Doris the Tea Lady is so good at her job that I believe her wages are around £143m per year. The rest of the players, coaching and backroom staff do it out of a love for Arsenal
We signed the Germany National team's physio just before the World Cup started. Or fitness coach, whatever he is. Either way, it's meant to cut down on injuries.
Didn't spot that, thanks. A fitness coach rather than a physio, but specifically brought in for conditioning and trying to reduce players injuries. Let's hope we don't see as many injuries this season, we've been utterly plagued with them over the last few years.
perhaps he has been brought in to work with all the world cup winning Germans we will have in our team [Ozil, BFG, Pod, Khedira, Bender, Gnarby]
Probably the best signing Arsenal have made in the last 10 years. You guys would have had at least one more title since 2004 if you hadnt managed to be so f**king injured every season. Its becoming the norm. Arsenal show good form and are in the top 3 till February, then one or more of Ramsey, Walcott, RVP (when he was there), Wilshere etc get injured and you are playing reserve players in big games and scrape top 4. I honestly hope that doesnt happen this season, because if you can add players like Sanchez to your squad and keep the existing players fit, then you will be able to stay in the title race...and I think its gonna be on hell of an awesome race next season.
Utd linked to a move for hummels for 16m. Surely worth making an offer and trying to tempt him? Especially if we end up selling the verminator.
Klopp has called the stories "utter garbage". Apparently Hummels and Reus are going nowhere this season. I love Dortmund.
I really don't think he would work for us. Mertesacker is our current best defender so he'd have to go next to Hummels and that would leave us with a CB pairing with absolutely zero pace! Hummels is absolute quality though so just hope he doesn't go to anyone in the premier league.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...s-mats-hummels-deal-rubbished-by-jurgen-klopp "Both will stay here this season," said Klopp. "There is no tendency they'd want to be elsewhere. Did they also say €20m? When papers mention such numbers you know it's garbage." A direct quote so its probably authentic. None of this, it is believed, sources claim, it is understood...BS.
Christ I just had a brief look at the Liverpool forum. That Astro lad is proper special. They have a few 'tards, as do all forums, but him... good lord.
So,it looks like another season of that incompetent French bottler smashing balls wide of the posts. FFS Wenger.
Hummels would be a stellar signing. As good as Kos and Mert are he's better than either of them. Would love him at Arsenal. Can't see Dortmund selling their captain though.
