The Sun reports this morning that Arsenal want to sign Robert Green and will offer £6 million. They allege that Green is unsettled because he has failed to get back into the England squad and that he thinks a move to a top 4 club would secure that place. I can see why Arsenal need a new goalkeeper, but they can keep their thieving hands off. Mind you, their need is not as great as that of Spurs….
is that the best you can do north london?
use tired phrases like “get a life.” seems like u lot need to get a vocabulary. and referring to people as part of a female s chest? that s clever. they teach u that in your north london comprehensives?
if yoor going to hurl insults ,because you have nothing better to do ,and remain bitter and twisted about 1980, at least show a semblance of brains .
do have nothing better to do , especially the “ozzie gooner”
yes, so much class halfwit- that you ve only beaten us once in the last 2 and half years. stick to what u do best ,no -hoper,moaning about ur rugby failure
your support ,farse ,is absolute excrement. because your “suport” consists of coming onto other club s blogs to engage in quarter wit slanging matches.
what a hopeless ,pathetic bunch of complainers the majority of the arsenal “contributors” to this thread are.
but thats what u do. you dive. you fake injury . you forget about all the money you spent despite what you receieved for henry and others. and you re dumb enough to fail to take on board that we net spent very little in the last transfer window.
arrogance is as arrogance does. 6 feet under.
oh and do tell us oh wise one. what have u won lately Farse? spend on ,insult on ,delude on .
home grown ? get real. your list of “foreign investors” is a mile long.
freddy ljungberg, not english? so what ,numbnut. one or two out of ten aint bad.
if you were that good you woudn t be wasting time arguing the toss on another club s site. but ,insecure muppets that u are, u succumb . because u are so easy to wind.
mug of the thread? AFC , who thinks he s actually scaring someone by threatening violence . what a total embarrassment . put the idiot in jail where he belongs
.
Greens not good enough for Arsenal nor are any of West Hams players so dont get your claret & blue knickers in a twist
sue- the quality of your colleague s contributions , gramatically speaking ,stinks
go back to school. or tutor your your “supporters”. insulting ,low-life miserable excuse for a human being
What have you hammers been taking an can I have some. Spent vast quantuities on cash and only at the top because we have bought our way there? If spending 500K on Clichy and 120k on Toure is blowing the bank then the 0k fee for Fabregas (EPL best midfielder) must be the sort of business you hammers do every day.
You can claim a lot of things but Arsenal buying there way to the top, i think not. a net profit on transfers season upon season. Come back when you CAN compete on the same budget. Tw@ts
did it ever occur to u sue, that nobody really gives a toss what u think? not arsenal supporters or west ham supporters, because your contribution is subpar?
it s “really not up to you” to be making inane,unsubstantiated claims about what robert green does or does not want to do with his career.
so until you have a command of the facts , shut up and shove it up.
great language “goblin ” . great example .
do your sums over the last ten years, even the last 5 years .
keep dreaming . you try to buy love, and by the looks of it, you ve been struggling,altho maybe, just maybe ,your luck cud turn this year. until the injuries hit of course.
don t lie. don t distort the facts. yes, nobody can deny that arsenal play “good football2
that is a lot better watch than what s offered by your west london neighbors.
but to pretend that over the medium to long run you don t spend more than 80-85 percent of the league is dishonest.like diving is dishonest. and like pretending you r e injured , when u aren t .
if you re so bothered Farse, then be on your way back to your own blog. nobody asked you for yourtwo penneth . if you don t like the point of view that s put forth here that s just too bad then, isn t it? you can moan all you like ,about points of view ,about grammar(good old sad -sack “sue” ,who clearly doesn t have a demanding job) , about all the injustice in the world against arsenal ,on your own blogs. nobody sought you out. you came , because you re bored, and you re so easy to wind up
west ham sit in 11th place,with a game in hand ,depite injuries to ashton, bellamy,parker,dyer,faubert,zamora and others . green is having an excellent season . it s reasonable to assume that if that injury list was a bit shorter, west ham wud be further up the table ,probably 8th, maybe 5th or 6th if the injury list was much shorter.
so with a reasonably fit side ,as is not the case now, green probably wud be getting more attention internationally . as an outsider, or someone who hasn t held the shirt ,its obviously going to be harder for him to win teh shirt if his club is in the bottom half. its different for robinson, because he laready HAS the shirt. if green takes the long view , h e ll probably see he can achieve quite a lot at west ham . this is a highly unusual set of circumstances at the moment, to have 5 or more first team players all out at the same time, and won t remain this way indefinitely. as players start to come back , starting with bellamy,the club s results will improve , as will green s chances of forcing his way into the england set-up. alumnia and lehmann ,whther the latter stays or goes, are very good keepers ,so it wud be very difficult for him to get into an arsenal side. i m sure green is flattered by the rumored interest , but i don t think it s likely that he leaves west ham. an example of what can happen if you go elsewhere ,with it being in doubt as to whether you make the first team or not, is Defoe . his career has stalled and i don t think green wud want to risk it by potentially sitting on the bench at arsenal.
funny how of all the people connected to arsenal, the manager seems to be the one who hasn t forgotten that it s very early days. to be giving it the big one ,after 9 games is just daft. Even Wenger is smart enough to accept that altho his club have started the season well ,they haven t achieved anything this season yet. the table cud look very different come january 1 . credit to him for not bellowing from the rooftops ,in contrast to some of the rude,chicken counters supportinh his team who posted on this site. there aren t many teams who have done the double over arsenal in recent years- west ham are one of the few. that s a fact, one that a few foul mouthed arsenal supporters can t escape from ,no matter how insulting or abusive their posts.
sue go back to playing basketball and do the ironing
ozzy gooner- go back to sleep and put your rugby nitemare behind you. don t export your frustrations ,conjugal or otherwise, to other continents.
goblin king
come back when u can spell,write, think , and most importantly do maths
forgotten about your cheap little brazilan ,african ,eastern european and french imports, have you?
another pathetic example of the 21 st century “rude as u like” football “supporter.”
get the facts right and do your sums next time, “clever and creative one”
if you re that good arsenal, you wouldn t be trying to brag about it. you wouldn t be getting into mindless spats with supporters of other clubs. you d let your results do the talking,instead of arguing the toss with people you don t even know, and wasting your employer s time. but you do seem to have a lot of time to waste, and despite your belief to the contrary , your grammar ,vocabulary and spelling are not top drawer.
sorry sue.
if green would definitely get a place in the arsenal side, why didn t wenger buy him in the window? it isn t as if he didn t know the limitations before the season started of the existing arsenal goalkeepers. if it s so obvious ,”aussie pseudo-know-it-all” that green would “benefit” from playing at arsenal , then why hasn t he asked for a transfer?
why? because he might benefit from a move to arsenal, and then again he might not. his wallet may be thicker, but he may find its not so easy for him to get into the side. if it WAS so easy, wenger would have bought the player in teh summer , at a price above the 9 million sunderland paid for their keeper.
do u have nothing better to do with your time “aussie” than refer to total strangers as morons, as 2 oclock in the morning australia time? beyond sad. beyond pathetic.
a lot closer to winning the 2006 FA cup final than you did to winning the
“carlton cup”
hey matmos-
10 points from 15 ,including at highbury and emirates
put that in your “knickers” when you do your wash tonite. on teh assumption you do wash.
great command of the english language your colleague showed in his post ,sue.
class act. that north london “private school education” did him and a few of your colleagues a world of good.
keep teaching the year threes sue
fabregas – best midfielder in england? right. that s why his goal production was so prolific last year. very good player ,without doubt. best midfielder? PROVE IT .
as for what arsenal spend, did you ever take into account that just because ,for one season ,you had relatively low transfer window fees, that does not discard the fact that you had , and continue to have one of the highest wage bills in the league. to deny that economics has had a vital role in your “success” (without winning trophies of late) is just plain dishonest. you want to deceieve yourself ? go ahead. the whole country knows the score with respect to arsenal s spending , over many many years. yes you have good players and good results consistently- as well you should given what you spend. it may not be what chelsea spends,but it s plenty
arsenal vs wigan last term at emirates.
the whole country saw it on tv- you effectively lost, but the referee handed you 3 points .
blacburn vs west ham. yes, we were gifted one,if not 3 points .
fulham vs west ham and the return, west ham vs fulham . 4 points stolen from referees decisons.
newcastle vs west ham . 2 points stolen by teh ref allowing a newcastle goal that was the most blatant offside of the season.
so don t go moaning about our luck at blacburn , when in 3 matches , at a minimum officials botched decisions , which we paid the price for.
don t talk tripe. talk fact
6 MILLION?!??! That guy isnt worth half of it.
it s only natural that west ham fans would not be exactly jumping for joy at this “news”
, even if it s just gossip or a rumor. no different to when reading fans began to tire of west ham being linked constantly with shorey. nobody wants to lose one of their best players ,especially at a position like a goalkeeper.
one of the most intelligent posts on this thread was the mention of this being the acid test for whether west ham has stopped being a “selling club”, letting go of future england internationals , at seemingly high prices, but then being stuck in the netherlands of mid table or worse. the new owners of west ham are different to the previous ones, and smart enough to realize that taking the ” easy option” and selling green for 10 to 15 million pounds would be a step back for the club. as for whether it would be right for green himself, that s very debatable. there s not only the issue of getting into the side, but even if he got into the side, staying there. if he had a bad two or three games in an arsenal shirt ,he might find Wenger a lot less sympathetic than curbishley, given the demands for success placed upon wenger. assuming the grass is always greener can be a big mistake, as it seems to have been for defoe. nobody can say with certainty that green would start at arsenal. if that was teh case, he d already be wearing the england shirt now. the difference between green being in the england sqaud at least , and not is very simple. ASTON VILLA. they sit in fifth place.
you can t keep david james out ,given his experience. and much as i think robinson shud no longer be first choice ,it s clear mclaren won t drop him. which leaves the third slot. with a bit more luck on the injury front, west ham would be not far behind villa , and then green might have bene included in place of carson. but without having bothj ashton and bellamy fit at the same time , we will not overtake villa , which unoftunately keeps green out of the frame. it cud be very different come november then , when with ashton and bellamy both in the side ,west ham cud be sitting between 7th and 9th , rather than between 11th and 13th,
where did all these north london fonies come from?
ian,get rid
you hear more from them on here than at there library!!!!!
Iron hoofs, face the facts, If the Mighty Arsenal want Green, there’s nothing you can do to prevent it. So carry on beating up your gums!!
Not many worth 6 million
no. you don t spend money arsenal, nota penny do u?
then how d u happen to get that new 250 million quid stadium? just fall out of the sky from the tooth fairy ,or santa claus?
and the wages you pay your players, (tho not enuf to hold onto old cashley cole) ,they re just peanuts right?
you are where you are ,whether u wish to admit or not, due to finances. beginning ,middle and end.
except in recent years you re finding it a bit harder to “compete” because of your siberian neighbor.
and now that man city ,villa and other clubs are receiving investment , and daresay even ourselves west ham united, your little cartel has been evaporating . which explains your dearth of silverware recently. funny how that hasn t really been a problem for your other “cartel ” members.
you don t like having to compete on an even playing field?
then lump it. and take your foul language, your incorrect grammar, your pseudo hard -nuts who think they can pick fights physically,on a web site ,your arrogance,your sore temper, your diving ,your pretending to be injured , your ability to get so easily wound up (like your manager ) and
shut up and shove it up
you did get one thing right, amazingly enough. for all you have spent since the premier league was formed ,and earlier, you haven t underachieved to the degree of your beloved north london neighbors
I am not suprised to see most of the west ham supporters are from underclass with no education and no class. guy who claims himself clerk says arsenal fans have no job prospects? what!!!!! so that makes him a proffesional being a post room clerk. Muppet. arsenal spend very little on wages than any clubs because they pay the kids .
Blah Blah Blah, top of the league, only boro have more english players on their books, spent less than the rest of the title contenders by a long way, dont buy the racist scumbag bowyer, the sicknote dyer and sell all of your good english players. Enjoy your mid table mediocrity chaps, you will be there for quite a while!
Green is number 3 or 4 behind Robinson and James therefore this has to be a made up story on a no news day. Wenger wouldn’t give Robinson or James a second look so Green is a dreamer if he thinks he is wanted at the Emirates.
these arsenal internet fans seem nothing better to do than look at a west ham site must be boring on they own site
Wow, I never knew West Ham fans were so bitter and resentful — where’s all this bile and vitriol coming from? Did Wenger kill your children or something? Sorry, but your spleen venting says a lot more about YOU and YOUR own personal neuroses and insecurities than anything about Arsenal.
Oh and any idiot who believes in rumours repeated by the Sun deserves any abuse he gets. I’ve lost count how many times the media (esp. the Sun) have linked Arsenal with some player or other and it was always just fodder for losers who’ve got nothing better to do than read a tabloid published for morons.
And to the idiots who think keep going on about Arsenal’s difficulties in the games against West Ham and Sunderland….last season Man United LOST TWICE to Arsenal and DREW TWICE against Chelsea. That didn’t stop them from winning the league.
RE: GOBLIN EATER
where have you got your information from on the wage bill. Every one gets a bit of luck but you had a lot of luck last season could easily of been deducted points and gone down. so stop talking tripe and talk facts. and i bet manure, chavski, the mickeys and the barcodes have all got bigger wage bills than us oh and the spuds yeah we probably have got a high wage bill that goes with success and we have had that over the past decade. SPAMMERS V SHEF UTD you certainly cheated them big time
hello spammers..seems to me that it’s you boys getting all irate on this blog. just check out the title. glad you are so proud of your recent points haul against the arse, shame you seem to have no ability in most of the other games. whilst it was a remarkable achievement for wham to make the cup final i do recall the arse making a final that year too. must be because of that team of galacticos we assembled that year. looking forward to seeing a good cup run from you boys this year.
Remember it is in the Sun……The same rag that told us in an Exclusive that Arsenal would be signing Rodrigo Palacios…………………
u want him? at 16 million we sell.
we don t want to see him go, assuming he would even want to leave . which is a very big assumption.
but at 16 million, you can have him
arsenal s exemplary youth set-up?
then why is it your impressive youth never play unless it s in the carling cup?
how many arsenal players are in the england set-up ? one,maybe two in the under 21 s,nobody in the senior side .
what have we done lately?
beaten you home and away and done the same to man utd
when s the last time u did the double on man utd?
why is arsenal being insulted for a made up media stories.surely most of you are intelligent enough to realized that this story was made up by the red top. come on people grow up. name calling on a blog. it not big nor is it clever
i would say that based on his goals and assist fabregas is the best midfeilder in england right now. maybe the question should be who is better and why?
Dude, as a huge Arsenal fan I can say the probability of us investing in an English player from a Premiership is 50/1. I bet you my left toe we won’t buy Green. Trust me.
Decent keeper, no better or worse than what we’ve already got.
Do people still read The Sun and believe any of the crap they come out with?
Not happening.
Iain, can i make a suggestion?
next time you post about arsenal, dont include the word “arsenal” in the meta tag. arsenal are second only to spurs in the list of “biggest wankers on the internet”. keep them off our sites.
Good Godfathers, I assume old Daley turned off the moderation monitor for a day there then!?
A few ruffled feathers I note.
For me, it’s pretty simple:
GREEN = ENGLISH
WENGER = Anglophobe
result: no sale
In all seriousness tho, a real test of Curbs credibility for me this one. Some of us have already questioned the guy’s pulling power in terms of the international transfer market especially. We are hoping that a season of consolidation and continued ambition by the owners in terms of speculative bids will yield a return in the close season.
Green’s departure would symbolise a kind of vote of no confidence for me, albeit that the arse is an attractive destination for an ambitious player.
Let’s hope its just a slow news week and the press are having some fun.
As a fan of Arsenal FC I must say that it’s the “big four” clubs’ duty to get the best players out of lower teams to stay competitive. Small fish might not like it, but it’s the sad truth of reality. It’s been happening for decades now and it’s not going to change in our lifetime. At the end of the day it will benefit the player’s career, his self-esteem, and his new club. If you’re not happy with the way your club’s managed – stop supporting it! Wearing a “F**k You” hat will not change a thing. I’d personally prefer Jaaskelainen, but if Green is good enough – why the hell not?
I never knew West Ham fans were this delusional, but the proof lies within the comments.
Now Now children, i have to agree with some of the arse comments, WTF would they want green for? But saying that, ATM he is better than Robinson and should be in the England squad. Anyway its all paper talk to sell papers, and the same thing that pulls loadsa punters to your website, lol.. Soz Iain!!
west ham 3 wins arsenal 1 what a joke win some trophies as arsenal have in the last 20 years not yo yo up and down the league like a whores knickers in your shit stadium and shit area of london, pathetic shed club piss off
The Hammers make me laugh…..
You’ve got nothing. who cares if you got a couple of results against us over the past couple of years – a religation battle is all you have to look forward to every year.
Some ridiculous claims from some Hammers supporters.
Play your own game and try and stay up legally this time.
gunners for life!
