Not best in the world = shit Ah sorry, i forgot you were here. Nobody said he is shit though, did they? I certainly didn't. He's a good player, I just don't think he's a massive upgrade on Kolorov. I don't think Arsenal would be selling one of the best left backs in the world to a direct rival for £7m either. No you didn't say he was shit nor did anyone else. I did cheekily imply that others had said that but they didn't. Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow.

I don't rate him at all. Is there a problem? It's my opinion, i don't mind people disagreeing, that's what this place is all about. Don't laugh though, you will just look a bell-end.

He can't really defend for one thing. Most successful tackles of any defender in the league last year. Apparently most people on here don't rate him that highly. What do you think?

No? Go on then? Only Ashley Cole and Evra are better in this league. That's not bad for what is probably the best league in the world. Cole, evra, enrique, ekotto, and baines are all comfortably better than him. I don't agree that Enrique and Baines are better, very similar standard. Cole and Evra are better, but then i have already said that. Ekotto? I think he's shite and he's a cunt.

You mustn't watch much of Arsenal then. He's a liability. It seems a few people agree with you too. I'm quite baffled TBH. Well i suppose we will see how he does next year. Obviously Mancini fancies him.

I must have missed Clichy becoming shit, interesting.

From which point of view? Obvious why City would want one of the best left backs in the league (world). On the other hand, Arsenal have been victim of a player wanting to leave, as we know there's not alot you can do when you have an unsettled player.

I think Pardew will be well aware of what he can and can't say, without being reminded. The good thing about Pardew is that he sometimes gives info away, so we might hear something new tonight. On the other hand he also talks a fair amount of shite too.

I see the Redknapp interviews in his car have started. Christ.

Na i kind of like him, not sure why. If he played for any other club, i would absolutely despise him though. I think he would stay but i don't think the club want him.

Any word on when we will see training pics?

Do yourself a favour and choose Arsenal Jose. If we get more than what we paid for him we will have done well.

I agree with everything he said TBF and i normally do. He still should not say it though. He won't change.

I've always thought we would wait until another club made their move first anyway, it would have been stupid to move in first. I doubt whether we will pay him 60k a week, we might stump up the 9m.

I like Long, i think he's got that arrogance required to make it in the premiership. Would love to see him play in a better footballing team, see how he fairs. 10m, no chance.

Wigan will want to sell N'Zogbia because they need the money.

Shane Long getting a bit of a hard time on here IMO. Ok he's no Kevin Gameiro but players like Erding hardly set the pulse racing either. Personally, i don't think we will end up with any of these players but from what i've seen of Long he looks a decent player.

Embarrassing is what it is.

Decent signing for them, although it won't make them a better side because of all the players they have lost. Very limited footballer, has a cracking shot on him though (Gibson basically).

I'm sure alot of that was said in anger after Carroll's sale. Hardly news that this forum is knee-jerk at times (most of the time).

We need another striker, as competition for Ba. Regardless of his "type", he needs to be good. After that we will have to depend on Shola and Best. If Best is sold, we should replace him too, i doubt we will though. As i have said before, the press know very little about our transfer activity and are being systematically fed info from the club. They knew nothing of Marveaux, there's nothing to suggest there aren't others going under the radar.

Ben Arfas should have been there too.

Paper running quotes from pardew saying one or two and one in before the tour and maybe 1 after. Depends how literal you want to take the quotes Does he say "one striker and one left sided midfielder" though. Alot of assumptions IMO.
