Wenger spent some pretty serious money on Chambers, it could go ugly for him

Signing a teenager who's made 20 career professional appearances for £16m.


Who's ruining football again?

[Kick]

He is Arsenal's 3rd most expensive signing ever

[Shed]

Seriously?

[Kick]

Yes, behind Sanchez and Ozil

[Shed]

Oh my

Lallana = Overpriced but decent
Markovic = Overpriced and unknown
Lovren = Overpriced and average
Origi = unknown
Can = somewhat unknown but decent price (only good buy)
Lambert = Why?

In a nutshell...

[Kick]

Only player I would take from all those players is Can.

[Shed]

I'd take Markovic, but not as a first teamer, as he will be for them.

[Kick]

I'd only take him if we could have gotten him for 12m. I would then loan him and try to pull a profit next year

I certainly wouldn't take him for 20m

[Shed]

20m god no

Slippy G on that moment, via the Telegraph:
-

"It’s probably been the worst three months of my life."

"I’ve seen it a few times. I don’t have to watch something like that to go through the pain again and again and again."

"I’ve been through the pain in the dressing room after and in the weeks and months since. I just stumbled across it. It didn’t hide away. I have TVs in my house and I read papers. There is social media."

"When something like that happens you have to face it up and be man enough to take it on the chin. Accept it happened. You can’t change it. I haven’t lost my man at a set-piece. I haven’t missed a penalty. I haven’t made a bad pass or a mistake. That’s why it was cruel. Every single person on the planet slips at some point in their life, whether it is on a set of stairs, on the floor or whatever."

"For me, it happened on the pitch at a really bad moment. But over the course of 38 games a lot happens for you and against you and that determines whether you win the league or not. That moment happened at a crucial time and I have to face that. And I will do."

'Triffic lad, keeps his hed down and has a trick or too. You know. A good lad.

City vs Liverpool in the International Champions Cup just kicked off btw, if anyone's interested in a bit of footy.

[Kick]

Whose deal was worse:
Lallana to Liverpool for 25m
Or
Lukaku to Everton for 28m?

[Shed]

LOLlana to Liverpool, definitely

[Shed]

Though considering Everton have spent over £30m to end up with literally the same team they had last year, minus Deulofeu, I'd say they aren't too far behind.

[Kick]

Neither are good deals

[Shed]

Lukaku could well be if we're being fair and objective. He could still yet turn into a very good striker, whether he can ever reach the 'world class' level notwithstanding, and has proven he will score goals.


Lallana, on the other hand....
