ESPN's info is very wrong then. Lots of mistakes. The Forster one is just the first I saw.

I'd put Hull as a loser due to them failing to strengthen before getting knocked out of the Europa.

Meh. It's not like staying in Europa would have been very beneficial for them.

ETA: If they could make a deep run, sure, but don't know how possible that would've been.

It's sad that Europa League is this way but it is.

It would be better for the game if a Hull (or Torino etc etc etc) weren't so pressured by maintaining salvation in a cut throat league that qualifying for Europe often becomes a potential nightmare more than a chance for their fans to celebrate big atmosphere matches and clubs with little else to ever really win can go all out for some glory.

It's disingenuous to call Arsenal a "loser" on the transfer market when every player sold was replaced by a younger player of the same caliber. Even factoring in the loss of Giroud, it's at least a push.

As I said, IMO. It seemed blatantly obvious they needed a top class striker before Giroud was injured. Linked with Cavani, Falcao, Balotelli, etc and ended up with Welbeck (Not bad, but not nearly as scary as any of the top side's striking options). No defensive midfielder. Only two true central defenders (Chambers can fill in but will have a tough time being asked to cover 2-3 positions as a teenager). There seems to be an obvious feeling of disappointment from the majority of the supporters.

nah

Cavani


not available

Falcao


~30m for one year of any player isn't something we can/want to swing.

quote:

Balotelli


would rather have welbeck

we'll need someone soon, but arteta is still great. flamini...ehhh, but decent backup.

CB is really the only thing that i'm upset about, but it's not enough to completely ruin the summer. putting them on the losers list is like honigstein saying sanogo (on a free!) was the worst signing of last summer.

I don't see how you can say Arsenal are losers for not meeting needs, when Man U obviously didn't address even bigger holes (and they were "winners")... unless you are just star gazing...

I think by and large, all of the top teams improved their squads, though I do think CFC and Man City come out on top, mainly due to their squads being very strong to begin with..

Just my opinion...

same age, better work rate, more versatility, less likelihood of blowing up in your face. they have similar profligacy in taking chances. both have it in them to improve greatly. not saying balo isn't more talented, he is, but he's been living off that potential for awhile. rodgers has won big off of gambles so far so it makes sense he would try to gamble here, but welbeck is the safer pick.

Also Balo loves the ball to feet. We have enough of those players. We need a player who will run, which is why I Welbeck is a good signing for us. We have plenty of passers who can create chances, but one half of making a chance is having a willing runner at the end of it stretching the defense. Balo does it when he wants, but we have needed someone to do it consistently ever since Walcott got injured.

Danny is a much better team player. Not as talented as swag but will work much much hard with out the ball.

So I can see why Arsenal fans would rather have him. People who love to bash him b/c he doesn't score as much don't notice the other things he does out there.

He may be a better fit for Arsenal, but for the same price, I'd take Balo all day (not a fan of DW, though he seems like a likeable guy)... There would have been a price that I'm sure wouldn't have been worth the gamble and he may still end up not paying off... but I like it..

He may turn out to be your Sturridge... who knows..
