Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Stu]

I think it was Simon Inglis who said he could have written Fever Pitch if he'd been egotistical enough to think anyone would want to  read it. I can't remember who said that a couple of years earlier Hornby would have written it about records he owned.

Wasn’t one of his follow up books about vinyl records or am I imagining that? I vaguely recall reading something along those lines by him.

High Fidelity.

A novel, rather than a memoir though.

I think he would go to us. At least when we win trophies , the fans would applaud him off , where If Arsenal do ever win any , very unlikely , they would just fuck off with ten minuts to go .
Footballers prefer real fans not plastics.

Not if the evidence of virtually every big money transfer ever is to be believed.

And everything bad in the last 20 years, the economic crash, the rise of the far right, global warming, Pritti Patel, war, famine and pestilence, they all go back to Lovejoy.

Hang on!

Arsenal despite all their problems still found a way to have a superb second half of the season. They will still be a very attractive proposition for him. It’s London too so there is that factor if it is important to the player. Hopefully our own Emi is able convince him that leaving was the best thing for his career and that carries enough weight for him to come our way. Having the same agent isn’t a bad thing either.

The finished a huge 6 points ahead of us.

[Jon Crofts]

The finished a huge 6 points ahead of us.

And £200 million ahead of us in terms of gross debt.

[Toronto Villa]

The finished a huge 6 points ahead of us.

The point is given where they were and where they ended up they had to improve considerably to get there. I’ve already said I think he will come to us but I wouldn’t be dismissive of what Arsenal will present as an option. They are hardly Burnley or Brighton.

Emi is the perfect person for him to have been talking to. Not just about what's going on with us at present but also the pitfalls of being at Arsenal right now.

It’d be mental to dismiss Arsenal as an attractive option to players. They still hold onto some of their allure from their successful period, even if it’s diminishing, plus there’s the London factor. They might struggle to compete against the clubs at the top, but if a player had the choice of us and them and chose us I think it would still be a bit of a coup (at least for now).

They couldn't give the slightest toss.

And they won the FA Cup last year, it's hardly like they haven't won anything since Herbert Chapman was knocking about.

[Mister E]

I think having a player choose us over Arsenal would be quite a statement. It's a test of where are for sure.

Didn't Martinez do that already?

They paid off the £120m emergency loan from the Bank of England with another loan, the skint rats.
