The FOOTBALL thread

Do you expect him to stay and beg for a place in Chelsea? He's young, and too great for bench. I won't be surprised of Juan Mata move to any top 4 club in PL.

Well, I don't blame him. He is a fantastic player, and sits out on the bench for the likes of Shurrle and Willian.

The thing is that Chelsea is having a great league so far therefore you cannot blame Mourinho for his choices.

Whenever Mata played, he did good, and was placed on the bench right the next game. I don't get it. Glad he left. Now I am hearing rumors of them agreeing fees for Salah, like they don't have enough wingers already.

Like they don't have money to spend.

Abdisalam Ibrahim signed for Olympiacos today on free transfer from Man City. Never heard of him before, has he really played a single game for City?

Didn't live up to his potential. Gave him a few run ins before, never quite sparkled like Huws and Lopes.

Although twitter sources are 99% incorrect, I truly believe we will buy Julian Draxler.

I know youtube makes all the players look good but I was paying attention to him rather than his goals. I see huge potential there, reminds me of a young Cristiano. King Wenger will convert him into a striker as he does have the attributes for the striker role. (RVP was a midfielder and Wenger converted him)

This is a win-win situation for both club and country. Arsenal obviously have Draxler but his country, Germany, are struggling with players upfront. The likes of Gomez/Podolski and co are ageing.

UPDATE:

Arsenal had a comfortable win over Coventry Friday night.. here are the fixtures for the fifth round of the FA Cup.



Liverpool at home

Man Utd officialy announced the JM signing. Ugly.

ARSENAL UPDATE:

City have 3 first teams so that is no excuse.. arsenal on the other hand play

Not only Weiss was sold from Olympiacos, there are rumours that the current best greek striker, Kostas Mitroglou is about to join Fulham for a fee of 15m. We won't stand a chance against Utd.

Top of the table. Bam.

I cant remember a time where you won a game fairly. Fucking hell man.

Dawson was not offside. Rose touched the ball, not a penalty.

Those two changed the whole game.

Wouldn't find you complaining if it was Arsenal.

Either way, not like Spurs had any part of the game before those incidents. We controlled the majority of the game.
