Hey Ed,

Thanks for the list. Any news on Rambo’s contract?

{Ed002's Note - I don't know who Rambo is.}

The player he’s likely referring to is Aaron Ramsey.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal made the contract offer a while back but he will have been on vacation and will perhaps deal with it on his return.}

Thanks Ed!

England Sweden and Russia must all be looking at the road to the world cup final as not impossible by any means but Croatia must be thinking it's now or never because of the 4 teams in that half they look by far the most likely finalists.
You can make a case for all the quater finalists in the other half of the draw to be likely champions but the bottom half looks Croatias to loose to me.

I think you can say, its a bit open in that side of the draw.

Croatia were good in the groups but scraped through against Denmark . I think we looks as good as Croatia then I would put Russia with the home advantage alongside Sweden who look a together bunch in my opinion.

For me Croatia have more genuinely good international players than England where only Kane looks capable outside the comfort of hhe premier league of being a recognised star of the game.
This England side has passion effort and desire in abundance but true star quality begins and ends with Harry unfortunately the rest just don't currently look like they will have Juventus Real Barcelona PSG or Bayern asking about them after at the end of the tournament.

I think your been a tad harsh mate. I think Maguire and stones have looked good. Dele was very poor. Loftus cheek looks better. Lingard has been good and Hendo I’ve really liked . And Kane can always score. They don’t have a Harry Kane mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Fair comment mate but personally I thought Stones Lingard and Ali looked short of the required standard against slightly better opposition last night than in the first two games and qualifiers.
Lingard looked good against Panama.
Hopefully thier will all apart from Harry put me right on Saturday v Sweden.

Maguire and Trippier have both been fantastic throughout the entire tournament and if Walker was actually able to play right back he’s class as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually thinking about it I may well be being to tough on some of our players and seeing the weaknesses rather than the strengths they have.
I can't help but think the defence will get horribly exposed at the first real test it faces simply because of some of the mistakes I've seen against the weaker teams but fingers crossed they will stand up much better than I think under real pressure, hope so because they are giving it everything they've got this time and that alone is commendable and different to what we've got used to seeing in previous tournaments.

Reports that Emery wants to sign Andre Gomes, thoughts Gooners?
Apparently we have to sell to fund the deal, perhaps Ramsey as no concrete news on contract negotiations?
Much as I like Nzonzi, the latest news about signing him, seems to come from the player himself and I wonder if there is any genuine interest from Emery?
Other thoughts Mustafi and Monreal to depart and be replaced?
I have a feeling Welbeck may be sold, as we have 2 top strikers for what is likely to be one role and again no news on a new contract.

It was someone we know well gunner in the SWITZERLAND v Sweden game, he does eagle shadows quite well. Lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jul 2018 16:48:54
Xhaka.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jul 2018 17:01:57
Well done stephen, did you get it on the fake bit or eagle shadows. Lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jul 2018 18:30:31
I only saw the highlights of the Sweden Switzerland game last night which was about 3 or 4 minutes long, I didn't hear Xhaka name mentioned once during the commentary so I guessed it was either the bbc editing Xhaka best bits or he had a really bad game.
I don't think the world cup made any difference to Xhaka reputation as those who loved him before still love him now and those who couldn't see anything in him before still feel the same way about him.
I guess he's going to continue to be one of those marmite players for a bit longer yet.

But he's ours gunner and Dick is going to pull a rabbit out of the hat with him. If he does, he desreves a statue.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jul 2018 21:37:40
Both Steve.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jul 2018 17:47:43
To me you and others Steve Dick will deserve a row of statues if he can make a player out of Xhaka but to others Xhaka is already a player and it's only his degree of brilliance that can be improved on.
I don't get it but equally those who rate him don't understand my view either.
Just when it looked like Arsene leaving would give us fans a chance to unite together again Xhaka has become the new Arsenal fan base deviding point.
If only he could split a defence as well and as often as he can split our fan base, then he really would be a some player;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Gunner, what ever arsenal fans think, every opposition fan thinks he's shat. Every pundit thinks he's limited to put it mildly and i'm still waiting myself to see what he actually brings to a game. But i predict many statues, in fact xhaka is already doing a good impression. Come on Dick, do your best.
