Lamela, Altidore, and Cornelius for me. Lamela was the most expensive and never even plays (probably on huge money per week too), Altidore plays all the time and is totally gash, and Cornelius for the fun transfer hijinks. They're all terrible signings in different ways, not really a point in arguing over who was worse.

irlZaphod posted:tbf Jozy barely plays anymore, Poyet knows he's gash. He had to play against Liverpool because Borini was ineligible. He's only missed like five of their games all season. He definitely counts for the "terrible player who plays all the time" kind of bad transfer.

Nah, they should lose like ten on principle. What kind of standard are we setting for other teams if we don't properly punish a team for this just because they're poo poo and getting relegated anyway? Also, gently caress Sunderland.

blue footed boobie posted:This just sounds like they're replacing their strikers. Paying Mandzukic, Costs, a third striker, and Torres isnt really going to lower the wage bill. They'll only be paying a portion of Torres's wages since the other club will presumably still have him on a contract, and Eto'o is apparently being paid a lot because he was free. Plus Torres's contract will expire after two years and their wage bill will actually substantially decrease, but during that time they'll have a competent striker playing for them instead. It's true, it probably won't reduce their wage bill much in the short term, but in the long run it might. Although I imagine Costa and Mandzukic will command large wages. Then again, FFP is pretty useless anyway and Chelsea will have increased clean revenue coming in next season from the new TV deal.

Shoren posted:I don't think Arsenal are going to lose out on 4th place just because Everton have a tougher run-in, namely having to play City. Arsenal have 12 points from their last 10 games and have lost or drawn their last 4. Everton have 21, including winning the last 6 in a row. It doesn't matter what your run-in is if you're in terrible form.

50 years from now people will remember Wenger for the Invincibles, but they'll also wonder how he could win the league in 2004 and then nothing after 2005. If he built a team that could go undefeated, why did he stop being able to win anything a year later? Arsenal fans will remember him for rebuilding the club in his own image, and to be fair he did revolutionize the way they did things, but will that really be enough?

not not luvd posted:You have to be kidding me. This forum is dire sometimes. It's a legitimate question luvd. Wenger's legacy to non-Arsenal fans will be the Invincibles but it'll also be the long trophy drought. Arsenal fans will remember him rebuilding the club, but other people probably won't because rebuilding the club didn't lead to a long series of trophies the way it did with a manager like Shankly or Ferguson.

For example in 2012, any match between City and Liverpool I wanted Liverpool to lose, badly, not withstanding any chance of a meteor. I wanted Liverpool to lose to Arsenal always in the late 90s/early 00s. Ninpo posted:So apparently I'm old, then. I don't care, I'd rather Chelsea or Arsenal or even City win the league over Liverpool. Ninpo posted:Btw if this is strange to anyone in TRP, you're weird plastics, hth.

We can hope. With the form we're in, I would also trust us to score at least three goals against pretty much any team in the world, including Crystal Pulis. Would be better if the game were at Anfield though.

The guillotine's Sharp blade? Well then, just what? I'm not afraid of the guillotine, I laugh at the executioner, At his sharp blade. The guillotine is my life, Every day they execute me...  Every day two gentlemen In old-fashioned frock coats Sit with me as guests. And then they lead me through the door, They take my hands firmly And lay me under the sharp blade. My life passes this way...  And on Sundays people go To an execution, as to a low farce. The guillotine? A sharp blade? Well then, just what? I'll drink the glass down now... Let them lead me out to execution.

 I could be in Paris or Vienna But I'm crazy about Moscow, Where you beat yourself against a wall, Your own head against slabs, somehow. Hoping and burning, Searching for another fate. And it seems to you like paradize All this wall that is so great.— Where all my values I displaced— Such times do us somehow fit— I beat myself and was effaced, Though that wall is made of poo poo.

Also the one time when Cleverley looked like a football player was when he was at Wigan under Martinez. I wouldn't be surprised if Martinez signs him for Everton and he turns out decent.
