pherrun check the massacre today. Tell me Marques first goal isnt beautiful! Wait til u see behind the net it bends SO hard

omg beautiful strike

LOL handball.

lmao @ the tackle for the 2nd goal

Wow 62nd min how did he miss!!?!?

no idea but i was screaming at that miss haha

I'm going to the Red Bulls vs Rapids match 9/11. I hope Marquez or Henry scores something spectacular.

haha I was like WTF?
:tup:

looks like we landed another defender. I've been researching this guy, hes really good in the air and built pretty stout, although hes already 30, he only has about 2-3 good seasons left.

Sebastien Squillaci set for Arsenal medical on Monday - Transfers - ESPN Soccernet

i'll take squillaci. he's still in good form right now, but i'm concerned he's another big injury risk to our defensive line...

thoughts on GK situation? i'd love to get shay given but it sounds like man city would rather strangle themselves before giving him up. schwarzer...eh, an improvement i guess?

I'm thinking Schwarzers main impact is going to be as a mentor for the younger keepers (Mannone and Szereserrafsdff)

Keepers can usually play into their 40's, look at Seaman, and more currently, Friedel, so I think he'd be a good addition but unfortunately I dont think AW is going to give more than a 2.5 mil bid.

Another ESPN fail

I like the Squillaci signing-- I've been a big fan of his since he was at Lyon (read: played with him on FIFA## & liked him because he was 80+).

His wikipedia page already says he plays for Arsenal.

Thierry Henry started out as more of a wide player-- thoughts?

I dont know why he was ever even considered a midfield player, his ground passing game needs work, however, his final ball has improved drastically and his goal scoring ability as of late has been amazing, seems hes been a striker all along. As far as the 4-4-2 goes, I think if its played as a diamond midfield with the central midfielder slotted in just behind the left and right forward, this could be a great transition for Arsenal. While I love the tried and tested 4-3-3, its more about a quick attack/counter attack and utilizes less possession which Arsenal needs more of, sure we can piece together a quick and dangerous attack, but time management is a huge problem for us when we play more possession based teams like Barca or ManUre.
