Premier League 2011/12 general thread

[abigsmurf]

With the time they have left now, they're going to have to pay silly money for anyone they buy (unless they've been pretty good at keeping ongoing negotiations under wraps).

After the awful defending in the first half, Cahill's price has probably gone up by a couple of million given how clear it is they need him.

If i was Arsene Wenger and/or the Arsenal chairman with the money they have available i would of made a 35m bid for Sneijder and then offered him 250k a week to sign. I then would of brought in Scott Parker on loan or mabee even a permanent sign to replace Fabregas & Denilson. I also would of tried to sign Sakho from PSG.

If you're going to play Fantasy Football, why don't we offer Messi ?1,000,000 a week and give Barca ?500,000,000 for him, then get Ronaldo from Madrid for ?6bn. And Tevez for ?all the tea in China. Etc.

Because that's not how a business is run, is why.

Proper demolition job now, we just need the monsters to turn up from Rampage to flatten a few buildings in the background.

Stupid post in every way, heres why:

First of all no club on the planet can afford to pay a player 1m a week and 500m is a figure that is more than 99.9% of the worlds football clubs are worth.

The Ronaldo 6bn comment il not comment on as that was too far a joke to take seriously.

Arsenal can perfectly afford 35m and 250k a week wages especially since gaining nearly 60m from Fabregas & Nasri. Scott Parker is available and has been all transfer window and had a good solid season and could be got for cheap money and wages. Sakho would be harder to get as he's young and PSG don't need the money but it could be possible.

Oh and nice finishes from Rooney & Nani to make it 5 although i think Nani has had a wasteful match in front of goal.

6-1 its 2001 all over again!

[EJG1980]

Just got home from WHL to see the fifth go in, tiny bit of consolation to see the Gooners getting dicked as bad as us. North London derby is going to be a relegation six pointer Ha, six!

[vanpeebles]

lol 6-1 now!

[parkinho]

LOL Tevez doesn't even drink tea.

Of course it was a stupid post, it was meant to be.

You can't pay Sneijder ?250k a week when no other player at the club is on even half that. Suddenly their contract negotiations start demanding the same. Then your wage bill more than doubles for the sake of one player. Arsenal can't perfectly afford that. Big picture, lad

6-2! My money's on 6-6.

[Sam The Man]

He would be the best player at the club by far and everyone would know that so they wouldn't ask for the same and even if they did they would be refused and no one there would be irreplaceable if they chose to leave. I can see the big picture perfectly clearly . 7-2 i predict.

[vanpeebles]

It's ok Angela Lansbury is coming on to turn it around for Arsenal.

[davek22]

City and United put more goals in today than all the premier league scored yesterday. Did someone say two horse race?

He would be the best player at the club, but to think that nobody else would want more money is ridiculous. You just have no concept of how football works.

Even if nobody else at the club wanted more money it makes it impossible to sign new players because they'd expect to be on what Sneijder's on.

It's just not possible. Arsenal are not Man City.

[toythatkills]

Laughable.

Wenger is going to have some job defending this.
