The guy domminated the midfield vs Juventus, Madrid, Barcelona and Athletico.


Nah. Not elite. Any peasant can do that right ?
Only peasants make up facts to prove a point.

When did he dominate barca? Sevilla got hammered in every encounter with Barca this season.


Spanish Super cup vs Barca : they lost 2-0 and his WS rating was 6.2
La Liga vs Barca : 1-2 and his WS rating was 6.2
La Liga vs barca: 0-3 and his WS rating was 6.6

One good game against Juve and hammered in the second
One good game against ATM and hammered in the second
Same against Lester and against Madrid. Unless you consider losing 2-0, 3-1 and 4-1 games in which he dominated the midfield. And iirc his good game against us was facing up against the great Lemina, Asamoah and khedira midfield and got rightly spanked when we fielded our starters.


So dominating Barca's midfield is just a flat out lie. And the rest are half truths. Oh and I am not denying that he might have had a very good season. But to say that he is an elite player and that anyone who doesnt see him as elite is clueless is just :lol:

Yeah, playing in 2 CL finals in 3 seasons, means we can't win CL without a higher grade of players...

We beat Real Madrid that season, we completely smashed Barca and Monaco this season.

One bad-half, and yes, it was just one (as we were in clear control in the first half), and people are acting like we're a mile away again from winning the CL, and somehow need a massive squad upgrade.

We need minor tweaks here and there, and better options off the bench in attack and midfield. But our starting XI this year was as good as any in football.
We will keep facing these same high caliber teams in CL and its not bad luck both finals with ease, just not good enough, soundly dispatched with twice. So we need to actively improve our quality to match or keep up with them improving, and yeah that requires higher grade players. It's not a good enough consolation to be the best of the rest, we need to do everything possible to take that extra step to become dog winners.


No excuses imo. Not bashing, but just reality check, we done wonderful job up til now, but it's not enough and we need to get there with more game changing quality, better weapons in our overall squad Arsenal.

Let me get this straight.

N'zonzi cant have domminated the midfield if :

- WS score isnt high.
- Barcelona won the game

And

1-2 is getting smashed



This is why no one takes you serious Hist.

All we needed against Madrid is the bench to have allowed our starters to play 90 minutes instead of 45.

You and PI are basically saying the same. Fix the midfield and get more decisive options from the bench.

How can Samp sell their players for so much money?

Last year:
14m - Soriano
13m - Correa
12.5m - Fernando
10m - Eder
6m - Rizzo
6m - Duncan

They bought for the money some huge talents for low prices:
10m - Praet (Pricy)
6m - Bruno Fernandes (already had good name at Udinese)
4m - Schick
2.7m - Quagliarella (big name)
1m - Skriniar

This year:
Selling al the new youngsters for 10 times the price they bought.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it here, but that is some good business. Especially because Sampdoria is not flying high in table like Atalanta did this year.

Samp sure do a great job, but imo they sell their top players pretty cheap, even Schick for €25-30m isn't THAT much for a talent like him in todays market. €14m for Soriano isn't much either.

It is a huge attraction factor however. Join a team that wont be a bitch when they sell you on.


Imagine going to Palermo and have zampi the insane fuck as a director. i'd rather go to Tanger
