Please do tell, when did Debo become an Elder? I understand Rasputin being an ignorant angry little kid but Debola's promotion was undeserved. Grin


Somze,did you post this in error?
I understand your desire to defend Akola,you should not  forget that I have a duty to stand up for my club and coach
Well for personal reasons,I won't hit you back but go get a mouth wash,stuff like that should not be coming from your mouth

Check this out


What’s this? A player wanting to stay with Arsenal!

It’s hard not to feel sorry for Arsene Wenger at the moment. The Frenchman is arguably the best manager in the world, given what he has achieved for Arsenal, yet it appears that several of his key players are unlikely to be at the Emirates Stadium next season. Mathieu Flamini has buggered off to Milan without so much as a whimper, Alexander Hleb has done a great impersonation of a snake in the grass and has a foot out of the exit door, while Emmanuel Adebayor apparently wants double or quits as far as his salary is concerned.

However, The Guardian report that every cloud has a silver lining. Just as Jerry Maguire appeared to be walking out of the office on his tod, the character played by Renee Zellweger stood up and joined him. In Renee’s place at Arsenal is young Nicklas Bendtner, who has shunned the likes of Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen to stay with Arsenal. At last some loyalty being shown at Arsenal!

Bayern indicated via an intermediary that they were prepared to pay €10m for the striker and the other two Bundesliga clubs also made their interest known. “I have heard about these offers from Germany but Nicklas will stay at Arsenal,” said Thomas Bendtner, his father. “The only way things could be different was if something unexpected should happen, such as him being moved totally outside of the team, but it’s difficult to see that happening as he is playing right now.”

Bendtner, 20, has made 39 appearances this season, 16 as a starter, and has scored nine goals. “I’ve always said that Arsenal is my club and that’s where I want to play my football,” he said. “When you look at my season and the way it has developed, I see no reason why I should want to change Arsenal with any other club.”

Until next season, when he’s scored 25 goals and the Milans and the Madrids of this world come a-calling! Let’s hope that the likes of Adebayor and Fabregas remain with the club, rather than see us witness the fragmentation of such an excellent footballing side. Money is talking louder than ever at the moment though, and retaining them for one more year might just be stemming the tide.

This one is a lie Angry . Ade wants to stay he is not like the rest of the disloyal money luffers Angry


"Following media reports this morning, Emmanuel Adebayor wanted to put the record straight by making the following statement.

"I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish. I love the club and the fans.

"We have a great set of players here with a fantastic team spirit. We have had a good season but next season we want to go one better by winning a trophy."

Adebayor - Reports I want out are 'rubbish'

Kranjcar or Arteta in that midfield will be fantastic.Our biggest problem this season has been playing players out of position.Arsene really needs to make up his mind on what he wants to do with Diaby.Eboue must never play at Right Midfield again.Whats with Rosicky sef? he is missing this Euros because apparently he needs to go for surgery for an injury he has been nursing since January? Like that hook on Jigga's Encore:What the hell was he waiting for?

Either of them would be fantastic for me.Albiol would be ok too and if we can get Ben Arfa in the mix and maybe a strker i still think we would be good to go but we really need someone to take over Flamini's role.I hear some people calling Jean Makoun hell naah that dude aint Arsenal quality

he should keep senderros eboue and diaby for the carling cup run and subs for FA cup.

Ben harfa,Krancjar and Alberto aqualini(AS Roma) will make very good signings

Vincent Kompany is also a good centre back- at least in my football manager game

« #17746 on: May 11, 2008, 12:02 AM »

I believe the Ben Arfa stories are just rumors - 16million?? for a player who hasn't signed long term for his current club? I doubt it

AW's comment that he'd 'prefer someone who already has premiership experience' leads me to believe the Kranjcar stories may be truelets wait and see.
@ presido what is the 'threat of disunity'?

He said he doesn't want Hleb to go, meaning Inter either cough up a huge transfer fee or shut up. Hleb would be extremely foolish (and doesn't have the balls anyways) to say he will not play till the dispute (if any happens that is) is over.  Cool

It seems you read the sun like its your bible - if it said your brother was shagging britney spears now I'm sure you'd believe  Grin Grin

Wenger will not buy more than 3 'known' names - quote me any day - these dreams of ben Arfa+Kranjcar+Makoun+Aquilani+Albiol  Shocked are just that - dreams.

Kranjcar - a bid will likely be made, or for Barry, depending, and maybe Ben Arfa if not too expensive - Flamini will NOT be replaced going by Wenger's latest words, at least not from outside.

A CB and a winger are the most I am expecting, then of course, one unknown young signing.

@ AK

with due respect, while Rijkaard has won back to back titles and the CL - he has done it with a superstar squad, expensively assembled and all, he has not had an equal duration in the game or established a well known trend/develop players like AW has done.

You claim most of the players were stolen - was Henry stolen at Monaco? Or Trezeguet? What of the transformation he caused in average players? coaching is not simply about discovering a baby in its mothers womb - converting potential into true world class delivery doesn't happen very often, except with the best coaches like AW or Fergie.

Deco, Ronaldinho, Messi, Puyol, Valdez, Eto'o and cowho wouldn't win something with them?? Yes he's won a more significant trophy (the CL) but with al due respect, a 5+ year coaching experience is not enough to compare with people like Wenger.

This is the first time i am seeing debosky say something meaningful to me. Apart from sentiment, AW is a good coach who develop talents into world class footballer. E.g nobody new henry when he was at juve. But he bought him & made him a world superstar. But RJ had world class players in his squad & u must expect him to win something.

Only those wey no dey watch football na im no know henry for Monaco.
It wasn't that much of a gamble as people seem to assume. There is a reason Arsenal
paid ten million pounds for the brother in 1999.

Besides, it was Madrid or Juve competing for his J. Hancock when he was at Monaco.

Shit player he sure wasn't/

Hehehe - o-boy no make me laugh o! Everybody knew Henry. Only ignorant English journalists claim otherwise. Didn't he thrash Newcastle in UEFA Cup in 1997? And he did the same to Man Utd in CL in 1998 when Monaco reached the semi's. Didn't he win World Cup in 1998? Plus he was playing with your brother Ikpeba at the time so you should have definitely known him. £11m in 1999 was not a joke.

Mr. Adelebo,

shush my friend.

My point is, Henry was not shit prior to his arrival at Arsenal.
Besides AW might have discovered him, but Tigana nurtured him.

@ibime try and get me point. We all know when he was playing in monaco, juve & when he played at d 98 world cup. What i am saying is that the world never really recognised while he was playing then. Even when he won d world cup, he was not nominated has fifa best 3 not until he was @ arsenal. Then AW coached him & made him known to d whole globe what a player he his. So get that into your head.

Pathetic thread. Nothing to talk about, except dreams that would never come true, No sane player in the whole world would like to play for arsenal at the moment, Your team is filled with undiluted rubbish. Like i said last year that you would not win anything come 2008, i'm telling u again, you aint winning jack come 2009. Arsenal would be trophyless for nothing less than 5 years more. Ya'll should get it into your skulls that the 3rd and 4th position you and liverpool compet for would be tougher next season, perhaps uefa cup becomes your only hope or you even start to fight against relegation. I remember when you were on top of the table and after winning Ac milan, the whole world never rested.
My one and only CHELSEA, even if we don't win the premiership, we are proud fighters, against all odds, we are going to finnish on point with Man u at worst. CHELSEA Fc of the 21st is the glory of the premiership, we making it tougher.

2) You claim most of the players were stolen - was Henry stolen at Monaco? Or Trezeguet? What of the transformation he caused in average players?

3) coaching is not simply about discovering a baby in its mothers womb - converting potential into true world class delivery doesn't happen very often, except with the best coaches like AW or Fergie.

Mr Wenger is a good Coach by all standard but most gunners attribute even the creation of heaven and earth to him Grin

2)if you have to go by that ideology many Coaches/ex-players will be genius. We mustbe grateful to Odegbami for enforcing Kanu to our Under-17 handlers in 1993 then. Mourinho must take the credit of of Deco and Manich's potential then. Thiery was just a bloody winger in that team. He was in that monaco team NOT because he's good but his French nationality. Tongue

3) like wenger has converted Lauren to a full back after his very good exploits in La liga abi?

4) Its not "how long" but "how well". By the way, i am not making comparison between Arsene and Frank
