follypimpi: Gbam! I suggested this to a friend a while back and he said he didn't think Song had the physique to take accurate shots being top heavy  but I think he can work on it. |

duduspace: Well the arsenal kinda play does not support shooting when you can pass .Haven't u noticed AA now is passing more rather than shooting. |

duduspace: Walcott isn't on 60k per week that's for sure. Secondly, you just don't pay a player money cos he's English - if he is quality then he deserves it SIMPLE. It's not about just giving money for the fun of it. I don't believe so much about player power - Wenger should be able to negotiate a hard bargain - Wes Brown was forced to remain at Utd cos the club negotiated well, so we can do the same as well, while paying a fair wage not exorbitant amounts. I don't want a 'quota' as such, but good players period. |

Walcott IMO is a 1 hit wonder. |

debosky:When will you stop comparing United with your shitty club, Arsenal can never be United Biko. It will be better you do the comparism with Spurs and Villa not even Citeh or chavs. |

presido1: Don't mind Debosky. . . . .citing Wes Brown's case here is a tad folly. Brown agreed to stay with United because United stuck with him through thick and thin. . . . He sat down and thunk: Nah, i cannot leave this people. . . . .They have won things for me, they were patient with ma injuries and i owe em. Tell us any spectacular thing Arsenal have done for Walcott to make him stay with y'all. . . . .The lack of trophy or Eboue's British accent?? |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by debosky(m): 3:01pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
~Sauron~: Many things - if he wasn't with us, he wouldn't have gotten a Nike advert. Furthermore, we've paid his wages all through his multiple injuries for England and have consistently stood by him when he had his two shoulder surgeries which were genetic defects. What else do you want us to do?  |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by Cristalz(f): 3:06pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
Tayoccu, where you at? Liverpool - Arsenal match thread isn't on the board. |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by Sauron1: 3:13pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
debosky: Cameron Jerome plays for Birmingham and he copped a contract with Nike when he was still a Championship player.
We paid Saha's wages and consistently stood by him too. . . . .Saha copped £90k per week in 2007/8 and he made only 6 league starts that season.
Pay him £90,000 a week. |

Arses be ready to be whooped by loserpool on sunday. Sir Torress is back. I am yet to see the boastful allboys post his predos again. |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by Image123(m): 4:11pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
One thing I'm clear on, is that Arshavin will not score 4goals even as the probable top striker for the game. It baffles me that he has reduced his shot taking just as Rosicky did. I thought it was helping the team. |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by dayokanu(m): 4:47pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
Walcott IMO is a 1 hit wonder When was this hit you are talking about? Gaynners 4 losses in 3 weeks, Must suck being a GAYYner |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by duduspace(m): 4:54pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
debosky: Walcott is on 60K per week confirmed, after the likes of RVP, Cesc and Gallas he is in the next band of higher earners, he even earns more than the likes of Sagna and Clicy and possibly even Vermaelen. His contract had to be increased because he was earning less than 1/3 of what the other players in the English national team were earning on his previous contract. Clichy, Sagna and Eduardo are in the 45K - 55K bracket with Song recently moving into that band while Vela's new contract is between 35K and 40K. Check out the recent version of FM2010 and you'll get all the info. Actually I'm not bothered much about what he earns if he performs, to whom much is given and all that blah blah blah. Player power dey o, its not easy keeping a full mexican international when there are others looking for him and can wind down his contract and leave for free, remember also that we've spent so much on him already having had him on our books since 2005. Don't mean to be cheeky, can you guess how much Ade is earning in City? |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by debosky(m): 7:52pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
Ade is earning above 100k at City, but again, I don't think Walcott can be earning 60k right now. As you said, the key thing is performance. |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by allboyz(m): 9:04pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
60k is too much for walcy at this level. @sauron - i dey lie? RVP = 30 goals this season?  |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by duduspace(m): 12:11am On Dec 12, 2009 |
debosky: Ade is on 170K at City, he is the 2nd highest earner after Robinho, he was on about 100K when with us. I feel for Theo atimes because he has to prove that he is now within the big boy's rank when I'm not actually sure he has actually reached that level and Arsene will not pay someone to be a bench warmer so its make or break time and he is now feeling the heat. Ade's contract before his 30 goal season was in the 35k to 40k range so you see where the beef arose from when he couldn't reach those heights again after pulling all sorts of public stunts to get his raise. |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by debosky(m): 12:37am On Dec 12, 2009 |
Dudu I seriously dispute your pay figures - if Ade was earning 100k was he the highest earner at the club?? His wages were doubled from about 40k to 80k a week or thereabouts. As far as I know, the highest paid - Gallas and co earn about 90k a week, so there's no chance of Ade earning that much at Arsenal. Walcott might be earning 60k in reality but I'd seriously be pushing him hard to perform if he was earning that much at the club. |

^ ^ ^ I dont want to see Silvestre on this thread MUki. . .Take it down now! |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by Gooner2(m): 11:51am On Dec 12, 2009 |
I'll start with the annoying Uzbek who for some reason has increased his stake in the club to 26%, I wonder who's been selling to him? I'm sure it's in response to the movements of Silent Stan and as we draw closer to the New Year I'm sure we'll be hearing more from his people. Tomas Rosicky's new contract looks like it will be signed in the next few days which makes me think that Arsene is hedging his bets to prevent any of our players from doing a runner like the Flamster! It's either that or he must think they are really good, you be the judge. If you are reading this on the web then you'd probably notice that the browser address of the blog is now www.thegreengooner.com. If you have bookmarked the site you may need to change it. I was finally able to move most of the site data yesterday and to be honest it wasn't really that difficult to do. You may see slight differences with the links for the next few days but eventually I'll sort it out and also set up the forwarding from both old addresses just to keep the traffic coming in, meanwhile, thanks for your support. I've gotta run to catch a wedding reception in a few minutes and nothing new seems to be on the radar. I guess I'll wait till I see the entire squad list for Anfield before we begin to talk tactics. In the meantime, I wonder why it had to rain this morning. I must also mention that from tomorrow, the new email for the blog will be blog@thegreegooner.com so you may need to add it to your address book. I don't think the users migrated properly to the new site so you may have to re-register before you can post comments on the site. Till tomorrow, Victoria Concordia Crescit. |

~Gooner~:   |
| Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by debosky(m): 12:20pm On Dec 12, 2009 |
~Gooner~: Abomination! Silvestre cost us two goals on the night. . . .Fabianski's dodgy handling probably cost us one goal and the defence ball watching cost us the fourth. What a horrible night for defending.  Fast forward to December 2009. . . .no RVP, no Gibbs and Almunia is fit - can we make something out of this game?? We definitely need to - but Liverpool are arguably stronger right now - all their big hitters are back - Torres, Gerrard, and the others. We on the other hand can't buy strikers for all the makossa dancers in Abidjan. Eduardo should be fit, so should Vela and Walcott, so if we are to believe all the words Wenger speaks about these three then they should be good enough to start, or at least feature prominently. Walcott will remember the last game with fondness - his decision making clicked that night and ended up in a fantastic breakaway goal. AA23 should also be fired up. . .he became an official Arsenal legend in the game as well. My main worry is that we will be mugged by Torres in a moment of defensive hesitancy - that is why Gallas and Vermaelen MUST be at their best else it will won't be pretty for us. |

~Gooner~:i hate him come and 'comot' your statement before i whoze you MrCrackles:calm down, i dont like him either, the pic is just funny |

Theo Walcott's daddy is a Liverpudian, sorry daddy ! |

Another weekend of footie, and a MUST win match for the BIG 4. . .if they're to stay afloat!  The game against liverpool is another BIG test for the boys which i hope they pass*finger's crossed*. . .Liverpool will remember the last game @ Anfield, so they'll be looking out for Arshavin, which leaves the door open for DUDU, Vela & Walcott. . .*I hope they make chances count this time around* I trust Carragher's brain to fail him on this one wiv one or two costly mistakes. . . , the guy could be such a wuss on big occasions and it just might be on those days! The key battle will be in the midfield as the trio of Gerrard, Aquilani & Mascherano will be looking to outwit & outshine whatever we put up. Long balls will be useless in Arsenal's case as we're on the short side. . I hope Diaby starts& plays behind the two CF'z! I'd prefer to see FAB playing AM R, leaving Song & in the holding postion. . .Wenger's gonna stick a 4-3-2-1 this time around and leave DUDU/Arshavin as point man upfront!Anyways can't wait for the Man U/Aston Villa *a good match* & Chelsea/Everton. . . Till then, in the words of the "Green Gooner" Victoria Concordia Crescit! Gunners |

mukina2: Guys, Guys it was supposed to be a joke! I was just following up from the picture. . .haven't you noticed that no one is talking about a new contract for Silvestre. . .we've renewed what 11 contracts this summer? As long as Gallas and Veramaelen stay fit. . .I don't reckon SIlvestre will ever get a look in. |
