SEMTEX Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Quality over quantity. Aye right. We'll just get rid of the 20 shite players in our squad and stick with the XI decent ones then. I'm sure that'll work for the season ahead. + Financial strength. Fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Meh one of prior complaints over club was a complete lack of transparency, adn they're trying to do better and keep fans in loop, good. I do think that also involves an honest relationship with the press, not banning papers and giving privileged info to ones who pay, all the info that way becomes basically untrustworthy as there are vested interests from the press in sucking up. I still want Ashley out btw, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Net spend is bollocks imo. In the past the net spend has been low because we've had bids for players that other clubs want and we've bitten their hands off. This time we've had no saleable assets (or at least no-ones been prepared to meet our valuation), so the net spend is high. If the Berahino deal had been done for example, WBA & Spurs would have swapped places on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal got a B FFS They didn't sign any outfield players! Palace A+ Cabaye is a quality signing and I think Sako will be too. But he is unproven at this level, as is Bamford and I don't rate the keeper. Wickham is shit. I fucking hate Paul Merson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning_Linguist Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That article is a pile of shit. Does Paul Merson actually know what he is going on about? I look at the names and you can throw up a coin and say 'heads or tails?' because they might work and it will be a good season or they won't click and it could go the other way Really? Surely thats the same for any team that buys more than one player. Gooner Cunt! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AY Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 It's like if you buy rejects from big clubs you are doing well, cause he has heard of them before. But if you buy a Dutch international who played in the WC, it's a gamble. With Merson's thinking Rodwell is better than Wijnaldum When do these journos start to watch European football..

Darth Crooks Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 When the likes of Merson get bored of gambling their immense fortunes away being paid to do jack buggery and waking up covered in their own piss.

While I 100% agree, us talking about it at length is why they carry on being paid like. If only we could all just ignore them, but we can't. It's too tempting.

Wisdom Body Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 It really infuriates me that cretins like Merson and Wright get paid handsomely to do no research whatsoever and give their moronic opinion on things. I'm convinced former players are given these punditry jobs as a form of charity, to prevent them from ending up like Kenny Sansom or Gazza. After all, ever since they could walk, all they've known is kicking a ball... Was listening to Clive Allen as a technical commentator recently and it was particularly pitiful. Most casual observers would be able to give more insight than that type of cliché-ridden prattle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
