Can we argue exceptional talent and that paulista would bring excitement and enjoyment to England through scoring quality own goals?

I remember seeing a few videos of this!

I think the fact he is 24 we could struggle. But I don't get the work permit in football issue. His taxes alone would do Britain some good. he's not coming to work on asda and won't be on benefits

{Ed002's Note - I pay my tax but still need a work permit.}

Seen the one against Barcelona, should be voted goal of the season:)

21 Jan 2015 20:26:38
He's a right sided CB so could pair with Kos over BFG

Your post totally swings it for me Ozil, sign him what ever the price it will be fantastic value for money

21 Jan 2015 17:13:37
Did I upset you lot when I said would you consider selling Jack and Ozil for £65m?

Blimey, what a sensitive bunch of namby pambies you lot are.

Smiley face and big hugs :-)

Didn't upset me, jacks a keeper and I'd sell ozil for a bar of fruit and nut, still what do I know!

After all the stick you took for your Remy man love I'm saying all's fair in love and war!

Do it again mind and I'll kick off! ;-)

Remy should of been our signing over welbeck. The fact he cost 6mill less is a snip

Pointless having a banter page if we all agree on the same thing (except your jokes, we all agree on them).

Dags, you didn't upset me, I found my prozac in the dogs bed

21 Jan 2015 21:33:20
Lol,

What are you boys like? :-)

Ozil and wilshere do they play for arsenal? not seen them on the pitch

22 Jan 2015 10:18:05
Well it caused a big debate and isn't that what this whole site is about? Each of us sharing our opinions on others comments, so all you did dags was ask a question and we all commented, no different to any other post ^-^ but I accept your hug and kiss, just don't do it again or no more jokes from you! ;-)

337, Jack is actually a midfielder

{Ed025's Note - hes actually...a liability..

I actually knew some smart 4rse would pick up the "keeper" bit, surprised it took so long tpg

Haha I know I was reading the replies expecting it but it wasn't there so I had to do the honours :) Also, thanks but I'm really not that smart 337.

P.S. I think you're being a tad harsh there Ed, he actually does a decent job on each of his annual appearances

{Ed025's Note - he can be a fine player TPG, he does not help himself half the time though mate..

Agreed Ed, that about sums him up at the moment. Although he did seem a bit more focused up until this recent injury - almost like Wenger had told him he's running low on chances.

Just to warn you all ---- I have had quite a long period of rarely at all being able to post and almost never being able to reply. This has been due to broadband problems of low speed and continuous dropping out sessions.
Has been very frustrating to the point of taking up drink (again).

Thanks to the gods for finally digging up half the Yorkshire countryside and putting fibre down I can post a load of bo((ox whenever I feel like it - might even comment on some of Dags infamous attempts at jokes!

{Ed007's Note - Nice to see you back posting.}

21 Jan 2015 17:03:45
Do you want me to post a backlog of all my jokes?

I don't mind, honest :-)

{Ed007's Note - I think we'll give that a swerve.}

Jokes? Surely you can be prosecuted for calling them that?

21 Jan 2015 21:36:20
I have feelings you know :-)

Perhaps the worst bit about the problems I was having was that I could actually see all the posts but not have the right of reply.

So in answer to your question about reposting all your jokes for my benefit would have to be :
Fer fax sake please no!!!! I am a very regular person in the defacation department so I get to see all the SH*TE I want without logging on!

21 Jan 2015 23:17:13
Exiled,

Is that a 'no' than? :-)

21 Jan 2015 08:45:39
Ed, reports saying there's issues with Paulista's work permit if we sign him, you heard anything similar?

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, he hasn't made enough appearances for his country to qualify, so it would need to be on the exceptional talent clause.}

I'm really not getting this one at all, why are we trying to sign a CD for 10-15m with permit problems when Winston Rweid can be got for half the price and is ready to go in the EPL?

Something smells fishy!

21 Jan 2015 15:11:54
Did we not sign Miyachi though that clause?

Also is that how Willian and Oscar got to Chelsea - I know Oscar was playing in the under21s not sure about the firsts.

21 Jan 2015 16:13:22
Also how Leicester signed Andrej Kramaric in the current window.

As Ed001 said, the player has to demonstrate exceptional talent and would improve the English game/league.

All depends how Arsenal argue it

21 Jan 2015 17:07:57
Totally agree 337,

No brainer

How about Ox huh!?!? For me his strength and better dribble I like him over theo . He's better in the tackle too!! A lot to look forward to with the ox! He's so young still

Ox is by far our most underrated player by most fans.
Monreal can do no right and Gibbs and Mertaducker no wrong and Ox? Well he's pretty much invisible.
Strange thing is a lot of fans from other clubs rate him massively, weird

G62
Love the ox but he still frustrates me as he does still get the old three lemons up in his brain as soon as he gets near goal - at present he hast far less end product in either goals or assists than his ability, strength and pace should allow him. I am sure he will get better. The jury is still out for me about Gibbs - needs to do better at both ends of the park.
I absolutely PRAY that MO gets the magic back - I am convinced that it's been fitness and confidence only that has caused his lack of star quality.

21 Jan 2015 14:25:52
Fantastic player, once he starts adding goals to his game he will be awesome. Love him.

Mertesacker can do no wrong? Everyone has been on his back whether it's people on here, pundits on match of the day or people I see at the pub etc.

Also, I have always thought Monreal was not good enough even though I admired his attitude. However, this season he is slowly making me eat my words but I think he has genuinely improved as opposed to me being wrong about him in the first place.

Ox is underrated but I sense people are starting to appreciate him, his international displays are great aswell.

My point on Mertaducker ( sorry Dags:-) is if Monreal had done what he did at Stoke and Liverpool he would have been booed every time he touched the ball in every game since but for some reason its no big deal for Orville to do it.
Monreal is doing ok and ALWAYS gives his all even if its not always as good as we or he would like it to be at times its 100% effort in every game

21 Jan 2015 21:19:58
Love me some Ox tail. When queried at the start of this season on here, I picked him for our most improved. He compliments Alexis so well, both work so hard with and most importantly,without the ball. Wingers in attack, midfielders when we're trying to get it back.

{Ed002's Note - You may do better to reword the first sentence.}

The Mertesacker ducks were treated as big deals though, by people on here, pundits, the media and the public.

That point about Monreal would be booed every touch of the ball is a complete guess and I doubt it, agree on what you say though - his effort is faultless and his performances are getting better too.
