    They want to win premier league titles.

    He’s one of the several hundred French Wingers, that seemingly possess nothing but pace.

    They have no interest in winning Premier League titles. They want to be profitable.

    I reckon Dyche got stung by that article saying he'd sold all his black players. First Nakhi Wells starts getting game time, now N'Koudou.

    Sanchez to City and Lucas Pavon (who I've never heard of) in as a replacement this week.

    edit: Cristian Pavon even, still never heard of him.

    Wasn't Vidal to Chelsea meant to be a "done deal"? He's lining up for Bayern in a friendly against third tier Sonnenhof Großaspach in a bit.

    From what I remember of the story wasn't it Bayern wanting it to be a done deal so they could get someone else in?

    We've been missing a ponytail since Seaman hung up his boots. Maybe we can get that sponsorship deal back.

    Fifth goal of the second half has just made it 4-3 on 65 minutes. Good laugh.

    I think it will be alright for that sort of price. They desperately need some other options on the right, and there isn't an obvious wait until the summer MEGA transfer there (other than Bareth Gale, which is never happening).

    He was going to be the next big thing at one point, right?

    Is he actually any good?

    No idea, but a lot of people seem to be against it simply because he turned United down in 2012. Maybe he saw what was coming.

    The PSG fans on reddit seem to think he's a thick-as-pigshit pace merchant, and despite being right-footed he still cuts in all the time.

    Sounds wonderful

    Speaking of Lucas Moura, whatever happened to Paulo “Ganso” Henrique?

    Edit: Sevilla apparently. Not quite the status that was predicted for him!

    James Olley of the Standard, who has pretty good connections at the club (He's no Ornstein but who is?), says Ancelotti's being lined up if Wenger walks at the end of the year.

    3-5 years too late.

    The game has changed now. I think managers need to be amazing motivators. I dont know if Ancelotti is or not. Diego Simone is what arsenal need if you ask me. Him or that Eddie Howe from Bournemouth. Fuck it.

    Diego Simeone doesn't even speak English. How's he going to motivate them?

    I swear you're judged more by how shouty you look on a touchline than anything you actually do these days.

    Exactly. It seems to work for everyone else. Mad managers barking on the touchline is what arsenal need as arsenal are SilentNight pillow soft. Simone will have them playing like a defensive well oiled machine.

    Carlo Ancelotti is very much a get good players playing good manager, and Arsenal would be the weakest team he has managed in twenty years. It will be like 'LvG' without the lols.

    Agree with Sincere. Whatever Simeones manager style on the sideline, he's achieved a hell of a lot with Athletico, and his teams have a distinct style that builds from the back and promotes a bit of a hard spirit in his teams. Mourinho is much the same, he's not quite as shouty or anything (don't know if that's relevant).

    Arsenal needs someone who comes in and says "fuck this shit, you can't play like this anymore this isn't Barcelona". It will all go to shit for a few years, but better rip the band aid at some point.

    While I can sort of understand why he might be a bit pissed over this, taking legal action seems a little precious to be honest.

    Frustrating one that, hopefully it's just a tweak. I've seen everything from 2 weeks to he'll be back against Bournemouth.

    West Ham have said that they want rid of Javier Hernandez. Him and Iheanacho have been my biggest prediction failures.

    It's the fact that he spells it without the second 'l' that's offensive.
