The shit we are having to climb out of is,

1. Inadequate, over paid squad

2. Not time to buy new players

3. Totally inexperienced youth, because they have never been given even a chance, meaning we are blooding our youngsters all at once.

So this is the shit we are trying to climb out of all because of Mr Oneil.

Also add in the fact that our squad had forgotten how to play football and we are having to adjust to a different style of playing during a difficult run of games. It's been great to see Houllier and his team reverse some of the dumb mistakes which we all knew MON was doomed to repeat time and again, but it's taking it's time to work it's way through.

Of course MON walking out when he did has played a part in our poor season so far, that's fairly obvious, but we can't keep laying the blame totally at his door.


He didn't just walk out and take his ball with him. He took EVERYTHING!!!!
When Houllier showed up, there would have been no-one at the training ground to meet him. Coaches, physio, tea-lady....all fucked off with MoN.

Edin Dzeko - Who is he ?

I heard a lot of club want to buy him for their new striker.

No idea who is he and never seen him play.  Is he any good.

I'd take keane at the right price , natural finisher - friedal is slow to get down and is past his best, what's worse is that guzan
is far worse than friedal- I cannot see either being here next season.

Rosicky.. Yes please.

The guy is quality, I love how he can keep the ball under pressure and would certainly provide more opportunities for gabby.

I don't think he would leave Arsenel for us though sadly.

Clampy, considering the money he spent did o neill rally leave that good a squad behind? How many of our players would get into a top 5 side at the moment- James milner was the engine behind our team and we are missing him far more than we are missing o neill!

Houllier will get it right and take us further than o neill did but he will need time and patience to build his squad.

Thought he was good at Dortmund but hasn't shown anything at Arsenal he's spent more time on the treatment table than he has on the pitch, this coupled with his age (30) makes him a no go for me. A good player but if Ireland can find some form and settle in he can be twice the player.
