Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only

This is an Arsenal thread mister!

Shut up. . . . . .The same Burnley disgraced y'all, CHELSEA and now SPURS!!!

Point of correction~Burnley played a second string Arsenal Side!

Fact~They would have been walloped if it was the Arsenal first team

Certainly does!

what the A$$s could not do Spurs has done it.
Shame on u all.

Don't mention my name and frail in the same sentence 

But seriously does Arsene have a Plan B?If he does not sign Arshavin what alternative plan does he have with only 9 days to go 

@follypimpi
That was my fear initially these wins have a way of blinding Arsene's eyes to reality and realizing they can not perform consistently at such level

Wenger wants to buy, but Zenit are being idiots.

This guy will be 28 in May, by November will be able to buy out his contract for £5m, so why should we pay £19m for him now??

The guy is still a risk - no one knows how quickly he'll get accustomed to the pace of the premiership, he is currently training again, so it may take till end of February at the earliest for him to be fit enough to play. With all these reasons, why would we cave into their demands? No other clubs are bidding for the guy, Inter and Juve pulled out (likely over the silly price).

As P Diddy Hill-Wood said, It's our last offer - if they don't want it, they should stick Arshavin in their pipeline and convert him to gas. 

Wenger has to be disciplined - he must spend wisely on a player while keeping the rest of the finances in check too.

Arsene is not blinded by anything, if he was, we wouldn't have increased our bid. The fact remains that there is no reason for us to be desperate for this player beyond £12m (rising to £15m with trophies).

On to other issues - seeing Jack Wilshire score goals like this is likely influencing AW's decision not to go crazy over some Russian. Granted he is still 17. . . but he's an exceptional talent nonetheless. 



Arsene likely has other plans, that's why there's a 26th deadline on ending this chase for Arshavin so we can pursue other targets. I hope we can get this over as soon as possible so we can get our act together and focus on the rest of the season.

@ Brash

What we really need is a CB and a DMF. The kind of players AW is looking for are likely not available at the moment, and I personally believe he wants to try out the existing players to the max (Diaby/Denilson for DMF Kolo, Djourou, Gallas for CB) and determine who is best and who he will get rid of.

Giving them till end of the season will let us know who is good enough to remain and who should be sold. Bringing anyone new might prevent us from seeing that clearly.

On the attacking midfield side, there is an urgent need to do something because Cesc. Rozzi and Walcott are out, AND Rozzi may not get back to his best for us again. Getting Arshavin at this moment would be a wise way to handle that - he's available, has quality and has won something.

For the other positions, I think it would be wise to wait, except if we can get a very good DMF right now (and sell SONG  )

Our chances of winning are bright, especially if our players continue to show the determination of the past 8 games. What has killed us most this season is that high performers from last season have not kept up their game. At this point last season, Gallas, Clichy, Ade and Cesc were unplayable. If Ade, Gallas and Clichy can recreate that form,with the improvements in Nasri, RVP and Djourou we've seen. . .we'll have an excellent chance even WITHOUT Arshavin. 

Debo na wah for you ooh!!

These Madridistas are nut-cases what on earth is Florentino Perez still doing sef? They might as well resurrect Santiago Bernabeu and make him club President 

Gervinho seems pretty good if anything i saw during the Olympics is anything to go by we might even be able to get him for the low same for Matthew Upson who would give us defensive cover

I still maintain that you guys dont need him. How many times have you seen him play? Debo and family, I ask you, how many times have you seen play. He is good no doubt but not the best you can get. Take it or leave it.

If he was that goooddddddddd and you need him that bad, why is Hill-Wood making a take it or leave offer? becos he can buy out his contract?

Need I remind you of some players in europe who recently transfered to bigger clubs and for a large amount. They also had the option to buy out their contracts for lesser amount but clubs still paid big for them. Arsha is good but not that good. Take it or leave.

you got it wrong. If he was that good. Then buy him outright.

Stop dodging and answer the question jo!  


What do you mean by 'buy him outright'?  

Don't tell me that £12m is just for his owl-face?  

Or is it just for his left leg?  

Chei!! Zenit wan play Arsenal wayo!  

Sell us the WHOLE player or fogerrabourrit! 


Thanks for the answer mate, but the question about how he beats defenders is still there  

Manchester City have literally paid the price for their impatience in the transfer market after it emerged that £17m new signing Nigel De Jong had a £2.3m release clause in his contract that would have activated in just four months.

This is what I am talking about - Arsenal WILL NOT be foolish and throw away money like Man City. If Zenit want to keep Arshavin, let them do so, we might re-bid in the summer, but it would definitely be a lower figure.

Why throw away money like City did? No wonder Hamburg were so keep to sell. 

Nice one Martin! 

Those guys are not Wenger's Type. The youngest in the AYC  will at least be 25 Years old in reality.
