Beckham has just announced he's going to be playing for PSG for free. His wages will be going to a local French children's charity. What a guy :wub:

Wilshere is more of a holding player really, that's where he says he's most comfortable, even if he has been pushed forward in the last few games. When Xavi was 20 he only scored a similar amount of goals too. Can't find the assists stats.

It's not necessarily true though. Some players look the business when surrounded by class players who have the movement and passing to make them look better than they are.

No I'm not, and no I don't. I back everything I say up with reasoning, whether you agree or not. What I don't do on the other hand, is go on random ad hominem rants when debating a point with someone. Debate the post, not the poster. I never dismissed Will Hughes. I said he's not at the level...

In the same way that you knew I wasn't English, yes. :facepalm:

I look at both, but when you dealing with the type of person who would deny Arsenal credit for developing Wilshere because it suits his argument, then it's much easier to use cold hard irrefutable facts. He's gone from a glorified sprinter who knew where the goals was, someone who many said...

I'd say that's a pretty noticeable improvement on what came before it. Arsenal are one of the best clubs in the country at developing players. I can't think of any other clubs in the league that takes relative unknowns and turns them into stars the way Arsenal does. Even if you want to look...

I think Robinson probably annoyed him most. Right near the end he got in a great position to lay it on a plate for Suarez but just smashed it into the stands, then when Suarez complained you could visibly see him telling him to fuck off.

:pep:

He's been crap since he first got there. Bit of a pussy, no stomach for physical battle at all.

Smile you are living in some sort of bizarre fantasy world if you believe Walcott has not developed much. His improvement over that last couple of years or so has been immense.

Bags of skill but very raw. I can see why United would feel he needed a pre-season with them under his belt.

The only way I see him leaving is if Arsenal drop out of the top four for a couple of seasons, or if Arsenal try to cash in. I don't doubt him though when he says he wants to stay at Arsenal and succeed there most of all.

Bring back Frimpong. Arteta and Diaby aren't defensive midfielders.

I'll reserve judgement until we find out how much he's getting paid in Turkey.

I would say we're the worst of the best, rather than the best of the worst, personally. Comparable to Russia yes, but easily ahead of Croatia. Last time we played them we beat them 5-1, and the time before that 1-4. His career seemed to stall ever since he started banging that lass from...

I cannot stress how wrong you are. Until the EPPP came in this year, we had been putting severe restrictions on coaching contact hours, we had a 90 minute rule that stopped the best kids getting to the best academies, we were having children play on full size pitches in 11v11 games where the...

The rumour was that he wanted £200,000 after tax... which would make him the highest paid player on the planet.

I never said anything about tiki-taka or Spain. I said they play a more progressive and possession based system. Even if that's not one you'd want at senior level, it's certainly one that's much more conducive to player development than direct football is. Yes we should aim to be more technical...
