WTF happened, and I didn't see it!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Anyone got a link to download/watch the game. I HAVE to see this.

Also first goals in 2012 for Chamakh. More goals in this game than in two years. I have no idea how he scored the goals, but he may have a chance to come back into the team a bit with Gervinho out if he performed well.

Don't sign da ting, Theo!

You want him, eh?

He's a Liverpool fan and based on the way that Wenger would rather play a guy who can't score for the reserves (Chamakh) ahead of him at centre forward, he really shouldn't sign the contract.

Not sure why you'd want him though when I've heard rumours linking you to Huntelaar and Llorente.

 

[puddleduck]

Because neither Huntelaar or Llorente will go to Liverpool

Rumours are rumours for a reason.

I really hope Theo leaves Arsenal and goes and actually plays up front. He's so blatantly a striker it's ridiculous.

 

[War]

Hmm i wouldn't say he is "blatantly" a forward. Some think he could be a bit hit & miss in that role. But i reckon he deserves an extended run as striker after years of being played as a winger, which he claims is not his most comfortable position.

Wenger doesn't seem like he is going grant him his wish, so he probably should leave them yea & liverpool could suit him for all we know.

Huntelaar has basically been linked with everyone, even Spurs.

Hmm interesting this, they are indeed alot of fellas in the England of Jamaican heritage. Including guys like Junior Hoilett and Jermaine Pennant. However i hope young Sterling rejects their advances and plays for England.

Heh, yeh I forgot about that.

Someone like Osvaldo would be better IMO. Liverpool need a striker so bad so that Suarez can finally stop playing there, it doesn't solve very much buying another guy who has no experience playing as a striker.

Noooo!! He's merely the Italian Andy Carroll!

 

[thedon5]

Really? I admittedly have only seen him a handful of times, but he has impressed me when I have seen him.

 

[Haarithan]

Yeah more or less. Scores some absolute stunners, but more than makes up for the same through missing some absolute sitters. Extremely effective when the ball's hoofed up high (as in Andy's case). Though I'll just admit that he has got better ball control/dribbling skills than AC.

Never understood what impressed Cesare Prandelli to consider him as our (Azzurri) second/third choice striker (on par with Destro) after only Balotelli, especially when we've got the likes of Stephan El Shaarawy (who scored again yesterday!), Gilardino and of course the likes of Cassano and Di Natale as well, though the latter's age doesn't really help his case.

Yea Osvaldo is a bit of surprised selection. But its shows Italy's recent depth, especially when you consider Rossi is sure to come back from injury and be a force.

What you think about Veratti @ PSG?. I haven't seen him play, but some saying he could be Pirlo's long term replacement?

At long last, Wes Hoolahan gets an Ireland call-up. About bloody time.
