But the news comes as Liverpool are on the brink of losing star striker Fernando Torres to Chelsea, who are working to seal a deal for the Spaniard before the January transfer window closes at 2300 GMT on Monday.

A very technically gifted player who works hard, not too far from the "Gerrard" mould. Initially I thought the 20 million you spent on him was a bit much, but in time he has developed as a player and now shows the signs he did when he first kitted up for Sunderland.totsreds08 wrote:I'm probably going to get laughed at for this but fair play to hendo. He has certainly stepped up and last night was great for us. He was a leader and I couldn't be happier for him. He can certainly be a future player for us if he keeps this up. Lucas is also a boss. Good to see players up when gerrard is out.
Possibly a good pairing with Cleverley for England after the stalwarts give it up..........

Put him in an average side (like England, sadly), and he's rubbish. OK when he gets space, but not international standard really.Outlaw 2.0 wrote:A very technically gifted player who works hard, not too far from the "Gerrard" mould.

Re: EPL 2013/2014
Dont know why i bothered to get up and watch Arsenal this morning. Flat performance and we only decided to really play in the last ten.....fair enough Chelsea parked the bus, but if we want to be considered title contenders we have to show more energy and urgency. Give Podolski a start next game and rest Oziland Giroud, they are looking tired.
Re: EPL 2013/2014
Four games without a win now for Arsenal, not sure where to go with this but seeing as Liverpool got some slack for only winning a game 3-1 surely this is worth some banter.... ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

As for ozil stepping up in big games, only in the man city game he was clearly beaten, seems to be right up there in assists etc, which has been his trademark, hence why he was bought, def not for his goalscoring capabilities.

P.S. I think Young had already long lost the ball anyway, so Webby was about right. Should have booked Welbeck for a blatant dive as well.

Re: EPL 2013/2014
And maybe if Young didn't dive every week and earn a bad reputation, it may have been given. Suarez used to not get frees for the same reason and has since cleaned up his act. In the eyes of the ref, Young probably appeared to dive even though he didn'tNice One Cyril wrote:Have to laugh at Moyes complaining about his ref Howard.

Bendtner the same, Verminator & Arteta still awaiting test results, Ramsey & Gibbs still a couple of weeks away. Giroud could be back for this weeks game.. time to step into the market Mr Wenger. We cant let our EPL title ambitions fall to the way side with our lack of action in the market..
