, Another poor performance from Arsenal, without even seeing the match i'm guessing that Arshavin was rubbish again.

Arshavin scored and he was arguably Arsenal's best player. In fact he has been in good form- he hasn't had a poor perfomance of note since he came on and scored versus Everton a few weeks back. Despite a very poor first part of the season he seems to rediscovering his form of last season.

^ On the contrary , you rejected Christian Eriksen of Ajax while he was on trial at the Bridge

At least we tried to offer him another trial. But then again, we are only interested in buying Brazilians.

Didn't Liverpool pass up the opportunity to sign Dani Alves, David Villa and quite a few others lol?

Lol never heard anything like that . Gerard Houllier did pass up the oppotunity of signing Cristiano Ronaldo though while he was on trial here . That said , United screwed up in signing Gerrard

Maybe his first 3 years, but since wearing that crash helmet he has been a liabilty for me, i'd love us to get given to replace him.

Would love to see him in England next season.

Even though Pirlo is a brilliant player, I don't really think we should get another player in his 30s when we already have quite a few.

Signing Pirlo would only be looking at the short term. You can't base your team around a 31 year old, who would require time to adjust to the league. I they needed a attacking playmaker first. Sanchez would be a great signing - would add that eccentricity that Chelsea seem to be lacking. They've just looked so stale recently.

Well at least he tried to sign a top class keeper

Precisely and short term or not, it's better to find someone younger that we can build team around with for the upcoming years.

Getting Sanchez would be great. We definitely need to get some wingers in the summer. Ever since the likes of Duff, Robben and even SWP left, we hardly play with much width and it has become predictable in recent times.

As for looking stale recently, I think we have looked pretty much that way for most parts of the season.

Manchester United's Owen Hargreaves suffers fresh injury setback - ESPN Soccernet

Just give up already. I can't even feel sorry for him anymore. It's just laughable.

 

[War]

I dont see the joke. United & England would still love to have him if he can get pass this injury curse (BIG IF of course).

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Sadly it was over for Hargreaves a long time ago. Real shame - was a fantastic player at his peak.
