Liverpool part exchange on the cards?

Posted on 17 November 2012. Tags: Speculation, Sterling, Transfers, Walcott

Written by: andifoster on November 17, 2012.

The Sun this morning linked Theo and a part exchange for Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling. The article states that Wenger will offer £8m + Theo for rising star Sterling. The fact that the story says “Exclusive” at the top of the article and even says that this is potentially a “shock swap deal” should spell it out for you. There is nothing in this story whatsoever – bar the media simply speculating where Theo could end up.

Whilst I am under no illusion that Arsenal were interested in Sterling before his move to Liverpool and whilst I’m convinced that every club (including us) with some pocket money would be interested if he became available – the article itself states that Liverpool don’t want to lose him. And with no quotes (about the player) or any form of evidence to back up this story – I have to think that it is rubbish. And just before you get excited about the quote shown – I’ll direct you to this article…..

It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Walcott end up at Liverpool – but Sterling joining us is another matter entirely.

I hope Fabianski is on the bench and we see Szczesny start in goal for us.

Not confident about the outcome of this game. Yes Chelsea have been playing poorly but they will turn it round eventually and what better time than on Monday. We really need to step up to the plate now, no more excuses, no more second chances !

As I said yesterday Chesney should start, it’s his shirt to lose and he’s done nothing wrong. Kos, Squill or Djourou need to show us they are the real deal, if they can handle the Drog they might have a future. The midfield/forward(s) need to be passing accurately and passing with some urgency.

Despite what some people think on here I feel the Arse have let me down this season (please don’t come back with second in the league, blah, blah, blah) 3pts against these tossers will go along way to putting things right.

If djourou and szcezny are both on the bench, and we lose, Ill have lost full faith in Wenger. Simple as that now. I’m fed up. If he is blind enough to field them two no-hopers over djourou, then I’m blind to see any future at club with Wenger at the helm.

Bring on the doomers and the gloomers…

Oldgoon:ers are clearly better managers than Wenger ever was…

Skid-mark is the only one who gets to define success..

Great blog though, I like your style LA!

You might be happy with The Emirates Cup in the trophy cabinet, a top four finish every season, through to the knock out stages of the CL and who knows maybe even the CC this season. If you define that as success you are easily pleased. I want something better for my team. I want AW to address the problems in the team which have been evident for a number of years. If you don’t think there is a problem with attitude and effort this season then there is no hope for you.

If you bother to check out other blogs you will find that people like OldGoon and myself are in the majority these days, people are fed up with the same old excuses and the same old average players being given chance after chance. Check the media and 99.9% of them will agree with me.

I heard that tickets for our home game against Man C went on general sale a day or two ago, could it be that people don’t have the money because it’s Christmas or are people getting just a bit pissed off with things over there ?

Look forward to your reply !

veepee

You heard, did you actually confirm? Why don’t you do that first? It may add credibility to your assertion.

Will this do for you -

Paper tickets purchased through Friends and Family or on General sale will be dispatched to the lead client’s registered address . In the unlikely event that members do not receive their tickets, please contact the Box Office on 0207 619 5000 (option 1 for ticketing) the day before the game. The lines are open 09.30 to 17.00.

I’m not sure how the Arsenal ticket exchange works but you could register on there and see if you can get any. Also, it doesn’t say sold out for Arsenal v Man City (Jan 5th) yet.

I thought I’d confirm all that for you.

You know, if two people claim the same thing, it doesn’t make that statement more true. It’s just two fools agreeing with each other.

There is more to football than winning trophys. It’s not that I wouldn’t like for my club to win, it’s that I think that we have done very well considering the circumstances.

Arsenal is the Toyota of football clubs. Slow like a turtle, but steady in it’s progress. Once a level is achieved, it is never dropped.

There is a philosophy to the Arsenal way. That philosophy is larger than any trophy, any player, any individual fan. All those come and go, but Arsenal stays. I stand behind that philosophy and the idea of doing it by our means, not any means necessary. We don’t borrow to gain success, we do it on our own merrit.

Thank you for your fools comment all very philosophical but you obviously haven’t bothered to check out the other blogs, if you had you would be able to gauge the fans feelings. Check them out you’ll be surprised. Here’s one for starters Le Grove.

Considering the circumstances ! There’s too many for me to go into to be honest but you can have this one AW persists with average players and when he does buy (Kos & Squill) he still buys average ! With the money spent on them why not buy one quality signing and promote Bartley from the reserves for example !

I could be wrong but have you ever been to a game ? Stood on the North Bank, travelled across the country to support them or do you support them from a far ? Nothing wrong with that of course, but I’m guessing if you had done the above you might feel differently.

By the way the Toyota analogy isn’t a great one. This year in Britain they had a number of cars recalled because they were faulty ! But then again the Arse have gone backwards this year compared with the last 5 years !

Mik

ah so you also suffer from the “everyone knows everything” problem. Whom should Wenger have bought with the funds? Arsenal have gone backwards? And Le Grove readers are mostly a bunch of stupid teenagers who never worked or even managed a team in their life.

Thanks for responding to my post I was hoping it would be the person it was intended for but you’ll do.

I don’t claim to know everything but stand by what I’ve said. Samba, Huth, Roger Johnson, Dann, Hangeland and Cahill are all better than Kos and Squill at the moment and they are just players with Premier League experience. Kos played well last night but was at fault for the goal. LF is not for me. I would have Chesney starting, if not Chesney go get Given. Don’t come back at me and say LF is better than Given I’m not having that !

Pick any of the previous four or five seasons and our points total this season (35/54) would probably have us down at fifth or sixth and out of the title race that’s a fact ! It’s only because this season no ones got any consistency that we’re still in it. With home defeats against the Premier League powerhouses of WBA and Newcastle and the total disaster that we had against the Spuds, not turning up to play Man U the other week, the Braga performance (they were rank) did you watch us away at Sunderland that was a dreadful performance from us you don’t think we’ve gone backwards ? You need to pay attention a bit more. I can’t see how you can disagree with anything in this paragraph but I’d be happy for you to try.

My point about the other blogs still stands. I was trying to point out that it’s not just me and a few others on here who thinks things need to improve. There are plenty of others out there it’s not a small minority. If you bother to check out the media they all agree we need to buck our ideas up.

With all the top teams faltering this should have been our season lets keep our fingers crossed it is.

Hopefully you’ll have the time to reply once you’ve finished your management duties.

I love Wenger as a coach, but if Djourou and Szcezny are both fit and he sits them both on the bench, I will for the first time ever doubt his ability to continue as the coach of AFC.
