Pehaps he really is old school and wants to do it all with Spurs and England? If he stays he's got a chance ... and what a legend he will be.

And to think someone here once called Kane a one season wonder. I reckon he'll be a ten season wonder, or a one decade wonder.

If you want to see the best of Europe watch the news and see what is happening to people that just want to cast a vote.

Shocking what is going on and no response from the EU leaders about the brutal and violent policing.

Disappointing violence and all that but my god how stupid are they. It's like Londoners saying they want independence from Britain.

Back in 1995, Quebec, Canada put a Quebec Sovereignty Referendum to its predominantly French speaking citizens to vote on. This was the second referndum proposed to voters for Quebec's proclamation for independence. Along with a formal offer to Canada to respect Quebec's new and economic political agreement partnership with Canada. It was voted on and the No vote against Quebec becoming an independent country won.
This is what should have happened in Spain. Whether or not this was even considered, I don't know. Just saying that it is possible to allow a sovereign rerendum vote for independence can be done without taking away people's democratic right to vote.

I read your post. You seemed to be saying you were damaged by Welbeck's signing, albeit for different reasons to being damaged by Silvestre's signing.* To feel damaged even by Silvestre's signing makes you look foolish, and even more so by Welbeck's. If you meant something else, what was it?

I don't see Welbeck as a bad signing. After all, he's performed well when he's played. He also played a big part in the cup final win. He's been unlucky with injuries which has been a shame, but I see him as a more than decent signing regardless of his significant part in the cup final, and a good signing because of it. I also think the potential is there for Welbeck to be a very good signing. Had he stayed injury free, I think 'terrific' would have been more appropriate than 'very good'.

*"I am still damaged by that decision.

Or for different reasons Wellbeck who joined us in 2014 and has managed only 57 apps in the EPL and 13 goals. Before all the Wellbeck worshipers get on my back - in all 75 games with 20 goals. Might take a while for him to get to 100 goals."

The only thing that is dangerous is that the likes of you with such beliefs should be allowed to vote.

If you haven't had a lobotomy through choice you should look into it....................

Having reread the post I accept that it does read like I was damaged by Wellbeck signing. To be clear I am not damaged by Wellbeck signing. I just think he has turned out to be a poor signing because he fails to stay injury free, hardly played many games and does not score enough and often misses easy chances. You might think he can develop and I agree he could. But we have not got value for money - no.

I suppose he was a 5 year contract so we need to make some decisions in the next few months whether we try and extend his contract (12 months out) or let it run down like half the squad. When will we see him develop and can he keep himself injury free to actually play. If he put together a season you be classing him as world class even if he fails to improve his goal returns.

I really like Welbeck. I think we have a livelier forward line when he plays. He works really hard, has pace and offers himself for the team willingly. A decent player for us.

It is nothing whatsoever like London trying to leave Britain.

I simply believe you're being too quick to define him as a poor signing, despite his injury record. He routinely contributes when he doesn't score by giving us pace and power, as well as an outstanding work rate. Also, being a forward may not only be about goal scoring. To emphasise that point, Welbeck's overall goal per game ratio at Arsenal is better (meaning he takes fewer games to score a goal) than Bergkamp's was. Let me clarify I'm not saying Welbeck ranks alongside Bergkamp in any way, shape or form. I'm just using that stat to clarify that being a fine striker is not only down to how many goals they score. In my view Bergkamp's the second best striker I've seen play for the club after Henry. However, on average he took longer to score each goal than Welbeck has. Moreover, to make that point even stronger, I bet the average number of minutes per game that Bergkamp was on the pitch for is higher than it has been for Welbeck.

I really like Welbeck. I think we have a livelier forward line when he plays. He works really hard, has pace and offers himself for the team willingly. A decent player for us.

RIP Tom Petty. Age 66.

Yet another mass shooting in America. I would have no problem whatsoever in a constitutional amendment full stop ban or restrict it into what would constitute a near ban. I no longer have my gun, but I'd gladly have given it up if the public sentiment was moving toward that.

I wonder how much credence we should put into this.My guess is the word 'annoyed' is closer to the truth.

Arsenal stars Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Özil have infuriated teammates by missing a club engagement

Saw hints of this last week but lots of national outlets picking up that Kronke has made an offer for Usmanov's shares

Thank you Ex

Fiszman, Hill-wood and co. really left us up sh*t creek, David Dein would be a legend but getting Kroenke involved in Arsenal has basically cancelled out anything good he did.

Hopefully Usmanov can play the long game, wait for the sh*t to really hit the fan as we linger in midtable then keep chipping away at the relationship (hah) between Kroenke and the fans, maybe in a few years Kroenke will get fed up with the criticism and by then he'll probably have us firmly established as midtable fodder and he might feel the investment is on a downward trend, frightening that this is probably our best outcome..

If Kroenke acquires full control we're done, RIP Arsenal.

Sounds like a third party was also trying to buy out Kroenke at £32k a share!!, he's like a cancerous tumour that won't respond to chemo.

America is far more appealing socially and lifestyle but China is spending the money.

(I think the Abramovich takeover at Arsenal has probably damaged Arsenal more than any other club because from comfortably being London's biggest club with many more fans than them, I simply don't believe that's still the case).
