BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 The cup is nothing to sneeze at but I do agree that Arsenal supporters have let it get to their head a bit too much, but that's not to say that LFC have not let their 2nd-place finish get to theirs either. Can't we all just get along? Easy for me to make such a suggestion since I've never stepped foot in England and have no real tangible grasp on the immensity of the local supporters' passion. We're just messing around. I love everyone...except GHH of course It's just that we're the only two clubs represented in this thread outside of 1 or 2 Man U fans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say with reasonable confidence that Iraq and Afghanistan both LOVE la liga. It's not even close. Either Real or Barca. When I was in Iraq in 2006, my interpreter thought Liverpool were in Bundesliga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawBBQSauce Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Ok seriously, DC and GHH, how excited are you for Markovic? I remember watching his highlights a few weeks back and coming away very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Ok seriously, DC and GHH, how excited are you for Markovic? I remember watching his highlights a few weeks back and coming away very impressed. Honestly I'm not worried about our build up and that's where I'd have him playing. We need a couple of fullbacks and a no-**** striker who can finish. I don't want to be like some sides who pass the ball around the 18 for 5 minutes and then shoot it from 25 yards out In other words, I like the signing, it seems I'll have to get used to the money be so big I guess. But he is good player for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is good player for sure. Sometimes I wish Arsenal would follow the logic of signing young more often but when I really think about it, I realize they've guessed wrong on young talent in a bad way in the past. I can see the logic behind both philosophies. If you bring in a player at age 18-20, sign them to a 4-5 year contract, they're going to want a move away from your club once that contract is up in all likelihood (if you haven't given up on said player and allowed him to walk in the meantime). Same goes for a veteran in his prime (age 26-29). Once that contract is up, he's going to either be out of gas, or push for a move to a different club for the twilight of his career. I guess the idea is to get a good mix of young and experienced talent. Arsenal have a fairly good mix of both at this point, I reckon. Still, although we have players like Ox, Ramsey, Wilshere, Walcott, I still feel as though we lack young attacking talent. I'm wondering if I feel this way due to the lack of goals scored last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I mean half the ppl you mentioned missed months of action. The offensive issue from last season was the lack of a top level striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if I feel this way due to the lack of goals scored last season. That's where we'll miss Suarez. He was the perfect dance partner for Sturridge... they even left about 10 goals on the field between the two of them because whichever one was being selfish at the time was feeling it. So the signing of Markovic is good for build up, but not finishing. We need one more, strong finisher and I'll be happy if the rest of the moves follow suit. I mean half the ppl you mentioned missed months of action. The offensive issue from last season was the lack of a top level striker. Out of likes, but well said. Hopefully we won't fall into the same boat this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawBBQSauce Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I mean half the ppl you mentioned missed months of action. The offensive issue from last season was the lack of a top level striker I understand. That seems to be what everyone thinks. I was speaking more to just the general overall philosophy of the club and how they go about acquiring talent as it relates to the age groups. I must say, however, that top-quality center-forwards aren't just out there for the taking either. It's like an NFL fan-base clamoring for a top QB when everyone knows they don't grow on trees.

I think I may be the only West Ham supporter in the thread, but I'm pretty quiet about it since they play pretty bland football. Except when they beat Spurs. Then I start texting a bunch of friends.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) ..... Two things on Aspas... 1) hopefully that was part of the package for Alberto Moreno 2) that opens up a reserve spot for Ibe/Borini Aspas was terrible this year. ..,.. It's a frigging year long loan. SMH. I swear that **** Ayre only want to Sevilla on a wine and tapas bender at our expense. Hail.

DCranon21 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 FrFan, I want to watch another club and it's AS Monaco. So tell me the good things about them, as I want to follow one of my favorite new players, James Rodriguez. I know they finished 2nd behind PSG. Also there is a rumor that Barca and RM are in a bidding war for his services. Will the owner match any deal? I want to follow a new league this season. http://www.barcablaugranes.com/2014/7/14/5898217/report-james-rodriguez-barcelona-real-madrid-transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable, indeed. I think the blue should be darker, but overall it's a nice looking shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
