Both were club rejects. Coutinho almost joined Southampton such was his low stock.

What difference does being a Club reject make? We still had to attract them here. 

Coutinho didn't almost join Southampton.

Sturridge is better than any of Arsenal's strikers.

Anyone can attract club rejects because their club doesn't want them for obvious reasons.

I'm sure Coutinho had a difficult choice. Rot in the reserves at Inter, join a relegation battling team or join the mighty Liverpool.  
Liverpool showing real ambition, fending off newly promoted Southampton to sign a player Inter couldn't wait to sell.

Walcott as a winger is a better striker than Sturridge. Liverpool had to settle for him after we refused to sell you Walcott

Scott, can you prove that Koscielny wasn't world class when we signed him?

Can you prove that he was?

My friend, this disagreement probably results from an arbitrary difference in the definition of "world class."   Koscielny is probably the 2nd or 3rd best defender in the league, but there are probably a handful of players worldwide who would edge him.

 No, I can't prove that he was. But you can't prove that he wasn't either. So, what world class players have signed recently? Cazorla, and Koscielny.

 Koscielny is the best CB in the league.  

Surely the best CB in the best league on the planet is the best in the world?

Wow, that really sounds like you can attract any player in the world!

Kompany is better.

 Well, I didn't say any player. I said almost any player. Even so, we do have a pulling power that most clubs envy.

You talk all this shit about how Inter couldn't wait to sell Coutinho, etc, when Coutinho has been a better signing than any Arsenal signing in recent years. You wish you had him. Don't even try and deny it. 

Sturridge is better than Walcott. He's also better than Giroud and Podolski. We'll see who scores the most goals this season.

Its not "shit", Inter seriously didn't rate him at all and they had a piss poor squad last season. Before Coutinho signed for Liverpool he was average at best. When your only other serious bidder is Southampton it shows what level the player is at. He has developed well and had a good half a season but so did Cisse 2 seasons ago, I wouldn't want him at Arsenal because we've already got better players in his position.

Sturridge is not better than Walcott nor Giroud. Giroud is shit but I'd much rather have him over Strurridge and as I said before it shows how much better Walcott is than Sturridge because he was actually Liverpool's number one target and they had to settle for Sturridge  

The Zlatan wrote:Arsenal are one of the top clubs is Europe and one of the top clubs in England. If a player was given the opportunity to join Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton, Liverpool, and all other teams that finished below them, 9 times out of 10 that player would choose Arsenal. That to me is pulling power. Envied by most - considering Arsenal are in the top 5th of the league and all 16 clubs below them aren't, I'd say 'most'.

Walcott was never our number 1 target. Stop talking shit.

I wonder who you'll have to settle for, now that your number 1 target, Suarez, is not joining you.
