Romey 1878 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Too late imo, Wenger should have bought years ago. He could have spent big but has chose to go for bargains or youngsters. They could have bought Jags but wouldnt stump up the extra £2 mil and instead squandered it on fodder Mertesacker and Squillaci. With a better cb and goalkeeper in earlier, they would have won another trophy by now. Before last season the only double figure (£million) players have been Reyes, Hleb, Nasri, Arshavin and Vermaelen, and when major players are sold they don't buy a ready made replacement, instead buying a youth who will hopefully fill the void in the future. The teams challenging for major trophies would buy both. Last season Wenger bucked up his transfer policies and brought in Arteta as a straight replacement for Fabregas and it payed off big time, but they hadn't replaced Nasri and only had 2 good centre backs so the league was always going to be out of reach last season. They've had a bit of bad luck that has hindered them as well with RVP and Eduardo injuries preventing a league challenge a couple of seasons ago, and a few less decisions than the other title contenders. But ultimately Wenger's transfer policy has to take the blame. Like I said, RVP's motivation is nothing to do with what ambition Arsenal have or haven't shown. He's only interested in the money. On topic; Aquilani has moved to Fiorentina permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Bellamy's gone to Cardiff....permanently this time. Rumoured he rejected a £60k a week contract from QPR. Good on him for picking a club he wants to play for, rather than chasing coin. Shame we never signed him when we had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Joe Allen £15 mil. The fee may seem high, but in Liverpool money that's an absolute bargain, cheaper than Henderson and Dowing, and less than half of what Carroll cost.

GoodisonRoad Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Saha to Sunderland, Anita to Newcastle. Some sunderland fans are actually quite happy with Saha ( http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=722464 ) i think we squeezed what little he had left to give. Then again he did okay at Spurs, Be interesting to see how he does. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I wonder what kind of reception he will get at Goodison. He seemed like a really sound bloke until he went off the rails and started being a knob, I can't see him doing much at West Ham, he was already trailing off for us around January/February so I don't think its a big loss.
