Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

I would be very surprised to see RVP go to City, another league I can understand but leaving for money never sits well with me. Lets just hope City offered him a contract before talking to us so we can sting them again if he does leave.

Romarinho scored twice yesterday.

Montpellier president says that Arsenal have signed Olivier Giroud.

The new away kit is set to give the Club a striking new look on the road for the forthcoming season..

I get the feeling that the black/blue/purple and red stripped fucker might be real

Now official.

 

[Keitanz]

FFS, BBC are reporting that Sigurdsson is having a medical with Spurs.... why the fuck didn't Liverpool sign him when they had the chance..

Most likely a replacement for Modric.. bleh

About £7m too...

@WhoScored

Olivier Giroud vs Robin van Persie - Conversion rates (league 2011/12): Left foot 16%-17%, Right foot 17%-25%, Head 2.9%-4.3%, Total 13%-17%.

Olivier Giroud: Had the most headed attempts (35), scored joint most goals (21) & was caught offside most times (45) in Ligue 1 last season.

Olivier Giroud: Won 70.2% of his aerial duels last season, the best aerial duel success rate of all strikers in the top 5 leagues (10+ apps).

Comparing stats from French league to prem league doesn't mean much tbh

Any truth to the report here in Holland that QPR have fined Barton 840K?
Absolutely fantastic if true.

Yes, fined 6 weeks wages and stripped of the captaincy

 

[megadave]

Giroud is Chamakh mark II.

 

[Everz]

Giroud is Chamakh mark II.

Or Drogba mk II.

Infact there is an insane similarity between the both.

 

[megadave]

We'll see

The RVP rumours are very strong tonight...

https://twitter.com/#!/garbosj tweeted "RVP contract of £225k per week with #MCFC was agreed in March. The fee to #AFC is the only part of deal outstanding."

I love rumours Agent_ITK is saying it too and he calls a lot of Arsenal stuff long before it happens.

 

[soze]

The thing is that is tapping up and illegal there is no way we would let them talk o him with out agreeing a fee. Why would we let your captain get his head turned. So he can demand a transfer and go for a lesser fee? If they have talked to the player before the club again then we should get the pricks charged rather than just taking hush money getting your players heads turned is fucking shit.

 

[Aoami]

if rvp wanted to be at arsenal a contract would've been sorted by now, surely? some teams will be prepared to pay good money to take him this summer rather than wait a year so let him go. Podolski is like a slightly less good rvp anyway.

Not sure tbh I do not know when they will sit down or if they have. But if another club wants to talk to him they need to get the OK from us first rather than just talking contracts. What chance do we have if City have offered him £250k a week our business model will not sustain that. So if City have tapped him up we are now entering contract negations hoping loyalty will be worth £100k a week to him.

Wenger and Persie had a meeting about 6 weeks ago didn't they? I'm sure if his mind was 100% on staying with Arsenal then he would have signed a contract by around about now.

RVP is on Holiday and Wenger is only just back from working a the Euros. So for now nothing to worry about. 2 weeks after the team gets back for training if we have heard nothing it is panic time not now.

And they had 3 days between season end and RVP leaving for the Euros this is when RVP is meant to have laid out what he wanted to stay, now he is on the beach with his wife.

 

[Ch3tan]

Bullshit rumours are bullshit. Rvp will stay depending on transfers made, and he's giving arsenal time to convince him.

 

[Everz]

Wasn't part of RvP's mantra to stay was for Wenger to buy a few players? Hence the purchase of Giroud and Podolski and the possibility of M'Vila.

Was going to post that.

Cantona's a class act. He hasn't got any of his trophies and he says his proudest moment in football is fly-kicking that supporter

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Bale signs new deal at Spurs until 2016, but it's rumoured to include a get-out clause stating any big team or non-champions league football qualification and he can leave.

 

[Raven]

So not really worth the paper its printed on then
