muller? Where will he fit in. can't see him in our setup whether as a 4231 or 3421 formation. Tho we cant even get him sef. Hope we wont go for ibra now dat he is free. Let Wenger head no touch go dat side o....

The only reasonable player we can get from Bayern in exchange for Sanchez and cash is Muller.

Lewandosky would have been prefered but Bayern won't let him go.

Ibra? Ala Okija forbid.

jamalnation:
Douglas costa and Kingsley coman should be included in Sanchez deal

Average players.

Get Muller, then sign Mahrez.

It is very clear that you are nothing but a cheap low-life. Your dog needs to be adopted. Bastard!

See this swine. You should be put rather inside that cage. With a senseless brain matter that you've got, I should just call you bingo! Foool!

Nihilist:
James McClean is actually Nothern Irish. He was Born and brought up in Nothern Ireland - That's the part of Ireland that is British. He just plays for the Republic - the part of Ireland that isn't British.

Without going into too much complexity, the fact remains that James McClean refused to recognise a symbol of British National Pride due to perceived injustices

Saudi Players have the right to do just that whether we agree with it or not.

You judge for yourself. Was their attitude ethical? Stop defending wrong. You have no obligation to greet your neighbour, but you do so because you are a rational being.

Greene66:
Once a month.... outside a cage... don't be foolish!!! It's like you didn't read the outside part. Retard!

Same him, said he lost his dogs before. What happened to the previous dogs? My ass..

My dog wouldn't reason as stupidly as you do.

Once and month... Outside a cage...
So what?
Shut your trap scum!

sod09:
costa is available, pple might hate him but he gets the job done especially having ozil and sanchez beside him
but wengay wont see that

Costa?

Shi cin ha!

I laugh in chinese...

Greene66:
Op you are not serious

Don't be silly, he should even bath once a month.

sod09:
Rumour has it Sanchez is close to city move,bad idea from wengay if that happens.
Why not elsewhere

Sanchez has a year with us. He is going no where for now.

Meanwhile he is going to Russia with Chile for Confed. When he returns he will sit with Dick Law for a new deal. If he doesn't sign, then he will go for free after next season.

sod09:
wengay have started again ooo,spy360 go and call ur daddy to order
why will he carry the whole money given to him on a teenager that can lose form under bad company or management. isay lets get ardan, lacazette and a good right back to give bellerin competition. xhaka and rambo combo is working, ardan or wilshere can replace rambo wen he start losing sense. carzola and sacker shd go and rest jo.
welbeck, iwobi ,chambers and campbell shd stay incase of europa or go epl clubs on loan

E be like say you nor know Wenger again o.

Unless an angel whispered to him that Mbappe is going to be like CR7, Wenge will NEVER pay £87m for a teenager.

He may just be distracting top clubs from poaching his secret player.

kokaneprodigy:
Lacazette when u have Europa to offer, we'll have o pay through our nose, and of course that's not our MO.

Giroud > Lacazette

Unless you are buting for future.

EmmGee:
Past its peak?
One or two players are past their peak. but not the squad

75% of that squad have been since 4years when they first won CL.

purplekayc:
just read this online
A wonderful player
But what's with it with African players and collapsing?

I suspect drugs. There are drugs that put pressure on the heart during exercise which may lead to heart failure. What else can we say? My prayers go to his family.

bykebyke:
LOL.....

Zidane>Ferguson then?

I wouldn't say so. Fergie had continous success for many years. Zizou has to sustain his momentum for some years to catch up with Fergie.

Kindly refer to my quote on Tlona1.

TLona1:
Pep won the sextuple in his debut season. Zidane tried it but was stopped by ordinary Celta.

Levels

Yes, but he didn't meet the criteria stated in my post. Remember, these are mere opinions and by no means facts.

This Messi/Ronaldo argument is hugely misunderstood.

In terms of impact, I think as at now Ronaldo has the edge.

But in terms of talent, that is about what a human can do with the ball, it has got to be Messi.

So if you wanna argue, let there be some kind of terms of reference.

bykebyke:
How?

How?


How??

1. He won CL back to back

2. Without having to buy

3. Using a sqaud that is already past its peak.

raumdeuter:
Ronaldo did it for him, Beating Juve Atletico and Bayern isnt the test, waiting for him to prove himself against Stoke Burnley and West Ham

EPL is the final test. But so far, Zidane arguably has proven better than Pep.

Elrony mo mehn!
Long time no yarns.
Happy birthday, may greater things await you.
You will not end up 6th.
You will reach 7th.

Hala hala...

What happened to the heart of Chiellini, the lungs of Barzagli, the liver of Bonucci, and the soul of Buffon?

4 goals yo!

What about you? Or didn't you believe Pep would will the league last year?

Giroud don start again o...

Scoring a hatrick on international duty, benching Mbappe and Lacazette, stealing the show from Griezmann, now how can we sell him?

raumdeuter:
Arsenal was 2nd last season this season 5th
City was 4th last season, this season 3rd

Spot the difference

You cannot class improvements simply based on points or positions. Any improvement should be based on trophys.

What wonder is it that Pep is under scrutiny?
That we are arguing about whether he did well or not is an indicator that performed below par, that he failed.

Eruditor:
Nah, your own question is irresponsible. So why do you consider Poch's season a success even when he did not win anything?

LOL @ objectivity. Is there any difference between Xhaka of August and the one of April/May? Care to tell me what that difference is if it exists?

Based on expectations, one cannot say Poch was a failure. No body expected Tottenham to win the league.

Based on expectations, Pep's season was a failure. Everybody (or didn't you?) thought Pep would win a treble (or at least win something).

raumdeuter:
No improvement?

What was the position and point total under Pellegrini vs under Guardiola

League cup? The tournament others use reserve team for? The worst trophy and waste of time

Honestly I don't see how City improved from last season.

Points?

Arsenal won more points this season than last season. You call that improvement? Well we finished second last season. Now compare.

Eruditor:
This is your own narrative. The squad they inherited was not strong. They were 4th with 66points. Hammered by the top 6 teams and conceded a ton of goals. Getting to the UCL semis just made up for a terrible season.

It was clear they needed marauding fullbacks and another CB. Kompany was out for most of the season - their improvements when he returned is evident. Also, CFC overperformed winning 13 straight games. Notice, after those 13 games, the W and L column between CFC and the rest of the top 4 teams became similar.

Of course, Bravo did not do a good job (but it was clear they needed to improve on Hart). Anybody arguing that fact is just debate-hungry. Also Gab Jesus and Gundögan absence and injuries did not help either. MOST OF THE REST OF THE OTHER PLAYERS ARE STILL ADJUSTING TO PEP's STYLE.

My confidence in him this term is because [s]with early transfers he would have time to work with his players [/s] before the season begins. It also stems from the fact that he is plugging the areas I saw they were clearly deficient in personnel-wise. The last reason is because I believe his way of playing is more impregnable than Mou, Klopp, Poch or Conte's style when his team gets it right.

PS: he trivialized the Carling Cup and fielded his reserves against United at OT. They were never going to win the UCL but they crashed out having tied scores with a Monaco that not only won a Ligue title but got to the semis of the UCL. The only 2 trophies he "failed" in really are the EPL and FA Cup. And he lost in the FA Cup Semis to the eventual winners. Big deal.

The emboldened is an irresponsible statement. What if Pep reached the UCL semis, would you called it a way to managed a failed season? Well Pep's first season was a failure, yet he couldn't manage it.

The over ruled statement, lacks objectivity. Pep was announced 6months before that season ended. He signed 2 players within his first week. Early signing has not convinced me about Pep.

Don't get it twisted, Pep is a great manager but he is yet to prove he is better than the likes of Klopp, Poch, Conte, Mou and Wenger offcourse.

raumdeuter:
which strong squad did he inherit. The strong squad that finished the league 4th with 66 points. The strong team finished level with man utd lvg team that everyone claimed to be a failure

Are you implying that there were no improvements from what Pellegrini achieved?

He inherited a squad, added to them, yet did nothing extra.

No, Pellegrini won the League Cup.

Eruditor:
I told you, there is nothing like more excuses. It is about filling the positions that are left unoccupied. It is not about signing who he "wants". If that were the case he would have gone for Marcelo, De Gea, Messi etc. It is about signing who he needs based on who he has let go. Once those spots are filled, let other managers sign as much as they need to too, he would still win it. That is what I am saying. Quote me.

Last season he signed those he needed,- Bravo, Stones, Sane, Jesus, Gundugan, despite inheriting a strong squad, yet he won nothing. How are we so sure he will win next season?

mikkydera:
. hmmmm...…am just thinking, not necessarily world class but this guy is too raw for arsenal and we have so many of dem in the youths or out on loan. Not even dat sef, his pattern of play contrast greatly with arsenal own. Well, if bought i will keep hoping sha

Remember Holding? £2m.

Van Persie? £2.7m

Aside us, Leicester got Kante for £5m two years ago.

Giroux should stay, Don't you guys want Scorpion Kicks?

And how is that you business? You should focus on getting Rooney some new hair, or treating Ibra's penile dysfunction.
