stop going forward to get into goal scoring positions or score them when presented?

this logic na die. no wonder una dey always write epistle.  person for don tire to even notice that  buried in the multitude of words are these type of "wisdom nuggets"I HAIL!!
