He's an arsehole im sorry. He may have us on sound financial footing but it's hard to appreciate that when his ambition is none existent. Plus basically since he's took over, we have been a laughing stock in world football.

Think the Graham Bailey thing will involve Bent actually

Nah he's been released ( at last!) So he has.

True chemistry at the back is vital but they still do with strengthening that area. They still have Squillaci on their books ffs.

Aint a stats wizard and they probably back your point but imo they can do better than him.

Another CB aswell. Mertesacker man.

This I was unaware of.

they need that, but it's not only what they need by a long chalk Think Wenger has begrudgingly accepted he needs to spend some money.

everyone stopped caring about them after say game 4, they weren't contenders so why bother...higuain will score goals but that's not been their problem for about a decade man They need someone who will not shirk when they're under pressure, in defence and defensive midfield. They're a quality side but they aren't riddled with talent like the other teams up there. A decent goalie won't be a bad idea either. they need to be able to go to stamford bridge, WHL and old trafford and f***ing win...that's where it went wrong for them man aye, places where they're invariably under the most pressure.

Don't think creativity has ever been Arsenals problem. They make loads of chances.

They do need another striker though imo.

Higuain to Arsenal looking very likely.

Isn't this what Llambias and Pardew supposedly preached and it didn't wash with Ashley? Carr was saving him money, can't have envisaged Ashley wanted him out aswell. Shows the damage Kinnear causes.

Yep I noticed that and then they proceeded to proclaim it as spending after we finished 5th.

I think it's possible aye, if not hugely sly at the same time (edited post previous)

give me an example where a multi-billionairre has ever f***ed with one of his multi-million pound business just for s***s and giggles any, in history, that are vaguely comparable Like I say, it's a theory, and none of us on this forum have the faintest clue what is going on or why Ashley does what he does. Of course its plausible that he doesn't fancy paying Pardew whatever he's due if he's sacked so wants him to throw in the towel. If he takes out any of the others whom have mis-performed in the process well then so be it. Losing Carr would be a huge blow though. The players Kinnear recommend are likely to cost more than the ones Carr does.

or another theory, is that there is no plan at all, and he's just hoyed Kinnear in for the fun of it, being old chums that they are. If it is a method to drive Pardew out then it's massively calculated.

Its concerning either way. Ashley has allowed a clearly unstable person to run Newcastle.

Wonder if he actually does hit any clubs? Season's just started, can't imagine him rocking Amnesia's terrace though.

Word. When in Ibiza, don't hit the breakfast buffet too hard. Or just don't eat at all in my experience.

Don't think JFK is that skilled to provide comic distraction. He's a nutter out of his institution.

Virgil Van Dijk to Celtic from Groningen. Decent prospect apparently.

The approach work needs to alter massively if we sign Bent.
