Very rarely has Arshavin been given the number 10 gig and it is unlikely that we will see it happen any time soon. This is the perfect opportunity as a fan to say that the manager has lost the plot because he cannot see what I can even without a counter balance from the man who watches the players
One player who will be missed around the club will be that of Emmanuel Eboue who looks set for a £4m switch to Turkish club Galatasaray according to reports. Arsene Wenger had admitted that Eboue, along with Bendtner and Almunia were allowed to sort out their futures by seeking pastures new. I must admit. Wenger had me going for a moment when he said that Eboue was in London due to injury. I bought that one hook line and sinker. While I think Cesc's hammys were always a smokescreen
It is another argument altogether to say that we will or will not be able to keep these players together for that amount of time. That has to be the aim, to keep as many quality players who have been brought up on the Arsenal way of playing until they are 27-29. Van Persie has shown that once they can get there then they can win whatever the hell they want. Essentially we are hoping that they can
My view is this, if we are actually interested in the player which I wouldn't be too surprised if we were then a potential move would be dependant on the future of one Cesc Fabregas. I also wouldn't be surprised if the agent, player and current club all know of this and will not talk unless Barcelona pay the
Gervinho is indeed correct, we are putting a little too much emotion into the Cesc and Nasri saga. Both players are very good players, one of them world class but as far as I know, many teams have won trophies and been successful without Nasri and Cesc in their set up. We will have to build our team a slightly different way, one that may or not be more productive.
Arsene Wenger made logical predictions when Arsenal were on top to keep us there in the short and long term. Unfortunately things didn't work out how he predicted and we have gone six years without a trophy and the club needs to keep revenue up to compete this has hurt the fans in heart and pocket.Arsene gambled and lost but unlike roulette all is not lost, we still have a great training ground and Academy, Swanky stadium and an exciting young team that competes for trophies and is capable of beating Barcelona on their day. Financial fair play has screwed us over and we have had to play little penny pincher while we negotiate new commercial deals
Sell Nicklas Bendtner, Sebastien Squillaci and Manuel Almunia, as well as loaning out some youngsters such as JET, who will struggle to get games with van Persie, Chamakh, Gervinho and Vela about. Also Frimpong who I would like to see as backup for Song but with him being injured for so long, ne needs competitive games to improve and continue his development. Sending him out on loan to get regular first team football would be the smarter long- term thing to do with him in my opinion
Instead of holding off for extra time, they went for the jugular. ‘The Pitbull’ Medel was sent off for a clumsy midfield tackle that earned him his second yellow. Then, with one of the few forays into the Chilean half, Venezuela were given another freekick. You can probably predict the rest. Poor goalkeeping, marking etc, ball drops to Venezuelan player and out of nowhere
What we absolutely need and what we've been needing for the past few years is a defensive mid that can rotate with Song and take over in january when song is at the african nations cup. I heard that Melo was left out of juventus' trip to the usa, which would indicate he might not be part of the new manager's plans for the coming season. He might be suspect of some irrational challenges, but thats exactly what we need & Wenger has shown interest in him before so I really feel that he would
