Exactly how many games have you seen Aspas play?

Cissokho > Monreal.


Considering that Enrique > Cissokoh, and Monreal > Enrique, how the hell did you come up with that?

Surely you're taking the piss right?

Right?


Right????

And Aspas over Theo or Santi, just wow.

So none. Ok.

But that's because you're an arsenal fan. And as an arsenal fan you're delusional.

We all know 6 months of form for Arsenal is better than consistent form over 4 years for other clubs. Look at Samir Nasri.

One player is consistently in the Spain squad and rated by people who watch Spanish football regularly as Spains best defensive left back (although Alba is much better overall)

The other is Jose Enrique :lol: :lol:

Would not take Cissokho over Gibbs or Monreal. There is a reason that Lyon sold him for a 3rd of what they paid for him and why Valencia are letting him go on loan.

If he wasn't that good he wouldn't have played 25 games for them last season. And started Lyon's first two games before Valencia bought him.

47 times in a 38 game season. Wow! I know he's a special player but I had no idea he was that amazing.

You clearly understand what I mean, but if you want me to refer to just league games then Andy Carroll took the field for Liverpool FC in the season of 2011-2012 35 times in the league in a 38 game season.

:lol: hook line and sinker. The stats I quoted for Cissokho were league only. He still played in 39 games last season. And if we're honest, Carroll isn't a bad player. He's just unfortunate to have been caught in changing styles in the game, combined with being told to lose weight it interfered with his style of play and cost him a lot of kudos.

I think Cissokho can be a success at Liverpool ane get back to his best form that saw him linked to Barcelona.

He is back in full training now. He will be involved this season in the first-team squad. Hopefully very soon because he's now getting fit.

Flamini looks set to sign on a free apparently. I've come around this this signing, wasn't happy with the idea of it a month or so ago but the more I think about it the better a signing it seems.

No brainier given that it's on a free. Guess it means we won't be getting any big signings like Bender or Fellaini though... But with the re-emergence of Ramsey It's not a big deal.

Just really need a world class striker. Unfortunately I just can't see Madrid selling Benzema for a reasonable fee, even if they bring someone else in like Suarez.

Nobody is selling anyone for reasonable fees these days unfortunately.
The values are obscene when you think about it.

Just thinking, if we could finish the window bringing in Benzema, Di Maria, Flamini, Micah Richards and Julio Cesar, would we call the end result a resounding success?

Would be happy with Flamini +1 of them. Figure if I expect nothing, everything will be a bonus :lol:

For me, Richards/Williams/Alderwield+Flamini+ one of Di Maria/Benzema would be a good window.

Yeah all I'm expecting is Flamini and one more. Would be over the moon with Flamini, Richards and Benzema. Adding Cesar to that would do untold damage to my heart :lol:

I still don't see the need for a keeper tbh. I love Szcez

If di maria came in what would that mean for Ox and Walcott?

Edit: but yeah, a transfer window of Flamini, Benzema & Richards is successful IMO, particularly with the resurgence of Rambo and Giroud getting more comfortable.

Less time in the window, less time to negotiate. It'll be more of a case of pay up, or miss out.


Unless of course a player forces a move.

Can also work two ways. When RM buy Bale, they'll be needing to get a bit of money come back in. If they hold on too late, they could be stuck with someone they wanted to cash in on
