You know what Rooney is top of my list that i wished Arsene should have signed.

09 Jul 2017 22:01:48
What year lol.

09 Jul 2017 22:14:07
If he gets off to a good start at Everton I expect a lot more of these posts :-)
Atleast youve said it before a ball was kicked mate.

09 Jul 2017 23:23:35
Hg I think he still has a lot to offer everton for two years. Still a very good footballer and he's been wearing everton pajamas for yhe last 13 years, aaahhh.

10 Jul 2017 07:12:55
Absolutely no idea why any Premier League side would buy that extra large jacket potato.

The guys been shot since 2012.

Only a few days ago photographed at a McDonalds drive through.

10 Jul 2017 08:30:06
A MacDonalds drive through?
Wow I've heard of players going clubbing after a defeat or even drinking the night before a game and I've even heard of players arranging secret midweek nights on the town without the clubs permission but a McDonald's drive through you say!
It's not exactly the worst thing a footballer could get up to in the close season Stoner mate :-)

10 Jul 2017 10:28:25
He left Everton, comes back 13 years later with more hair on his head 😁.

10 Jul 2017 10:33:15
When you're buying 15 Big Macs, 4 portions of chips 24 sweet chilli chickens wraps, 7 large cokes and 11 cream egg McFlurries it's not good.

If he got fit and didn't eat shizzle all day long he'd be an athlete but he's doesn't and he's not.

You give Wilshere stick for being similarly unprofessional but it's ok for fat boy?

10 Jul 2017 10:55:58
Did he really buy and eat all that himself mate? :-)
If so I agree with you 100% but if not he's just a bloke having a McDonald's which I'm sure 100s if not 1000s of footballers do and worse during the season let alone during the summer break.
I'm not Rooney's biggest fan and I wouldn't take him to the next world cup as I don't think he's ever been any good for England at a finals since Portugal 2004 but let's be sensible about it.
KfC or pizza hut I'd be with you get him on an fa charge immediately but a McDonald's? :-)

10 Jul 2017 11:37:55
62,

I was a fan, although not a happy one when he was causing us all sorts of problems in his hay day.

Trouble is he's never looked after himself, back when he was team mates with Ronaldo you could see both having glittering careers but where Ronaldo stepped up Rooney fell back.

Ronaldo as part of his regime doesn't drink, that's just a small sacrifice, if part of Rooney's was not to eat so much junk maybe he would still be playing at a much better level. It doesn't help that he's thicker than a whale omelette though.

Thus has he simply been brought for what he can offer off the pitch more than on it?

10 Jul 2017 13:46:26
I'm not sure how Rooney will react to the move back to Everton mate maybe he will have one final burst of brilliance for a season or 2 or maybe he will just move straight into retirement mode and live off his past, time will tell.
I think all pros have a more professional attitude off the pitch now days long gone are the 14 pints after the game days, Ronaldo is the exception to the rule though most players don't have his attitude and dedication 24/ 7 most enjoy a drink now and then and I'm sure the odd Macy D too :-)

09 Jul 2017 20:40:04
Malaga Iam not getting into one of your childish my dads bigger than yours arguments if you don't like what I post do what I do with yours pi@@ myself laughing at your rumours and wipe the tears of laughter away and carry on scrolling down nite nite.

09 Jul 2017 22:24:44
Weyyyyyyy.

09 Jul 2017 19:34:23
Getting a bit fed up of all the Wenger this Wenger that posts and the season hasn't started yet bloody shocking we have just spent 50m on a player we have needed since Henry left and people are slating Wenger it's always the same two wish there was a block button.

09 Jul 2017 19:51:50
I wish there was a block button for your posts.

09 Jul 2017 19:56:29
That will teach you for going on other sites Jelfy because I haven't seen any Arsene out posts since he signed his new contract mate.
Sure your not just bored and looking for something to spark up a bit of a debate?

09 Jul 2017 20:09:14
Replace TH14 ✅
Replace PV4 ❌
Replaced Robbie or Freddie ❌
Refound speed of counter attack ❌
Refound discipline in shape and mentality ❌
Addressed slowness in transfer market ✅


Still a long way to go and not as bad as we make out

Still believe in Wenger and the window has only been open a short while and looks like we have learned our lessons.

Victory through harmony - fans, manager and players! COYG.

09 Jul 2017 20:37:28
Gunners 62 I never said anything about Wenger out posts just people saying about him and his contract he should have left and moaning about transfers read my post please and Malaga your one 🖕🏻😂.

09 Jul 2017 20:37:57
Well said sy4.

09 Jul 2017 21:43:49
You are correct Jelfy you didn't mention Arsene out posts my mistake and I apologize for that.
But still think your stirring things up where there has been in general relative peace over Arsene.
I get it that you back him 100% regardless of what happens but let's just all accept we don't all see things the way you do.
Last season was dominated by Arsene in out debate but is now done and dusted let's talk about something else other than Arsene like! Er Arsenal football club :-)

09 Jul 2017 21:56:39
I don't agree with arsene on a few things but I'll back him 100% as I support arsenal football club and as for stirring I just hate my club being slatted.

09 Jul 2017 22:01:27
Let's just get bhind our club 100% no matter what happens.

09 Jul 2017 22:25:22
Gunner some people can't accept people have opinions that may be different to theirs and that's a shame to this site. Well said malaga.

09 Jul 2017 22:45:47
Well said gunner. You are spot on.

09 Jul 2017 23:25:01
You can always use the thumbs down icon to let people know how you feel man 😝.

09 Jul 2017 23:41:58
Sano, I've had the thumbs taken off. I suggested to an ed who will remain nameless that people where abusing them and mine disappeared. I don't see their purpose anyway. If you don't agree, say why you don't agree or agree.

10 Jul 2017 07:59:21
I've just thumbs downed you Steve for no other reason apart from it getting on your titties 👎🏻👎🏻.

10 Jul 2017 08:46:29
Has anyone ever thought some people might thumbs up thier own posts sometimes many times :-)
Ive seen posts get lots oa sudden burst of agrees soon after posting only to receive a steady stream of disagrees throughout the day :-)
Makes you think doesn't it :-)

10 Jul 2017 09:21:09
Yep I'm one of those guys G62 👍🏻.

09 Jul 2017 15:11:33
Nice seeing Rooney back in blue. He looks younger in the blue than he did in the red of united.

09 Jul 2017 15:34:07
A bit fatter in blue than red. He should have gone to a team with stripes. lol.

09 Jul 2017 15:45:01
Suit you sir.

09 Jul 2017 16:04:30
Sano he probably put his new rug on for the photo too.

09 Jul 2017 23:32:15
By the way I hadn't even seen him until just now and I have got to say I was wrong. Them new everton shirts will sell like wildfire, they must have a girdle in them to pull the stomach in. Great inovation.

09 Jul 2017 11:53:46
Forgive me if I am wrong here but arsenal football club, this year will generate revenues of about 350 mil or more. let's get this into perspective, players are greedy because the clubs are too and greed breeds greed. The reason we have top players demanding huge amounts for their services is because at the other end we have players on obscene money for litterally turning up and doing nothing. Its called greed and it won't get better.

09 Jul 2017 18:52:39
And the same people who pay for their greed are the people who feed it, the fans
Ultimately all the money comes from the fans whether it's through turnstile shirt sales TV or advertising its all paid for by the same fans who demand top players at all costs.
Football is currently very lucrative business.

09 Jul 2017 19:18:45
Start a Stand Up for Fans campaign - boycott sky, BT, shirt sales and the stadium. That will teach them.

09 Jul 2017 20:54:42
Movie stars earn an absolute fortune for their obvious talent and a few months work. Musicians earn an absolute fortune for their obvious talent and a few months work. To be honest I don't see too many people outside cinemas or music venues protesting over these wages, so I don't see why we should worry about what footballers earn for their obvious talent. I won't be boycotting anything, and even better, as someone from east London I love that a lot of footballers earning a fortune are not part of the privileged set, but boys from working class backgrounds, so I am more than happy for them to get the maximum from the system, as sadly, even in 2017, this doesn't happen often enough for people who go through comprehensive type education.

09 Jul 2017 22:29:01
The money is astronomical and so are players demands to suit. You are right gunner we do fund it and we all feel we can have a say because of that.

09 Jul 2017 10:45:42
We talk a lot about new players - what about exits?

I really want Giroud to stay as a front two of him and Lacazette will be great against certain sides. I would have liked Sanchez and Lacazette also but settle for Mbappe and Lacazette!

I don't get excited about either Danny or Theo up front with Lacazette as a front two or Perez and Lacazette. yet I hear a lot about Giroud leaving. He's the one I want to keep!

Thoughts?

09 Jul 2017 05:40:46
Reading that Arsenal would be willing to sell
Sanchez to City for 80 million. Now I understand that's a rumour but at the end of the day Arsenal seem to be getting it.
He's one of the Premier Leagues best players so looking around at what some of the players have been sold for I would say
80 million is a good starting point although I would rather him go abroad. But probably Arsenal have slapped this price tag on him to put off potential buyers. What do you say Ed? .

{Ed001's Note - there is no good price for selling your best player when you are looking to improve, unless you have a potentially better player waiting to take his place. Otherwise, you are not doing anything bar going backwards.}

09 Jul 2017 07:43:55
Can't argue with that. That's why I said ages ago are we
replacing or improving? . I'm being a bit flippant there as you probably well know and I agree with you there is no good price for selling your best player. This is why I say we riode our luck last season. and it's come round to bite us .
It was quite rightly said it's like "trying to bolt the stable door after the horse has bolted".

09 Jul 2017 08:30:45
I think it's possible to lose your best player and use the money to make your team better, I'm not saying that's what will happen at Arsenal but it has and can be done else where so if is possible for us too.
Southampton in Keomans first season lost how many of their best players and went from strength to strength.

09 Jul 2017 09:09:09
G62
We are on a roll I agree with you too. We must be mellowing, lol.

09 Jul 2017 09:28:24
Sanchez is a great player - was he a winger or a striker?

I wish he would stay and partner Lacazette but he won't plus I don't think he holds his position enough.

We can improve and getting 80m gives us the resource to help improve.

We just got to get the players in and the right players to match our strategy

Lemar, Mbappe and Lacazette in = improvement even with no Sanchez

Lacazette only = improved goal scoring but a step backwards if Sanchez leaves.

09 Jul 2017 09:36:40
I like to thank of it as our own personal summer of love Welsh mate 🌼.

09 Jul 2017 10:04:35
Some good points SY4.
But if Sanchez stays is it to play for Arsenal or for the money.
He is one player, Arsene, the club, the fans made him from a Barcelona bench warmer to the player he is.
He wants to leave. I think we have three options
1 Sell him for as much as we can
2 Pay him the crazy amount
3 Run his contract down on the bench
For me option 3
If we pay him, every players agent will be knocking the door down.
Do we all really think he is worth it £400k it takes me years to earn that, not weeks or months, YEARS
We are a team, the best team wins the league.
Some will say selling your best players will weaken the team, yes, I agree, but I think he wants to go, So sell him and buy this Lemar (i know very little about him but a few of you he seem to like him)

09 Jul 2017 10:08:39
Sanchez for me has been our best post invincibles signing and it will be a shame to see him leave but it's almost certain he will leave.
Did Utd want to lose Ranaldo to Real? Absolutely not but they did and just carried on winning things without him and for all Sanchez fantastic qualities he isn't Ranaldo.
It's not about what happens it's about how you react to what happens that decides whether you go to bits or from also rans to contenders.
Just my view but if he goes don't get angry get better without him.

09 Jul 2017 10:19:19
Spot on G62.

09 Jul 2017 10:42:04
62 - that's been my point all along as I think if we react right, we can be a stronger team. If you take Sanchez's desire away as he falls out of love with AFC - what you got. He's a heart on your sleeve guy and I don't want a watered down Sanchez.
Take the 80m and invest well.
Shame really as will miss his energy, pace and special qualities.

09 Jul 2017 11:38:42
Selling your best players is not a show of strength, its a weakness. Especially to a rival. If we do it we will get what we deserve. The same way as, if you keep doing the same things, you get the same results. Ambitous clubs do not sell their best players, the keep them and add to them. Have we ever replaced vierra, no, have we ever replaced adams, no, have we ever replaced cole no. Did we benefit from selling rvp to man u, no. You don't let your best players go, unless you don't want to win anything. Sanchez was an 8 or 9 out of 10 last season, nearly every game. The nearest player to him over the sesson was probably a 6. I don't see how anyone can advocate selling your best player and keep your average players, unless you want average results. Sanchezs position and ozils come to that ( our second best player ) are down to the manager and the club. Disgraceful.

09 Jul 2017 11:38:51
Ultimately lads it's all about Arsenal for us and we shouldn't get preoccupied with any one player or any one opponent.
If Sanchez makes City of whoever stronger then that will hurt Chelsea Utd Liverpool Spurs and the other 19 premier league teams just as much as it will us.
Let everyone else worry about themselves and we should do exactly the same.
