Season 2014/15
 

Just in time for the new season! let's hope it stays interesting as long as last year.

Somehow l cannot see this happening.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Not at that price anyway, probably not even for half that cash.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And this is one of the problems l think MU will have because clubs know there are looking for big signing's and will quote their transfer prices accordingly.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Not a chance at that price. If Ronnie went for £80m and Suarez is being quoted for around the same figure then £60m for Pogba is ridiculous - he's good but not that good. It sound more like a taunt considering how he left and knowing that United need to spend big this year.

Arsenal were never really in the hunt for Eto. He wouldn't have ended up at Everton if Arsenal were really interested. I don't mean to say that disrespectfully.

You must be worried about the lack of transfer activity at your club bud.

It already risks being a toxic start to next season now. Arsenal better have some decent players lined up otherwise the place will be seething come August.

Spoke too soon as it seems #WengerOut is already trending on Twitter. Football fans are such utter children sometimes.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I'm annoyed. Especially because of the fact that top quality depth has been the main reason why Arsenal have done soo poorly in recent years. It isn't just lifting trophies but winning against the elite sides. Depth is soo important. I'm not '#WengerOut' because there is still time for something to happen.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

People only have so much patience Damien. Look at Arsenal fans in January, were in line for a treble and only ended up with the FA Cup. Whilst it is a trophy, had they not crashed like they did Arsenal would most likely be champions now.

Most other Top 4 clubs sack managers when not winning trophies (Chelsea and Man City spring to mind), so for Arsenal to stick with Wenger has only increased expectations in my view.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

what will they do with the extra money? buy much needed super duper quality depth ?

Perhaps they did not want to match his wages that Chelsea were offering him.

Not possible. Arsenal didn't even bid. They declined when offered the clause of first refusal to buy-back. Fabregas confirmed this in his statement...

Yes he would be a nice signing.:)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yeah most Arsenal fans wish Sagna well. Class act.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Arsenal becoming very much a feeder club for Man City it seems.;)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Tend to agree. The cost of wages is offset by no fee.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

It just beggars belief that they have let players go in the positions that they need to bolster, not weaken. I heard rumours that Wenger is planning to splash the majority of the budget on buying Balotelli! Don't see him as an Arsenal player myself.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I'd rather see him at arsenal than man city :)

And i think man city gets some of the transfer fee, if arsenal do get him

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Balotelli won't be going to Arsenal as generally Arsene likes to shop for bargains and younger players.

Arsenal are looking to appease their fans who are quite unhappy that they did not bid for Cesc by bidding for players like Bressan and in getting Vela back.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Is he going to be zabaleta's back up or is zabaleta going to be played at left back, means no place for clichey of course, it's an obscene amount of wages for one of them who won't be a regular starter, still I'm sure getting rid of micha will in someway make it all justifiable.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

banned for not co-operating with investigation into 2018 and 2022 bids.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Balotelli is young :confused:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Sagna can play CB. It is good investment. Sagna can play across the backline.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes, I was surprised. Wasted talent. He must have enough money not to worry about working

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Nope. Wenger likes to reform people.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He will have his work cut out trying to reform such a renowned hothead.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I don't think theres much it in to be honest but yes, Wenger will definitely have his work cut out if Mario finds himself at loggerheads with Arsenal.

l have to admit TD that l agree totally with you but sadly Brendan does not think the same way.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

fair enough if he wants to be a certain starter but has he been given that at Chelsea? I doubt it.
