Just 18 and 8 months old.

If TV5 is out for 2 months,that means we are not yet done in the transfer market in the Defensive area.

TV5+JW19=2 months off!
Possible replacements:
TV5=LK5.
JW19=Ramsey.

I'm back B1tch3s

Y'all better take cover cos I'm back with vengeance

On a good note, I think Oxlade Chamberlain would be a much better winger than Walcott can ever hope to be

I saw the U21 game vs Israel today and he really played well, He came in as a second half sub and had a hand in all 4 goals.

I would say I am impressed even though the opposition was Israel

Another observation, Henri Lansbbury and Jack Rodwell are rubbish,

ok, so who will stand up to be counted in the midfield this season? cos imma thinking that Jack wont be useful till december at least. pimpong (c)  dont look like he has any finesse in his boots. im a big fan, mind. i think we need that type of player now, built like a brick shytehouse, battering ram, no frills, thunder & blood type that it

the new oldies cannot be trusted to last 4 months fit, esp now that they are at arsenal (can someone tell wenger to go sacrifice to ye gods that he offended ) so. . . . . .

way i see it, i think we need to shift our play pattern back out to the wings like the scummies, that way we dont need a midfield maradona that much.
problem is you need folks with very high productivity down both flanks and u need 4 of them 2 subs who are effective like the first choices.



leaves a dilemma, for me arshavin is not part of the team anymore, and he seems to have lost his productive touch too.

walcott. . .  sigh, thank God he at least knows where the goal is these days, but you really have to be a gambler to splunk the rent on that boy bringing the A game to the table. plus the guile and intelligence needed (contrast his play with arshavin of blessed memory or now gervinho and u see wat i mean). he is ok i guess, but it does not take much to take him on for decent teams. meaning when its tight, he aint the go-to guy.

Miyachi, Oxencart, unknown quantities. also for me too young to get beyond 4-5 decent games a whole season.


gervinho, large hopes, large faith. hope he #staysonhisfeet.      have been praying this guy gets his final ball issue sorted soon, but gaddemitmahn, he is something good down those channels. question to be answered is can he shoulder an entire teams aspirations? we need a marquee player now as we always have.


so the thing is: do we continue midfield play or do we vary it. i say we try to change, hell everyone seems to have us sussed out these days maybe the change of personnel will be the excuse to tweak the play pattern.
we don't run games like we used to no more



#ALMUNIA IS STILL AT ARSENAL (i feel sick whenever i remember this.) is vito manonne around now? cos if the regular freakish run starts and almunia gets near the emirates pitch again, im gonna shoot him myself

proudly9ja:
Just a few months after the Barca management declared Cesc's value has gone down, the VP has come out to accept that Cesc is actually worth the 52M we placed on him at the beginning.

No be their fault.


I see things have not improved on the injury front. Sad to see Jack off till October. We'l have to make do with Benayoun, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Coquelin and Frimpong. Wow!

I pray we go through the international break without any set back. It will be nice to see what our team will look like against Swansea.

Meanwhile @dudu
I hope you've noticed that we've sold off Sunu to Lorient? Its sad that strikers and defenders from our youth team aren't considered good enough for our first team. I hope Afobe makes it though, same with the guy from Gillingham - Freeman. Rhys murphy is another potential IMO but he's not had it good on the injury front and he is now at an age where he needs to play for the first team.

^^ Does anyone still take debosky serious on this forum?

By their fruits you shall know them. If you look at fruits like toba1909, folahann, lari03, slimshady, edoyad, dipo and the gazzilion of muppet produced on this thread

You should know that Deboskyism is more dangerous than Global warming or recession

coogar:
you should be ashamed!!!
it was you that had to swallow all your vomit last season when your [i]e[/i]rections went gaga for arsenal. my prediction as to where arsenal would finish came to pass. don't ever put your snout in a discussion about european football cos you don't have the nous to engage me in one.
if you think wilshere is the best, good luck to you and your sheer idiocy. . . . .just don't quote me in particular and say i am wrong/i dunno what i am talking about. it will only expose your lunacy and low level of intelligence.

go n read the links i posted on ibime's reply.
even the british pundits know eriksen is better than wilshere.

coogar:
you shall be blessed. . . . . .i was beginning to think i am on ma own with the list i supplied. i felt like i was posting in a forum where the language ain't english.

ibime is a goat.
what does he know? he's a slave to british hype machine.
he only follows what he hears on match-of-the-day. i cannot believe someone who pays premium to watch espn on sky will utter than wilshere is better than eriksen.  ibime doesn't even know lewis holtby. what a disgrace of an ijaw fishmonger!!!!

coogar:
hehehehe. . . . . .i heard the same poo about walcott.
six years into walcott's career at arsenal and he's still shyte.

i won't argue with a dork like you. . . . . .your footie knowledge is restricted to what you read on nairaland and bbc website.
but as an assignment, google those names and do a research on them. . . . . .
better still, watch the last friendly between denmark and england and watch how christian eriksen reduced wilshere in the eyes of the world.
when the british media were going gaga over wilshere playing in barcelona, guardiola told them to hush that he has got hundreds of players in his academy better than wilshere. . . . . then he promoted thiago and thiago is miles better than cesc(a player who wilshere sees as his god).

arsenal fans should expand their horizon in the football world. y'all are too limited.

coogar:
wilshere is not as talented as goetze.
in fact, in their generation, wilshere is down down the table.

mario goetze
thiago alcantara

i am willing to bet on that with anyone on this forum. united will win the league over and over again this season.
debarring fergie kicking the bucket, united will finish at least 6 points ahead of the runner-up. people underestimate the squad fergie has assembled.
united have 2 different teams capable of finishing as champions in the league.

de gea/lindegaard/kusczack

rafael/fabio/smalling
rio/smalling/evans
vidic/evans/jones
evra/fabio/evans

nani/valencia/js park
fletcher/cleverley/carrick/pogba
anderson/giggs/gibson/morrison
young/js park/giggs

rooney/welbeck/diouf
berbatov/chicharito/owen

beating arsenal 8-2 won't be the only humiliation lined up this season for united's rivals.
more humiliations would be dished out. others should have capitalized when united were burdened with the debt. now, the net debt keeps reducing and it's freeing funds for fergie to assemble a super squad. the league's golden boot winner last season hasn't really featured and 80% of the starters of last season's european final have been warming the bench.

it's united's title. others should take their domestic cup campaign seriously.

@4ller
Certain signings are made for certain reasons, nationality being an important one. You can't make a call on OX for now considering the way Theo has come back to haunt some of us. Having an English core is important and a call has to be made in getting OX now at that price or getting him for much more and getting trumped by Manure when it becomes an highest bidder issue after he becomes better known as we did with both Smalling and Jones. If Theo made it with us then I can assure you that boy will be worth 25m pretty soon. How much do you think Theo would go for if we ever made him available for transfer?  
It is also not true that our players earn oversized salaries, the wage bill differential between us and the top 3 is there for a reason and I pointed out that the difference in wage bill between us and Manure would comfortably pay the wages of 4 players earning the same as our highest earner in Arshavin. In the last year I think we were also overtaken by Liverpool.


I'll burst a few bubbles with the predictions thingie, I personally still wouldn't stick my neck out for a trophy this season, next season maybe when I see how these boys come along (Miyaichi, OX, Jekinson et al) they are the new generation and most of these buys like Arteta, Benayoun and Santos are still stop gaps in my opinion Mertesacker aside who I always believed we would buy, the big failures in Arsenal as we all saw last season IMO were people like Arshavin and Rosicky and they are the ones being supplanted as Arsene will still find a way to play those youngsters. If Nasri and Cesc hadnt left, we would never have bought Arteta and Benayoun.

On the whole, I doubt that we've improved over last season and the competition has not been static, I am certain we will make top 4 as usual as that is a given and I wouldn't expect us to collapse if we come as close as we did last season. Right now for Arsenal top 4 is the primary target and anything more is a bonus, that is the reality of things and we are still banking on youth because our squad depth is still largely filled with youth hopefully on the edge of greatness, I will find time to make an analysis of an age breakdown of the squad pretty soon.

The critical players that will determine Arsenal's season are RVP, Gervinho, Arteta, Wilshere, Szczesny and TV5. If 5 of those are able to give us at least 35+ games each, I'll be very optimistic indeed particularly if another Wilshere emerges this season.
