AW will sign someone. . . . .who knows who it'll be?  Undecided

i'm pretty certain it wont be Yaya - maybe Barry or Alonso, or some unknown dude from Romania  Grin Grin

5 weeks to go  Tongue

I will actually prefer Barry to Alonso for every reason

plus Alonso is more like a Liverpool reject, we ain't rubbish dump . . . . like Chelski

@ Fola
Don't worry about rejects.
AW has ressurected so many careers.
Of course, the most vivid example is Henry.
We can say that he was a reject at Juve.Can't we?

I prefer Barry if we have to go for any of them less injury-prone and scores more goals (most are penalties though) but i don't think we should go for either

Barry might not be able to "speak"  the football language with cesc like alonso might because of the spanish connection. I am of the opinion that any guy coming in must be able to work with cesc fabregas and must understand cesc fabregas way of playing the game which is why i will prefer xabi alonso to barry.

this is also why i think if adebayor staying might be better because of his understanding with cesc. It is almost telephatic. Cesc is the key to the midfield and is now our most experienced midfielder. we need someone that can complement him as soon as the season begins.

Just pray to God that my thoughts about Adebayor for the coming season don't come true

I'm like Lips sealed it's a if that dude will not perform and will become such a crap during this campaign

I just pray Eduardo gets back on time and gets on track

and arsenal just keep getting weaker and weaker every season since '06.
05/06 we had lehmann, ashley cole, campbell, toure, eboue, pires,gilberto,fabregas, hleb, ljungberg, henry, reyes, bergkamp, rvp,clichy,lauren, etc plus adebayor and walcott from january.
06/07 we had lehmann, clichy, gallas, toure, eboue, gilberto,fabregas, hleb, ljungberg, rosicky, henry, adebayor, rvp,clichy,flamini, denilson, diaby, walcott etc,
07/08 we had lehmann,almunia, clichy, gallas, toure, sagna,eboue, flamini, gilberto,fabregas, hleb,  rosicky, adebayor, rvp, denilson, diaby, walcott, bendtner, eduardo etc
now  we are left with  almunia, clichy, gallas, toure, sagna,eboue, nasri, vela, ramsey, fabregas, rosicky, adebayor, rvp, denilson, diaby, walcott, bendtner, eduardo. . . appalling! Embarrassed
it would take a miracle for arsenal to win the league this season.

Is this optimism or pessimism??

Where is that faggot-ass Debosky when one needs him to clarify stuffs.
Only a blind man will compare the set of Gaynners today to the one of 5 years ago.
Gone are the days of Bergkamp's trickery, Henry's tenacity, Viera's dominance in the midfield and Ljunberg's amazing runs.

wenger needs to plan ahead incase of injuries  because what would happen if cesc gets injured or if clichy, there's no crime in havin a large squad. it would be nice, but its not possible to have your first 11 from d start of d season to d end. we dn't even have 3 goalkeepers! this aint lookin good at all

it would take a miracle for arsenal to win the league this season.

Then a miracle it is going to be.

 Arsenal last won a trophy in the 04/05 season by defeating man u in the FA cup final through penalty shoot out scored by viera after paul scholes missed even though we were out played in normal time and reyes got a red card in extra time.

05/06 was the champions league final run in paris and lehmann got a red card in the final. flamini had a decent run as left back that season  and even senderros played a good role as centre back that season.Henry missed two glorious chances at the final and we just managed to nick spurs to fourth place on the last day of the season.

06/07 was the carling cup final where walcott scored only for drogba to score twice and knock us out.

07/08 we finished 83 points just four poins behind united the champions considering we had RVP AND ROSICKY injured and eduarods leg injury we were just unlucky(bad referee decisions against liverpool in the UCL) and lacked experience when it really mattered coupled with the formidable form of both ronaldo and manchester united.

so if you say arsenal is getting weaker and weaker every season, it puzzles me greatly. I know we have not won any trophy in three years as hannibal and co make it their duty to remind us of that everyday  Grin but i wont say the team is getting weaker. All we need is one or two experienced players,less injuries and ALL THE LUCK WE CAN GET.

moreover most of the players that leave arsenal have had their best years while most of the players coming in have their best years ahead of them.

EVEN the great real madrid fc with all the galacticos and money  were trophyless for  THREE straight seasons 03/04, 04/05 , 05/06 and i think barca might just follow their footsteps  Grin. so Kini Big Deal Huh

I reckon with you a little bit.

But the problem is that Arsenal needs to keep players together for a much longer time

We need to improve on the team chemistry.

If Arsenal is able to keep a formidable team, then abu se bu se

one can only hope for the best to happen this coming season,

i cannot say we would win the premiership until the end of the first half of the season when i can fully evaluate the team.

@hannibal,

i think you are jackal and the other aliases,

from the previous post, i think its both pessimism and optimism,

pessimism in the sense that we are afraid of not winning anything again because of the crappy looking team.

optimism in the sense that we hope our "sexy" football would amount to something this time,

just my thoughts,

With this squad, you guys ran out of Gas last season. I hope that the Miracle really happens because i don't really see you guys going that extra mile with a leaner and less experienced squad and not also with Gallas's below par show of leadership.
Good Luck to you guys. Let Wenger make money while the Chavs and Manc strive for the title.

I know it's the News Of The World but you never know:
Quote
REAL MADRID will step up their pursuit of Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas after conceding defeat in the battle to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United’s insistence they will not sell their star winger has finally been accepted by the Spanish giants.

Real chiefs have run out of patience with United’s stance and Ronaldo’s refusal to ask for a transfer, so have made former Barcelona trainee Fabregas their new No 1 target.

Spanish sources are claiming to have made two approaches to Fabregas’ representatives and were told he wants to stay at Arsenal for at least one more year.

But, as United will testify, Real do not give up easily and will try to prise him away before the August 31 transfer deadline.

If the board should allow cesc to leave for any amount of money this season, the next person that will leave will definitely be arsene wenger and i don't think the arsenal board is ready to loose wenger.


On a brighter note, word on the web has it that Newcastle has put in a bid for senderros. I dislike senderros because he fucks us up when it really matters and he provided two assists for liverpool in the UCL but i hope he stays but if he goes, i think a guy called vincent Kompany can be an ideal replacement that is if there will even be any replacement Cry Cry Cry

Of course all doom and gloom from the mancs.
I am not surprised though, we heard the same gist same time last season.
and let's be honest.
Isn't it a waste of time reading up what the likes of NOTW have to say about Premiership teams,esp Arsenal??? Huh ??
soon they are going to say 'REAL MADRID SET TO BID FOR THE ENTIRE ARSENAL TEAM'
Someone has even opined that this is a less experienced team, therefore,they can't challenge for trophies.
How myopic to make this statement when there's still over 1 month left before the window closes.
Anyone that's been watching the EPL for a while would know that DEALS are still struck with a few minutes to go on August 31!!!!

Sometimes i wonder if Arsene is not his own worst enemy there are a lot of obvious problems that need to be fixed and he is yet to fix them e.g our defense.His decisions these last few months has been pretty poor a football manager does not lose 3 international Defensive Midfielders in 6 months

Arsenal should forget about winning anything this time around.
The squad is too young to challenge big teams like Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea. . . .

TH14,Ljungberg left last season and for me, we were just unlucky to have lost the league crown.
We lost just 3 matches and in the games against the Chavs and manure, we scored first.
Really, I am optimistic.

Chei Sorry its not my fault but Wengay. Scoring first is now the new trophy. I wait for the day your players will ride on open top bus in Central London to celebrate we score first against Man United and chelski.

For your info AIT showed some bit of the match yesterday before it went off which i suspect was a technical problem.

Even half intelligent people who read my post knew I was talking to my arsenal guys about how close we were to winning the title.(Is it a must for chaps like you to even respond?Huh Huh)
And talking about Open top bus in Central London
Oh my, u needed to have seen it in 2004,when we finished the entire season unbeaten!!!
I don't really exchange words with people here.There's no need,but when you come on board posting unadulterated drivel,I think I must point it out
