Quite frankly I do not know what Nasri's intentions are but the ball is very much in his court right now. We can transfer list the player but he does not have to agree terms with anyone who meets his valuation. It would make financial sense for himself and his agent to be available to join any club of his choice on a free transfer, We would not be able to stop him talking to the likes of Manchester United,
Anyway time to get to the point a lot of bloggers are writing about bringing back the legend that is Patrick Vieira my favourite footballer between the age of 7 and 14. According to other blogs the players said how Vieira was insipartional to the ManCity squad as they won the FA cup I haven't heard a ManCity player say this but ok more than likely true. PV4 demands huge wages and for us he would be a squad player, would Vieira offer as much as Coquelin or Frimpong in that position? I doubt it but his experience and aura of greatness would certainly be an asset. Could we turn Vieira into a centre back
Three of Arsene Wenger's incoming players last season were purchased from Ligue 1 in France, a league full of talented players but who play at a far less physical and fast league. Two key injuries to our spinal players Robin Van Persie and Thomas Vermaelen meant that Laurent Koscielny and Marouane
Joey Barton is a person who has put out cigarettes in team mates faces, has attacked team mates in training and he has been convicted twice on charges of violence. Unfortunately my blog does not have enough space to list the amount of offenses Barton has made over the years and quite frankly, I do not give a damn. Arsene Wenger is not buying Barton and if you respect Arsenal football club then you
I hope Arsene Wenger managed to get through to Arshavin during the end of last season, and during these summer months he is working hard to get his body ready for the demands of the Premier League. He is approaching the years where he should be reaching his peak. He reputation for his country has diminished and it is down to Arshavin and Arshavin only to get everyone back
Wenger had been talking about the 4-2-3-1 having problems against defensively organised sides a few weeks prior to that game and I wondered if another forward player would be one of his targets this summer. Now it seems likely that Gervinho will be joining our attack, I wonder if Gervinho will be that extra presence in attack, the one making runs for Van Persie and Cesc.
Many are suggesting that we move Thomas Vermaelen to left back but I just do not see that working in our system. I am sure he can do a job there, in fact he has played there for Ajax on many occasions but at Arsenal our full backs are required to be mobile and dynamic, sprinting forward to support our attacks whilst having the speed and energy to get back and defend. I do not see Vermaelen being that type of player. If he was to play full back, it would more than likely be in a
It’s only a matter of time before the newspapers and Sky Sports say ‘Breaking news: Fabregas doesn’t say that he doesn’t want to leave Arsenal and join Barcelona’ or ‘Cesc in Barca wish. Cesc Fabregas has today hinted, despite not having any interviews or issuing any quotes, that he intends to join
David Dein's name was mentioned a few times during the Q&A. This rather strange perception that David Dein was the messiah that brought us trophies is utter madness. David Dein did not push Arsene into buying players. David Dein did not send his personal scouting system around the world to find talents like Vieira, Petit, Anelka, Overmars, Ljungberg, Pires etc etc It was the manager. When David Dein was around we were not scrimping and saving, fighting against huge investment with one arm
With Pat Rice wavering over his future, shouldn't we just kick old Pat to the curb because as we all know and have sat in the training sessions, he offers absolutely nothing to Arsene Wenger. Usmanov is the man with the tactical plan. He knows where we are weak or is it that he has read the opinion of many an Arsenal fan around the blogs? This absolutely reeks of a man who has regurgitated as much information that he has been able to muster from a section of disgruntled Arsenal supporters.
I can envisage him sitting on his desktop PC late an night with only a pair of white Y-fronts on, copying and pasting views of Arsenal supporters and then using the information to formulate 'his'
