No one else signed Ali Dia

 

[Raven]

Selling Torres for 50 million more than makes up for Liverpool's recent shit buys.

 

[Aoami]

Add Erik Lamela to this list btw

 

[caLLous]

Piss off he's gonna be a legend. He's injured at the moment but Sherwood has every intention of making good use of him. I'll be incredibly disappointed if we ship him out on loan or sell him in this window.

And Ali Dia was more Souness getting fooled rather than Saints in general wasn't it? But I guess you still signed him.

Veron had 51 apps and seven goals to Carroll's 44 apps and 6 goals.. The lemons were equal in size, except Veron was cheaper at 28.1 million to Carroll's 35. Both shipped off that 15mil

 

[Raven]

28mil was a hell of a lot more in comparative terms though, wasn't it a world record at the time?

Veron is a midfielder, carrol a striker

 

[Billargh]

Walcott out for 6 months with ACL damage, little fella has no luck does he?

 

[Aoami]

Poor guy. Seems to happen every time he hits some form.

 

[caLLous]

I feel for him because he'll miss the WC.

 

[Bahumat]

He is in my FF team

 

[Gwadien]

I feel for him because he'll miss the WC.

I suppose he's in his prime as well, he's what, 24ish?

 

[caLLous]

Yeah, he's been in the England team since he was 17 but hasn't made it to a WC yet and won't make it until he's 29 (assuming he's still in the squad next time around ofc).

 

[Raven]

Saves him the awkwardness of flying out to Brazil only to finish bottom of the group. Always a bright side.

 

[Billargh]

He is in my FF team

Was going to put him in this week

 

[caLLous]

Makes things interesting at the top. It'll be interesting to see what transfer business Wenger does.

 

[ileks]

He really needs to bring someone in now.

 

[CorNokZ]

Arsenal's spring season

 

[Vladamir]

 

[soze]

ACL injury makes me think Pires and Ljungberg who both suffered it and never came back as good as before. Theo has age on his side but still it worries me

We HAVE to be in the market for a Striker now right? right? please?

 

[CorNokZ]

You have Lord Bendtner

Acl injury recovery isn't half as bad now add it was even 10 years ago. See Adrian Petersen / Darelle Revis

 

[caLLous]

You have Lord Bendtner

No, they don't. He's out for a month.

 

[soze]

We have Park! And Podolski coming back.

 

[caLLous]

AOC should be back soon too, he's back in full training apparently.

 

[Hawkwind]

Yes. Yes he was.

A couple of decent games in the CL doesn't wipe out two years of shite for a PL record signing.

Agree with the rest of your post tho.

In the immortal of Fergie himself - "He's a fucking great player, and you're all fucking idiots,"

Aye. Just before selling the british transfer record at a 50% loss

 

[Hawkwind]

Aye. Just before selling the british transfer record at a 50% loss

I just the irony of the quote.

 

[Hawkwind]

Hmmm the luv icon thingy did not work and past edit timer

 

[Raven]

Ha!
