£17M for Johnson is crazy, more so on the basis that I've always thought he's rubbish at defending. That said, I've now seen him play one half of a preseason friendly and he was amazing, so I've clearly misjudged him.
So it's not true that you emigrated at the end of last season! Welcome back.
Last season it was a freakish accident you finished second but still we were always comfortably placed with seven or 10 points ahead.
The best thing about no longer being a regular is the inaccurate and hilarious emigrate style gags when I do pop in...
as I said, the best full back I've ever seen and a snip at £17m, if I was SAF I'd have ploughed at least half of the ronaldo fee into a bid for him, but I don't think he'd have come anyway as it's obvious we're on the slide and liverpool are set to dominate the next decade.
We were immense last season and are going to go into the new campaign with a lot of confidence. If Torres stays fit and we keep our side together we've got a great chance
We would miss him in the CL but Ronaldo always inspired us in comebacks when we slipped down the table during midseason. If we get off to a good start and not losing needless point I dont see any reason why we cannot win the league.
Well we have managed to wind the red half of Merseyside up without actually spending a penny on our latest signing, and we didn't spend 17million on Glen Johnson. So all in all I am quite satisfied.
If the emigrate gags were innacurate, then where were you hiding?
But still we were comfortably leading the table by 7 or 10 points even with less than eight games to go before we took our foot off the pedal.
You'll miss Ronaldo in both the league and Europe. He scores a daft number of goals that aren't going to be easily replaced and creates loads of space for other players
You've managed to wind up a lot of your own fans without spending a penny on Owen an all.
Last season Ronaldo wasnt our best player overall.
Not hiding, just rarely post anymore.
He wasn't as good as the previous season, but was still the top goalscorer in the league. That's a huge impact
For any top team missing a player like Ronaldo it would take two seasons to recover, but we already have a young and talented squad and this season there could be new stars in the making.
Difficult to know what to make of Chelsea this coming season. Pretty much same team as last season when they looked surprisingly ropey for much of the season and have another new manager to settle in. That said, they've got a lot of ability and if Drogba's more motivated than last year they've got a good chance.
Nah, I reckon most of our fans are okay with the Owen signing. Those that don't rate him as a player can still take satisfaction in knowing it's pissed the Dippers of royally.
I don't think they'll miss Tevez much. Losing Ronaldo's goals makes it more important to get a striker who'll "guarantee" a shedload of goals - Tevez isn't that, and neither are Rooney or Berbatov. Owen can be but we all know the risk there
Im judging Chelsea in the Hiddink era
It'll piss us off if he does well, if he flops we'll be delighted.
Frankly most gooners are glad to see the back of him - his attitude stank - made clear last summer with his will I wont I with AC Milan followed by a season of 'I could'nt careless' performances and undermining the dressing room. If its 25 mill then we're laughing. Fk him
Eh?
Yep, out wide is certainly our weakest area. There's sod all decent wingers around tho. I'd have liked to get another left sided player in, but our current formation gets us loads of goals.
He did come across as a tit, think you need a decent "big man" to replace him tho. Not sure Bendter's up to it
Yeah I get the ego thing. One of my manc "mates" said on Ronaldo leaving "I can now finally admit that he's a horrible cheat and a fecking cock". Huge miss in terms of ability tho.
