ponsaelius Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Someone should buy Luis Suarez Ajax, he's always been on fire but I've never seen him linked with a club. Because he's the same case as Alfonso Alves, brilliant in the dutch league but has very little to offer actually, the minute he leaves Ajax he'll be f***ed. Disagree there like. He's 10 times the player Afonso Alves was/is ffs. Great dribbler, skillful on the ball, scores from everywhere and assists for fun aswell. He's only 22 and is Ajax's captain and leading light, aswell as being brilliant for the national team. If you watch him on a regular basis you can see he's a far superior footballer to say Huntelaar or Kuyt. Obviously success out of the Eredivisie is not guarenteed but the potential is certainly there, it wouldn't really be fair to right him off purely because of past exports from Holland. As far as being linked to other clubs, Barca and Chelsea have been linked to him in the last couple of weeks alone. He's certainly well thought of.

Guest kingdawson Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Pandev is one of my favorite players in world football. I'd love us to get him but doubt we can with our wage restrictions. Saying that, i think he's not the sort of player Arsenal need. He likes to drop deep and Arsenal already have a host of players that can do that. Plus him, Vela, Van Persie and Eduardo would be 4 left footed strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Pandev asked for a transfer in the summer and as punishment he hasn't played a game in the Serie A, this season. im not sure how that leads to a contract being ripped up myself restraint of trade, cant not play someone because they want to be transfered. Surely not as any player not getting picked could try & get there contracts canx. It was a bit weird tbh, they said we won't accept a bid of under 19m, but then didn't play him, so really this decision was inevitable, and not the best for a club already in trouble with money and having spend 20m Euro's on Zarate in the summer they could have done with some money, I mean 19m is hardly small change.

GG Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Scott Loach to Aston Villa, £3M + add ons (England caps, top 4 finish etc.). You heard it here first. Really? Strange move, given the IMMENSENESS of Friedel, and Guzan looking superb every time he gets a chance. Is he any good? It's not certain, but someone who claims to be friends with Loach has said it's 'on' (seeing as he's got correct team info etc. all apparently from Scott, I have no reason not to believe it). He's decent, young, big, good shot-stopper and certainly has lots of 'potential'. I find it difficult to believe he's being bought as anything more than back-up/competition for Guzan in preparation for when Friedel eventually retires. He's been very good for us, but we need the money more than anything and he's not been 'unbelievable' (i.e he flaps at crosses and makes mistakes occasionally (he is young)).

That's the Aussie lad FIFA are fucking up? Not of late, not since a few weeks ago, when I read that stuff about the Australian FA practically getting him banned from playing for a year. The daft thing is that FIFA are suggesting his family moved to Britain purely for football reasons, thereby giving a reason to stop his contract, when his father is English, and his mother is Irish in any case. His dad is now saying that when he turns 18 next year and can sign for whoever he wants, he's not going to be playing for Australia, after they way they've treated him. All a bit insane, really.

GG Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Went round hugging the players pre-match, high-fives all round, unusual. Last player off the pitch, also, applauding all sections of the crowd. I like him, but if we get £3M or so, I'm not too displeased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last player off the pitch, also, applauding all sections of the crowd. I like him, but if we get £3M or so, I'm not too displeased. Was directly behind Blackstock's header today, was in all the way but was a brilliant save. Seems very reluctant to come off his line though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 He's shit at collecting crosses/corners, in general, flaps far too much (though Foster was similar). He's basically very similar to Ben Foster (potential to be as good as Foster was when with us aka amazing), actually, except right-footed and without as excellent a range of kicking.
