ha ha your the second gooner on here this morning stating you'll miss toure, last nite there was a city fan on here sayin no gooners rated toure and want him gone, and how we shouldn't sign him! cant wait til the nob reads your posts today! i think it'll be a good signing for us, however i amazed wenger and the powers at arsenal are willing to keep selling to us, there is a possibility we could run you close or even overtake you for 4th spot, with the help from some of your ex players . . . . . .that must surely really rile you? it would me!

The bold bits seemed a little like gloating to me... the rhetorical question at the end especially.
 
Re: Toure agrees city move [Merged]

I unfortunately agree with the gunners fan!! even if we get Toure I think it is very naive of us to think we have a better team than Arsenal I think they are still a fair bit in front of us. I think top 4 will be out of reach this year!!

Would be a great signing tbh.

the only reason i see arsenal selling to us is, they dont see us as a threat. We are still labeled typical city and they wont do much etc etc. None of the top 4 see us as any potential threat regardless of all our signings, i thinks thats down to there own arrogance, and they all think it will take us 2-3 years to break into the top 4. IF they though we could really break into it, i dont think they will sell to us because they will make us stronger while making themselves weaker. But because they think we are shit still, they will sell to us. If you get what im trying to say lol.

The reason Wenger may be in the process of is because he will be repacing him with someone with better defensive capabilities.

Incidentally, Blue-Rossy, you are wrong in asserting that Wenger doesn't think that City will be a 'Top 4 threat' next season. He stated only three weeks ago that he believes that we are capable of breaking into the Top 4. On camera on SSN.

Arsenal are still asset rich but cash poor and would be deeply attracted to the kind of money we can offer. Wenger, being a very clever marketeer, will reinvest in the sort of player our scouts have probably never heard of and at a fraction of the price.

He's laughing at the City fan, not the Arsenal fan. And the bit at the end is a response to what one of the Gooners has already said himself - i.e. they shouldn't be selling decent players to potential rivals.

Think you need to read through things properly before saying someone is twattish!!

The HaHa is taking piss out of a city fan!! The rest of it.........dont know what part of that u think is insensitive!!!

Fair point but they always seem to have a thin/fragile squad... it's not like we need to worry about Europe this season.

That being said they always put the youth team out for the Carling cup whilst we'll be wanting either that or the FA cup next season.

read my post again not once have i said anything bad about arsenal, i actually slagged a city fan off from yesterday, i think if you read this again you'll realise im not a "twat" im actually having a good conversation with the arsenal fan!

The bold bits come across as gloating / mild twatishness to me... not as bad as it could of been but still a little insensitive.
the post wasn't meant to come across as gloating or twatishness,i apologise to you as it clearly got to you but as the arsenal fan and i have carried on a good conversation and another bluemooner has stood up 4 my post, i think your the only 1 who did find it a gloating or twaty post! never mind cant please everyone!

Fair enough if that was what he meant but in that case the ha ha should not have been included in the first clause if it was meant to be aimed at the city fan.

The question at the end, when combined with the ha ha which I took to be aimed at the arsenal fan, seemed to me to be trying to get a rise out of the guy by rubbing it in that we could knock them out of the top 4 with their own players.

If anything I think I'm guilty of over-reading it not the other way around.

I think we have a chance dont get me wrong but all this talk of other managers saying we will challenge for titles and some city fans saying 2 cb's and we can challenge i think is to soon. I would love to be wrong though.

what worried me in our friendly on sat was our lack of being able to string 2 passes together and that might pose a problem. Also without Stevie Ireland there was a huge gap between the front and midfield!! if Elano goes and it looks like he will we need another attack minded midfielder. I personally would love us to take a punt on someone like Douglas Costa who would be happy to wait for his chance behind superman!!
