hahaha, that was great to see, when you see players like wilshere crying like a baby over a little free-kick, you just love to see them get beat

 

[bluelife]

Anyone got a gif of the sigurddson free kick?

 

[Ring master]

Og in the german game from the centre circle lol

well in swansea, puts our result against them last week into perspective.

 

[Walken]

Exactly. They overpaid and so did we.

Surely Sanchez should have cost 60m if you are trying to make some kind of wages/transfer fee link?

by your tremendous logic, shouldn't we factor Coleman's transfer fee in as well

 

[LinekersLegs]

Superb display from Swansea, they could easily have folded after the goal and not having got yet another cast iron penalty.

 

[toffeejack]

our team from last season finished well above this season's arsenal btw. sanchez has improved them drastically, chambers and welbeck have been good signings as well - not too sure why they've all of a sudden become worse, suppose they've had terrible injury luck.

Well no one knew what Coleman would develop into - and let's not forget it did take 4/5 years for him to develop. Paying over 20m I think you have a right to expect quality from the get go which is why in my mind a direct comparison between Lukaku and Sanchez is fair.

that match was won between the managers, it's painfully obvious wenger is spent. he is clearly holding arsenal back, this squad should be challenging for the title, no doubt in my mind.

i like referring back to it because it's a great example, when united were playing reading a few years back, rafael was getting torn to shreds and they were 3-2 down after 30 mins, fergie didn't hesitate and slinged rafael off after just 30 mins. united went on to win the game 4-3 or 5-3 if i remember. chambers was getting ripped to pieces by montero all game, wenger was lucky that swansea still hadn't scored, he HAD to change it, just HAD to - but his stubborness got the better of him. montero rips chambers apart again to set up the winner.

monk on the other hand, could have easily left bony on, wasn't having a great game, but he's their best player, their lead scorer, but it was a ballsy move to take him off and gomis wins the game.

 

[toffeejack]

Isn't Davies a left back, being kept out of the team by Rose?

yeah laughably

 

[toffee matt]

Can see Wenger leaving at the end of the season

 

[toffeejack]

Just on my way back from Coventry. What a great 97 minutes of football. The proper fans are completely made up, as is this part time supporter.

fantastic result that

Sanchez is four years older, has a wealth of experience from barca and udinese, is on twice the wages rom is, and a hell of a lot further down the line development wise, the comparision is ridiculous

And cost only 7m more.

Your argument is to impute future return from Rom to justify an inflated price tag (an argument which by the way is looking shakier by the week)

haha, i hope we're not still linked with him
