mjwood00 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Arsenal scouted NZonzi a few years ago but spotted Jones and tracked him instead. I wouldn't put him at that level yet though he is showing more promise now our management allows him to actually pass the ball and not just use his head. Olsen similarly has potential to be an Arsenal player but isn't there yet. Would be interesting to see their (and our) valuations. Hope it's not true anyway, we need stability and growth for a period, rather than going one step forward followed by two back.

AmazinTim Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Gibbs has made the full England squad and with the midfielders we are going to sign, I would do that swap any day! Looking at wiki: Olsson's played 63 premier league games in a prominent role for Rovers. Gibbs, and Arsenal fringe player, has played 19 PL games, many as a sub. Olsson has scored 2 goals in 3 international appearances for Sweden. Gibbs came on as a sub for England. That's not even looking at the skills of either, those are just numbers.
67splitscreen Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Arse trying to scare us off Lansbury more like, in the hope noone comes in for him and he signs a new contract.
Hughesy Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Think that twitterer might be an Arsenal fan reading his tweets
Fylde Coast Fan Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Can't see them being in for Olsson. Nzonzi maybe, they could do with some cover in the defensive spot - Diaby is always injured, Denilson has been shipped off to Brazil, and Song is suspended.
Mercer Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 IMO, we are seen as a club that has no longer got its act together and therefore vulnerable to interest from 'big clubs' for our best players when 'heads get turned'. We have another 12 days to get through and I fear that we are in for some testing times where the likes of Robbo, Samba, Olsson, Nzonzi & Hoilett are concerned. Very scary.
Roversi Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Olsson would get found out very very quickly at Arsenal. His overall game and ability is no where near the level that would be demanded at Arsenal.

We have always been seen as that, you cant really blame Venky's for the bigger clubs picking the meat off our bones it has always happened. You can blame them for everything else though.

A pint and a woman might be more rewarding. We have always been seen as that, you cant really blame Venky's for the bigger clubs picking the meat off our bones it has always happened.

My wife said she can't wait for this window to shut cos she has no-one to talk to, However being thoughtful I have given her a mirror, Back to transfer news
BRFC1995 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 You rate Gibbs over Olsson? Lansbury over NZonzi? I can't agree there. ollsen as a left winger is dynamite, as a full back i'm yet to be convinced. His value to the team going forward is immense and i could see arsenal wanting him as an attacking player but Gibbs is'nt going anywhere for a long time. The story really falls apart by throwing in N'zonzi........imo we can do far better so i have'nt got a clue why wenger would be interested, when N'zonzi first joined maybe when he was younger with potential in the wenger mould for a signing but not now just would'nt make sense think arsenal fans would spit feathers if he was the calibre of player they replace fabregas with.

mjwood00 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I always find that picture of steve kean rather menacing.

I will be looking forward to my first pint tomorrow about 1.30pm as I will be watching Footy in the pub!

I dont know why but after the PJ fiasco I think we have become harder to deal with, I think Venky's have plenty of faults but I dont see anybody getting an easy ride trying to poach players that Venky's want to keep. I suppose time will tell.
chaddyrovers Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 You described some 'twitterer' as posting sh1t earlier in the week !!! Was that not about Martin Olsson yesterday??? The Givet rumours only started TODAY!!!
dubdubdub Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Yeap there have been bids for hoilett, olsson, robbo and nzonzi throughout the window. Imo you're an idiot.
Mercer Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 [/b] I dont know why but after the PJ fiasco I think we have become harder to deal with, I think Venky's have plenty of faults but I dont see anybody getting an easy ride trying to poach players that Venky's want to keep. I suppose time will tell. Agree - unfortunately, in the meantime, you have unsettled players whose heads have been turned, eg Samba, Givet etc.
XLM Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 @mercerman imo no one is coming in for robbo imo. No one is coming in for olsson imo. Imo no one is coming in for n'zonzi. Imo no one is coming in for hoilett imo... Imo.
Mercer Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Was that not about Martin Olsson yesterday??? The Givet rumours only started TODAY!!! Not quite - they were circulating Ewood last Saturday !
JAL Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 he was ill pal. no issue. This is was what you said when I asked if there was an issue with Givet.
