Today's Result, Sunderland and Signings!

First Off, I'm thrilled with a Bore Draw today. Although we only got a point we have to remember it's against Arsenal and fair enough they are not the side they were, but 2 Years Ago we would be getting beat 3-0 off that side, so look at the positives.

I think Sunderland should be a corker, don't think it's too important other than pride although if we can nab a win, or a draw I would be happy! 2 from 2 Fairly tough games would suit me, then we would look to beat Scunthorpe and Fulham (I believe)

It looks like Pieters will be Left-Back thankfully as I was un-impressed with Ryan Taylor, so hopefully we can seal that up this weekend. As for a Striker, hopefully Bendtner is free to move now, as we have played Arsenal and I believe thats why they were reluctant to sell.

Please feel free to Comment!

 

Yeah, Pieters will be a very good signing IMO. Good young left-back!

Mmm.. not too sure about Bendtner to be honest. :/

 

I think Raylor coped but deffo need a LB and ST in.

 

I'd be amazed if we didn't have a new LB by next weekend. Pieters will fit the bill nicely. And it sounds promising. Taylor is a decent squad player, but he's an average RB and a bad LB (but better than Perch, thank God for his injury).

With a new LB I think we can take at least a point next week.

As for Bendtner, he's not the type of striker we need and I'm sure Wenger will charge us a few million quid more after the 'injustice' they suffered this evening (funny how he didn't want to speak much about Song).

 

Think Pieters will come in this weekend, as for Bendtner him and an On-Form Demba Ba would be lethal. Obertan and Barton on the Wings, with Yohan and Cheick in the middle! Collocinni and Pieters in defence, with Tim Krul who also played outstanding!

 

Yeahhh, think Pieters in as I said, (They promised a Left Back for Sunderland Game) and a Striker, which they promised before the end of the market!

 

Think Krul will cement the #1 spot in the next few games, even when Harper is fit. He's really grown into it in the least year since Harper got injured at Goodison. Yes he still looks a bit dodgy at times coming for crosses but that will improve with experience. And he's a great instinctive shot stopper.

 

Doubted Krul last season, but fully behind him after that! What about that save from Walcotts shot!

 

I think we can forgive Kruls little drop of the ball(unless many people missed at as I have not seen anyone mention it haha) against Arsenal. He looked great part from that one moment.

 

Our number 9 awaits I'm predicting we will not have been linked with him just like all our signings they come out of the blue

 

Yeah slipped a bit didn't he! With RvP waiting just ahead too. Quickly recovered though, so no qualms there. Nothing on Forster's drop against Leeds. Pre-season, mind, but you get the picture.
Hopefully won't happen again!

 

What was wrong with Marv

 

Short of match fitness, I heard. Understandable, considering he's been out for a while. Could be back for the Mackems though, not heard anything else on it.

 

I suspect he won't play until the scunny match

 

Yea an LB before next week looks like its happening but the Sriker the problem. who would you have? more important who will come? I think we need a link up player
that we missed with Arsnal (ben arfa?) we defo need pace upfront a player like Hooper, Defoe, or erdring somting in that mould!!!

 

I'd play Obertan and Best

 

I can't see Arsenal being too keen on doing business with us after yesterday. I don't think our club is very popular down there at the minute.
