    Wondering if we could create a separate World Cup 2014 thread. There will be a lot to talk about for those who like soccer; unexpected results, spectacular plays, bad referee, fans/Brazilian culture, etc. It is an event that occurs once every four years and would be fantastic to have a...

    Along with the upcoming WC, it is also transfer period in Europe. Though the market activity will only begin earnest with the conclusion of the WC, there are some moves initiated at the moment. One rumor/reports that are out there that really annoys me is the one about Cesc Fabregas. As a...

    The final shot of the game by Giroud was really close. Would have really have been a beauty if it had gone in. I agree with you, Arsenal shouldn't have allowed the equalizer. Arsenal really needs an extra striker and a proper winger as well. We've relied too much on Ramsey and Giroud for the...

    I completely agree with you here. I am really excited the way that Arsenal is playing and can't wait for all the injured players to return. They are going to play a beautiful passing game and personally I think they are the best team; I think the game against Chelsea (Oct 29) and Liverpool (Nov...

    I wonder how long Mourinho's leash is this time around. He will clearly need time to develop Chelsea, especially with the young players they have signed the past couple of years. Mourinho is a successful manager and I'm a firm believer of giving managers enough time to sign and develop the squad...

    Come to think of it, Gooner fans should be thanking the Tottenham brass for making the Ozil transfer possible. I doubt Arsenal could have ended up with Ozil without the Bale sale to Real Madrid.

    I think Ozil will play the advanced playmaker role as you suggest. But I don't think it will be Wilshere filling in for Ramsey. I think Ramsey is being developed to eventually takeover Arteta's role. I see Wilshere starting alongside Ramsey. When Arteta comes back, I see him mixing a lot with...

    Since Ozil can play both RW and LW along with the CM/AM position, there are lots of formations I can see Arsenal playing. For instance, I can see Ozil taking Walcott's RW position and Walcott sliding into the striker role (the position he desperately wants and to give Giroud a rest). Or Ozil can...

    I think it is being finalized at the moment. Seems like he has undergone medicals so the signing should be official pretty soon. I've been reading about a potential Pastore, Ba and Abel Hernandez signings but nothing concrete at the moment. Ozil along with a couple more signings would make...
