[ENG] Premiership 2011/2012 (18 Viewers)

Wiki says Meireles went for £12 million.

I think Arsenal looks quite weak with those transfers. Arteta, seriously?

Chelsea looks stronger but they don't look as hard to beat as before. I think Villas Boas doesn't have players that fit his style. So I think Manchester United is stronger at this point, maybe even City.

Thanks Melo

EDIT: Gabriel too

Dusan, if you Google 'list of English football transfers summer 2011' it will throw up a wikipedia link showing them all, also works with other countries.

Oh, ok.

No offense Fred.

But the fact that Arsenal had to loan Benny on the last transfer day and replaced Fabregas with a 29 year old Arteta (who was handed a 4yr contract iirc) shows that the team has 0 ambition. Not to mention Park's transfer.

Fred knows that but a lot of people underestimate Arteta, the guy is really classy. He should do a fine job of bossing the midfield provided he has adequate cover.

 

[Gabriel]

I know, I've always rated the guy and he's classy but he's not half the player Fabregas is.

I don't think it shows a lack of ambition. They plugged a hole at the last minute, and he'll do damned well for them for a season or two. I'm not sure he's a worse player than Carrick from what I've seen of him. Sucks for Everton though - now there's a team who've run out of ambition.

I understand the problem at Arsenal is that whatever about transfer fees, the board aren't willing to adjust the wage structure to be competitive for the top players. Wenger is fighting them on it, but won't say a word to the press. If he loses, Arsenal are finished as a top four club. Nervous times for Fred and Arsenal fans.

Arteta could prove to be a good signing. The problem is his injury proneness.

Ouch. It's all about money though - they're skint. Or at least they were; it'll be interesting to see if they spend any of that Arteta money in January, especially if their form is poor.

@ the last line.

Tom Cruise, what the fuck?

Too bad he didn't make it. Would have preferred him over Gibbs and Traore just because of his name

He's a left back.

No offense Fred.

We always had zero ambition when it comes to the transfer market. If only we had made those signings last summer, it would have actually been a very good mercato. Maybe Nasri would have still been with us until now.

Fred knows that but a lot of people underestimate Arteta, the guy is really classy. He should do a fine job of bossing the midfield provided he has adequate cover.

I rate him, the guy is quality. But like so many people have said before me, the biggest concern is his injury record, players who never get injured in their lives come to Arsenal and become injury prone. God knows how long it will be before Arteta starts having those annoying niggling injuries.

The board are cheapskates that are ruining the club. Wenger isn't really helping matters though, when he spends all that money on getting us Oxlaide Chamberlain, Joel Campbell and Carl Jenkinson, instead of getting one good quality player in the 15-20M range. Wenger is just as guilty as the board in all of this.

Frédéric Weasley's in Wenger's place transfers:

Marvin Martin, Moussa Sissoko, Benoît Trémoulinas, Mamadou Sakho and Cristian Tello.

 

[Fred]

Eden Hazard!!

I'd pay over the odds for him. Give Lille an offer they can't refuse. He'll definitely be worth it. Bring Marvin Martin too, Sissoko has stagnated, Toulouse are ruining him, but i'd still take him. Sakho would be amazing, Trem i'm not so sure about, the guy can't really defend.

 

[Enron]

I was hoping Arsenal would by an English player.

Arsene Wenger's wife went into the bedroom this morning and said "wake up darling it's 9". He said "fuck me", have they scored again?

Stopped reading after Eden Hazard.
