Turkish Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 Arsenal sign Ospina on a 4 year deal they are a top DM away from having a cracking transfer window Still think they're a centre back and DM away from being genuine contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 Quite a few teams that were in and around us are developing far stronger squads than we have, substantially so. Newcastle, Stoke and Hull as examples. All set to improve to being likely to finish ahead of us I would expect. Way too early to say either way. Norwich were tipped to finish above us last year as they had an amazing window, or something. Players don't always work out for whatever reason, on paper they are good additions - as are ours, but not all will be a success. Need to see who we bring in before going on a negative rampage about how they'll finish above us in 10 months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 Still think they're a centre back and DM away from being genuine contenders. And a top striker. Giroud is alright, but nothing special. And their only other real backup to him is Sanogo, who is ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly didnt tip Norwich to be above us, they did deals early in June, its way beyond early now. Of course we don't know which players will work out, as normal, but we can see the sides who are doing their best to go out there and actually secure their targets.

Newcastle, Stoke and Hull as examples. All set to improve to being likely to finish ahead of us I would expect. Really Hull have Europa league so their squad will be stretched next season and Stoke have just signed a guy who managed 4 goals in 24 apperances playing for the champions in the Eredivisie last season compare that to the new striker we just signed. Newcastle look like they are doing well this transfer window though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 24 July, 2014 Share Posted 24 July, 2014 That's not fair, Ashton was a decent player. May be wrong, if so I apologise. But I thought you berated the mongboard for criticising Carroll. For such a lump (I don't mean that as a dig, but I feel it's fair to say his game is more physicality than finesse) his injury record is pathetic. There may well be a decent player (not top level IMO) in there somewhere, but he just doesn't seen too bothered. Shame really. Do agree though, Ashton was a superior player. Shame his career was cut short by injury. Personally, don't see the fuss around Carroll. Though fair to say both Dalglish & Sam Allardyce have forgotten more than I'll ever know about football.

Why is it a lot of money for them, they made 85 million from the PL alone last year, what's all that money for unless it's bettering your side. They paid him last season, not much change there then. Other than that I don't remember them signing anyone except Besic for a few million, to replace Barry perhaps. Still have a top side, and will do well.
