Bartley signs for Swansea

[Callum]

He was gash at Rangers last season. I wouldn't get too upset about it.

How many games did you see?

A lot. Celtic are my other team, but I'm not being biased - I took a keen interest in his progress but was disappointed. He came across as a thug who was nowhere near good enough for us.

Furry muff.
He looked good in the reserves years ago but maybe he didn't progress. Although he was being played as a DM at Rangers apparently....
Not his proper position.

[Arsenal Tone]

He was probably told he was still behind Djourou in the pecking order. He deserved a chance imo.

ps we need a thug in the team!

was just about to say the same. I dont think he would have been behind Squillaci too!

he would easily have had a run in the radio 1 cup or whatever its called now. But like he said he wants to play in the premiership. Bad news for our distant future. but the immediate future he wouldnt have featured much.

I hope we can keep hold of Miquel. But like Fabregas his boyhood club have already been sniffing around him.

[Arsenal Tone]

Good news for Miquel

[Popey]

what? we just gave him first team opportunities? really strange move.

I just wonder why we always wait till the season beginns till we sell players?!?

you say 'we' But this is another case of a player demanding a move.

[Arsenal Tone]

Half a game in a couple of pre-season matches hardly equates to giving him opportunities!

Has he even played in the league cup? How many competitive matches has he played in for us?

Heard he was really poor at Rangers, Callum also reinstated that belief, not concerned about it.

Bartley > Djourou

But then again

Bramble > Djourou

[mg86]

Swansea fans saying it's permanent deal, £1m. I just don't get this at all. Why tell him he's in the first team squad then sell him?

This is all just going spectacularly wrong. We still haven't shifted any of the players we should be getting rid of ffs

I don't want Bendtner gone. Squillaci is behind Djourou and Mertesacker, not going to worry to much about him. Chamakh is a concern, unless he returns to form.

Bendtner is definitely, definitely gone mate. It's just a matter of when.

Park and Chamakh are the get-rid priorities for me. Not because we paid a lot for them or because we'll get a lot for them, only because they're taking up valuable space on the bench with their useless shit.
We need better back-up than that.

[Arsenal Tone]

I predict Bartley will have an England cap by the end of the season.

His debut (and only competitive game) came in the champions league believe it or not! at Olympiacos i think in 2009/10 (wearing navy blue). quite a few young players played in that match like Gilles Sunu, Kerrea Gilbert and Thomas Cruise. It was a game we didnt need a result from.
