[goon]

huh, yellow card eh? Dont recall swearing

[Rizzudo]

travesty

[Olly Kenney]

Imagine Fabregas, RvP, Senderos, Eboue, Cole and Clichy are minus 10's.

[McMaster#28]

goon you are useless.

Think Senderos, probably Flamini, Reyes, etc etc.

You big researcher wanabe

[goon]

Never thought of the Establised players for some reason

Flamini

[McMaster#28]

Song is probably not a -10. I think FS only rated him -9 which is fair.

Toure isn't a -10 either which is right, his PA is only 190. FS probably rating a bit too low as well I guess?

[Asmodeus]

-9? Bloody hell!

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Sochaux have warned suitors of Jeremy Menez that the teenage playmaker will not be leaving on the cheap.

Menez is one of French football's brightest prospects and has been linked with a summer move away from Sochaux.

UEFA Champions League finalists Arsenal have reportedly asked to be kept updated on the 19-year-old's situation.

Paris Saint Germain and Monaco are also admirers of the schemer, who endured a slightly disappointing past season.

He has one year remaining on his Sochaux contract and has recently rejected an extension at Stade Bonal.

But though the starlet appears unsettled at the club, Sochaux are adamant Menez will not be sold for a knock-down fee.

"He is evading us so far," commented Sochaux chairman Jean-Claude Plessis.

"Anyway, I have no intention to sell him cut-price." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">According to reports in Italy, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is mulling over a move for Ternana playmaker Luis Jimenez.

The 22-year-old has spent the last six months on loan at Serie A outfit Fiorentina and has reputedly caught the eye of the Gunners boss.

Ternana have now been relegated to Serie C and as a result are highly unlikely to keep hold of the Chile international.

Although no official confirmation has been forthcoming from either party, reports suggest that tentative talks have taken place.

Arsenal are in the market for squad reinforcements after the departure of both Robert Pires and Dennis Bergkamp, but Wenger has already moved quickly to sign Czech star Tomas Rosicky.

Ternana prospect Jimenez is also thought to have caught the attention of Gunners' scouts and could now be in contention for a switch to the Emirates Stadium for next season. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Nothing concrete here, and my personal knowledge of the two goes little beyond FM knowledge here.

Slow day...

You all now i've bookmarked that. The awesome performance v United, not for us.

He's just had tonnes of good games at CB, and got all this s**t form playing out of position (left mid Arsene?). PCifb.

Anyway, as the WC starts tomorrow, we'll see just how good another undervaued Arsenal player is, seeing how well he plays for his country. Jose Antonio. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Cygan is indeed fb. That goal line clearance away to Roma>>>*.

[Pires777]

french defender of the year for a reason......never seemed match fit when he played for us, cant really blame him.

[Asmodeus]

He never had a prolonged spell in the side really.

I often thought he looked more comfortable in European competition than the Premiership too.

[Copps]

Are they gonna be sticking any more of a facade on the outside of Emirates? THIS looks a bit scruffy.

[Asmodeus]

An enormous "4...?"

[Mikey G]

Ah it looks fine to me.

[Ratinho]

No time for you to get this Heerenveen lad in Father?

[Mikey G]

eh?

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Arsenal are on the verge of signing 17-year-old Dutch starlet Vincent van den Berg, according to reports from Holland on Friday.

The Heerenveen midfielder has met with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger as well as compatriot Dennis Bergkamp and has been offered a contract with the North London club.

Despite van den Berg having also had the option to sign a deal with the Frisian club he has set his heart on a switch to the UEFA Champions League finalists.

The former Feyenoord prospect is ready to sign a deal and will no doubt hope to follow in the footsteps of ex-de Kuip star Robin van Persie at Arsenal.

Van den Berg, who left Feyenoord's Academy to join Heerenveen two years ago, has caught the eye after representing his country at youth team level.

The exciting prospect was a member of the Dutch side who achieved a third-placed finish in the Fifa Under-17 World Championships in Peru last October.

Have these sources said anything about this Adriano deal thats supposed to be happening, find it hard to believe tbh.

[Cesc Fabregas the Phenom]

Adriano

Not a smegging chance in hell.

[arsenaltops]

Yeah, fair enough, just a lot of rumours flying round about this, and anythings possible (That and im being terminally optimistic)

Nah, these guys only tell me stuff as it's happening, maybe a couple of days heads up. I'm pretty certain Adriano isn't in/flynig to London right now.

PLus, we aint *****ing all our transfer kitty on an area that needs maybe the least strengthening.

[arsenaltops]

lol, fair enough, what about all this w*nk about yaya going to Spurs *spits*?

[goon]

and he isnt even that good. torres > Adriano

English tony to become pompy ass

[arsenaltops]

Are you drunk or something goon? No way is Torres better than Adriano

[MagicGooner]

Im with goon on this almost.

Adriano is probably better player of the two imo, but i would still choose Torres over Adriano anyday.

[goon]

[arsenaltops]

Nah, Adriano may be a moody git but hes still better than Torres any day.

[Pires777]

we dont need another left footed striker tbh....

Still need a defender......anyone know if yaya can play in defense as well?

[Forest_Rule]

Yaya Toure is pretty fb based on the match against Argentina

[goon]

Must admit he did impress me, but im pretty certain Diaby was purchased instead of him. And no he cant pires777.

[Slightly Damp Shrew]

If he's got anywhere near his brother's adaptability then I'll wager he can.

[ajw10]

Goon so right

Torres over Adriano any day.

Never going to happen though

[Asmodeus]

Most of the ASEC graduates can play pretty well in most positions.

[Ratinho]

DID YOU ALL JUST SEE THAT??

[Olly Kenney]

Was alright i suppose.

[ajw10]

*smug* £6.8m you say?

[Tailormade Slacker]

One goal easily makes that the best purchase EVER.
