Had Coquelin been a few years older then he could have been in with a shout because his performance yesterday showed that he has a lot of ability and bite
Ramsay, Vela and Wilshere all starting! Wow, I thought to myself. Wilshere has forced his way into the bigger picture in this pre season. Arsene wanted to have a look at him alongside more established players.
I think Arsene giving Denilson, Ramsay, Landsbury and Traore a chance with the first teamers in the first half against Barnet may give a slight indication as to who he sees closer to the first team squad. Mark Randall could have played wide right but Landsbury was the managers choice
Overmars and Petit i know thats sound like a lot of rubbish but if you look at what arsene has spent there maybe some of that money left
But how very dare Hleb who I have lost all my respect for start blabbing his mouth to the Spanish media about how Cesc could follow him to Barca?
I'm a Joburg City Kid, born and bred, and a Gooner till the day I die (probably in a blaze of glory taking down as many filthy Mankers as possible)
He has fantastic technique and looks so graceful in possession of the ball. I know he is only 16 years old but I cannot see anything but the very top for this kid
Like Ramsey in the first-half, the star of the show in the second period was Jack Wilshere. Seriously, the guy is so small and elusive that he will knock the ball past you and run through your legs to retrieve it. Cutting in from the right onto his favoured left-foot with a slippery style of dribbling, it was almost Messi-like
The season sort of starts today as we play our first friendly of the new season. I am excited and a little disappointed
How is he going to feel coming into training with all the big players back and knowing that nobody has made any real effort to sign him?
