Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

Don't know if you guys wanna move the transfer speculation to the "My client became a Youtube sensation" thread for these last couple of days of the *Transfer Window*, but "my sources tell me" (lol) that Chelsea bid £8m + Yossi for Meireles tonight. LFC rejected the bid, Chelsea are planning to improve it. LFC don't particularly want Yossi, but Yossi would like to return.

we don't need yossi back and if we take 10m or 12m for meireles someone has lost their mind.

Can't wait for Wednesday night.

Otm. Yossi's not bad but Meireles fits better. Not sure about the price.

idk raul meireles seems to be white but his attempts at carrying off the combat 18 aesthetic are a bit fey

Agreed. On the other hand, I do want to see him get a game (Yossi too) and for whatever reason it looks like that won't be here.

xps

Can't wait for Wednesday night.

shit yeah. was planning on going to see planet of the apes but might try to convince my mate to just watch ssn with some beers.

Sir Alex Ferguson's impact at Old Trafford has intensified the allure the club has held for generations. The craving of businesses to be associated with United verged on self-parody when DHL chose to sponsor the training kit for £10m a year.

wtf?

yeah happened last week. I won't claim to understand the logic behind it

http://news.arseblog.com/2011/08/lequipe-arsenal-sign-mertesacker

French media claiming Mertesacker deal has been agreed subject to a medical. Shit this is like being a Liverpool fan for the past year or two condensed down to the past two weeks.

If you need to sign players that are expected to safe an already lost season in the last two days of the transfer window, U R DOING IT RONG. What a shame.

save, even

wasn't Fabregas already part of our starting xi 4 years ago and Nasri part of Marseilles?

anyway, of course we aren't doing it wrong. Last week of the window is infinitely more fun than getting your business done correctly and pre-season. Football is about entertainment, not having a cohesive squad that wins things.

That's the spirit!

Bendtner has scored 45 goals in 79 starts for the club

whaaaaaaaaaaat?

Meanwhile Liverpool turn down £8m plus Yossi, which is good news except that he's clearly going to go for a slightly improved bid. On the upside, it confirms that Chris has got some kind of insider contact worth listening to.

including youth competitions, reserve games and school fetes. xp

79 starts plus about 80 sub appearances, but still who'd've thought it?

Known for his extreme self-confidence, Bendtner once received a confidence rating that exceeded the scale in a test carried by an Arsenal psychologist

As an Arsenal aficionado I don't care enough to not have massive lulz about it. But it's a toss up between kinda sad mostly lol/kinda lol mostly sad tbh

I wonder if that's like when Chelsea announced Frank Lampard was the most intelligent person in the world since records began or some shit

I enjoy how AVB responds to any remark he mildly disagrees with by contorting his lips into a gigantic pink crescent

December
Nicklas made just one start in December but did get on the scoresheet in the 2-2 draw with Wigan. The Dane went through an exciting time with his partner expecting a child and, despite his immediate concerns on spending time with his family, he set his sights on fighting for his place after Christmas and in the New Year.

Sky Sports seem... to not know the difference between Italian football teams?

was just remembering Colin Murray's strange comment

'tonight Arsenal fans' phones are all down the toilet, they're all off, they're hidden ...
the amount of stick they're going to be taking for the next 3 days'

and thinking what a strange world he lives in.

was going to elaborate why but maybe not necessary.

I love the "and Cesc has won two trophies with Barca already!" nonsense, as if it means anything. I mean sure he's going to win titles with Barca, but maybe wait until they win the league etc etc

Yeah it's not like they include the Emirates Cup from his Arsenal days

It's stoooopid. Did anybody do the 'Mascherano has won xxx amount of trophies since he left Liverpool' thing?

No but Masch didn't have 'trophies' as his #1 priority so much as 'flee a sinking ship'

Exciting news that QPR have signed the left-back who walked off laughing after playing in an 8-2 defeat on Sunday. I look forward to seeing Barton and Warnock committing GBH on him if he does that at Loftus Road.

yeah well that's why arsenal need barton and warnock

I presume Traore was laughing cos he already knew he was trading up

walked off laughing after playing in an 8-2 defeat on Sunday.

That is a sign of mental toughness

I enjoyed him kicking Almunia in the face:

Pinefox - please do elaborate why

Wenger's job safe, say Arsenal amid health fears

more classy journalism from the Guardian. "surely he must be under stress right now..."=HEALTH FEARS. some seriously unscrupulous pricks editing that football page.

That is pretty fucking scandalous considering that nowhere in the article does it even allude to any 'health concerns'.

oh i missed the bit about "people at the club". I take it back, a well sourced article.

yeah i mean...for something like that i'd want a line from a person, even someone anonymous, specifically saying there are actual medical concerns over his health. it's totally from the same hymn sheet as the completely awful hargreaves "anxiety attack" story from last year, which they seem to have changed since it was published.

Wenger has offered £22m to Rennes for the France holding midfielder Yann M'Vila but the French club have told him he must pay £30m, which looks to have scuppered any deal.

this sounds quite inflated indeed. i don't know rennes transfer history that well but have they ever sold any players for this much? is m'vila even that good?

i'd guess they are holding out for £25m or something, just skimming a lil extra from a desparate customer

probably yeah but still a lot of money for a club that sold briand, gourcuff and källström (lol i know) for about €15m combined.

poulsen has signed for a discarded evian bottle

fair price

shit i misspelt desperate

i blame the mainstreamer

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/reds-agree-poulsen-transfer

is mertesacker any cop?

I agree with the condemnation of speculation over AW's health fears.

If he does indeed have such problems, then this would be a good time for people to stand back and get some perspective rather than add to the pressure which could (if the story has any basis) have serious or fatal consequences.

I don't like the hyena-pack treatment of Wenger.
