*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

So apparently Jon Walters has been "the Championship's outstanding performer over the last three years"

Pulis obviously not been watching much Championship football.

Just watching a bit of Werder Bremen v Sampdoria; really liking the look of this Aaron Hunt kid. Shame we couldn't have poached him. English mother, apparently. Clearly takes after his father tho as he's quick, two footed and runs with his head up.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Salzburg failing again. 1-2 down at home. Lol.

 

[Furball]

Merson being asked to summarise on Werder Bremen v Sampdoria is hilarious.

 

[Furball]

Haha, Fritz scores for the Germans.

 

[Cevno]

Stories coming out of france that Arsenal are on the brink of signing Squillaci from Sevilla.

 

[Jarquis]

Yah, Canal+ reporting. Same place that broke the Chamakh story before anywhere else, apparently if they report it, it's already at 95%.
Solid buy IMO

 

[Uppercut]

Was really good in one of the old Pro Evos. Good enough for me .

 

[sledger]

Wikipedia says he is an Arsenal player already.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

20 years too late imo.

 

[Jarquis]

Sign him when he's 10
He's awesome in air whenever I've seen him, was part of the Monaco side that made the CL Final, so has a bit of pedigree. Experienced as well, will bring a lot to the squad imo. Excellent backup, seeing as though Wenger has put a lot of faith in Koscielny

 

[sledger]

Yeah, am largely in favour of this move. Should make a very competent addition. Now just need to get the Goalkeeper sorted and stop the rest of the team from being injured all of the time.

 

[Jarquis]

Yeah, a goalkeeper is a necessity. Whilst I'm backing the move for Squillaci, it smacks of Wenger.
For want of a better analogy, this deal is everything he wanted the Sylvestre deal to be. An experienced center half to add some depth and experience to the squad for a decent fee. Somebody who can be depended on etc etc, a real squad signing. Yet again, when we've gone looking for a player to fill a hole in our squad and we've bought somebody who's a fair enough signing, rather than buying real quality.
The only reason I can see for that is wenger sees Koscielny as Vermaelen2.0 in terms of taking the Premiership by storm.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Sign him when he's 10

Failed Italia '90 reference.

 

[Jarquis]

Ah, should've picked up on it seeing as every third person is making the same joke on Twitter.

From a City fan(just posting in case anyone wonders about their plans):

1. Joe Hart
2. Shay Given
3. Stuart Taylor
4. Micah Richards
5. Gareth Barry
6. Joleon Lescott
7. Wayne Bridge
8. Shaun Wright-Phillips
-----------------------------------------
9. Jerome Boateng
10. Kolo Toure
11. Pablo Zabaleta
12. David Silva
13. Michael Johnson
14. Patrick Vieria
15. Yaya Toure
16. Nigel de Jong
17. James Milner
18. Vincent Kompany
19. Emmaunel Adebayor
20. Jo
21. Robinho
22. Roque Santa Cruz
23. Carlos Tevez
24. Aleksandr Kolarov
25. Adam Johnson

Now even have room in our 25 for Jo and Michael Johnson. Caicedo is off to West Ham, just leaves a few young players like Etuhu and Vidal who'll need to find a club

No doubt clueless pundits and media will still say we need to sell 10 players.

 

[marc71178]

So which Jo is there not room in the squad for then?

Haha, I thought that was what you were getting at

 

[duffer]

A bit disappointed that one of Sevilla or Braga have to get eliminated here. Both really really fun teams to watch. That said I wish we were attempting to sign Fazio from them as opposed to Squillaci.

Too bad cricket is not popular in Germany, otherwise he would of had no problems in pledging his allegiance to the 'old country'. Just like KP, Trott, etc (you know, South Africans that chose to play for England, I hope you lot try and get the analogy I'm trying to make).

Strange thing has happened, Genoa sign Kevin-Prince Boateng from Pompey, and then loan him straight to Milan, where after one season he could re-join Genoa or stay at Milan on a co-ownership. ****, things must be pretty bad at the red half of Milan if they need Genoa, a smaller club then them, to buy them players.
