Chicog Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Well I note Wenger has yet to renew his contract. Perhaps it's so against his principles to spend 60m on a player like Lacazette that he'd rather walk away and let someone else throw money around like confetti (assuming the owner will let him).

Chicog Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Toothless up front. Monreal has had the ball in space about six times but there's no-one to cross it to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want to swap with Leicester but I'm happy for them - I think they'll struggle this year without a very narrow squad of experienced players. We nicked a couple of Basle players in Summer and don't expect to have a problem with them or the Bulgarian Ludogrets. PSG are more beatable than some of our best group opponents in recent years. All the top German teams are tricky now that the Bundesliga is getting more competitive. You guys could struggle with Leverkusen. Moscow is a given difficult choice on adverse climate and hostility - haven't looked to see when and if you and we play in snow and ice. Of course I always feel optimistic at the start of the season - soon turns to poo. No comment on that other stupid little English and Welsh cup; could get interested in watching newbies and reserves if the thing was easy to watch in Thailand at a sensible hour.

Chicog Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I almost felt a twinge of sympathy for Celtic, then I remembered they're ar$eholes. Not bad draw for us, if we buy a striker and a centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Three points off an average Watford side, although we did make it unnecessarily hard on ourselves in parts by drifting off to sleep. Now, sign some bloody players! (Although the Spanish press has us already having signed this Perez feller, just subject to medical). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Only got to my watering hole's TV in Ubon in the 50th minute, courtesy of Thai family "sick buffalo" issues (FIL's eye operation). What the h_ll was that game all about. In the bit I watched we were unremittingly $hite - couldn't connect up and looked a bit hairy at the back. Took the foot way too far off the gas I guess. At one point it even looked like we might surrender a 3 goal lead. How did that striker-less set-up score three goals? I look forward to finding out when the re-cast comes up. Watford looked like a Pulis Stoke at the height of its bad-tempered aggressiveness - I guess we must have irritated them somewhat by putting three past them earlier on! Return of a fit Giroud plus an additional quality forward and CB should solve most of the issues, though Holding looks a good long term buy and Xaka is slowly shaping up. Watford will stay up if their second half was anything to go by. Looked way better than a Sunderland type of team.

Chicog Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Mustafi and Perez in. Chambers on loan to Boro. Wilshere might be going out on loan. Gnabry talking to Bremen, loan or purchase I don't know. No-one wants Debuchy, he's injured and his wages are too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Mustafi looks like the kind of deal we should like. Not sure about Perez - just another sub world class striker? Let's wait and see. Very happy with Xhaka so far (solid and some great long balls) and Holding looks like a find for the future Debuchy/Santos/Chambers/Monreal/Bellerin - 2 out of 5 decent buys in recent years - not a great track record on full backs!

SantiSuk Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Nice to see that the oldies can still get a game if they want to - ref to Flamini joining Palace and Bendtner going to Forest (I don't believe the latter is only 27 as reported in the press - really?). I reckon Palace got a more usable prospect, despite the age difference; there can't be many players who put country before club as effectively as Nicklas. He was never worth the time to bother looking things up about him (hence I haven't checked his age), but my impression was he scored more goals for Denmark than he did for us while at the Emirates. No doubt you can remember a highlight goal for us Chicog - I can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
