Arsenal open chats with Pato, Woop!

Believable13 Unbelievable32

Why pato! I keep hearing that he's out of form and is injury prone! He is also getting on is he not? Why sign an older player for high amounts on them accords for say 2 years.

Where did you source this info?

Agree0 Disagree0

Where u get this info from ?

Agree0 Disagree0

Nvm my post on his age i didn't realize he was 22!

Agree0 Disagree0

I Was About To Say Lool It's An Easy Mistake To Make Most People Foeget Walcott Is 22. Alot Of Teams Don't Know How To Handle Young Players So They Appear Poor And Injury Prone. Similar Thing Happened To Podolski At Bayern, This Is Why Wenger Is Being Careful With Ox

Agree0 Disagree0

No signature and just another anon off the cuff comment.

Cite your source...

United in for Goetze, i bet they'll sign him.

Believable15 Unbelievable28

Why is this in the Arsenal rumours bit? - Beside they're "Debt United" they won't sign him.

=Miss Arsenal {Ed002's Note - Manchester UNited are cash rich.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed. That is a myth; they're falling further behind their deficit with every purchase they make/attempt to make.

=Miss Arsenal {Ed002's Note - What are you talking about? The debt is in bonds and is not only being managed but being reduced every year. Read the accounts and you will also see they are sitting on a very large amount of cash.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Which is why Papa Glazer was panicking 3 months ago; considering trying to bail out of the club? 0__o {Ed002's Note - No. The Glazer's were and still are looking to float part of the club on the Singapore stock exchange. You seem to have no grasp of football finances at all.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol or you just believe what the media tells you. In September exactly what I said above is what happened.

Agree0 Disagree0

Loool u lot, all i know man utd can sign anyone their depth dont mean anything... ed is correct

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly. And why would they sign Sneijder for 35-40m when they could sign Goetze for the same price and keep him for five years more?

Agree0 Disagree0

People need to realise Man U have more than enough money to sign anyone they want. We are in the same position as them but with less cash and less debt because of the stadium. Just because someone is in debt does not mean they do not have the cash to make signings. Its like any other business and as long as United keep paying their interest (which they are) then they will keep operating. There banks that gave them the loans are making sh*t loads of money out of it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with Eds
United will always find the Money, so will Barca, Madrid etc

Expect Arsene Wenger to sign Marco Reus and Oliver Giroud in January
Oliver Giroud is a classy player..a tall higuain and Benzema combined to replace Chamakh
If Marco Reus is not signed Podolski will be signed

Lucho

Believable30 Unbelievable19

Both have been in good form so far this season, and imo will be great attacking buys :D

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal need four signings in January a forward, winger full back and a back up keeper (almunia, mannone and fabianski are good enough to play pub league) or they will struggle through the tail end of the season, and in the summer they need to consider a bog change with the coaching staff as they dint seem upto the good anyone agree?

Believable18 Unbelievable7

Could not disagree more. Especially with regards to backroom staff. Stability is the most important aspect for the club at the moment. I do think Podolski would be a good addition to the club with pore tally Arshavin going back the other way but the youth players in the pipeline are more than enough to take the team back to the title.

Agree0 Disagree0

Podolski not the player arsenal need at all he's just another bentner need a player like soldado need a new defence coach and attacking coach without rvp where would we be now, same with schezney and vermaulen the coaches aren't doing there job and helping progress talents like gervinho and chamakh and arshavin, and defending set pieces is still a problem that they can't seem to solve they've had there chance and need to bring in people who can solve theses problems

Agree0 Disagree0

I find this post funny. We need a new defensive coach, yet we have 6 clean sheets and have only conceded 9 goals since beginning of October. Have you been watching the games?
Ibster

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh since vermaulen came back lose him say goodbye to the cleansheets

Agree0 Disagree0

Theres only 1 player for me and thats the hulk he would give hell to any defence
mark wexford

Agree0 Disagree0

Very true and I would love to see that but can you see arsenal forking out 25-30 million on 1 player I think I biggest ever signing was arshavin and that was like 15 mil good idea but can't see it

Agree0 Disagree0

Would buy Podolski , Samba and Vorm as he has been in form all season for Swansea and definately one of the best goalkeepers in PL

Agree0 Disagree0

Hulk is overated he plays in 1 of the worst leagues ever we need chris samba edin hazard and podolski then maybe win something again

Agree0 Disagree0
