The "Mighty Juggernaut" thread

Consistently good ≠ world class.

 

If Ozil was truly world class Real wouldn't have sold him!

 

Real Madrid and Barcelona are our feeder clubs

 

He was sold to pay for Bale purchase and to wind up Levy

 

Levy had a meltdown of epic proportions over Real selling us Ozil if I remember rightly.

 

Well, he paid for about half of it, I'll agree with you on that...

 

It was marvellous the way that Spurs selling Bale enabled Real to sell Ozil to us. No wonder Levy was hopping mad about that

 

Yes, I think he might well have been. The so called "special relationship" didn't last very long...

Bale wanted to go, but only to Real. Utd reportedly offered more, but Bale was adamant it had to be Real. Levy was left with little choice.

 

To be fair, the situation sucks when your club is on the end of it. We had a similar situation with Barcelona and Fabregas, both parties made no secret of their desire to be reunited and Fabregas was adamant that he was leaving and only for Barca. At least you fleeced Real for Bale, we ended up with a paltry £35m for Fabregas when his market value at the time was probably nearer £50m.

 

Barca have a history of doing stuff like this. Reportedly, the sticking point in our pursuit of Sandro Ramirez is their insistence on a buy back clause.

It's tough for any club when Barca or Real come knocking for one of your top players. In Fabregas' case, it's his home town, the pull would have been even stronger.

 

Maybe you shouldn't have tapped him up from them in the first place, then?

 

It's okay, we've moved on from then. Besides Barca are our feeder club these days, what with the likes of Fabregas, Bellerin and Sanchez ditching them to have the pride of wearing the cannon on their shirts

 

And Cech having the proud duty of picking their ball out of the back of his net repeatedly.

 

How many times has Cech picked a Barca ball out of his net whilst playing for Arsenal ?

 

Something for him to look forward to!

 

Not nearly as many times as he did against Bayern, Olympiakos, Zagreb or Southampton.
Plenty of time for that to change, though.
I'm confident that he can do it.

 

So, as per your statement, how many times has Cech picked a Barca ball out of his net whilst playing for Arsenal ?

 

I didn’t say that he had.
There was no use of past tense in my comment.

It's a very easy question to answer.

 

What part of "I didn't say that he had" are you struggling with?
