It's easy to become a star there (which he already is) then to actually become someone big. I would do the same tbh

That's just the Greek mentality in a nutshell then

I thought Ninis was headed to Parma this summer?

You are correct.. I had forgotten What the fuck

Well, they've had a knack for developing young talent in the past. Maybe he'll move up to a bigger Serie A club or another big club elsewhere in Europe in a couple of years.

True that

How come you lived in Greece then Fonseca?

Because my mum speaks Greek (after living there for 15 years) and she moved me there where I went to school. But I was really young, I still can't speak Greek for shit because I never spoke it at home but I can somewhat understand what people are telling me. I feel more Greek than English but I wouldn't really say either, even though I look latino. Really weird mix lol

From 1 min.

We could have signed Rene Adler for free

Slow news day.. not too pleased.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright joins MK Dons as coach:

It's weird but Usmanov has already been our saviour when it comes to debt. We all know Kroenke's plan is to take money out of the club for his own business like the Glazer's have done. But to use the businesses income you have to own 75% of the club. With Usmanov holding 29.7% it's impossible for Kroenke to do this as long as Usmanov is around.

Also Usmanov is now valued at $23bn after selling shares in Facebook for $6bn. He bought them for $900m. So I doubt he needs to use us as a way to make money.


Quotes from him last year.

"If instead it is to try to deliver sustained success, to increase your personal investment in the club, to help develop the commercial position and to ensure the fans have a say in the running of the club then, yes, I think I certainly have something to contribute.

"I'm not going to sell my stake. I love Arsenal, that's why I'm a shareholder."

"In terms of doing things differently, let me give you a very clear example. Arsenal has all of its major commercial contracts coming up for renewal in the next couple of years. It's no secret that to maximise the value of those you want to have success on the field and be winning trophies. To do that you need to invest now in building a winning team. This is simple commercial logic. Whether it comes to pass, we shall see."

I hope he reaches his 30% soon. He's already offered to buy all of Kroenke's shares for £16,000 a share. That would already be a £24m profit for the cunt.

It is obvious to anyone who knows anything about Gervinho that he is a good buy, and he proved today at Koln he isn't out of his depth atleast. Of course we have to wait and see more of him still.

lo lo lo

I second that "lo lo lo lo" .

Dw brahs, Gervinho will come good..... lo lo lo lo

Van Persie has been given a media ban while away at the EUROs.

Gervinho will come good brahs.

Don't worry.

Fabregas was given one in 2010 and he stayed so it's just a precaution.

We might want to announce his contract renewal at a later date.

Or this is just us stalling until we can announce van Persie has signed.

We might have RvP for another season.

Ibra in talks with City apparently, I know it doesn't mean they can;t buy another striker, but I'd be surprised if they had Aguero/Tevez/RvP/Dzeko/Ibrhamovic

Would you guys let RvP go to City for like £15-20m and Tevez?

Mal, who do you get your transfer sources from on Twitter?

I don't trust twitter. I have a friend who knows his shit.. All the other stuff I know is just general stuff that's out there with everyone.

One reliable person on twitter is NorthBankLower though.

Fairplay, I'll follow him.

I have a friend like that too, he told me Meiriles (sp every time) that he was going to Chelsea like 4 hours before news surfaced of it.

My friend works at London Colney..
