Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only

Same here Presido.
I never believe the tabloids till I see the player displaying the red and white jersey in front of the Press.
As wise as all of them are, they couldn't PREDICT that Lassana Diarra would cross over to the Emirates from West London last August.
I find this one laughable, Louis Saha,
I think AW would be high on some cheap substances to bid for Saha!!!

Mexican striker Vela granted a work permit

Young Mexican striker Carlos Vela has been granted a work permit and will join up with the Arsenal first-team squad for pre-season training in July.

Vela, 19, who joined Arsenal from Celta Vigo in January 2007, has been on loan at Spanish side Osasuna for the entire 2007/08 season. He was a regular in the side, scoring three goals in 32 appearances.

The young striker, who has already made three appearances for the full Mexican national team, scoring once, also spent time on loan with Spanish second division side Salamanca during the 2006/07 campaign.

Speaking recently, Arsène Wenger said: “Vela will be involved with the first-team next season. He has played the whole season at Osasuna on the left wing and he had to work hard there. But for me it is not his position, he is a central striker, an Eduardo type. He is a great young player."


Vela

@ Eldee,

Nasri is just an average player. I watch Marseille everytime on Setanta and he is not ALL that.
Granted, Wenger might later turn his fortunes around(he knows how to turn sub-standard players into mediocres)
In principle, Nasri will end up like anutha Flamini after 2-3 seasons so there's nuthing extra special.

@ Eldee,

Anyone can be called the next Zidane or Maradona. . . . .
The media spew buffoonery everytime to sell their classless tabloids.
U want to compare Benzema to Nasri? Nasri will cost y'all 15 mil Euros. . . .How much do u think Benzema will go for?
Blimey. . . . .do the math!!!!!!

@ Eldee,

Benzema is the next big team in France. Nasri is mediocre.
Although, i believe Wenger can turn him around to be a good player but we still have to wait. . . . .
On what i have seen so far, he is just another Flamini or Diaby. Nothing spectacular and please the French league is nowhere near CLASS.
Anderson is a better player!

@ A-40,

I am too exhausted to drag this issue. U cannot compare a star in the French league to the generals of the Premiership.
Can Nasri get past Anderson, Hargreaves, Makelele, Mikel, Essien, Mascherano? Lets be honest. . . . . .  .
He has a long way to go.

eldee, Nasri was called the next Zidane three years ago while he was still seventeen. He hasn't lived up to it so far. You cannot compare him to Benzema at all. Anyway, he is flying in for medical today according to the Evening Standard.

Does he have to be the next Zidane to make his mark?I am not impressed by names all i want is players that can do it on the pitch.Has Leo Messi lived up to his Maradona hype? how about Freddy Adu? the press just do this stuff to kill players careers making crazy comparisons that puts these players under unneccessary pressure

Nasri's form has been average at best this season, truth be told - and interrupted by injuries. The press even started getting on his back for his less than spectacular performances. He isn't world class at the moment, but what does AW say he wants to sign? Thats right, you got it - TALENT. Which is what this boy has and will develop properly at Arsenal

A solution to Arsenal's problems in the short term? Maybe not, but he can make a significant contribution in my mind. And like A-40 said, he doesn't have to be 'world class' or the 'next Zidane' to make an impact on the team. The conclusions being drawn ARE ridiculous.

So many people thought Sag who? When he was signed - the most interesting thing was how his first name would be signed Bakari or Bakary or Bacari  now the rest is history. No one is saying Samir will instantly be a hit like Sagna or anything, but all these 'all knowing' comments have been heard before and were proven false in the end.

Its not as if Torres was scoring 24 goals in Spain before he left, but we knew he had TALENT and has brought it to bear now. Different surroundings, playing at a higher level and superior coaching will bring the best out of Samir.

Come to think of it, there was no place where I mentioned that I saw Nasri play
Infact the only times I've seen him at top game are the couple of internationals he's been in.
Apart from that it's just the clips from Sky Sports, Arsenal TV and that's it.

My point is that, with the few cameos I've seen of him, there's no way any sane person can term him a mediocre.
It's a very simple thing, watch his clips, and tell me you don't see some Zizou-esque traits in him
Tell me you don't see talent, I promise you, it'll be the last time any Arsenal fan will talk about him.
But to just stand up and say, 'he cannot make an impact in the Arsenal team' or 'he is sum next mediocre dude' is just BS.
As I said before, he's not the only player AW will sign.

Are u ok? please let me know asap.

whaooooooo

just modified user names
nothing has changed after all


kpsshhhhhhhhhhh

@jeje
Where you been?

@DEBOSKY
 
its good to be back thou, there aint many places in the world where u can find the species on sporties

I also forget to ask the latest on Hleb i think we can scam Barca again lets sell him for 20mil

@ Jackal

I can't help you anymore, is it completely incomprehensible for you to understand that pseudo-pathological means 'approaching-pathological state' - It means your lying is getting out of hand, I can't help you if your head is so far up your ass that you can't decipher that. 

That Sagna did better WITH Eboue does not mean that was the reason he had a great season - Eboue complimented his game, but he had mad game all on his OWN geddit? 

No one is buying your revisionist nonsensical reasoning here. bottle it and shut up. 

@ A-40

things are happening behind the scenes - when all the brouhaha about the CL finals have died down, you will see one or two signings before the Euros and the final two afterwards.

Hleb's agent is playing to the gallery, trying to get the highest prize for his player. My wager is that all this talk of Madrid and the rest will scare off Inter and the foolish agent will come back to arsenal to try to renegotiate a new deal. I don't think he's going to go.
