So much bitterness in this thread. Looking forward to seeing him in the Premier League. Gutted it's not with us though, he's tailor made for it.How much money did you have on it at 16/1 then?
What's so wrong with that in particular? Green smileys in reply to green smileys?
A harmless (and justifiable) little dig is what I see.
Great signing. Arsenal could be a problem next season.
Good signing, not exactly a position Arsenal needed to spunk £30m on though. Most certainly means Suarez is on the way to Barcelona. Still think we have the best squad in the league and the best player (when he actually can be arsed). Luis and Costa to come, Courtois to pen a new deal, and if rumours are to be true, Pogba may also be on his way. Not bad!
If he had too much, he could be placing himself in a perilous position. And not due to the risk of losing it.
Another one? feck me, is there a whopper factory in the newbies?We'll qualify now!
Yeah. My post wasn't at all serious. I thought the tone was pretty obvious.
Well done Arsenal, he's a great signing
We definitely have better whinges here, as your post proves.
Arsenal signed a good player, we'll sign good ones of our own. Get over it.
It could have been, not to me, unfamiliar with the word blowhard (had to look it up).
Insider knowledge? Horseshit.
Arsenal have too many of the same positional player now
Why not? You think that doesn't exist?
Good signing, im jealous.
Wenger clearly building something new. It will be interesting to see next signings but Sanchez is definitely a key one for Arsenal.
I think it does. I don't think Alastair has any, though, and if I was as confident about the signing happening as he suggests he was, I'd have had a few quid on at 16/1.
Maybe now they will come in for Rooney? He would suit them very well, doubt we would sell him to a rival though.
Rooney
Excellent squad on paper, if Mourinho gets them playing then right now you have the best squad no doubt, though must say I'd have reservations about Costa.
Can't see you get Pogba anytime soon, much richer, or bigger clubs will get him before Chelsea do.
If he was willing to half his wages, and win less trophies. Then maybe.
Outstanding signing. I'm jealous and impressed.
It's not necessarily something you "possess", but to which you can gain access occasionally. For betting purposes it's illegal if you have any information that isn't publicly available. He said at the time he knew someone ITK. He got it right. So either he took a 16/1 punt on that thread and lucked out (does he try this often?) or I find it more likely that he was talking the truth. This doesn't mean he knows every secret that goes on at Arsenal.
I don't even have any ITK friend, but I do get access to ITK information at times. I've exchanged PMs with another user from here about the Fernando deal 6 months before it happened. I once was told of the exact paraphrasing the President of my club would use in a TV interview that followed that same day. I was stunned with that.
I don't think he bet on it, that was my point.
I'm fairly certain that Sanchez will be used as a centre forward.
He did bet a one-week ban. Which isn't illegal. About the money, I don't think he comes across as the sort to confess a crime in a public forum, so we'll never know.
Fair play to Arsenal. I hope they play him through the middle instead of buying a striker. Giroud is good enough for back up/plan B. Would be really exciting to see.
If they can get Khedira/Bender and some quality at full back then they'll have great team.

Pleased for them, still see them falling short in the PL as everyone else is strengthening too, (although you have to have you doubts about Liverpool just now).
Won't be long before it's out to gloat about a top signing, so Arsenal fans enjoy it!

. It was an off the cuff remark, based on another guy in this thread throwing £20 on at 16/1 because he thought (or heard) it was happening. So I asked Alastair how much he had on, since he was so convinced. It really didn't need to become a discussion about the legalities of betting on something you "know" the outcome of What's so funny about it?Rooney
Good player, but i'd rather have Di Maria. Gooo woody Sign him.
Jesus Christ mate
I didn't bet on it because I knew full well it was happening and I'm honest like that. Being the generous guy I am, I told another poster on this forum who is a personal friend about the deal and he went ahead and got £340 out of it.
You might not believe I knew anything about it. Fine. It's a mighty fine guess to say so definitely that he will sign when no-one else said so and for the fee in question to also be pretty much bang on.
Great signing for them, they still won't challenge for the title though, same bottlers, different year thats all.
It will be us, chelsea and city fighting for 1st,2nd and 3rd, you can quote me on that.

One way to sort things for Arsenal would be to allow Cazorla to leave. He's attracted the interest of Spanish clubs and doesn't sound particularly comitted
I will mate don't worry.
I can't believe the rest of football has allowed this to happen. I'm angry and confused!
Ok, ok, I got itJesus Christ mate
don't green smile me so much, I'm a sensitive soul. It's not hard to enter a discussion of this sort thinking the other person is thinking something entirely different. Seemed a reasonable line of discussion for me at the time, when I was unaware of half the information you're telling me now!A great addition to the premier league, he's a top player and i reckon he'll do better than ozil.
