    Of course I don't, I pay someone else to do that. Fortunately he is obviously more intelligent than you.

  5. I am glad you pay someone else to do it. I would be genuinely concerned for you - and your son - if you got anywhere near the numbers <laugh>

  6. I think HAzard has said it will be City, Utd or Chelsea...

    Any idea of excitement at this early stage - with the 1 reserve signing and only 1 of the 10 to unload actually gone, is ridiculous.

  8. I think Podoloski will play - as opposed to being a reserve - but I take your point. It seems the the memory of just how poor we were during last season is fading and they excuses are flowing freely.

    Do we really need him too? Just another Mercenary not to mention the fact we have Podolski, Oxo, Gervihno, Theo, and Ryo

  10. Agreed - dont want him - he has been whoring himself around for too long. Dont want Vertonghen either.

    I don't want any contract whores. We're a football club, not an east-end pimp.

    We also have Joel Campbell next season so we're not short of attacking options unless RVP does walk, I even hear strong word that we're in for Giroud who may/may not be good enough, but I just wonder why we're loading up at striker in the way we are - Bendtner and Chamakh must be moved on before we look at more attacking signings.
    M'Vila we hear is a done deal, chuck Pod in there and a fully fit Jack and there's plenty of reasons to be optimistic for next season.

    Not likely to happen anyway, and personally I agree that he seems too cocky so early in his career.


    But if it did happen, with him or any other big-name signing, it would show to players like RVP that we have the ambition, no matter how they behave in the transfer season.

    We're all talking about offloading Bendtner and Chamakh, what about Park? The guy is a mystery.

    I've heard people also wanting Gervinho to be offloaded but I don't see AW getting rid of anyone he's only had at the club for 9 months.
    I may be a staunch AW defender, but even I recognise that he is one of the most painfully stubborn managers ever and is unlikely to desert players he placed great trust in less than a year ago....

    Why would we want to get rid of Gervihno?

    there ia a time and a place for excitement- maybe a few weeks/days prior to kicking off the new season.
    Right now all we can do is have a sense of anticipation that Wenger will make changes. Buys and sales.
    We have come to experience frustration with him and transfer dealings, but I do hope he is learning loyalty is often misplaced.
    Worse - his policy of paying over the odds to retain/attract youth has now backfired and we are left high and dry with mediocre playing staff.
    Get the wallet out, and sharpen the axe.

    A few say that he's not good enough, I'm not entirely convinced if I'm honest.
    I think he brings plenty and offers something different but the ANC wouldn't have helped him settle into a new club last season, he could be a confidence player....

    I'm telling you - Gervinho just needs a couple of goals and he will be electric ! The Guy can go past people for fun, but his confidence really needs a shot in the arm.
    I think he could have a big season coming up this year.
