Cunning_Linguist Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Summer 08 Oh Man, DOn't remind me, I was at Arsenal that day when MA was caught on camera downing the beer.... Even got my picture with him after the match, Then everything went terribly wrong.... Sad times! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Summer 08 In terms of people coming in it was great, just the setup that failed. Bassong, Guthrie, Gutiérrez, Coloccini... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwegianmagpie Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's not like a signing late in the window has to be a late panic signing. We could well been working on at deal for some time, for it just to be wrapped up late. If suddenly AC, Debuchy or whatever player we've been tracking becomes available at the right price, I cant see it being a problem, even for Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Everyone's doomsday predictions are all a bit pathetic tbh. We were all thinking the same thing last January and then Cisse popped up. By all means moan if by the end of the window we've got no-one else, but jesus-christ give it a f***ing rest for now. It's not over. Thats the point though. Ashley gambled this time last year by not signing a striker, with the hope we could go through to Jan avoiding injuries and with the players we have delivering. It looks nailed on he's gonna do that again imo, only this time we have the prospect of more games and the squad bar one player is no different. Our squad is good agreed but im a little uneasy with all this reluctance to go that extra yard to get players. Time will tell, just want it out the way now.

I just don't see the use in worrying until the deed is done so to speak. It's very possible that this time next week we'll be excited as hell because Debuchy and a striker have come in and we look set to make a real go at this season. Fair enough it'd be nice to get it done sooner, but no sense worrying just yet imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Carroll is the only deal I can see us possibly doing and that will depend entirely on whether Liverpool blink or not. Providing there are no outgoings it won't have been a truly terrible transfer window but it does have a faint wiff of summer 2003 about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a positive way of looking at it and it would be wonderful for us to repeat a Cisse-esque deal in the next few days. Personally, cant see it happening. Would love to be wrong on the matter obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'd love to see us get a couple of solid signings over the line, even one more. As the days go by I just feel more pessimistic about our chances even though I lost interest in most of the stories a while ago. Maybe they will clinch a couple of last minute signings but if we don't it will be a great shame to fail to build on the momentum gained last season.

Village Idiot Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Well, Barça's ITK on the Catalan telly claims Afellay is NUFC-bound. Take it with a grain of salt, I never watch this ITK show so I have no idea how trustable they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
