Liverpool EPL second placed team whooped by a midtable La Liga team?

I thought EPL was the best league in the world

chic2pimp:
Is this the same pique that rooney,tevez,ronaldo and berbatov could not score against, won the treble and is starting games for spain. Rossi who is starting games for the world champs, pires that was superb throughout his stay @ arsenal and ruud that no striker currently@ your disposal is close to matching his goal scoring record.

[size=15pt] Bordeaux open to new Chamakh bid from Arsenal[/size]


PARIS (AP) -Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud says he could grant Marouane Chamakh his dream move to Arsenal if Gunners boss Arsene Wenger comes back with a better offer for the striker.

"It's up to Arsene to see what he wants to do,'' Triaud told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday. "We have always said we would listen to the player , but not just in any way (for any amount).''

Triaud said Arsenal has so far offered a figure under ?7.5 million (US$10.8 million; 6.4 million pounds) for the 25-year-old Morocco forward, who only has one year remaining on his contract. Triaud rates Chamakh twice as highly, but is willing to negotiate.




my Quest: is Chamakh worth more than 8M? GBP

OMO IBO:
Yo Gaynners, when are you lot gonne pay for kalou?

everyday i just get bored and honestly kinds tired now. . . .like Biina  said. . . the good player are already been tapped up. .  .AW should just sign and let this players train with us in the pre-season!!

when it rains - it pours!!!!!!

@MoneyRule - Cana should not be more than 7M!

biina:
Its funny when people criticize perez's approach to managing madrid when he has pulled it off before, transforming madrid to the richest club in the world ahead of ManU.
Arsenal needed to build a bigger stadium in a bid to increase their revenue and now have debts/value ratio of over 100%. ManU's huge debt were not by choice but rather the effect of the Glazers LBO.
Madrid are not in need of a new stadium, neither are they being acquired via an LBO, so I don't see the 'sensibility' in the argument.

Winning in football is not just about buying players, but buying top players is a big part of it, else why didnt chelsea win the league before the Roman era, and how come the top clubs also have some of the biggest transfer budgets and salary expenditures. The likes of newcastle are exceptions and not the  norm.

Now if you feel the quality in the arsenal squad is up to par with the other teams, you must be delusional. A simple task of naming a premiership XI should put such demons to rest. With each season Arsenal seems to have a lesser quality squad when compared to the opposition. Of course the transfer window is far from over, but unless you are eying a gem in the rough, the good picks will soon be finished.

i fink there is[b] sense[/b] in this write up!

MoneyRule:
I personally trust AW to sign atleast one more player this window but i hope he makes the right choice! I believe that what Arsenal really need is an experienced defensive midfielder,i wuld have said a defender but then he's already signed one so although we might need a striker,i think we need a defensive midfielder who would do the "dirty work" more! Now, i think AW has figured that out and might be secretly searchin 4 one but i say to AW "speed it up" i won't want a case whereby he brings in one in january and then won't be able to use the player for champions league matches!

good piece!!

in that regards. . .i suggest Lorik Cana. . .i so much like him

a new striker too wont hurt

[size=20pt]Pre-season friendly: SC Columbia 1-7 Arsenal :Bendtner, Ramsey and Van Persie all bag braces in Austria rout [/size]


http://www.arsenal.com/match-menu/171602/first-team/-v-arsenal?tab=report

Nicklas Bendtner, Robin van Persie and Aaron Ramsey scored two apiece as Arsenal kicked off their mini-European tour with a comfortable victory over SC Columbia.

Arsène Wenger’s side did suffer a minor embarrassment when a freakish goal from Patrick Lehner gave the amateurs a shock first-half lead.

That delighted a record crowd of 6,900 at the Schwarzlackenau Stadium but it merely stung Arsenal into action. Bendtner equalised within a minute and grabbed another after Ramsey had fired the visitors ahead.

Van Persie slotted home a penalty early in the second half and nodded in Bacary Sagna’s cross to make it five. William Gallas got in on the act before the end and Ramsey fired in late on to round off another useful workout.

Wenger’s men will slowly crank up the intensity as they put the building blocks in place for the new campaign. Their next stop is just across the border in Hungary for Monday’s friendly at Szombathelyi.

The build-up to this game was dominated by the news that Samir Nasri will be out for up to three months after fracturing his right fibula in training. It is a substantial blow to Arsenal even if the return of Tomas Rosicky will compensate for his loss.

The Czech was rested for this game after making his long-awaited comeback at Barnet on Saturday but we did get a first glimpse of Emmanuel Eboue, Denilson, Abou Diaby, Ramsey and Bendtner this summer. They made the starting line-up while Kolo Toure, Bacary Sagna, Van Persie and Alex Song were named on the bench. Armand Traore and Philippe Senderos, back from season-long loan spells, were also among the substitutes.

The biggest name on the SC Columbia teamsheet was their 44-year-old free-kick specialist Julius Simon - although he would not get a chance to show off his party trick on this occasion. The Slovakia international scored 10 times last season as his team finished halfway up the Austrian Fourth Division.

The amateurs from Floridsdorf weren’t expected to trouble their illustrious visitors but that didn’t stop the locals packing out the Schwarzlackenau Stadium – with the help of a small but boisterous Arsenal contingent. Beer and music were in plentiful supply as a festival atmosphere kicked in well before kick-off.

As expected the game was played almost exclusively in the Austrians’ half but Arsenal’s radar was off in the first half-hour or so.

Andrey Arshavin slotted wide after two minutes, Bendtner followed suit shortly afterwards, Ramsey also missed the target from just outside the box and Thomas Vermaelen squandered a decent chance for his first Arsenal goal, lashing a shot wide after Ramsey’s clever chip had fallen for him eight yards out.

Meanwhile, Gerhard Taschwer earned his corn in the Columbia goal. The keeper pushed away Diaby’s fierce shot at his near post and denied the Frenchman again when he tried his luck from long range.

Despite the pedestrian pace of what was essentially a training exercise, it seemed a matter of time before Arsenal broke the deadlock. Then Columbia raised the biggest cheer of the evening with a goal completely against the run of play.

It was a farcical one from Arsenal’s perspective. Mikael Silvestre played the ball back to Almunia but the Spaniard’s first touch was slightly heavy. As Lehner slid in, Almunia’s attempted clearance ricocheted off the striker and into the net.

Suitably embarrassed, Arsenal were stung into action. Within a minute they were level as Diaby charged down the right channel and squared the ball for Bendtner to tap into the roof of the net.

The scoreline soon had a more predictable look to it. Within three minutes of the Dane’s equaliser, Ramsey evaded a challenge on the edge of the Columbia box and slammed a shot into the bottom corner.

Four minutes later, Bendtner doubled his own tally. Running from deep, the striker flicked the ball to Ramsey and then collected the return pass inside the box before jinking past Taschwer and rolling the ball into the net.

It was a sign that Arsenal could pick up the pace at will.

Wenger made eight changes at the break with Senderos deployed in a defensive midfield role – quite possibly a first for the Swiss. And two of those substitutes linked up for Arsenal’s fourth goal as Traore’s cross was handled and Van Persie fired home from the spot.

The Dutchman so nearly set up a fifth for Denilson on the hour mark but, once again, Taschwer did well, rushing out to block the Brazilian’s low shot.

Wilshere and Ramsey returned to the fray with 20 minutes to go as Arshavin and Eboue were given a breather. Regardless of their personnel, Arsenal kept the scoreboard ticking over.

First Van Persie buried a header from Sagna’s right-wing cross and Gallas did likewise with 14 minutes remaining. Then Ramsey rounded things off with a fizzing shot which flew in off the post

Nasiru omo iya basira will surely bounce back

if Hleb is free / cheap . . .it wont hurt if we have him back oo

abi ooo. . .

speedy Recovery Samir. . .

I long said it that this Diaby should leave us alone in peace!!!! + slivestre
