@ Loyika,

Now you are moving from being a reasonable twat to an irritating one!!!!!

Stop comparing Arsenal to Man Utd, Chelsea, Milan, Madrid or Barcelona.
A club like Arsenal that can only boast of 14 good players should not be booting players off. . . .They should be adding.
Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool and even Tottenham can hang on to their present squad and compete next seasonArsenal cannot do that.

Any player that moves away from Arsenal is a LOSS never mind him being a good player like FLAMINI.
If Diarra had stayed at Arsenal your season would have shaped better but moronic Wenger let him leave to Pompey.
I just cannot understand why y'all blind Gaynners cannot see the rot and decay in your team. . . .Wenger is sending wrong signals to other players.

@ HNIC,

Headless chicken or not aint the issue anymore.
JS Park was once known as a headless chicken. . . . He is now an integral member of the United's starting XI.
Drogba wasn't exactly a ball of fire in his 1st 2 seasons. . . . I can go on and on. . . . .
Only an idiot will say Flamini does not deserve 70k per week at Arsenal. . . . This was the same Wenger who sank on his knees to beg Henry and changed the contract policies of the over-30s just to satisfy Thierry Henry. . . .Where is the consistency?

Emmanuel Adebayor has been added to Barcelona's list of players to watch this summer with the Catalan club preparing to launch a bid for a new forward to bolster their options.

loyika (m)
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only
« #17640 on: May 07, 2008, 04:31 PM »

I heard Bayern want to bolster their squad by luring Phillipe Senderos from Arsenal to come to Munich, Bayern's president says that after going down like b@tches to a club from Russia, Senderos is the kind of player they need to stop the rot in defence.

Apparently, since the whole arsenal squad is on the verge of leaving the team, they want to be the first to put in their bid for such a promising defender, before other big clubs come in to swoop the talented lad.

Apparently, they are looking at making a bid of 15 million pounds, which they feel is reasonable for a player of Senderos's quality. Regardless to say, Wenger is angry and disappointed, as Senderos was an intergral member of his building project.

The Arsenal manager was quoted as saying; FCUK £$£%6 $%^66 *&&!! And he further went on to say; £$%^%%$^&^$^&&!!

Following this development, one can clearly see the demise in Arsenal FC, as they lose player after player, and one would not be surprised if they finished behind teams like Spurs, blackburn and Newcasatle next season.

Story can be followed here;

Quote from: Arsene Wenger
We were close this year but we did not win and what I expect from my team is for them to say 'let's come back next year and win'

Quote from: Arsene Wenger
If our players are not capable of doing that and just want to walk out for bigger contracts, for me that would be the biggest disappointment

Quote from: Arsene Wenger
If they cannot do that then it means I was wrong completely in my whole judgement of this team

Quote from: Arsene Wenger
So let's come back and show we are winners. That is the real target of the team

In The Sun's special dictionary that the general public has no acess to, this quotes from Wenger equate with the word 'blasts'
I don't know why they made their papers 20p if they're this desperate to make money Huh
My dayz, how does this correlate 'blast' Undecided?

Arsene Wenger's policy of bringing in young players and buildin them together is fantastic if all the players stay and improve together but it is pointless if we have 1 or 2 players leaving every summer.

At Highbury we could afford to pay our top earners £100,000 a week (Henry, Vieira etc) but obviously due to the stadium move and financial restructuring we have had to chop down our wage bill until the highbury flats are sold and the debt is mostly paid off then we can increase our wages throughout the whole squad and keeping players should be less of an issue, well that is what I am hoping for.

As long as we play the most attractive football there is, then we are going to have these big dicks of europe sniffing around our players.
Wenger is a victim of his own success and the style of football he promotes. This will continue to be the case with our most gifted players until playing for the Arse has the same panache, fame and financial reward as playing for the big european clubs + manscum utd

having said that, I love Arsenal dearly and I think that the sun shines out of Arsene Wengers' arse. But these are the realities of the modern game and we may have to wait a few years yet before we can truely stand shoulder to shoulder with the giants of the game. We have always punched way above our weight with Wenger in charge but the new stadium will not deliver its promises over night.

And I dare say that the likes of SAF, avraminho, benitez would not do better than wenger @ the moment given our financial situation if they were arsenal managers

@jackal, did u just learn word twat? justs wandering though

flamini this flamini that blalala,what makes anti arsenal fans think makoun or whoever flams replacement will be will not be better?

whats the guaranty flam will get a first team shirt in milan? do you all know that gatusso,is from the legendry feared italian family,the mafioso,(thats why he behaves as he likes)thats if he decides to stay at milan ,not to talk of flam discovering the same form?

for hleb it will be sad for him leaving,but if only wenger can clip kroncjer from portsmouth he will definitly be a better buy tha hleb,apart from the fact that he as skilled as hleb,he scores from the spot and is also a wonderful free kick taker which arsenal lacks(lets leave vp out of it).by the way how about that arsenal boy that went to barca, whats his name?? kiric i think whats up with him,really wenger needs just one tip top sriker to finish adebayors riding of defenders and cescs passes and one experienced cb and watch how we sweep the whole titles

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only
« #17653 on: May 07, 2008, 10:50 PM »

First of all, that article by Ibime is complete and utter bollocks!

Arsenal not loyal to Flamini?? With the rubbish he was pulling last season, he's lucky AW gave him a chance! Imagine Essien telling AG or JM that he won't play left back?? That is absolute disloyalty, at that point AW must've feared this player would jump ship. We dropped our best performer of last season Gilberto for him to play and someone said the situation was left late?

Comparing not giving Flamini a deal to Cesc's 7 year deal?? Some people can be so myopic - only seeing back as far as 9 months. Flamini was great this season no doubt, but apart from the 2006 CL run, he was only marginally better than Ali-are-you-diere  Grin Grin

The article is thoroughly revisionist and is utter nonsense - if players of the Calibre of Cesc stayed at Arsenal under the current wage structure, then why not  Flamini? He had his sights set on bigger fish - more money and more prestige and went for it. No one begrudges him that at all - he left for arguably the best clubside in the world outside of Real and Barca so why the hue and cry?

A short 9 months ago, people wanted Flamini sold to B'ham and now they are crying like he was the saviour of Arsenal.

This nonsense about losing '1 or 2 players every season' is BOLLOCKS too - I ask who did we lose last season that would've made a difference this time around?? Is it Old Man Ljunberg who couldn't beat my grannie in a foot race  Grin Grin or is it Ali-slap-you-there or Matt Connolly??

Previous season who did we lose? Pires granted was a bit painful, but at 32, players can leave whenever - Campbell was washed up, Lauren had lost pace too so where exactly is this losing 'one or two players' coming from?

MU sold off Heinze last season, Liverpool sold of Garcia, Gonzales and a whole bunch where did they end up? We were only 4 POINTS BEHIND the winners this season, but still the myopia here is stunning.

Flamini had one good season and now he is the shit, its like saying pay Eboue 60 grand because he had a good CL run  Grin Grin

The main issue has been not enough high quality intakes to replace the greats like Lauren, Vieira, Keown and co - not any losses - very few if any players have left Arsenal and become outstanding successes, most leave and you see why AW let them go - even Reyes who was flattering at the end of last season is nowhere to be seen now.

AW's talk with the AST was instructive - he wants a CB (strengthen defence) a creative player in midfield, but no mention of an attacker and of course, replace Flamini.

This means to me that Walcott will play centrally next season, and we will gamble again on RVP remaining fit and on Dudu coming back to full form. Its slightly disturbing, but I think If we get one more midfielder to score goals like Cesc, we can do it with the firepower on hand. A team that, with a little more defensive coherence would've beaten Chelski, MU and Liverpool away in the final stages of the season. That for me is highly crucial, then a few other additions.

Sagna came in and was excellent, beyond excellent even, Dudu scored 12 goals in his debut season in Western Europe before injury, those were very promising buys, a couple more like those and this team WILL win next season.

Financial situation is not the only determinant here - Flamini's dad was Italian, the climate was closer to that for home, plus, AC MILAN is a BIGGER club than Arsenal - even more cash may not have made him stay. Lets move on and find replacements.

I don't get some of this articles and authors.

Let us focus. Viera left and bergkamp resigned, then the whole press was like that is the end of arsenal, van persie came up and cesc fabregas came up, who expected that??? when henry left, pundits at the beginning of the season said ASRENAL ARE GOING TO BE FIFTH BEHIND SPURS. who in the world would have thought Adebayor of all people  would score 30 goals? Last season Gilberto was key to the arsenal midfield. who in their wildest dreams would have thought that flamini of last season will displace gilberto this season. all this guys writing articles are just poor idealists.

IF HENRY,PIRESS,BERGKAMP AND VIERA CAN LEAVE ARSENAL AND WE CAN STILL BE A TOP FOUR team , WHO THE HELL IS FLAMINI OR HLEB? AS it is, only CESC FABREGAS is untouchable.

« #17656 on: May 07, 2008, 11:41 PM »

nice post Vicade Wink

now getting back to reality and moving forward, AW might consider looking at Micah Richards as the CB to sort things out - he's an Arsenal fan, and while the rubbish with Shinawatra and Sven is going on, we might be able to ink a deal swiftly before the hawks (MU and Chelski) can think of pouncing.

My main issue with him is that he's a bit short at 5'11'' not exactly the towering giant we need, and thus may not fit our needs  Undecided

Creative player? My vote goes to Ben Arfa - fast and skillful, scores goals too - add Makoun to that mix and we'd have a very interesting starting point next season.

Sillyseason is about to beginstrap yourselves in guys., it will be one hell of a ride. Wink

Eto'o to spurs?  Grin Grin I'd die first.

I disagree about keeping low calibre players - Djorou and or Senderos need to go, with a quality third CB coming in, that is NOT NEGOTIABLE

Eboue can stay only on one condition  - as permanent back-up for Sagna - if he is to be a winger, sell him NOW.

Vela makes the need for a winger less necessary, but I don't know if he or Walcott will be played centrally next season, it all depends.

AW will not buy a Benzema right now, a Huntelaar maybe, but not Benzema - he really isn't AW's type of striker (but then neither was Ade  Undecided)

Kranjar would be an excellent buy on two fronts - Premiership experience and not in demand too much, he'd probably fit right in unlike any of the other likely buys.
