8 games in. Prem season so far for all?

[KelvinsRightGlove]

So Ramsay has a good game in the Champions League and this elevates Arsenal to the top of the League, interesting.

 

That quite plainly isn't what I was saying.

 

I was saying that he had already started to show an upturn in form, prior to the arrival of Ozil.

[Wes Tender]

RVW was all set to take the league by storm!

 

RVW zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Batman]

Not too sure what this has to do with this discussion?

 

You were using Norwich as our bench mark

[dellboypete]

Yeah. The holding tough tacking midfielder that allows their flair players to play.

 

Rather than having Ramsey sat there he has been set free

 

This is also the prime reason why we are doing so well this season (and the 2nd half of last) - Morgan plays a very similar role and this has let Lallana play in a much freer role, especially since Wanyama arrived.

[Barry Sanchez]

I was not using it as a benchmark, I was saying they have signed some good players like Van Wolfswinkel, he is a good player and by all accoutns showing a bit of effort, Osvaldo looks like a stoned Johnny Depp......................

Ah right, so the lazy South American tag comes out again.

 

How original Barry.

Guly = Lazy

Seems like there is a pattern here.

Who said Guly was lazy?

Plenty on here.

 

It's the go to criticism in lack of any real insights.

Do you think they are lazy?

[KelvinsRightGlove]

It's funny he is now a "run a lot, but isn't very good type player".

 

I'd imagine you probably were one, but then contradicted it a month or so later.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Do you think they are lazy?

 

I think they are lacking in imagination, and any real insights into what goes on on the pitch.

Thats maybe worse than "lazy"?

Just looked and amazingly Guly hasnt scored a competitive goal for nearly 2 years..... You might have a point.

 

Also in light of the below do you think £45million + could have been better spent than on Gaston and Osvaldo?

Lowest number of touches of any forward in the prem based on number of minutes played.....yet he is a good player and showing a bit of effort and Osvaldo isn't?

 

Take your yellow tinted glasses off Bazza

Where on earth have you got £45m on a player that cost £12m & a player that cost £15m?

 

No mention of it on that thread.

 

Utter nonsense, as usual.

Gaston cost £12m and Osvaldo £15

 

12 + 15 = 27

 

Wages:

 

Gaston circa £10 million over 4 years (lower estimate)

Osvaldo circa £10 million over 4 years ( again lower estimate )

 

10 + 10 = 20

 

Finally

 

27 + 20 = £47 million!!

 

Dont worry i was shocked too

I wonder why I said people get too hung up on fees.

 

Yeah, Ramirez has worked out as planned. Don't think it has been as bad as some people want to make out.

 

Osvaldo, far too early to tell either way just yet.

[Wes Tender]

Barry Sanchez:

 

Van Wolfswinkel is an amazing signing, could be the buy of the season, Hooper not too shabby and Quagliarella an unknown, certainly better than our premium signings. Wanyama is good mind but not a superstar signing, for us to get into Europe we need another quality striker bare minimum, Norwich have got one at least assured.

where are our signings? Cortese better be prepared to spend on a striker or we shall suffer.

 

Van Wolfswinkel, Hooper and now Quagliarella, good good signings, are they going for a top 4 spot instead of us?

Have you added in bonuses, insurance, translation costs, food and clothing etc. Figure could be close to £100M??

[Glasgow_Saint]

:lol:

 

In fairness far too early to judge if Norwich signings have been a success or not

[Batman]

LOL. Bazza

[Glasgow_Saint]

Just doing the modest basics hurt enough. To think Gaston gets £200k a month (minimum) ouch

[Wes Tender]

Barry felt fully qualified to express an opinion on what world-beaters they would be before they had even kicked a ball in anger in the Premiership this season, so I feel quite measured commenting after 8 matches. But of course you're right and I'm always one to say the same thing. That applies also to our three new signings, although Lovren and to a lesser extent Wanyama have already been lauded as great signings and the jury is still out on Oswaldo and indeed on Ramirez from the last window.

[Chewy]

In fairness, Norwich did beat us. Come the end of the season I expect they'll be vying for Europe and we will be stuttering over the 40 point mark as usual ...

[Barry Sanchez]

Barry Sanchez:

 

 

:lol:

 

Wesley, hence the question mark, how much have our signings cost and how good have they been?

 

Thats my point.

 

for us to get into Europe we need another quality striker bare minimum,

 

You must work for the Mail or some Murdoch paper.

[shirleysfc]

In fairness far too early to judge if Norwich signings have been a success or not

 

But early enough to write our players off yeah?

[Batman]

Bazza. Why are we so far above Norwich. When they were signing such quality

 

As for ozil being the reason why arsenal are doing well. He must have helped them last season as arsenal have won 20 from the last 24, losing just once in that
