Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only

you wish

Nothing is wrong in bringing up  young players missy . Anderson and Nani you guys call young, didnt they start off as someone's project?

Name Wenger's youth players that have left . i mean players he raised . . am not talking of those that were constantly on loan o.
Fact is no one can see into the future. so what if Flam left?
as far as i am concerned, if a player leaves like the likes of flam and cashley, they deserve to be cussed by the fans . Have you ever seen gunners on  NL diss Veira or Pires?
when a player plays well we will be happy forhim and for the club and for ourselves as fans Eboue is currently an Arsenal player but people still diss it, so whats ur point anyways?

Didnt Owen say the same about staying at Liverpool? didnt becks did the same?
Henry thought he could win the UCL so he came up with fickle excuses

Most of those boys are loyal to AW and not to the club if he was to leave then we will all be worried.

Some of them their loyalty cannot be tested. and yeah i say again Fabregas! I hope you read where Ade openly rubbished all rumours and showed his loyalty to Aw and Arsenal

Rooney kei If Ade was British he would have been hyped too . abeg make i hear word Remember WC? Rooney blah blah what did he get in the end . a nice red card .

Girl unlike you guys who see no wrong when their players mess up we do  If you are being honest with ur self, Rooney didnt have a good season . accept! The guy missed lots of sitters . so whats the difference between him and Ade . Am not talking of any other season but for this one Ade is better sue me . He made the team of the season darling. Rooney did not . Shows Ade is getting there .


Puhlease take out Messi from that list maybe ETo would have suited perfectly in ur list 

If Wenger wants to buy one experienced player darling thats him. He knows what he is doing . Wenger knows

So Gaynners think signing Ben Arfa will be a good move?  Hopeless ignoramuses! 

What good will that show pony do for you guys? He belongs in the circus.Tellingly,Arsenal haven't given any indication about their supposed interest in signing him.Arfa is simply angling for a move to London.

About Arsenal's youth policy,where were you retarded Gaynners when I noted last season that very few of Arsenal's youngsters will actually mature into world-class players and that the few that do might seek to pursue greener pastures elsewhere?

Bringing up budding talents is one thing,keeping them is another.Ask Ajax.If you guys were prepared to pay Sol Campbell £100k per week,I can't see why you maintain such a ridiculous wage structure,especially while the manager is earning far more than Fergie who is even more successful. 

The key reason Adebayor hasn't started being a nuisance is that other top clubs are still unconvinced about his talent.No other club has indicated a desire to sign him,thus,he has very little bargaining power.Club scouts have adopted a "wait and see" approach with Ade to ensure this season wasn't a one-off

PS:Funny that Flaimini will be playing in the UEFA Cup next season given his stated reason for leaving.

Well when compared to Torres - he's only marginally worse at 23% compared to 25% for Torres surprisingly Yakubu has the highest percentage at 28% shot conversion.

Thank you for seeing through those lies given by Flamini - playing in the UEFA cup as well as struggling and likely failing to win the league again is what will happen to him at Milan, he might as well shut up and collect his money quietly.

We were willing to pay that much for Sol Campell, and what happened? We won the prem the year after, plus he was an established international, excellent in his position and coming in on a free transfer. Flamini has ONE outstanding season and wants to earn as much as Cesc? No way Jose.

Ben Arfa may be a good move, at least he scores with more frequency than Hleb or MOFO Eboue doesplus he's 21 and can still learn a thing or two unlike the latter who are stuck in their ways 

But as you clearly said, signing players is no guarantee, much less a potentially temperamental Ben Arfa (sounds a bit like Diarra with his singsong - 'i must start')

But anyone who knows about Arsenal's transfer system know that you'll never hear the club talk about a player till they announce the signing - AFC doesn't engage in speculation much, so the lack of any noise from within the Gunner camp is not an indication of interest or otherwise.

The truth is that much of our production line goes into the lower rungs of the league or to the championship - we need to produce and retain more top class talent. AW has admitted as such and we may begin to see such happening soon enough in the next 2-3 years.

 I would not regard Flamini as our 'product' anyways, the truth is, he's always left other clubs for his own personal interest above all else - leaving Marseilles in the lurch after 'agreeing' a new deal. His actions were not unexpected to me.

@ Debosky,

While signing players is no guarantee to success, NOT SIGNING players gives a club no chance at all. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Man United were the biggest spenders last summer and did it worth their while? A resounding YES!!!!!  Lets imagine Man United without their summer addition!!!!
Ferguson would have crashed out of Europe(No Vidic and Rooney), United would have finished 4th or 5th in the Premiership. You don't win lottery without a raffle ticket. Arsenal should start spending! They must match their rivals if they want to compete realistically next season.

I completely agree with you. While some may argue that we already have a peculiar wage structure, i still believe we need to spend money for the best players. No point in having a nice studium with no trophy to show.

I think Debo mentioned something about evolution not revolution as Wenger's strategy. I think it should be the other way round. If we don't keep up with the competition, we will get left behind. God forbid Totenham draw closer to us in coming seasons.

so he went to milan to admire their full trophy cabinet eh? 

please tell me what they are winning this season? second round CL and 4th place in the Calcio? 

There is no 'bad belle' I'D prefer a player tell the truth than try to sound 'above it' - he left for money, let him say so like Cashley did.  Blaming him? no way, but don't try to hoodwink us when we know the truth

The only reason I would prefer Milan over the Viola is that I am a big fan of Italian football and I want the Italians to do well in next season's UCL .

Other than that,it will be hard on Fiorentina to miss out.Prandelli has done a fantastic job despite his wife's death.Maybe missing out my force Milan to engage in a long overdue wholesale overhaul of their squad. Finishing 4th last season did Bayern a lot of good.

Flamini is only 24,thus,even if he misses out on next season.He still has many years ahead.

I have this funny feeling that Arsene will definitely buy players this time.Ben Arfa would be a good buy any money made of the sale of Hleb would do we shouldnt foot-drag on this and he should also remember the Abrahamovich's Transfer Law (If you are going to buy a player make sure i don't know about it)Bosingwa is a very good example of that law

No man,Eboue is SHIT through and through

Meanwhile,our neighbours a very busy still

Tottenham keen on former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder

"Not content with snapping up the exciting Luka Modric for £16.5million, Tottenham are looking to bolster their midfield further by adding the Premier League journeyman Lassana Diarra to their ranks. The midfielder has already been on the books at Chelsea and Arsenal, before joining Portsmouth during the January transfer window. Many have suggested that if the player had stayed at the Emirates, they may have put up more of a title challenge".

atimes these guys talk as if it is not the same Wenger that we had always known . . . .  

@Debosky

o gbadun rara . . . have u joined Loyika in the specsavers' queue  na wa for una 

where exactly have I said Ade deserves 80k . . .I MAINTAIN . . .HE HAS PROVEN HIS WORTH, IF HE GETS ANY MORE, EVEN IF PLUS 15K . . HE DESERVES IT !!! 

I wonder why peeps keep comparing Rooney with Adebayor even when he has shown himself more prolific and even more productive than Rooney . . .he misses sitters . . .who doesnt  Berba or Torres 

atimes u guys just castigate blindly . . . .

am I of those here prior to this season was very harsh on him . . . .I only started believing so much in him early this season and he has repaid my faith in him . . .so y'all go on and castigate him and MAKE SURE HE DOESNT HAVE SOMEONE TO PAIR HIM UPFRONT WITH   

Wenger go just dey shit for body   

_{P.S this is not for any non-gunner to capitalize on . . .we are just catching fun amongst ourselves} 

d'oh 

Rooney has more football brains than Adebayor 

guy, Razorr and lately Cristalz have been feeding u with too much milk from NAFDAC-unapproved chesticles 

what is the essence of the brains when u don't score goals with 'em 

Rooney should be ashamed at Ronaldo outscoring him 

what  do u think we would have been saying about Ade if Fab4 had outscored him  . . . .hell would have been let loose on how we need to loan him to sootin' stars !!! do u still wonder why Fergie planned to hijack him last season 

how on earth can u be comparing dudu with Ade ? in what manner ? how ? where ? IN UR NIGHTMARES ? 

u also complain about his playfulness . . .have u forgotten how playful Henry was ? and how he used to be his BROTHER'S KEEPER  lol . . .

abeg . . . Ade is just trying to take after Henry jare . . .leave him be ! 

haaaaaaaaaaaa . . . . .

Debo  . . .u dey f@ck up 

Dudu compared with Adebayor ? 

are u on some cheap spliffs . . . .

Adebayor really got on people's nerves . . but do u remember the many disses dudu got here before he began to peak in form before the Taylor tackle 

Ade has shown what stuff he is made of . . yes we can talk about that ! not some EDUARDO that the jury is still out on. . . LET HIM IMPROVE ON HIS PACE, DRIBBLE-ABILITY, STAMINA  ET AL before u can pick up an agent tag for him   

and bros . . .hope u remember that FAB4 faded out at a time this season 

Dudu's performance was not the problem, AW was still misbehaving at that point, playing Dudu - a cold blooded poacher as a left winger. That was why he was not performing. 

Once he started playing him in a striking role, goals started to come - quality goals too 

Ade sef lost form this season, who didn't? Except maybe Sagna and Clichy, all our players lost form at some point on the other, so that is no news.

The jury is not out on Eduardo - he scored 12 in his debut season - Ade scored 3 so compare and contrast. 

Pace is not Dudu's forte, but dribbling? Ade dribbles himself first before anyone else 

Ol boy leave this matter, Ade is good, but not good enough for 80K - even DD no dey collect that much!

@ Debosky

I never said we needed 5 more players,not that it'D be a bad idea to offload eboue,senderos & co then get quality better replacements.
But realistically,you and I know that it's easier for the Nigeria police to stop taking bribes @ check points than for AW to sign that much number of players in a single season.

I only said 3 (THREE)

Don't kid yourself Debsky,don't you think we would have fared better if Ade had a strike partner to complement his efforts (with the season-long injury of RVP and Dudu of late),or if we had bolstered our defence before the ACN (gosh,the backline couln't even defend any of our leads WHEN IT MATTERED MOST)

Bottom line is Arsenal is too big a club for anyone to jubilate that we finished 4 points behind the league winners (NOT AFTER WE HAD STAYED 3 SEASON TROPHYLESS)

Is Hleb really 27? That's quite funny because people talk about young gunners but truthfully Liverpool and Man United probably have just as many, if not more, youngsters. Hleb's 27, Rosicky's 27. Gallas is what, 30? Toure is 27. Gilberto is 31. Almunia is 30 too.Lahmann is 38, Even the young Eduardo almost 26. The shit fans that will never see reality will attack me now. Who cares.
