JAY-Z: Beyonce happy for me to buy into Arsenal

Jay-Z has again declared plans to buy into Arsenal.

The rapper insists that he and wife Beyonce Knowles would even move to London so he could be "involved in the decision-making" alongside septuagenarian chairman Peter Hill-Wood

He said: "We would have to spend much more time in London. Bey knows how much I love sports and has known about my interest in Arsenal for a while.

"I never want to be a back-seat investor. I want to be on the board, involved in the decision-making, I'm at the stage of my career where I am ready for another investment like this.

"I have really got into soccer over the last 10 years and I've been saying for some time I want a percentage of Arsenal."

------------------------

Someone tell hov we dont need an American millionaire on our board right now

Maybe Jay-Z would try and sign Lebron James for Arsenal. Who is gonna buy his story that he is buying into Arsenal cos he loved Sport. Nonsense and Ingredients.

@Hnic
Three straight errors in three straight games is not good enuff mon frere.  

Naah A-40
I am sure you are not including the 'Pool game.
Almunia was beaten at his near post and AA23 passed to Wilshere who misjudged the pass?
Where does LK6 come in?

Hov, we ball so hard they think we was down with the Illuminati. The 'clock' do illuminate, our pockets are knotty!!!

But seriously if he does, will point to 2 advantages, we continue our multiple ownership model, plus we could tap into the Shawn Carter money making machine to increase revenue.

What he'll bring 'footbalistically' tho. . . .well, same as the next one.

And oh, the tologese will have a heartattack, no?

I have never liked anyone that calls football "soccer",

Getting sent off within 3 minutes of getting your first booking in a game like that still counts as an error unless error means something else where you come from. Thankfully it enabled him miss the only game we went on to not concede

A40 good shout but if you've been following my post when I bother to be serious my number 1 concern is defence. The reality is we are not any of these guys because we have a far superior attacking potential. That is not taking for granted that we'll always put 3 to 4 past opponents tho. What we need to do like you rightly said is imbibing a strong team-defensive culture.
Not just one defender, not just the defense but the whole team.
I still like pointing the blackburn goal, it will have been a total non-issue if either diaby or vp had challeneged in the middle. because simply put samba lacks the skill to dribble either one of them.

Come on man Koscielny's error was a lot more grievous how can you even debate that?

dude, it's all over the internet. or are you suggesting tribalfootball fabricated those jay-z quotes?

big deal?

A40 make we free this debate. Simply cos its in the nature of fans that one man can do no wrong while one man can do no right.

On the Hov issue, he's an Arsenal fan, he's a good business man, I'm not yet seeing the downside if he wants to get involved.
We'll wait and see how authentic and serious the gists are. For now I'm more concern with news about Diaby. Anybody's got updates?

The real big picture is that arsenal is doing great so far n the tradition of scoring several goals is unchanged. I think its unfair to say arsenal kept a clean sheet in the only game Kos missed. it may be true,but Kos had nothin to do wit the goal we conceded at anfield. if anything,he handled torres fine. The guy in question is playin the the EPL for the first time,and an arsenal team plagued wit defensive woes in recent times. Arsenal fans shouldnt compound the pressure he is already facing. The defense is far better than what we had to cope wit last term and we score more than we concieve in each game. Thats what important

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas maintains goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has the complete trust of the team as they look to mount a double challenge for domestic and European honours.

The Gunners have kicked off the Barclays Premier League season with three wins from four games to sit two points behind Chelsea. Almunia's position as first choice was the subject of much speculation over the summer, as Arsenal had bids for Fulham's Australia international Mark Schwarzer turned down.

Fabregas said: "Manuel commanded the defence very well at Blackburn - but it is not just about one game or two or three. He is a well-loved player among everybody here and performs well for this club. We all wish him a super season and have a lot of trust."

Wenger saw Abou Diaby (leg) added to the injury list on Saturday following what looked a bad tackle from Bolton defender Paul Robinson, which went unpunished, and resulted in the midfielder, who had only just come on, having to be substituted.

Winger Samir Nasri - fit again following knee surgery - will return into contention to face Braga in the Gunners' Champions League opener after being an unused substitute.

Wenger chose to rest both full-backs Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna for the Premier League game. England
international Kieran Gibbs, who turns 21 later this month, believes the competition for places can only be positive.

"It is difficult to play the same team through all of the season because players are going to get tired - that is when we start to get injuries," Gibbs told Arsenal TV Online.

"It is good for people to get a chance.

"Not only is the competition going to be good for Gael to play well, it is also going to be good for the club as well because we are both fighting to win help the team win something this year."

Unwavering support to BIG AL. Hope he wont dissapoint

You obviously hate LK6
He was sent off when all the goals in the match have been scored!
Even the pundits on Sky(who dont really like Arsenal) agreed that the handball incident was innocuous and didn't really deserve a yellow card.
Abeg free Koscielny oooh


In other news.
Armand Traore is injured.
Would be out for at least 4 weeks due to a'muscle injury'
Even players on loan are getting injured.
This injury thing na curse

Diaby to miss Braga and Sunderland. Dunno if I shld be happy its not as bad as we thot, or still jus be pissed this useless teams that can't play ball have claimed our player.

Diaby might be out for even longer. . . .Wenger just decided to look at the next two games and not any further into the future.

I hope he recovers quickly, ditto for Vermaelen - though I'm glad Squillaci and Koscielny are getting valuable playing time. The Kokomaster will be gracing the CL for the first time so I hope he puts in a stellar performance. 

In other news. . . .did you know that Denilson made 8 of the 24 passes prior to the 4th goal against Bolton?

For all his flaws and defensive weaknesses, when it comes to possession football, there are few better than him.

Interesting article here - http://gingersforlimpar..com/2010/09/are-we-witnessing-age-of-denilson.html

i think denilson lacks the single most important thing for a defensive midfielder: strength and rigidity. till he improves there,he wont be in my own startin 11

^^

I think the real question is whether Wenger regards him as a DM or a ball carrier in the MF. Remember Song was on the pitch as well against Bolton, so his role might not necessarily be that of a DMm though I agree he must improve on tackling and tracking back.

when una dey plan sell market for here?

dayokanu:

when una dey plan sell market for here?

Didn't you see the excellent market we sold on Saturday?

You can't beat a 24 pass goal for marketable goods - sheer quality.

Dk brain no fit process things like that. In his archaic world folks are still kicking pig skins on muddy pitches.

Funny thing on saturday for some stretches of the game wilshere was playing dm rather than song. Ditto when dennilson came after diaby got tackled. Denny might really not fit the architype of the DM but as shown throught that particular stat he's a very important conduit from defense to attack.

Infact I think it was in the same article I saw his pass per min comparism with other midfielders. Its practically unbelievable.

Didn't that goal show everything?? Song wins the ball, Denilson receives loose balls and makes sure they get to a creative midfielder(Fab/Wingers) and the creative player finds any goal threat(Vela).
It's the modern premiership dissection of what used to be just two central midfielders. One DMF and one 10.

Its not about that mehn. Like i said its easy to ignore stuff when you are winning but i trust Gunners when e begin
dey happen this thread go turn Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a visual stenographer i just say the stuff i see

Yes but we have seen this all before na today? A tradition of scoring without a defensive culture will not win us titles in modern day football. The Spain we are busy trying to emulate won the W.C and Euros on the back of having the best defense in those respective competitions. Well the stats are there! The only game he missed we didn't concede (I know this is the umpteenth time i am saying that) like it or not but i am 80% sure we woulda conceded had he played. We got away with his school-boy defending against technically deficient teams. We would not escape with that against the likes of Villa,Man City,Tottenham and Everton never mind Man U and Chelsea

You obviously don't know what you are saying. I ask you again is getting sent off within three to four minutes an error or not?? A handball that was going to stop a potential fast-break innocuous?? You and the pundits at Sky must be having a laugh

@A40 it is the nature of the beast up in here infact majority of arsenal blogs. I have come to accept it, though everybody here knows that charge cany be laid at my table.

But 4 matches, total of 10 shots on goal against of which he featured in 3, he really must be shit!! *wink*
Cut the boy proper slack abeg.

i hope AIT will show Arsenal Vs Braga match today? anybody with any clues?

As much as I want to quit this arguement, I still don't get your question!

we say we are fans and we are pleasuring in dwelling in criticising our own player. Imagine if we all continue like this. Will Kos ever improve? Not everyone can do a Vermalen,most need time.

PLS let the Kos talk stop for now. Lets Brag Braga instead

Its moderavizzle in the building, just after broomstick show. Surely the sweeping commences eh?!!

Its matchday today, The gunners march out again. Braga have decades ago declared allegiance to the red and white army. Sadly though, they will have to fall by friendly fire. Go easy boys, make clean, quick and merciful.
Tenhutt!!!!

@Slimshay
I was taught that its better to be pro-active than reactive so by all means I would rather point out em flaws now

@Dipo2much
Not everyone can do a Vermaelen but at the same time you expect a certain level of performance and Kos has not shown that I am afraid

@Hnic
Simply put if you where a manager would you raise the wages of a player who committed two bookable offences in 4 mins?

A40 and guys, abeg its matchday today, let's continue this matter tommorrow.
