Any news on Sahin? Latest I heard he rejected Pool's bid because he wanted to come to Arsenal, which would be sweet. Could also be a load of shite, of course.
Signed a deal with Pool according to Real Madrid tv on Saturday? They said he will be unveiled at Pool on Tuesday.

Most of teams' successes are based on a well oiled club philosophy where every team in the club from the youngest youth teams to the first team plays the same style. Whenever someone pumps a lot of money in a club it takes a few years before they finally know how to use those resources. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't it also take a while before Chelsea won a bunch of stuff after Abramo took over?
I guess, but Chelsea were 2nd in the league to unbeaten Arsenal. Finished in the Semi Finals of Champions league, and lost in the domestic competitions. But it wasn't that bad of a season, we did lose 7 times thought i guess xD
Mourinho came in and did a similar thing though, added another 4-5 players to the 3-4 Raneri bought in and still won the league comfertably and a domestic cup

3-4 years to be godly EPL team is pretty good going imo, all leagues have been bought, my advice is to get over it and enjoy the games

Played for Vitesse in Holland. They're like.. just below sub-top here at the moment but some Georgian with ties to Abramovich is pumping money in the club. They made 7th place in the league last year. When he came to the club he made bold statements like 'in 3 years we will be champions of the league'. Everyone basically following Dutch football found that statement to be hilarious.
Buttner is a nice talent though. Many critics in Holland actually rank him amongst the top left backs we have though that's not saying much. Shame he didn't get to come to the Euro2012 because he's definitely better than the 18 year old starter that van Marwijk used (lol).
He's also a bit older than Willems but honestly he's not united level and I doubt he will be even when he plays at his full potential. He's more a player for clubs like atletico if he plays his best.

Yeah I guess I just find it sad that so many good players waste their talent and go to dream clubs where they're never gonna play

He can always look for a move away.. He has a chance to make it Big in one of the Biggest Clubs in the World...What's sad about that? If he does well he will surely replace Evra (I really hope someone does)...If he doesn't , well tough luck.

Meh they get bought and then spend a while being loaned out, seems to be the style of the big clubs now. Spend early and you avoid being gouged for huge sums. Better to buy a player from Anderlecht than Everton.
Now Song? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WENGER? That's it. FUCK ARSENAL. I refuse to support a club that has CHOSEN to become a feeder club. Good luck trying to stay in the top half of the table.
