Lucas Torreira

I like the complaints of " why did we let Arsenal have him?" Like on that page, one guy is wondering why they LET us have Torreira and Auba! As if they have first dibs on every available player in world football. I know Man United are traditionally a big club, but still, that arrogance! You got Fred, deal with it :sunglasses:

No one in their right mind would go to that sack of shit right now, they couldn’t even get a CB in the summer and that was before they were this embarrassing.

Hate reading RedCafe is better than hate reading the Spurs subreddit.

But none of them are as good as the RAWK Meltdown twitter account.

I like reading those better when there’s some ‘pfft, haha no way will Arsenal get him’ comments. Loved reading Liverpool forums when we signed Alexis. :laughing:

Did forums exist when we signed Campbell from the Lane? They’d be worth a read.

In fact, I’m not quite sure how the world just didn’t explode of awesomeness that day

For sure internet Forums existed in 2001, but I’d be really surprised if there’s anything of immediate reaction to Campbell’s transfer to us in existance anymore :smiley: I know some of the really old school members on here saying there was an Arsenal forum of some sorts around that time, pre OA days.

Edit: Check out the first post in the Origins thread on Arsenal boards.

That forum was run by the club I believe. But even in 2001 transfers still broke over teletext :grin:

Arseweb has been going on for years and years.

Really informative stuff. Detailed match reports, anecdotes from fans who went to Anfield in 1989, a whole lot of interesting tidbits. You could be on that website for hours and not get bored.

Wow clicking in there is a throwback. All the ads on the left and weird loading sequences.

Haha we were linked to Clive Platt of Walsall and Roberto Carlos of Real Marketing in the same close season

My favourite part

Why not? This is the new Arsenal, not the one under Wenger that was stuck in a rut, with absolutely not hope for improvement. Who is to say we don’t keep improving under Emery, add a few more good players like Torreira in the next 2 or 3 windows, and have a team that is capable of standing up to the likes of City and Liverpool and hold their own in the Champion League. If we get there, I don’t think players will want to leave us.

TBH if they came in they could have outbid us on wages/fees for either. It’s what happens nearly every time they come in for the same player. We wanted Kagawa, Depay, Mkhitaryan, Schneiderlin, Martial off the top of my head and they just paid money on each of them that we weren’t willing to match.

Right now their transfer business and incorporation of new players is pretty bad. There’s no long term strategy there

Ugh was furious when they signed Schneiderlin. Thought he would have turned out to be an amazing player. :gabriel:

Have to own up and cosign this statement, I thought he was the best thing since sliced bread.

Still kinda convinced he’d have been good for us, despite forgetting he existed at least a year ago because he’s so irrelevant.

Captain next season for me…Give it to him early, make him proud to be a Gunner, a leader, a legend!!!
