Anyone seen the rest of Keown's quotes from his Daily Mail piece? Bitter, deluded idiot:

Keown has also given his thoughts on Henrikh Mkhitaryan's prospects at the Emirates, if his switch to the capital goes ahead.

He said: 'He will be a better player at Arsenal than he has been at Manchester United.

'Mkhitaryan needs to be nurtured and cared for. When I watched United recently, there were two players who were clearly not thriving: Luke Shaw, and Mkhitaryan.

'You could see in Mkhitaryan’s body language that there was a fear in his play. Every time he got something wrong you could see Jose Mourinho bristling on the sidelines.

'If Mourinho does not think that his players are unaware of what he is doing on the touchline then he should not be in management.

Martin Keown talking down to Jose f*cking Mourinho about football management. Remarkable.
 
I think we'll get the 'Deal Agreed' announcement today and the official unveiling tomorrow. All in time for him to play on Saturday.
 
This signing is only a game changer if it ends the park the bus at Anfeld approach.

Not sure we do either to be honest, probably something like;

Valencia
Bailly
Jones
Shaw

Although we've experimented with 3 at the back recently too so who knows. We won't have a good idea till everyone manages to be fit at the same time.

Still think Young offers more right now than Shaw. THat's not to say Shaw hasnt done remarkably well

Tbf it's an old video, from summer when Sanchez was linked with the likes of Bayern, City, PSG and only few newspapers like the Sun linked him with us.

I was watching a thing on Full Time Devils earlier, "the big debate" on our best 11. Only it wasnt that big a debate, in that they had 4 people on, who had all come up with their best XI independently of each other, and all four of them had exactly that as the back 4. The rest of the teams were very similar as well, but there was total consensus on the back 5.

Superb English, Martin: 'If he not does doesn't, then he isn't what he is not was.' Brilliant.

Very confusing triple negative in the last sentence. Otherwise he might have a point but if he doesn't think we are not unaware of it, he should not think again.

He has a future in writing up options for subscribing to email newsletters though.
 
I like this transfer a lot, I think he's going to be a big player for us for the next 2, maybe 3 years and he will seriously impact our chances in the Champions League this season (he's not cup-tied).

He won't be amazing until his mid-30s so I don't expect him to still be great when he's 33 or 34 but in 17-18, 18-19 and maybe 19-20 I still expect him to be one of the best players in the league.
 
How much shit can Keown spout. Remarkable. From his comments you'd get the feeling Mickhi is a hamster. He must be nurtured and cared for .

Not to mention him saying to Jose if he should be in management.

Jesus..

Those who go to great lengths defending their version of mystic meg. Why they get so wrapped up in it, I have no idea.

No chance he will be a big player for us.

He is really quite a small man.

Yeah, the very clear reply should be that Keown shouldn't be a pundit.

So is it fair to say if this doesnt get wrapped up in the next couple of hours he wont be able to play at the weekend? When would be the cutoff?

I thought deadline is tomorrow 12pm or something like that.

"Quote me on that" :lol::lol:
Quote where?? Who is this guy?? People constantly posting on social media think they are really important. No one cares whether your opinions are right or wrong.

Just tried to catch up by reading two pages of this thread. One bloke said he was looking forward to seeing his friend's granddaughter (followed by a drool smiley). Another was claiming you need identification to buy a football shirt. And then someone started ranting about the 'remainers' for some odd reason, totally unprovoked. At that point I decided it was best to skip to the latest page. For the sanity of every muppet in here I really hope this deal is wrapped up this evening.

Don't forget the Keown.
