Milner Barton Emre Viduka Owen Martins

solano??? Nowhere near being an automatic starter, especially with the likes of Geremi/Beye rumoured to be coming and Milner/Dyer already being here. keepers arent a driving force in a team say like a CM or a CB, so is it not a bit risky having a keeper as a captain?, especially a keeper like Shay who isnt exactly the most commanding.

solano???

Hes as good as Sol Campbell is now and everyone wants him in.

i would like him in, regardless of whether owen or Martins stays, he is a talent and i want sam to buy some young players too. At the moment he seems interested in older players and i think we need some more young talent for the squad, but not for the first team. Rigters and drenthe in and we shall have a very good squad that has fantastic potential with the likes of Krul, Milner, Martins, Edgar, Taylor, LuaLua, Carroll and to an extent players like Barton. I havent seen much of Rigters but ive seen Drenthe play a bit. However we do need other buys first like a proper LB and CB and others, but Rigters and Drenthe would be brilliant if we could get them.

i still think we need more players who have pace than that, duff and milner might be fast in their own right, but we need a super quick winger still

my bad

he is as good as gone

well zog will be going soon, so count him out so we will need some more pacey players.

no because with that 16 million then Wenger will buy a class CF and it wont be some teenager because wenger actually has money to spend this time. If he does get a good enough striker then Arsenal will probably do better than Liverpool. Arsenals young players from last season will have improved alot as most of them now are in their 20's so they may be mature enough to handle the Prem properly, Arsenal will do fine as they have a squad and manager that is far better than anyones outside the top 4.

Given Solano© Taylor Rozenhal Baines Milner Barton New LM (Drenthe maybe) Viduka Owen Martins (If Owen or Martins goes then bring Alfonso Alves in)

get Drenthe in

if owen or martins left id rather get in Alfonso Alves, i would like Gudjohnsen though.

they've never faced the phenomenon that is Royston

But it does, footballers do not last forever, the closer they get to retirement the cheaper they become. This was Arsenal's last chance to get good money for him, they sold at the right time, the fee is a fair one imo. Zidane went to real in 2001 aged 30 for £47 million and was class, and henry isnt as good as zidane but hes certainly up there i think £20 million would have been alot more justifiable. Zidane is 35 now, that would of made him 29 surly? And if you look at when he was born and the day he was transferred, he'd only just turned 29. well 29, but henry is 29 now but almost at 30

aye he is immense

whatever anyone says about his age or injury record Henry is arguably the best all-round player to grace the premiership and 16 million is an absolute steal for Barca considering micahel owen was £17 million for us also for players like henry age doesnt matter but hes only 29 ffs price shouldnt drop because of age

He is not a lost cause, but he isn't going to better Ronaldo. not very many players will be but Quaresma is the next best thing.

not sure how hes a lost cause at 24 either, please explain.

at Valencia, rated highly there, would never leave.

FM is right, indeed FM is right in many things and have much much better players knowledge than almost every football fan. Clubs can appeal for a work permit to be granted, based on the potentiala and ability of the player. Liverpool did appeal for Gonzalez but the ruling didn't go their way. Would be interesting to see if Anderson could play for Manchester United. his appeal, he will attract any brazilians to watch the PL. His sheer commercial value will get him a work permit.

top scoring midfielder in Portugal and most assists consecutively too. he has a brilliant end product his crosses are some the best in Europe and the flashiest. class player why wouldnt anyone want him here, just what we need a bit of spark.

but they weren't even considered good when we got them, solano was but the rest weren't What? So we deliberately bought bad players? I assume SBR thought they were good players. no we bought players that weren't even the best of the bunch when we looked at them, only Gavilan had a decent reputation. and SBR thought many players were good players but he was no kingpin in the transfer market.
