Not been on this thread for a day and half, and there's 20+ pages to read. **** that. Has anything of note happened? How goes our efforts to sign Leon Britton?
and then sold Ronaldo, Messi and De Gea re-signed - Huddlestone, Elmo and Jelavic 2 loanee's form Arse (another defensiv midfielder & a forward who's not scored in professional leagues)... & another defender from somewhere ... though luckily no attacking midfielder's, young hungry forwards with a goal scoring pedigree ... & back up /lead keeper ...
The longer this Odubajo saga continues the more I believe the 21 days rumour. Bournemouth agreed a fee for Tomlin today and he has already agreed terms, passed a medical and been announced as a player.
I went to school with Shaun Maloney. He was a good defender in our school team (his dad owned the chippy on Wold Road and drove a nice Jag). I think he's 45 this October which is knocking on a bit for a new signing.
Looking through this post it looks like Sydney tiger has gotten so obsessed with trying to prove his point that he's lost all sense of common sense. Lampard Gerrard Pirlo Dempsey Kaka Villa Keane There are some very good players in the MLS and the league is very underrated. Don't get me wrong it isn't one of the best leagues in the world but there are some decent players in that league that a lot of people haven't heard of before in the mainstream. Turning your nose up at players from the MLS purely because of an outdated conception is stupid. MLS sides have beaten Premier League sides. I find it offensive that anyone can questions Pirlo.
Akpom's already started scoring. He's even talking about them! http://news.arseblog.com/2015/08/ak...gnews (Arseblog News - the Arsenal news site)
