El Indecido Me Molesta ,Si No Me Quiero Digame-Transfer Thread

slacker.

 

We still love you BigMan... The Arsenal forum would not be the same with you~ lol
By the way, seriously, England NT sucks and they younger crop U23 or 20's arent that good either!

 

I think they will do better than the current gen. Still better than usa with less than a quarter of the population and poor coaching/football association though

 

Blah, blah, blah... you have more talent than we do but what happened at the last world cup? We topped the group and you got second. Suck it

 

Wait really? I didn't know that. Is there no catchment area at all now or has it just been expanded?

Brazil is THE statistical anomaly. Name me another country with more than 80 million people that has won the World Cup.

There isn't one. On top of that, Italy's only won one less World Cup than Brazil, and has a population a fifth of Brazil's. Similar case can be made for Germany, Spain, Holland, Argentina, France, etc, etc.

If population was such a determinant in producing quality football players, we would expect that this would similarly be the case for other sports that the country plays right? In other words, Brazil should be consistently good at other sports because it's such a big country. But it's really not, apart from windsurfing and beach volleyball. The same point can be made for India and cricket. India is a case of the "biggest cricketing power in the world just happens to be the most populous cricketing nation" but it SUCKS at every other sport, apart from like field hockey. There's obviously something else at play here. Population size is a spurious variable.

Honestly, the fact that you had to state your point in such a convoluted way (I had to read "biggest football power in the world just happens to be the most populous footballing nation" a couple times) says it all.

Don't forget that football is the most popular spectator sport in China. They just suck at playing it.

 

So usa is better then? U scored a fluke goal and we fcuked up vs algeria. We got out the groups at the euro....holland didnt so are we better than them? We took italy to pens and they easily beat germany....are we better than them....suck it

 

the fa blackmailed the clubs into voting yes by telling the clubs they were withholding development payments for those that voted against the change. an abuse of power and an abuse of the democratic voting system.

tell me this.....why aren't arsenal interested in paulinho?
i've been wondering for a few weeks now, as he looks ideal for the premier league, but not a peep, not even any mention of "wish we could sign..." in here. how come? is it because we already have wilshere/ramsey/arteta?
he's arguably a better fit than fellaini and would cost less.

 

I have been saying this. I agree that I think he is a better fit than is Fellaini (not knocking Fellaini and not saying he isn't a good player whom I would be happy to have) but I believe he will also cost marginally less up front and less over the contract. I know he lacks BPL experience but he has the luxury of learning from a player with tons of it in Arteta. It is also a dent in the hopes of a team thathas become a table as well as cultural and geographical rival.

I say we step in with a bid of 20, ask Gilberto and Edu to act as ambassadors and see if we cannot turn this kid's head.

I think he is a very, very good player with a ton of upside. His tracking back and overall tenacity are more in the mold of the best of our recent holding/DM players and I think he ends up as a great box-to-box with a defensive bias.

We are in the market for a player like him and we are watching a rival try and lock him up. If nothing else, we have to make them pay a bit more than they want to by making an offer that they will have to match. Our silence here is baffling.

 

Not really. The rest of the world made some huge strides in the 90s and 2000s to close the gap but they haven't had much movement in the last few years.

Eventually I think you will see the disparity wind up being something close to Brazil versus the rest of the world, assuming the sport continues to grow in the rest of the world. But that is still a ways away.

 

Fellaini is far less risky. He is a proven commodity in England.

 

yeah, it looks like he is going to Madrid or Inter tho.

 

It’s understood Wenger and Arsenal would like to see a dream partnership of Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain as a central striker with Rooney playing behind him.

Does this mean we're considering going back to a 4-4-2 now? Or does Rooney then play the #10 ?
It still baffles me how we'd even consider Rooney at 200,000 a week. He's not worth it.

 

that reminds me, the isco to real madrid deal has been done.

 

you know edu is the corinthians director of football?

 

Yes.

 

Typical George

 

So what do you call the last 8-9 years with Arsenal? Haven't won anything, but got to a few semi-finals, a cup final, and always in the CL.

 

the Bulls have needed a 2 guard for 5 years and passed up on one many times.

They paid Boozer.

The Bulls have a great coach and Rose, but the front office has let them down.

And hte Bulls NEED more scorers. Thats their problem.
