marketing media pet 27 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 We were never in the run for Schweinsteiger, he is not what we need. Will be 31 one before the season starts, all our midfielders are in their peak we do not need players who are past it. Charles Aranguiz is pretty close to Schweinsteiger anyway. When Basti was 26, he was not even half the player Aranguiz is now.Aranguiz is better at 26 than Basti was ? LOL Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 he would give us absolutely nothing we don't already have.wrong. he would gives us character. he would give us balls. our midfield surely misses that. getting dominated by a 10 men city and a 10men psg ( at the bridge) tells us how far we are from being a europe dominating team. bastian would give us that. he would add steel as well as quality to our mid.Secondly, Schweinsteiger was an immature player when aged 26. It was Lvg who made him what he is now. At 26 Schweinsteiger was a slow, technically limited, average winger playing for a mediocre Bayern side who had not made the semifinal of the CL for 8 years. Only when LvG shifted him into the middle he became the player he is now. Aranguiz at 26 knows where his place is already, can work with his strengths. He is less injury prone, has more left in the tank, his best is yet to come, already a mature player, physical on a way higher level than Schweini.technically limited? really? i remember there being such a massive hue and cry about bastian wasting his "immense potential". RM had not made CL semis for so long, does not mean they were mediocre. bayern were in a transitional phase. and since 2009 have been on the up as has bastian. even if we take that charles is better than bastian was at 26, can you expect even half the improvement for charles that bastian has shown in the last 5-6 years? hell no. what we would have is another squad player in charles. bastian on the other hand would be a great option to have for another 2-3 years.Thirdly about Löw and the national team, we were completely horrible before the world cup. When I made the statement that our chances were slim it was like in 2012 when there were no active German players even in posession of an international medal. In the World cup our players completed their evolution from chokers to big match winners. I was highly cricital of Joachim Löw and rightly so, because some of his tactical manoeuvres like playing Lahm in midfield despite an apparent lack of quality fullbacks, playing Özil on the wing etc. But In the end the superior quality of our side shone through. We had by far the best squad in the World Cup and a good portion of luck that Algeria, France and Argentina were so damn wasteful in their finishing. I predicted multiple times before and during the WC that we were going to win it, despite Löw. Still it needed some heroic defending from Neuer, Boateng and Hummels plus a couple of brilliant individual moves in the front the win that WC. Not really because of superior tactics. Schweinsteiger put in a commanding display in the final but did not really make any difference defensively or offensively. As said above, Schweinsteiger and Löw will be the last ones I will thank for this WC title. First come Neuer, Hummels, Höwedes, Boa, Schürrle and of course Higuain and Palacio for some really epic misses.i told this before too. you were judging a team on friendlies, with a massive pep hangover. i told this too before the world cup that for me germany were the favourites.bastian controlled the game. "did not really make much difference defensively or offesively". are u kidding me? do you say the same about iniesta too? some players dont need to score/assist or put in a last ditch tackle to make the difference. they make the difference by running the whole show and the match. such are players like bastian, iniesta, pirlo. every team needs luck to win. tell me which champion does not need luck? spain last WC against chile or scoring a header against german, or robben's misses. italy with zidane. RM winning the CL after being 2 minutes away from fucking up. chelsea CL win. along with tactical nous, you need luck as well as individual brilliance to be the champion. does not mean that the coach sucks or the playerX or player Y did not do much.

I wa thinking though, we have just won the premier league. Then we went on a post season tour. Mourinho probably needed to just focus on his family and his holiday, after all this is the time of year to do so. Now he's back, things should start to kick on quickly!

Unionjack 7,532 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I see the gooners are still busy. Going after Lacazette since being told he could leave and he said he would only goto a CL club. And seems Juve are going for Ozil as a replacement for the Pog. They only want to offer £28.8 but as thats quite a bit shy of his original cost and that French bloke being a tight git there might be some haggling go on about it.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/11733224/Arsenal-transfer-news-and-rumours-Arsene-Wengers-bid-to-sign-Alexandre-Lacazette-lifted.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unitedkingpin 21 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Take a stab at raphael from United.Very pacey, brilliant going forward and if Jose can control his temper, would be a far better player than Ivan the striker. Apparently, he has to control his injuries too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar 441 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I think you guys are underestimating City.Had they didn't had all those injury problems and yaya being a complete tool, they would of been a better challenge for the title last season.. For some reason City has been doing this for the past few years, winning title and sucking ass the next year than winning it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just an easy reason for the Sun to use. It was reported we could spend £140m and pass FFP before the season began based solely on Yokohama's income, and revenue and TV money....I think the main concern is Mourinho wanted most if not all his signings in by time we went to America and it now looks unlikely before then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I'm getting a bit concerned with our lack of signings, this cost us the title again in 2011 when depth clearly become an issue something we really lack at the moment, by depth I mean quality depth even Arsenal now have better depth than us Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
