Having Mike Williamson next to him or having Verm, Kos or Mertesacker. I think he'll be good dude!

Debuchy's crossing was superb, but it's not easy hitting one man in the box. I think he'll prove his worth at Arsenal where he'll get a lot more support. See my other comment, I think you are right though - his crossing probably didn't show as we had 0 movement and 0 bodies in the box. His crossing would have been immense for Andy Carroll, Leon Best and Kevin Nolan mind you. Imagine Enrique and Debuchy whipping crosses in man.

nice logo tho.

Then again the king has no movement in box and an arsenal of centre mids all over the pitch

Debuchy's final ball wasn't much to write home about either, to me, it was his movement forward and good all around play that made him so dangerous. Defenses or midfields had to constantly worry about him bombing forward or sneaking forward. Attacks didn't stop when he received the ball as he generally made the right choice.

People just expect a guy who has not been given much a pattern or time of day to play in his best position to just go out there and dominate when we have a p*ss poor manager giving f*** all worth of instruction or movement. He's been so out of form due to lack of chance and belief from his boss. He spends all summer training apparently and he's stuck working out with the youth kids this week. This type of stuff has psychological harm on a players confidence. When the king needs a goal he begs Hatem or Marv to work some magic for him and then when they fail, having not been in the team for weeks or being constantly coached out of their styles - he flogs them in the press. Public hanging. Sure Hatem's dedication and weight or Sylvain's lack of showing can lead to criticism, I get that. But we should all know better than to pass judgement on any flair or creative player under Alan Pardew.

Pay fees up front. Rare in football. Glad we push the envelope in such a prudent and maverick way.

His agent should be telling him that, like,

That Belgrade kit has the most unnecessary white box I've ever seen. Based on history we'd have the same template as they if you look at last year. Who knows though. Bilbao Nike kit is lush, of course. Hah.

They'd still piss goals

Puma actually did them well for Arsenal if I'm honest. Do the retail kits come skin tight? I assume not?

Wish he took a penalty (did he?) would have been icing.

Some great posts in here, IMO. Good reading.

And some managers would figure out a way to get Ben Arfa in that team too.

I totally thought this was a joke. Holy fuck howling

How long is the blank firing Cisse out for?

Never happening.

Remy - Ba - Cabella --------Siem--------- That's fucking deadly like

All that stuff can be sorted via email and texts and phone calls. All player needs to do is show up for medical, sign contract and take a few photos.

ESPN announcers said the same (think it was Jon Champion for us) and he mentioned it a few times. Made me cringe/laugh.

Yes, which is what all of us on here we confused about

Well, yeah, I know, didn't think I needed to say that mate.

But we haven't have we, we've sold Debuchy but as it stands an offer for Janmaat hasn't been accepted. Now say we bid and it's turned down, Debuchy gets annouced to Arsenal and we are back to normal pretending to try to sign someone before the window slams shut. Debuchy is likely got everything done but being signed up, may have even signed the contract on his side but not signed by Newcastle who won't sign it until the deal is done for replacement. He jets off for vacation and he prays supremo Lee Charn gets the deal done for Janmaat

This. Scouting should be done in 2 processes right? Scout for future/academy/potential & scout for 1st team, any position, anyone who can upgrade. Yup. Our problem is that we aren't doing it to upgrade and rarely have over the years. I assume Carr has a fucking boat load of players on the docket that get knocked far down the list due to personal ambitions and all that. I think of Carr's role as a deal person who sources real estate deals, and you have a specific criteria, and you my friend, Disco - know exactly what the criteria is.... SO he's hand cuffed essentially. But all jokes aside we just seem to only go after need players to fill gaps. Right back sold? Sign new right back. Striker gone? Sign Striker. All reactionary and cheap.
