Arsenal are certainly ahead of Liverpool. Any sane supporter would tell you that.

Could be argued Spurs are ahead of Arsenal atm with current squads.

I can see Spurs easily taking top 4 if bale stays

People say this every year in fairness.

Well yeah, but I believe they are getting the players in in anticipation of losing Bale.

Right... you seem to have drawn that conclusion from absolutely nowhere. My point was that the thread became full of bitching between different sets of arse fans and subsequently became **** to read. It's happening again now bewtween arse and pool fans.

I'd still like to pin this down to be honest, can you think of a few of the "anti-Wenger" crowd? Does saying that we should have signed someone before this stage of pre-season make someone anti-Wenger?

I can agree with Nuri and yourself on that as of now were not title challenger but two or three top quality signings and we could be and that essentially what we were promised at the start of this summer hence why you see a hell of a lot of frustrated posters in here. Im still clinging to hope.

I think Chelsea have a brilliant squad between themselves and City in terms of squads but can they make it happen remains to be seen. I just think were Chelsea lack is CF United and City are streets ahead.



Ok apologies I guess the constant jibes from Liverpool fans in here is starting to get to me there's been way to much dick swinging competitions in here for my liking, I really don't know why so many of your fellow fans feel the need to come in and vent there anger if I was a Liverpool fan I wouldn't be looking at Arsenal but at my own club and questioning why our best player wants to leave and also be angry with Suarez over his actions.

As with RVP last year I never once went into the United thread or blamed United Ferguson and United done what they needed to to win the league fair play, do I still hate RVP sure as hell I do but I don't blame United on that or never did.

There's only been a few to be fair. Could say the same about a few Arsenal supporters in the Liverpool thread too, one of them has been quite regular when it comes bashing LFC going way before the Suarez to Arsenal saga began too

As for venturing into the other teams threads, well that's your prerogative whether to do so or not. I really don't see the issue with it, after all it's a public forum. I venture into every thread bar the LOI one(s) really. I've even posted in the Spurs forum a few times. That's just how I roll If someone is acting the dick, report it.

I dunno. I look at the current Arsenal squad, and it's a bit threadbare. Sagna is older, is getting over two broken legs, and he's supposed to be covering centreback? Arteta is amazing but he's 31 now, and looked a bit tired playing every minute last season. Cazorla also seemed tired last season, and he's not had much of a break. Monreal is injured, Vermaelen is injured. Gibbs isn't injuryd as of writing, but he does tend to pick up injuries. Arsenal really need more players and I'm afraid of another rush around the bargain bin, except people know Arsene has cash now.

Although probably Zlatan will come home. We won't even make him do a trial this time.

Awesomeness

Ah yeh I have been in other teams thread aswell at various times but for general discussion a lot of the Liverpool fans are just coming in recently here to vent on Arsenal for no good reason really which was what I meant.

But yeh I'd never brand all Liverpool fans morons based on a few that are popping up in here a lot lately. I'm sure there's a few Arsenal fans doing the same in the Liverpool thread.

Is there any Arsenal news today at all.
Page after page of digs and swipes i'm after reading here.

Be a nice signing but still need a top Striker and Centre back.

I would honestly rather a top left winger instead of a striker to be honest, I think Podolski could do a job up front if he was giving a few games there. Di Maria off Real would be delightful.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Gustavo would be an excellent step in the right direction.

emergingstar

I'm gonna ask again can he play ball or is he just a kicker

Podolski and Giroud are good backs up but they ain't top 4 quality, score you 30 goals a season type players to strike fear in any defence. So I rather we get a Striker in rather then a LW but I like a LW.

what's the story with Gustavo? is he not getting his game for bayern? does he start for brazil? and why are bayern wanting to get rid if he is that good

Gilberto Silva but with better distribution.

Highest pass completion in Bundesliga at 93%, so either he can play a bit of ball or at least knows his limitations and keeps it very simple.

Gringo180 wrote: »

I like that sounds good

But

Why is he going do cheap??

Why ain't other clubs in for him??

Honest questions I don't no much about him

I agree with you but I think we score goals all over the park so we dont really need a 30 goal a season striker, we need a left winger with pace who can run at and hurt teams from deep Podolski just doesn't offer us that out wide.

He doesnt seem to feature to much in Pep's plans, got pushed down the pecking order in midfield with the arrival of Thiago and Gotze.

Perhaps Nuri can share some insight? He knows the Bundesliga well.

Not fact but the way I see it maybe too much competition with Thiago and Goetze coming in and maybe with Guardiola coming in he may see his chances limited. He played most games for Bayern last season very surpised theres not a host of clubs queing up for him.

Seems that we've loaned Miquel out! Do we even have enough players left for the bench now!!

Whatever your feelings towards Wenger and the club they've done a pretty good job clearing out players. Except fûcking bendtner

Ah so like I thought he is already back tracking and trying to cover his ass for when Suarez leaves. There is no way they can keep him after everything that has gone on.

£60m+ might turn them, but I think Henry knows that type of bid will never come in.

They will keep him then. I'd be amazed if he ends up at Arsenal. I think Henry knows his rep would be in tatters if he sold him to Arsenal after what he said.

It looks like even Suarez is finally acceptin he won't be going

I reckon 45 to 50 would be enough to get them to deal.

There is no way they will keep him at the end of the day Henry is a business man and he's not going to keep an asset of that value sitting there who doesn't want to play and is only thinking of leaving. City done that with Tevez because well money is no object to them, but look how cheaply he went in the end

Probably missed it but it now looks like Suarez is going to be happy enough to stay on. Suarez was always going to play for us this season.

If you think so, I don't think this saga is over by a long shot.

On a seperate point it's amazing how quick Liverpool fans are to vent at Arsenal for making bids on a player who wants out but are so quick to accept Suarez back into the fold after everything he has said this summer.
