Sheva.

I didn't see this, you're right then.

Might be the system. He never played enough at Madrid to be able to judge though, since they played a similar style to BVB.

A lot? how? It doesn't even matter because he has more than made up for it with his goals this season, they would be in an even worse position without them.

He has been very underwhelming at Liverpool.

Well played

No females allowed in the Prem.

12m. He was on 60k here but don't know how much they're giving him.

Why would they play him as CF and shift Suarez - who scores every game - to the wings?

He will be available for FA cup if he doesn't play in the competition for Newcastle on Saturday.

Hope his agents do not fuck this up. It's not everyday you get a chance to join a club like Chelsea. And on the other hand, it's not everyday you can get a much better option than your current 50m striker, for 7m

Nice. Get him in before Saturday please.

Torres' passing and movement are not great either, but he still has 14 or so goals this season. His problem is he misses a lot of chances he really should be putting away, and if Negredo can do better, then i don't see why we shouldn't sign him. Ba is unlikely at this moment and Villa unrealistic, someone needs to be signed soon. On Negredo, i remember watching a Spain game once and Xavi i think put him in on goal with a delightful ball, and he controlled it perfectly and finished very well. Mata does something similar for us and he will also have Azpi crossing the ball to him, i'm sure he will do just fine if we sign him.

I wonder what is so bad about a striker who's main strength is finishing

There is absolutely nothing wrong with him asking for more money, but for Chelsea, i'm not sure it makes sense to pay him that.

Shit, we can never have a break lol. Then i think we will see some changes for the game tomorrow, and even more against Southampton, with a near-full strength team vs Swansea.

Tbf we've started 90% of our games this season with 10 men.

I was going to suggest we rest some players, but we don't have another PL game till next week. So they can be rested in the Fa cup like @, said.

Imagine playing him as striker with all the other small players we have. No aerial presence whatsoever; he won't win anything in the air and hardly a threat on crosses. He can't exactly do anything with his back to goal either, so he needs to played in behind to take advantage of his pace and finishing ability. I think Wenger should try starting with him and Giroud and leave OX on the bench. I can see a good partnership developing there, and Walcott would benefit from Giroud's knockdowns. All in all i don't want him here, we need a real striker.

I'm sure him going to ACN has something to do with it.

Doesn't matter who is average or not, it's not like we're blessed with options. We have to add a striker asap and the club will get whoever is decent and available.

Southampton lead against Arsenal.

:lol: Speaking of Benitez, my vote for this month goes to Rupert

He wants 90k a week according to Neil Ashton. And his agents want 5m - what bargain? lol http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2255475/Demba-Bas-transfer-nightmare-middlemen.html

Doubt it. If we're just looking for someone to back-up Torres* there are many average strikers in the league, Shane Long etc that wouldn't mind coming here. At the end of this window, i think we will get someone that is capable of starting over Torres. *This will be really stupid lol, do the people running the transfers even watch games?!
