Grabbing him or Kagawa would be fantastic for the Gunners. Lol at John Ruddy. I guess he'll have to pay to watch the Euros now! | ||

Admittedly there are teams that have a higher wage structure and can pay well over the odds for players, but there always are. If Arsenal want to remain financially responsible then they can't go head to head with those teams for players. Kagawa is a decent aim but Hazard is probably beyond us simply because of how bloody highly he rates his services. We have Podolski and look like we're getting M'Vila. Now if we can get some players to shore up the back line I think we're in good shape to actually challenge for things next year - it's always next year for Arsenal...  - but I really think, considering how ramshackle we were at the start of the season and yet still managed to finish third, that we're still in that very top tier of English football. A few tweaks, the right signings, get rid of the deadweight and we're in good shape. We just need to keep RvP and we're cushty.Hazard is playing teams off against each other in an effort to raise his wages - the guy is turning into a real media-whore. I've seen him say he will be playing at this club or that all year, and I have to say as good as he supposedly is, I don't want him. He sounds like a problem we would do well to avoid. Just wanted to add that while Hazard is playing the teams off for the moment, he doesn't really seem the type that will cause any troubles once he signs for a team. He has been very loyal to Lille in the past and never been one to cause any troubles. I would be aiming to get the best contract possible as well tbh, but by now it dragged on long enouf and he should just sign already. And M'Vila would be a great catch, enormous potential in that player. | ||

Yes to treat his growth issues, although I do not believe he takes them anymore. They are what Barcelona bought him with. | ||

I'm thinking it probably wouldn't even be able to compete past most men's semi-pro leagues. Thoughts? Just clone Marta 10 times and make a team with her. | ||

Thoughts? stamina wise yes but their spirit and technique is on par with men's abilities The women WC was better than WC2010 from a spectator's point of view. | ||

If there is an aspect were women are on par with men it's stamina...and spirit maybe, that's true. € Maybe you liked the women WC, I found it absolutely horrible to watch, it was really low level. The thing is, atleast in Germany(and our female national team is usually pretty good) the players are mostly not even professionals, so you can't really compare men and women just because of that. | ||

LOL, i hope you are kidding. I watched a nations match a few weeks ago, Germany vs X (can't remember) and it was painful to watch.. like watching a youth game on TV. Sorry but men and women football is not really compareable in terms of class or skill, just leave this discussion out. | ||

It will be amazing to watch penalties, and see how many of the lovely ladies actually hit the target, and if they do, how many easy saves the goalkeepers fail to make! | ||

a good match can be very entertaining, as due to their lack of stamina and maybe even a weaker tactical aspect (compared to men), their matches look like 1970 football, which is a great thing. | ||

It's obvious that they are much worse than men in technique/stamina, but there are a few exceptions, as there are obviously some incredibly talented girls. a good match can be very entertaining, as due to their lack of stamina and maybe even a weaker tactical aspect (compared to men), their matches look like 1970 football, which is a great thing. Spot on analysis. | ||
