I don't know where you get this idea that I don't want the club to sign good players Dave. Having watched the club buy mostly s*** players, bargains, cheap squad players and fuelling false optimism among supporters, for 30 years, i reckon I know more than most about going down that particular road. This argie may be good, he fills a position we need. Keegan will do a good job, but at the moment my instinct is he will do a good job in spite of the restrictions placed on him, and won't get anywhere near what he did the first time, which is a bit of a damning indictment that you can try and defend if you like. You are such a fraud. You're just trying to cover all the bases! Now your talking about how keegan will do well despite the restrictions placed on him, but will never do as well as he did the first time around! So no matter what happens next season you can continue to peddle your cynical point of view, knowing very well in today's climate Keegan can't really come close to what he did first time around unless we go all Chelsea this summer, which were never going to do anyway.

It will be a hell of a thing if after signing these players it all comes together and we have a storming season. I wonder how those who are so convinced we will be crap will react then? The same thing keeps being said over and over again with no one knowing what the plans for the upcoming season are and how it will all play out. Your pessimistic points have been made a million times over and we have all heard enough. Now it is time to sit tight and let things play out. It is time we created a thread strictly for whinging about Ashley and the club so that those who are suicidal can inspire eacho ther there. I'm tired of opening every thread expecting some interesting news, only to find another repetitive post from Daetihs and his crew. Enough!

I just can't seem to be to be bothered about this. Talented player who could be great, but not sure how far he can get with such a negative attitude. I'm not sure Zoggy is going to be all that great. Have a feeling he might end up being a Boa Morte at the very most.

Says the guy that constantly claimed that Kewell would sign for us. This is a bit rich coming from you isn't it? You and your serial transfer window bunglers. Why didn't Bentley sign yesterday? Capel? Eto'o? Dunne? Poulsen? Where are they? Get real. You and your sorry non DM having club. Your pants.

I doubt Keegan's too concerned about giving you thrills. If you need some excitement go visit Thorpe Park you child.

Probably better to pad up the squad before going for the big money players as at least it means we don't look as desperate for players and so cannot be exploited.

I agree. It's just the way the premiership has become. It's more and more rare for teams of our stature to sign these relative unknowns. I will always give every player a chance though, as it is only fair. As someone mentioned earlier Keegan has good contacts in Liverpool and could have heard great things about the guy. As things stand he is a football player that our staff feel is worthy of signing and that is good enough for me.

Geremi's got the mobility of my great great grandmother and she is no longer with us. If this kids limbs ar eactually in working order I would rather we gave him a chance before writing him off. Just my opinion but I imagine Guthrie would be one of the youngsters who we bring off the bench who should get the odd number of games for us as he continues to develop. Lets not forget we have extra subs this season so we really need to get some subs in too.

Big Mike is such a tease. Told you the signings would start pouring in. Go get em Mikey!

FYP u r so on it blad! kill'd it!

I was going to start a baseless positivity thread, but looking at that it'd be better coming from you. Big Mike is a world class WUM. We'll start rolling in the players shortly.

Prediction ... Zoggy out and Nuri Sahin in. Remember I told you!

swap deal for bendter so we have the attack sorted.. then i would be ecstatic Bendtner is very overrated imo. And Alexandre Song hugely underrated ... We need a young DM to eventually take over from Butt, plus Song can also play at centre back.

Well he won't get more games at Arsenal thats for sure. Would be one of the carling cup crew at the most. Swap deal for Alexandre Song and I'd be ecstatic.

Jol I thought Bentley was signing for you bums yesterday?! Why do you insist on embarrassing yourself this way? Bentley will sign for Villa shortly.

Between today and Sunday I'm expecting at least two signings. Big Mike is just toying with our emotions he's a tease. He said those things yesterday knowing people would be a bit worried and then he will surprise us with a couple of signings. The Barry transfer is holding everything else up this summer I feel. As soon as that goes through, along with Bentley's move then things will certainly start happening. Rangers also need to sign a centre back so Cuellar can finally complete his move also.

Would take him anyday. I know he failed somehow at Arsenal, but I still think he's made for EPL... He's got most of the core attributes, Stength, Pace as well as a good ability on the ball and for at least a season a good eye for goal. However, i would never play him as a striker, he simply is never going to be prolific enough. I think he would make a craking attacking midfielder though, chipping in with enough goals to satisfy the position. You know what though if we play the formation of last season with Baptista and Martins upfront with Owen just behind, then Baptista won't have to be super prolific. The three combined would get enough goals for sure. Baptista also scored 50 goals over two seasons at Seville at one point so he's got it in him to score a lot of goals.

I love Baptista. Keegan will turn him into the next Les Ferdinand.

fascinating ... it is the 'other clubs transfers thread' tbf. nee need for the dig Just having a bit of fun. It's just that from someone who gives us "itk" information about Villa and Eto'o going to Spurs I was quite dissapointed that the only thing he could tell us about today was O'Hara. Huge letdown.

fascinating ...

This might depend on whether we decide to keep Barton at the club or not. If it did come down to it I would much rather have Larsson who is a better and more skilled attacking player. When are the talks taking place regarding Barton's situation anyway? I think I'm leaning towards a clean break from Barton.

Sidwell is a tidy and sturdy player who will keep the ball moving forward with positive distribution. He was raised at Arsenal overall. He didn't fit into the Chelsea workhorse style. Sidwell is a good midfielder who works well in a 4-4-2, couldn't really see where he could have fit into our new system though so not too upset at losing out on him. I'm pulling for you guys to land Bentley over Tottenham and I think your in with a good chance of doing so. You just need to let Barry go pronto so you can use that money on Bentley while Spurs keep offering their second hand rejects and multi year payment plans. Freakin' con artists.

Build them up and then knock them down ... The media's speciality.

Look ... yes everyone is entitled to their view but not every second of everyday where every thread is hijacked by the Ashley bashers and every ridiculous Sunday paper rumour is used as a stick to flog the owner to death. That is my point. As has been said a million times, your point has been made so wait till the end of the window then we can all look back over things and make a fairer assessment. Don't come crawling out of your holes everytime the Bin Laden boys supposedly show more interest or some American tycoons or Saudia Arabia billionaires supposedly turn down Ashleys pleas to take the club off his hands. This causes you all to start wringing your hands and crying your eyes out over our useless cheapskate owner. Very boring and extremely irritating. Howmany times day after day after day ... No Arshavin! The owner sucks. No Turan! The owner sucks! No Gomis! The owner sucks! No Gomez! The owner sucks! Jonas Gutierrez on a free! The owner sucks! Gutierrez only two international caps! The owner sucks! Sidwell to Villa! Why aren't we in for him! Owner sucks! Sidwell to Newcastle! Not good enough! Owner sucks! Then when the more sane amongst us try to calm down this onslaught of repetitive crap they are hailed as the blindly optimistic Ashleyites. What a nerve.

Very cute. But exceedingly stupid. Bloody good impression of you, then. If you've nothing to add then shut up. Take your corny punchlines somewhere else.
