Arsenal Banter Archive January 11 2014

Hi Ed, just heard we are planning a loan move for David villa?
Any truth in this.

Not going to happen. Poor journalism in my opinion.

David villa, won't cut it anymore. he is no longer a player fit to play at the highest level, day in and day out. perhaps as a sub, but that too for La liga or bundesliga, not EPL, where every tackle could be your worst nightmare.

Griezmann instead of Pedro, Gunners what do you think?

I would take Pedro as I think he is a more natural goalscorer and is left and right footed so can play through the middle or on either wing, also has a very good shot.

I'd take Pedro as I agree with DG, he's more of a goalscorer.

However, I am a big fan of Greizmann (sic) and think he is a quality player with more to come.

Being greedy, take em both!

Dont rate Griezmann. he would be a sub at best for us.

we only have to look at Carlos vela to know that.

Vela maybe scoring goals for Real Soc, but he does not have any pressure to perform, their status is to make the top 4 if possible.

our current status is to win something, and the minimum requirement is to stay top 4, and the pressure our boys are facing is immense, especially for game day monday.

Malaga,
Just wondering if that plane on stand by is on a hourly rate & maybe that's why arsenal have not yet signed a worldclass striker they really need to win the league, any light u could shed would be much appreciated as I am a mere mortal compared to yourself.

Thanks Chris The REDman
Quite funny with all this 'inside' knowledge u have u couldn't figure out CTR and Chris The REDman are one and the same lol, even laker got that & we all know his mentality.

(baiting up that hook) :-)

Gd luck for today, villa are that poor even we beat them a few weeks ago lol, so i'm expecting u to score at least 3 although o bet many of u will take a scrappy 1-0 win.

On another note where is stoner? I miss his banter and wit.

:-)

CTR,

Your vast football knowledge is always amazing, but we are not playing today so if we score 3 goals it will be a bonus.

Have just seen RVP and Shrek playing beach volleyball having a great laugh whilst comparing bank balances.

Lets see if you can break another record and get 4 losses in a row today!

My sincere apologies tomorrow 337!

Yes u never know we might cause an upset today ;-)

First one reeled in any more bitters opps I mean biters out there :-)

Why would they compare wages? Rooney wins hands down, all those winning bonuses for cups, finals, titles etc, Robin unless your forgetting played for arsenal for many years so he doesn't have nearly as much :-)

Apology not accepted, it's Monday!

You really need to learn the days of the week as your team will be playing in Europe on 'Thursdays' next season (if they are lucky).

And as you mentioned my old mate Stoner, he was famed for his phrases and he would use the following for you if he were still around:

CTR you are a 'bowel nugget'

Chris it's not tomorrow either, moron.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like you'll even get Europa league this season, such a shame as we would all love to see RVP playing Europa.

Sadly this will mean Rooney will leave in the summer, so there's little point in discussing his salary at Manchester's smaller club.

Core I bet ure glad Paul saved u 337 ;-)

While I gently reel u in paul dnt u wish u could bring through a player like Adnan :-)

Adnan "the twig" Januzaj is on a similar level to Miyachi and that shows how bad your squad really is that he is a starter lol!

Adnan has a lot of potential, but if utd can't keep their main players, its only a matter of time before he thinks of leaving too.

not to mention the near 300 million in share value wiped off the stock value since moyes took over.

how the tables turn. the devils are looking to the heavens for an answer.

So a few days ago I posted something about getting draxler and converting him into a striker and people were like oh it won't happen etc. turns out accroding to (aint most reliable source) that arsenal are weighing up their options for draxler and may use him as a striker!

Not arsenal related at all.

Wanted to know what people thought of Dortmund, lewandowski leaving, gotze left for the same team, 4th in the league, things aren't looking great at the moment but they always seem to pull someone out of nowhere to replace a star that's left (gundogan for sahin, lewandowski for barrios and even gotze for kagawa.)

I don't think they will plummet out of the champions league year after year but maybe it could be the beginning of the end for Dortmund? It's hard enough to win trophies when Bayern is the standard, but when your stars are leaving for that competition it's obviously going to be even harder to win trophies and compete at the same level, us as fans witnessed this first hand.

Not forgetting the positives, massive stadium, great fans, cheap tickets and season tickets, got a lot of injuries at the moment (will be stronger when they all come back.)

Would like to hear what others think. Cheers gooners!

I don't think you can help but love Dortmund, bet it's something else to go to one of there home games.

They're are definately missing Gundogan who is huge for them, not sure how much longer he is out with his back injury but he's a big reason they are struggling.

They're also to a degree similar to how is used to be for us as in the Utd RVP situation but that hasn't changed for them.

They have so much quality and everyone wants it and that includes Klopp.

Personally would love him to be Arsene's successor when the time comes. If and when they lose him then that's when it will become a problem. Whilst he's there I'm sure they'll bounce back.

Gundogan in an Arsenal shirt would be epic as a replacement for Arteta and Flamini, reports of United putting in a bid of £24 million, Gazump them big time I say. They don't come much better than him.
