Village Idiot Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Aye, I expect us to sign only a CB and a LB next season really. With everybody fit, I think our squad is pretty well stacked upfront. With Alexis and Cesc we have two guys that should be scoring 15+ per season (Cesc will end up with that amount this season for sure) plus what Pedro and Villa already contribute. We have been linked with Silva for the past months, but he's said to cost €30m-€40m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Had a shocker last neet. Mexes was bailing him out all owa the shop. I agree though. Dont agree at all. Had a terrible first half, but was nowhere near needng Mexes to bail him out ffs. Mexes bail no one out, ever, he only bails himself with his stupidity.

You would have the two best CBs in your team along with the best player in the world. Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, had probably his worst game of the last couple of season last night. Was down to lack of focus like the rest of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca have needed some real defenders and not putting midfielders back there for some time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He's bought Alves, Adriano, Chygrynsky, Cáceres and Piqué in 4 years. You could also add Henrique, but that was done behind his back. I wouldn't say he's against it but obviously we need personnel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Looks like it's just quotes lifted from Bild but the BBC are now reporting it: Arsenal working on deal to sign Lukas Podolski By David Ornstein BBC Sport Arsenal are working on a deal to sign Germany striker Lukas Podolski from Cologne, BBC Sport understands. Reports suggest the Gunners will pay £10.9m for the 26-year-old on a four-year contract worth £100,000 a week. Arsenal's Per Mertesacker, a Germany team-mate, said Podolski has asked him about life at Emirates Stadium. He said: "He has sent me a number of text messages, and I have told him this is a great place to work and Arsenal are an amazing club." Cologne manager Stale Solbakken admitted last month he could lose Podolski to Arsenal. Big-spending Lokomotiv Moscow and Anzhi Makhachkala are also understood to be pursuing Podolski but the striker said recently that money was not his prime concern. "Money is not the most important thing for me," he told German newspaper Sport-Bild. "What is crucial is the development of my game." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 What's Podolski like these days? As the last time I followed his career his goal scoring record at club level wasn't anything to shout about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Might be wrong, but didn't him and Klose score more goals during the 2010 World Cup than they did during the 09-10 Bundesliga season? Made a mockery of the "pick players on form" that we seem obsessed about over here anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 He's a superb player and has 16 goals in 20 games in the league this year, don't know how they'll fit him with Van Persie but he certainly is quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Play wing forward or replace him depending on what happens you'd think. Think he's nailed on to be a letdown personally but we'll wait and see I guess. Pressure will be unreal of he's van Persies replacement too, something he isn't great with IIRC.
