Wenger’s direct replacement is not even close to what Pires brought to the team; instead he brought a player that rarely scores the first goal, one who has – to put it mildly – poor shooting accuracy coupled with the fact he is injury prone.
IF Nasri does join he would probably be Hleb's replacement right? But Hleb plays on the right (when everyone is fit) and Nasri looks very much like a Wenger left sided player who will cut in on his right.
The development of players such as Mathieu Flamini, Manuel Almunia, Emmanuel Adebayor and Cesc Fabregas saw Arsenal leading the Premiership for much of the season, and if it were not for an extensive and unfortunate injury list that left the likes of Robin Van Persie
I was very skeptical about the Van Persie / Adebayor partnership, I wondered if either of them could score enough goals during the course of the season and they have proved me wrong. To be honest I still do not see them as a proper partnership.
I guess Arsene will have to re-visit his wage structure as really if this goes on, no doubt Cesc will leave too next season. Its not fair how he has worked hard and gets half as much as people like Darren Bent
I know very little about Sami Nasri but 11 goals in 121 appearances, a player who plays behind the striker but can also play out wide reminds me very much of a certain player we have in our squad
I think a player like Ricardo Quaesma would be essential. Rosicky is our only natural player that takes Good shots from outside the box and is ther a better one that Quaresma
I do miss what Dennis brought us. The guy's technique was just astonishing. No matter how the ball was played to Dennis, you knew that it would be trapped dead
Ah yes good old speculation. The latest name? Lilian Thuram. If this was 7 years ago I would say yes, go for it. He was fantastic in his Juventus days
I bet the Bendtner / Vela partnership would work wonders. Jumping the gun slightly here aren't I? Oh, and by the way I am not saying that Adebayor shouldn't be selected.. no no, just saying like.
