United do look good...and the amazing thing is, I'm reading the average age of the United team is as young, if not younger, than Arsenal.

Nasri looked good for City. He and Silva tore Spurs apart.

Christ, I could have played the defensive line better than Djourou did. Anybody else notice how he flinched out of the way for the first goal? I was screaming my head off at that.

Jon - as a Gunner, I have to disagree. We are weakened, and we are absolute rubbish (van Persie aside, I feel for poor RvP, he's leading lambs to slaughter). We made history on Sunday...

I hope we don't add to a 'historic' season by being relegated for the first time since the league was founded.

well, we got a center back in Mertesacker today, so thats great news, we've also signed Park and from what i've seen, can score a goal or two and we got him on the cheap. Now if we can just sign a good central mid and a left back (Santos), we'll be golden. And whats this I hear we're being linked with Clint Dempsey? He'd be a bigger goal threat than Bendtner, thats for sure, but i'm not sure how he'd fit in at the Emirates... Great for America though, probably be the biggest club an American has ever played for.

Gomez injured, blue?! oh noessssss

Red, Lansbury was never supposed to be our attacking midfielder. He's more box to box / defensively minded.

phelan · 08-31-2011, 12:36 AM

Dempsey doesn't work in our team lineup, but I wouldn't mind having Deuce as a super sub.

Santos is supposedly farther along in signing than Mertesacker, although Bremen players have already said goodbye to their CB. Dunno, we'll see. Tomorrow will be WILD.

I've never heard an American mispronounce "Arsenal," but I have heard "Bye-urn Mun-chen."

Thats mispronounced?

Red370 · 08-31-2011, 10:32 AM

Mertesacker, Dos Santos, Park are in... now we're once again linked with Eden Hazard, fingers crossed that this is true. If it keeps going at this rate, looks to be a masterful move by Le Prof, we'll definitely be Premiership contenders if we find that final attacking/creative midfielder.

phelan · 08-31-2011, 10:32 AM

Deadline day headache!

Lansbury to West Ham on season long loan. WHY CANT HE GET A BLOODY GAME FOR US

Park, Mertesacker, Dos Santos all in.

Paaark, paaark wherever you may be...

Watching Lansbury against liverpool made me realize that hes not first team material, dispossessed and played countless wayward passes, not in the mold of an attacker imho.

08-31-2011, 03:06 PM

Nah hes fine. It was against Zurich and he played this past weekend anyways and scored a hat trick. He is just taking off for the Germany game to rest as a precaution so he is ready for Bayern.

phelan · 08-31-2011, 03:15 PM

My head hurts following the transfer window. Bloody hell.

Jon@AAMComp · 08-31-2011, 04:57 PM

So many transfers!

Crouchy to Stoke!
Scott Parker to Spurs!
Shaun Wright Phillips to QPR!
Benayoun to Arsenal!
Palacios to Stoke!
Ngog to Bolton!
Craig Bellamy to Liverpool!

Good deal for Arsenal to sign Mertesacker from Bremen. You guys definitely need a large, experienced centre half. The Bundesliga is very similar to the Premier League style of play and physicality, so he should assimilate quickly.

Blue, I know a little German, and I think spelling Bayern München phonetically is something like 'Bye-Yahn Muun-kien'. It's hard for me to spell out the 'ch' sound in German, but its not pronounced like a ch like we'd say 'church'. More like a hissing sound lol. Cow's right though, I cringe when I hear people say Munchin' lol.
