team arsenal 2011/12

szescney

sagna jagielka vermaelen enrique

song wilshere

walcott nasri
van persie

defoe

subs ramsey, gibbs, fabianski, chamakh, arshavin, djorou

personally i think the sale of fabregas would do the team well sell him for 40 mil to barcelona
buy jagielka 15m everton
buy defoe 7m spurs
buy enrique 8m newcastle.
very good business
with the 10 mil left over buy oxlade-chamberlain

Whats the latest with Kevin Phillips possibly
going to Walsall?

It wont happen, people keep saying he's coming as a player/coach but smithy has said numerous times he doesnt want an assistant and has all the coaches he needs.
-----------------------------------------------
Yes Deano dont want a assistant, but is a coach a assistant? Deano has not mentioned anything about coaches.

I doubt Phillips will happen, just wanted to say what was wrong with your reply.

Qpr to kick off with virtually same team who gained promotion. Neil Warnock has no money to spend all he was offered at the end of last season was that he did not need to SELL PLAYERS. Any new signings have to be loan or frees on 1 year contract.

Lee Bowyer is very close to completing a move to Ipswich Town and will immediately be named as club captain.

He has exactly the right attitude and outlook that the club needs.

Ipswich are also looking to get rid of Peters, Scotland, Edwards and Ellington


peters maybe if jewell brings in new rb
scotland yes
edwards no as good utility player
ellington no as he just signed and jewell is the guy to get the best of him

so maybe 2/4

04 Jul 2011 20:58:46
After the unveiling of Watford's new striker Bernard Mensah at Vicarage Road today, a figure resembling Malky MacKay was seen sprinting through the allotments behind The Rookery. Expect a bid from cardiff for Bernard before the week is out.

Bristol City intrested in Chris Lines but the Rovers player is not intrested as is happy at the bigest and oldest club in bristol

We only wanted him as a ball boy but after the initial interview we realised that he was under qualified.

04 Jul 2011 19:53:34
Thomas cruise from arsenel is a likely signing because his mate ayling is persuading him. also steven brooker and lee trundle look like a posible strike force. Which means andy williams trundle and brooker and maybe someone else such as feeney or le fondre. Are back 4 looks likely to be alcock Huntington N gala and ayling Keeper will be hendo, weale or fon Williams and our midfield will be anysiah, wotton, lines/ lee Johnson and finally super gav as lm Tbh that's a quality team mid table

You couldnt sign Penelope Cruz.

burnley fc , what does utc stand for ?? {Ed003's Note - Iv'e just told you}

04 Jul 2011 19:42:22
expect a frantic week most teams back for pre season before the tours kick in.

utd to shed

evens - everton
gibson - sunderland
brown - sunderland
anderson-benfica
nani-real madrid
berbi-germany with 3 concidering

and perhaps a few more fringe players

in

modric 32mil
rodwell-20 mil


also just a thought to make the league a fairer place what about a draft for best youngsters every 2 or 3 years with lowest place team getting first pick it would mean a organasation sorting it out but teams could pay towards running it then they could earn money from selling on a few years later perhaps it could be a european thing.

thoughts or better idea's please

Yes better idea. keep off here dreamer.

Fxxx you.no thoughts wonder who you support at least i think about football in genaral and not just a selfish txxx who would rather see same old top 4 or 5 with only chance of getting up there is with a sugar daddy

Jack Collison will this week sign a three year contract with Swansea City after they had a bid of around £10 million accepted for the Wales midfieder/

Swansea have a budget to spend net £12m on players. With £3.5 already gone on Graham anothe £1m on a spanish Barcelona B striker called siriano? we do not have enough coffers in the bank to buy Collison..more is the pitty. We will get a couple of goalkeepers and another defender and that will be our lot. We will have a team good enough to stay up
Goalkeeper = Loach
Rangel, Williams, Caulker, bertrand.
Dyer, Bodde, Dobbie, Allen, Sinclair
Graham
Subs AN Other goalkeeper, Monk, Taylor, Gower, Soriano, Vorsah, Tate, Moore...any extras would be great but unlikely?

04 Jul 2011 18:33:37

How funny even if Leeds are the bigger club. CMS doesn't think he wants a club with a future that doesn't live on past glories Go on gus keep up the good work

Trust me all these players will sign. Mackail Smith won't go to brighton because leeds are the bigger club and have alot of money (3rd richest) in England and have alot of history. Cork will join because he can be paided more at leeds than southampton and Burnley. Smithies will easily join as he is guarenteed first team goalie and because huddersfield are bad. And surman loves leeds so he won't hesitate at the chance of joining

Smithies would never join the scum you cant afford him anyway your potless

Small club, small stadium, small town. Big heads.

04 Jul 2011 18:05:19
John Bostock to sign for Leicester to link up with Neil Danns for £1.5m {Ed025's Note - danns will do well for leicester..i expect them to make the play-offs.

Why Bostock. ..He has an attitude problem, he isnt developing, i dont think he would be a very good signing for you.

04 Jul 2011 17:48:33
Doubt it would be a loan , he is in the last year of contract.

BTW is it not about time Norwich had their own rumours page?

They have, it is Norwich Rumours.

Haha can we ban it.

04 Jul 2011 17:49:49
After the signing of Craig Mackail-Smith for 2.8 million from peterborough untied to Brighton And Hove Albion Gus Poyet sais he is ready to build on his midfield by getting Henri Lansbury for 2.5 million from arsenal and Kazenga Lualua from Newcastle United.

Also Gus Poyet said he would sign 3 experiance premier league palyers and they are Sol Cambell and also Lee Bowyer both are free agents, and the other is Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspurs for 3.5 Million

What a prat you are, Lansbury is in talks with Norwich city, You can have CMS he's a good Lg 1 player and will be ok when you go back down, Teams Like QPR and Norwich saw through the Big gob Fry's price Hyking and said in March you can stuff it

04 Jul 2011 16:45:29
Ken Bates WANTS leeds Utd to go bust so he can redevelop stadium for shopping mall, My Leeds Utd are a LAUGHING stock now
Leeds till i die...

Well you do play football like Tescos.

04 Jul 2011 16:42:55
Grayson to leave post, as Leeds can't afford him....Snodgrass, gradel, somma, and others all to go..
Leeds will look at 11 new players from Southern leagues

04 Jul 2011 16:32:42
can i just say everyone is saying leeds need a new starting 11, well we kind of do with a lot of clubs taking and being 'linked' with are players
snoody-norwich
gradel-west ham
kasper-lesta
killa-bristol city
johnson-norwich
paddy-palace
becchio-swansea

they are all examples of people either wanting to take are players or already taking our players, so everyone can just shut up saying leeds has a crap team :)

04 Jul 2011 15:53:18
Scouser is walking down the high street in Croydon when he sees a video entitled "Liverpool The Glory Years" in the window display of a chairty shop.
He goes in and says to the assistant: "Eh ar kid, ow much for the 'Pool video like?"
the assistant replies: "£100."
"That's a bit steep innit la?, the lovable cheeky scamp asks, "ow come its dat dear soft lad?"
"Well," the assistant says, "it's £1 for the tape and £99 for the Betamax player."

It turns out it's not just MP's expenses that are being investigated now,
Aparently the cleaner at Liverpool FC has been claiming for silver polish for the last 6 years

Love the cleaner one haha

Here's another one:

Q: What does a Livepool fan do after winning the premiership ?

A: He turns off his PS3 and goes to dinner

Its great laughing at the poor deluded liverpool fans, keep them coming....

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz at least have new jokes my grandad told me them

Liverpool are just one big joke. Kenny is a clown for signing carthorse carroll and jordan 'who are ya' henderson

04 Jul 2011 15:47:22
Turning down contract negotiations with Billy Sharp? Billy Sharp rejected going to Southampton cos they are a S*H*I*T* club

Leeds probably aren't the third richest club in Yorkshire any more, never mind England. You're not famous any more.

Leeds? What have you to offer anybody decent? Nothing. All you sign is trailer trash.

04 Jul 2011 13:27:06
Google it if you doubt it

9. Glazer family (Manchester United) £1.53bn
10. Bernie Ecclestone (QPR) £1.4bn {Ed025's Note - you forgot....bill kenwright (everton)...£7.50.

Yes thats how much the owners are worth , now google how much the clubs are worth , and its a very different story and thats why uefa are bringing in new rules , clubs like chelsea and city are spending more money than they actually have .

Owner contribution to club as of 2010:

1. Sheikh Mansour (Man City) - £493m
2. Lakshmi Mittal (QPR) - not known
3. Alisher Usmanov (Arsenal) - nil
4. Roman Abramovich (Chelsea) - £739m

Let me point out a couple of things to you -

Craig Mackail Smith Joining Brighton -www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/football-league/championship/8779/8/exclusive-brighton-win-mackail-smith-race

So Leeds are the 3rd richest club in England behind Chelsea, and Man City.....aren't you forgetting the multi-billionaire owners at QPR (I'm no QPR fan by the way) as well as a whole host of other Premier League teams.

Surman loves Leeds? Yeah, he might like the city, but he is a player who won't drop down a division to play with the Lillywhites

Leeds Signings:

GK Alex Smithies Huddersfield 1 Million
LB Alex Pearce Bournemouth Free
CB Al Haed {Spelling} Brighton 500,000
CB Jose Fonte Southampton 1 Million
RB Daniel Fox Burnley 1 Million
LM Andrew Surman Norwich 1 Million
CM Jack Cork Chelsea 600,000 He won't go to burnley or southampton
CM Neil Danns Cyrstal Palace Free
RM Michael Antonio Reading Free
ST Craig Mackail Smith Peterbrough 1.5 Million
ST Nathan Tyson Derby Free

----------

Fox is LB not RB and Cork will go Burnley"

------------
Neil Danns is now at Leicester....... Mackail-Smith for a) £1.5mill your having a laugh, and b) he's on the verge of joining Leicester
--------------------------
Plus hasn't Tyson just signed for Derby.
So many errors here its unbelievable
---------------------------------------
And Bournemouth do not have a left back called Alex Pearce the only Pearce we have is Jason and he has gone to Portsmouth and the only LB left in the club is Warren Cummings
So theres another error

Na these are all true. Macel Smith will join us for that price because leeds have such a good history. All of these players will join.

We also might get a few loans in like Kyle Walker and Phil Jones because they can't get in the first team and because they would be part of leeds history
------------------------
You are deluded. I suggest you see a psychiatrist.
Leeds are not a big club, you definetely won't sign 90% of those players. Smithies 1m? Joke. Mackail-Smith is going Leicster. Fox is a LB. Cork to Burnley where he's already settled and Surman to turn down PL Football? Nope, nope, nope. {Ed002's Note - Mackail Smith will be completing his move to Brighton today.}

Trust me all these players will sign. Mackail Smith won't go to brighton because leeds are the bigger club and have alot of money (3rd richest) in England and have alot of history. Cork will join because he can be paided more at leeds than southampton and Burnley. Smithies will easily join as he is guarenteed first team goalie and because huddersfield are bad. And surman loves leeds so he won't hesitate at the chance of joining

You make all these Southampton fans look realistic...

04 Jul 2011 11:48:42
Chelsea to win premiership
Birmingham to win Championship
Charlton to win league 1
League 2 is anyone's

Discuss?

For chelsea to win the premiership they are gonna need to improve, new signings are needed, the manager has to control the egos at the club, the team has to gel, but new signings will mean some have to go, the new uefa rules means clubs can only spend what they have, and when you have a wage bill that takes up all the clubs revenue, it could cause a problem, so depending on how chelsea manage all this , depends on how well they do.

So? what a waste of time that was.

04 Jul 2011 10:27:52
Dont understand constant moans about Arsene Wenger. Arsenal have a best bank balance, best stadium, best young english players in years in Walcot & Wilshere, best footballing team in Prem and champions league football every year. Would take that any day

leeds fan {Ed025's Note - some people...just love to moan

Hahaha. Say no more.

But wouldnt you like a trophy??

I think that shut them up.

04 Jul 2011 08:56:08
rumours are abound that track supserstar Usain Bolt (as reported a few weeks ago in the press is a keen footbaler and is good enough to turn pro) has been handed a trial at oldham by paul dickov.
If agreed Bolt should be unveiled alongside the new satadium on the new site in Rochdale.

04 Jul 2011 07:36:01
charlie adam is so average , he makes carrick look good .

NOTHING would make Carrick look good

Playing in a midfield along side henderson, lucas, and adam would

Really? haha that midfield is nothing, so that proves my point.

Anybody who thinks C*****e A**m is rubbish has just disqualified themselves from having a serious opinion on footballing matters.Perhaps they should take up a keen following of knitting or something.

If Adam is involved maybe get interested in rugby.

04 Jul 2011 01:06:01
love how people are saying craig bellamy is going to blackburn, fulham ect when he stated himself he only wants too go to cardiff and is willing to play for free for them

Bellamy is magic he wears the magic hat and when he sings for cardiff he said i fancy that, he didnt sing for celtic becaause ledley said their s**te , he singed for cardiff city cause were dynamite

04 Jul 2011 00:33:15
sunderland (man united reserves) to sign o'shea and gibson and pretty much any one who has played for united

O, shea and brown would certainly improve sunderlands defence tho i can, t understand why he hasn, t bought onura as he is versatile and consistent
