The only time I've ever worn mine is on the astroturf

Same, I don't wear it out and about or even to the pub. I wear that Champions League 2006 yellow jersey with "HENRY 14" on the back with pride on astroturf though, as I thunder forward, fat thighs bulging, ready to close-line anyone thinking of coming within 5 yards of me.

Kallstrom looks big, think he can definitely cover as that fourth choice CB too as he has in the past so not a bad signing at all, just badly needed anybody for upfront.

That's interesting, so would you say he was more defensive or creative ?

from what i have seen, defensive 100% with a great left peg on him, so good shots from distance and good set pieces.

We signed Draxler for €38M and beat Southampton 3-2 and and Wenger signed a new contract.





At least someone will be happy.

Awsome. But why do I have a feeling that the complete opposite is true lol. Well I will believe what you say as I don't want to be upset here in Vietnam lol.

Anyways football is big here. All the locals watch footy. A shame most are United and Liverpool fans,!

Any jersey I've ever owned was either a gift or bought for me by my parents when I was small.

Same here got my first jersey in years this season which now comes in handy for the gym.

The rest I hold onto got a few with Wright on the back.

As for the window meh would have hoped for better still think we will challenge and can win it like I said begining of the season we just have to hope player stay fit and suspensions steer clear.

And we didn't stump up the cash for Osvaldo and Soldado in the summer.

They were so clearly what we needed.

Oh and Rickie Lambert of course.


In all seriousness. Glad we haven't spend all our cash on a player that isn't a CF.

Wenger's spoken before about needing a forward that can play 'with or without Giroud'. So that's a big purchase in the summer in the Suarez, Ageuro, Higuain mould.

Shame I think he could have done a reasonable job for us. A bit like when Henry came back and scored a couple of crucial goals for us.

Duck it its a joke we didn't sign anyone but its only life at the end of the day despite how serious we take it. Very unlikely to win the league now Ollie is going to be knackered in no time unless Nicky manages to get in touch with Harry Potter

Senderos was good when on form. His problem was how inconsistent he was. Great one week, woeful the next.

We really need to retire that number. Grimandi wasnt bad but nothing spectacular either.

Disappointed about no striker coming in but we are no worse off then we were, no one around us bought anyone of note and we are still right in the mix.

Don't forget lamela!

What strikers are there out there that would fit the mould of suarez etc that might be available? I really can't think of any except maybe Diego Costa but I'm still not convinced by him. How are cavani and Falcao getting on in France? (i know Falcao is injured)

What do you mean how are they getting on in France? Falcao scored about 1 every 2 games before his injury. Imo he's a better striker than Aguero, I know thats a big statement but he is a phenomenal player. And Cavani is banging in goals even though he is being played out of position half the time.

I agree with you on Costa, I'm not sold on him either, I think he's a one dimension kind of player, nowhere near as good as Falccao, Aguero or Suarez imo.

cathalio11

Remember the 4-4 game between Sweden and Germany?

Apparently Kallstrom came on at half time and set up 2 or 3 goals.

MaxPower89

Sick of the moaning about who we could have got in, 2nd rate or past it strikers, who gives a monkeys. Can we just move on now and focus on the players we have. We play with 1 up top, that is Giroud, and Bendtner when the former is rested/injured. We won't be changing tack now.

Should we persist with Gnabry or go with the Ox on the RHS? We need to start scoring a few more goals, and I think the Ox is more likely to provide them, and he needs minutes to get up to speed. Gnabry, whilst he looks a gem, is more for the future and doesn't look like scoring.

I'd like to see the following team v Palace:

back 5(Gibbs @ LB)

Ox Arteta Ozil Cazorla Podolski

Giroud

Kallstrom was a member of the Lyon team that dominated French football and did well in Europe too.

I'd say he'll do a better job than most are expecting...

Don't think anybody will be expecting too much from him so anything positive he bring to the team will be a bonus. If he can have a Benayoun type impact i think most fans will be happy.

I was kind of coming at it from a 'are they happy there and would they be looking for a move potentially' kinda angle. Someone like that would be great.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Oh and of course our match is on at the same time as the rugby tomorrow, typical!

tayto lover

I am happy enough with our squad if all were fit.
I just think that if we had bought one good goal poacher it would have given us the vital cog we are lacking.
Don't ask me who. I am not a scout and don't follow foreign football but surely there was some gem of a player available that would have improved us.

Still on-wards and upwards.

Yes we are on Sky tomorrow.

8th Feb according to Physioroom, not sure how accurate that is though. On the plus side, Sanogo is back on the 8th also. :cool:

Cracking game on now between QPR and Burnley. 2 - 3 at minute Doyle and Dunne scored for QPR.

Think Jack should really only be used every second game from now on with maybe a few sub appearances when he doesn't start. The lad get tackled so many times his body can't cope with all the knocks.

I know he's only young but the only appearance he's made for us he looked like a rabbit caught in the head lights, it'll be a good while until he's ready for first team action if ever.

Wasn't he on the pitch for like 8 minutes? Can't make a judgement on that..

Yeah which makes it all the more worrying that he caught my eye. I said it after the game that the lad looked way out of his depth.

This isn't funny but sometimes you have to laugh, but apparently our new signing injured himself in training and is out for a couple of months.

Ah yea have to give a player more than 8 minutes any young player making his debut can be overwhelmed, especially only off the plane to a new country and a new team it can take season pros time to adjust never mind a player who is a prospect.

I saw a bit of him during the summer playing for France and he looked a good player.

I hope I am wrong about him, but you have to remeber its a huge jump in playing underage football to Prem Lge level. Remember a certain Arturo Lupoli was running riot at under age level.

Word going round that Kallstrom is out for 2-3 months. You couldn't make it up.

I wish. Still in rumour stage, but seems to be true.

All you can do is laugh really if it's true. Everyone saw what we needed to bring in and Wenger failed miserably yet again.

Mr Blobby

I doubt its true.
The newspaper that said this are meant to make up **** all the time.

Edit: And how would a Swedish newspaper know about an injury so soon?

keano_afc

I'd say its a wind up. Wouldn't surprise me though.
