Sparky has £100m kitty


even if he gets all the players he wants :

Roque Santa Cruz, Craig Bellamy, Chelsea left-back Wayne Bridge, Arsenal centre-back Kolo Toure and Everton defender Joleon Lescott and Shay Given...

how much would Man City have improved ?? they might just get out of relegation thats all... nothing more...and once the owners spend that amount of money now, wonder if they can splash out some more cash in the next transfer season when there is a possibility of getting some big players !!!

these oiled idiots have so much money

[tuxybuzz]

money cant buy man city anything..not with mark hughes there..

[Rahim]

Kolo Toure's request for transfer has been rejected by Arsenal officials.

[Arsenal_Gunners]

ESPN Star have lost the FA cup TV rights in India to Sony pix that will show a movie instead of Arsenal vs. Plymouth
It is ridiculous really,not showing the 10 times FA cup winners playing even when the time slot is free.

[iinfi]

^^too bad...
i dont understand who givs telecast rights to channels which are not sports channels.
is it Sky or prasar bharti which is responsible for the bidding and assigning rights?

[Joker]

i also support Arsenal.

Chelsea punish the whining striker

[Kl@w-24]

Wayne Bridge could be moving to Man City... He was a good bloke, but it's better for him to move on because he has hardly any chance of re-taking his left-back slot any time soon.

Yuri Zhirkov on his way to Chelsea?

Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari is ready to turn to CSKA Moscow’s Yuri Zhirkov after last night agreeing to sell defender Wayne Bridge to Manchester City for £12million.

Full back Bridge is due at the City of Manchester Stadium on Friday to thrash out personal terms, thus ending what has been a largely frustrating five-and-a-half-year stay at Stamford Bridge.

And he sees Zhirkov, nicknamed ‘Russia’s Ronaldinho’, as a versatile replacement for a player he has been reluctant to see leave.

We've got too many good players for one position, that led to Bridge getting just a few games every year. I mean, with Terry, Alex, Carvalho, Bosingwa, Ferrara and Cole already in the defence, it would be pretty hard for Bridge to get a game.
Thus, we lose another player because of this issue
Anyway, hope Big Phil has played his cards right this time (like he did with Deco, Bosingwa)

[Arsenal_Gunners]

I think Deco is turning out to be bit of a flop.

[Cool Joe]

Deco was good in his first few matches at Chelsea, but after his injury, he's been disappointing.

Welcome to the pie-throwing-pitch...err...thread

Chelsea's big guns are going through a rough patch just like any other team
"Form is temporary, Class is permanent" as we hear so much with our kirkitt commentators

[red_devil]

Given ready to quit toon....

“Having served the club loyally for over 11 years, Shay feels compelled to consider his position in the light of the interest being expressed in him by Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham.”

Man City fine... but Arsenal ?? he wont be the first choice and i dont think he'd want to go to a team where chances of him starting would be very less !!

[ico]

i also support Arsenal.

WTF! Since when you started supporting Arsneal???

[Kl@w-24]

ManU sign Serbian pair

Manchester United have signed Serbian duo Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic from Partizan Belgrade.

[Rahim]

^I hope Chelsea learns the importance of investing in young players than buying super grand-daddys (no offence).

[Kl@w-24]

^ ^ ^ So do I, but not like Arsenal.

He will be easily the first choice at Arsenal if we buy him.He is the best in PL after Cech and maybe Reina.Almunia is good but he can't command his defenders that well.
But I don't think Wenger will buy him as he promoted Almunia and even made him captain

[red_devil]

^ thats why i said he might not get a lot of starts....

and finally Fergie has gone on and bought those couple of youngsters...there was so much speculation wrt them joining Man U....

[Arsenal_Gunners]

IF Wenger buys him he will play every game.

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-arc...-in-shay-given
So we are sticking with Almunia as expected.

[gaurav_indian]

^^ Madrid will buy Wenger.

[Rahim]

Man CIty agrres to buy Wayne Bridge from Chelsea.

[red_devil]

^ and apparently Scholari didn't have a clue about it ...

[ read this bit on The Sun but now when i checked their site, that article is nowhere to be found.... ]

[Kl@w-24]

^ ^ ^ The papers just want to cook up something that will attract readers. If Scolari sneezes, they'll make up a story that all is not well in the dressing room.The idiots.

And it's just not possible that Scolari wouldn't have a clue about it. Bridge was a part of the first team. Scolari's comments have been misinterpreted earlier too, because his native tongue is not English. Probably to avoid a similar situation, he now deflects any questions that could harm the club or himself.

[red_devil]

^ yeah even i realized it...

< but the funniest part is that article is nowhere to be found on The Sun's site.... i guess even they got ashamed of spreading all nonsensical stories around on the net >

[Kl@w-24]

^ ^ ^The Sun, ashamed???

Probably decided it was too much of a risk!

[Cool Joe]

Damn I just realized I don't get Sony Pix.

[Kl@w-24]

^ ^ ^ Even if you did, they're not showing the match anyway.

[Cool Joe]

These guys should stick to broadcasting their stupid movies and let the sports channels do their job.

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Good Arsenal stream
