Noticed that they're guaranteeing at least 1500 tickets to be made available to red members for every home game this season though, might help for us quick-fingered nerds.

Ratinho Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 United are only going to get better with those players. And they were better to start with. Chelsea are only going to spend more and strengthen. We have to do likewise as we are behind these sides. 'We're only going to get better' is a lame argument, as you can say that about many clubs with no set assurance in any case. Sure, we're likely to keep improving. Are we assuming everyone else will just stay as they are and not improve for our benefit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea are only going to spend more and strengthen. Like I said before though, how much are Chelsea and United going to improve? Chelsea might play better and become a better side but ultimately I doubt results will improve much. Same goes for United. And Cheslea will buy players, who's to say they wont replace the likes of Drogba with more Malouda's? United might buy more players too, but they also might lose Cronaldo. All speculation but assuming Chelsea and United will get better is just as bad as arseneknows assuming we'll improve enough to challenge again.

No idea really, Ali offers an awful lot with his pace and off the ball runs, but has finishing that a sunday league player would be ashamed of. Tuncay can be great one minute and an abortion the next. Only thing for sure is Afonso Alves will be playing. Mido is still around as well. We are supposedly after ex gunner Harper of Reading and his ex midfield partner and gooner Sidwell also. I will be more than happy if we sign no one as long as we take another 4 points off you lot again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arseneknows Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 To be honest if Chelsea do become more attacking or play more open which they probably won't, Mourinho really has left an impression there, then I think there will be less to fear about them. They are much more of a threat if they carry on grinding out results and being hard to play against, especially when we play them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arseneknows Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Predictions that don't state the obvious. Diaby to boss the midfield along side Fabregas. Rosicky to stay fit and be the player he can be. (Hleb took 2 seasons to settle remember.) Eduardo to come back as sharpe as ever. V Persie to stay fit and be amazing. Eboue to prove that he is actually a decent energetic versatile player. Senderos to be just not good enough and be at fault for a lot of goals. Sorry that is stating the obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
