Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only

Talking of AW not saying anything about big name players on his shopping list,just got this from caughtoffside

Arsenal linked to three more transfer targets, and still no big names in sight
May 25, 2008
A few days ago, Arsenal’s aging and increasingly useless midfielder Gilberto Silva said something along the lines of “Wah wah wah we need more players”.

Well, as it says in the Bible - “Moan and ye shall receive.”

This morning Arsenal are now linked to a flurry of new targets St Etienne duo Mouhamadou Dabo and Blaise Matuidi and Stuttgart striker Mario Gomez. Dabo shares a name with that awful player who signed for Birmingham or Wigan or something recently, while I can’t claim to have seen Matuidi or Gomez on the recent FIFA World Player of the Year shortlist although Gomez has been a big player in Germany for a few seasons now. But the much-desired “big names” they are not.

So if unsubstantiated gossip is anything to go by, Wenger is going to remain too stubborn to pay top dollar for big stars and instead go the route of that mid-range area of Eduardo, Nasri, Hleb, Rosickey etc where they are just about well known enough for fans to have seen them on FM or something.

Wenger does us all a favour by unearthing talents that no one has heard of, or bringing less-than-big names over for us to enjoy - its far more satisfying than just splurging. However even though the Gooners are constantly moaning about needing some big names, it’s becoming increasingly clear that they just need to accept that this is the way Wenger is going to spend his dosh.

Or, maybe its all a smokescreen and David Villa will walk into the Emirates tomorrow for a cool 30 mill

Wenger should go for yaya toure.
I hope Nasri will be a replacement for robert pires and score 15 goals every season like pires use to. That is why hleb and rosicky can never be compared to pires.

David villa in arsenal???
The only chance we have is to sign him before euro 2008 because after that, chelsea and barcelona are rebuilding their teams and they have too much moiney to spend.

Talking about Nasri reminds me of the endless russian roulette that hleb is playing with our emotions about whether he'
d stay or not.I had resolved to look at only his good side,but now it seems he's really making me look @ him like the twig with great ball skills he is that cannot take a shot @ goal (apologies Glen D)

My dream team next season

              almunia

sagna toure  gallas  clichy


rosicky  cesc  yayatoure   Nasri

   adebayor    david villa



however david villa and yaya are doubts, nasri might not fit in during his first season and rosicky might be injured again so we are left with only cesc in midfield with the likes of the same the same(diaby,gilberto,denilson,walcott and eboue )

Terrible

@vicade
Lol.Senderos is a Cygan incarnate notice the bald-head i think that dude is naturally clumsy as his case is definitely not one of inexperience,Eboue on the other hand is still useful but only as backup to Sagna i couldnt care less if Hleb goes 10 goals in three seasons is very poor.Rosicky is too injury prone so we should be looking for a potential replacement for him as well

Villa and Nasri would be good buys and Villa wants to come which means he would be willing to prove a point if signed

"Honourable” Arsenal midfielder linked with Spanish club: Will this saga ever go away?
Well it’s official: Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb really doesn’t want to stay at Arsenal. Or it at least looks that way after his agent decided to fan the already raging flames between his client and the club by linking Hleb with a possible move to Real Madrid.

The saga surrounding Alexander Hleb’s future at Arsenal took yet another turn as his representative claimed that it is a “great honour” for the midfielder to be touted as a possible target of Spanish giants Real Madrid. (Telegraph)

Hleb’s agent continued to stir the pot with this gem of a quote.

“For any player in the world it is always a great honour that a club like Real Madrid is interested in him,” Ferber told Spanish newspaper AS. “This confirms the good work that Hleb has been doing in these last few years that he is being recognised by one of the greatest clubs in the world. Nobody should have any doubts that the interest from Madrid is a privilege for the player.” (Telegraph)

Regardless of what happens in this saga, Hleb and his agent have shown their true colours. They have no problem biting the hand that feeds them, and the lack of respect shown to Arsenal proves that the Belarusian is fine burning bridges with the London club.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yaya Toure i agree

am sure a lot of gunners share your opinion on Eboue, he's the most disliked player.

Forget Villa .  we all know AW never   buys like that . .We will all be speculating and AW will come up with  players we  dnt even know about . .he likes rough diamonds.

lets just keep our fingers cross that he actually  buys . .

as per hleb please i am tired with all this merry go round stuff if he is tired let him move on . .We do not need another reyes
I dnt think  they will pay that much . maybe 15  or so

  we are around . my twinnys are busy

no way . .we believe in him . AW is not going anywhere

Roman wants UCL by fox . . so he will keep kicking out until  he himself will end up managing the team

yessssssss Yaya

AW's Job is secure than Fergie's own

Their soon to be manager listed him  among the players he wants to offload .

We are just hoping Aw grabs him before someone else does

Yeah ,   he is an excellent central midfielder . .  his style of play is unique 

i hope AW buys him

hnnnm,.
