The Vardy comparison probably comes from him only really having one good full season in the top flight, and seemingly coming from nowhere at a late(r) age. Like you said it's pretty low risk for the price we'll be paying, and it will be interesting to see what he can do with better players...

We're getting Deportivo's striker Lucas Perez. Don't know much about him but seen him described as a Spanish Jamie Vardy. This doesn't scream panic buy at all. In truth though he'll hopefully be a good alternative when Giroud's 10 game goal drought comes along and he can also play on the wing.

We were lucky. Thank god for Koscielny though. Thought Holding did well too.

Sanchez up top doesn't work. I don't understand why we're doing this, at least we've had good performances with Walcott up front but Sanchez has never worked. I want Elneny on for Coq.

The BAME bit isn't that damning, though. We've had this in a thread in the current affairs forum. I don't have time to go in great detail atm, but the 156 BAME deaths in police custody since 1990 is part of the 1563 figure for all deaths, and so roughly 10% of all deaths are BAME, whilst BAME...

Taking our sweet time.

No, and it would take him somehow winning the league to change my mind (and even so, that would be a good time to go). At the moment his lack of planning and ambition is hurting us. We need to bite the bullet at some point and with Wenger in charge everything at the club seems...comfortable? The...

This one is on Wenger. The signings we need should have been made a month ago, we were short for this one and it's cost us 3 points already. Poor management again. Every season his pondering in the transfer market costs us at the start of the season. 3 points could be big come end of season...

I think that will be a mistake. Can see Rooney dropped before too long. Pogba isn't that great defensively, he's definitely more of an attacking box-to-box. Have to remember that at Juventus he had possibly the best defense in the world plus Marchisio/Khedira/Pirlo/Vidal sitting alongside or...

Except a gun was found. You have to put yourself in the position of the police here, they pull up a bloke who they know has a gun and is supposedly on a way to a revenge attack, they are going to be on edge and fearing for their own lives. People take it for granted that these officers were...

No I'm not. What do you think they achieved today? Reading the comments online all they've done is piss a lot of people off. Not exactly 'fighting the power' is it. Their hatred towards the police really was misdirected toward Martha and her family trying to get to Fuengirola for a few days. It...

It's a load of horseshit. The UK race problem is minimal compared to that of the US, it's much more a class issue. All BLM does is in the UK is create an us vs them mentality when there isn't one, it's divisive and irresponsible. These people are often more racist than the people they chastise...

Breathe easy JimJams. :hesk: As suspected we're not in for a winger. A striker and a defender are definitely more pressing concerns so no surprises there. We need to get a bloody move on though.

I reckon we'll see the best of him again this year. His best season with us by far was when he partnered Arteta who gave Ramsey a lot more freedom to roam around the pitch as Arteta could control the game whilst being our defensive midfielder. When Ramsey played with Coquelin Ramsey was required...

Ben Chilwell is about to sign a new Leicester contract despite interest from Liverpool. Imagine being rejected by a Leicester player.

We've signed Rob Holding from Bolton. Never seen him play but he sounds a promising player. The website announcement also said 'We remain in the market, so stay close to Arsenal.com for any further transfer news' which is...an unusual thing for the club to say outright. Perhaps another player...

Very interested to see if this allows Erdogan to double his grip on power or exposes his lack of control.

Shame. Will be interesting to see how this progresses over the next few days. Erdogan seemed to get his supporters out in force tonight but there is plenty who would rebel against him. Taksim square is in for a busy fee nights. I fear Erdogan just has too many people under the thumb, the result...

Yep and it's worrying too hear that civilians are being shot on. But my uncle is Turkish and from speaking to him even Erdogan's supporters are becoming increasingly tired of Erdogan is recent months, especially with his attitude towards Syria. The military have been clever to be fair, usurping...

This is amazing. Who is writing the 2016 script...fucking hell. Really hope the Turkish military pulls this off.
