That's decent.

We say that every year.

The boss told them they need to be ruthless.

As far as I know Haidara and Abeid don't need to be registered. Also, including Jonas, Marv, HBA and other players we have no intention of fielding just skews the numbers. Even apart from that comparing our CBs to theirs purely on numbers is absurd. 2 of ours are not good enough, another is (arguably) in decline and the only really decent option we have is getting peddled.

Comparing our squad to Arsenals is just laughable. Demonstrating absolutely no understanding of squad building or depth.

Could probably get Lacazette for 14m. The english transfer market is fucked man.

How many strikers do we bloody want (Cisse, Gouff, Riviere, De Jong, Perez, Armstrong) Considering we will most likely only play with one. We have a big enough squad (more than teams like Arsenal and Everton FFS) Focus should be on getting rid of some of the s*** (Obertan, Jonas) and getting the younger lads some regular good football than signing ANOTHER striker. Cisse can't be relied upon to get us goals at the moment, Gouff is a second left back, Riviere hasn't got a great record and is unproven in the prem, De Jong isn't a striker and Perez and Armstrong are kids. So to answer your question, we want one proven premier league class striker.

Don't really want to think about Ethi touching cloth.

Fucking hell, UV. Pretty much everything after Viana in your first list are dogshit and everything after Xisco in the second are decent. Not doing yourself any favours, son.

I could take offence but omelette you off.

Would have been ace to see him line up against us tomorrow.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

The next guy to make one is going to get battered. Unless it's Flip.

It reads like it was penned by a spastic, other than that, not much. http://replygif.net/thumbnail/859.gif

He means attacking football in the sense that we are attacking football. We attack football in the same way Ben Arfa attacks a double fried chicken burger and fries.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a fuck about a black cat on the shirt?

Vermin. No respect for anyone or anything other than themselves.

We're going to grow our brand by going to a rugby mad country with more sheep than people. Those idiots off to the USA are doing it wrong.

Teams gave Suarez a lot of respect as well which, along with his movement, opened up a lot of space for Sturridge. I can't see Remy doing that for them. I think he'll do well in terms of his own goalscoring but they'll be less effective as a team without Suarez.

Why don't they pull half the squad then? Majority of them are not in shape. Do you know this for a fact and if so, how? Based on the information we have he's an idiot for going back overweight and giving them a stick to hit him with.

Look, Pardew's a cunt and has handled this whole thing horribly but I just don't think HBA is blameless. We've been saying on here for the past 12 - 18 months he looks out of shape so it's not a surprise the club pull him on it even if it's for vindictive reasons.

Bit of positive reinforcement can't hurt though. Like training a puppy.

No doubt. Its all about this. I think he would be shine back here again with the crowd behind him and being back home. Danger is not having a minder for him and that troublesome injury spell. He has had a bad run, but doesn't mean he will always be crocked. Not a risk I would want us to be taking at 15m. Plenty of other options out there surely. Yeah, I can't see Colo letting him stay round his house if he gets in bother Actually think he'd be a decent signing for us. With Big Sho gone we don't have a big man option and with the football we play I think that'd be useful.

You can say Ben Arfa should be looking after himself better without excusing Pardew for mishandling him btw. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
