When rumours linger they become truths.

The possibility of Arsenal signing Benzema is becoming real everyday. Real Madrid are said to want £45mil and I think AW is willing to pay. Can't wait for deadline day.

The same Usmanov who has been lambasting the board and Arsene albeit snidely for years

Usmanov feels he can run the club better than Kroenke, and because he is richer and more passionate, I feel he has a point. But a 30% stake isn't enough for the Russian to make any decisions.

NB: Usmanov is wealthier than Abrahamovic.

'Arsene had a very, very difficult position when club shareholders didn't want to put their money into constructing the new stadium...
'If I had the right, I would keep Arsene until he wants because until he cannot perform his activity as a manager, it is a gift for any club to have a coach like Arsene Wenger'- Usmanov to CNN

And what if the "best you have" is not good enough?? #Logic

If you feel they aren't good enough, and you can't acquire the best, then you have no one to blame.

But then you called them average, and I say make the best out of them; meaning get them to full potential, whatever they can offer.

dopeJemi:
I beg to differ, Remy is way sharper than falcao, he made lots of those runs at man united but still couldn't finish


Remy is a beast on his day

Remy is a beast huh?

Wonder why Falcao is called El Tigre?

Unless he has lost his teeth. Hehehe

edi287:
How does that change the fact that those 3 are average strikers??

If you can't get the best, make the best of what you've got. #Logic

edi287:
Loool na them know. No serious team with title aspirations will have a frontline consisting of Giroud, Welbeck and Walcott.
Its disgraceful.

So what are you waiting for? Go and sign Messi, Ronald and Suarez for us na. Abeg!

Between Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao

From an Arsenal perspective I'd say the Falcao is the better striker. Remy was easier to deal with and apart from a cross to Ramires never really threatened Arsenal defence. Falcao made some intelligent runs and nearly caught Mertesacker if not for the speed of Koschieny, he would have been through on goal.

From this assessment I think he will score goals but needs very creative players behind; Hazard and Fabregas should do the job.

sod09:
pls Bleep up nd die
Ur questions re irrelevant to my answers
U just spew shit abt praises here nd dere....
He's one of d fucking highest paid managers in d game wit no ucl to show for
If he's interested in nuturing youth he shd demote himself as a youth coach...I can see u no good with ambition urself, his mates are fighting for league nd ucl u here shouting f.a cup
Wat shd barca, psg, nd Bayern do
No offense but I'm sure dats wat u do in ur life, ur mates running nd hustling for better places but u staying without trying hard nd expect miracle...
I'm asking u again can dis presence squad win d epl or ucl?

Who is this one talking to? Eh?

sod09:
I criticize him cos he's in charge of d team, buying nd selling also
I didn't insult d entire team.....I only picked out certain players who aren't ok wit d team.
If he's really good madrid wanted him badly some seasons ago, but he new he was going to be sack d moment he fail, dat freedom arsenal gave him is too much
How can he say he doesn't need a striker nd wen season start he complain of other teams spending, injury, fixture list etc...
Didnt he consider all dat b4

Did you praise him when he won the FA cup? He has done it back to back yet you still see no good in him.

Well your opinion does not matter. He doesn't even know you. You are not qualified to even greet him so just shut up ok.

sod09:
u fucking confuse.....arsene isn't arsenal u shd get dat
I'm tired of arguing wit u, pls let's wait till mid of season....
I av known ur moniker already

Arsene isn't Arsenal, hahahahaa. Poor reasoning, very very poor.

It's like saying, egusi in soup does not mean egusi soup. Chai I don suffer.

sod09:
of course y won't I celebrate
I always want d best for d club not one clueless outdated man deciding nd blaming other clubs for there misfortune
Na dem send am not to buy players

So the clueless outdated man still makes you celebrate. How ironically sarcastic.

Man Utd has spent over £300million since last year, and they still have a shiiit team.

Wenger is a shrewd manager, everyone knows, but he is also a great manager. He believes football should be competitive, but how can you compete with someone who has a sugar daddy. Nevertheless, he still kept us flowing. Now that we are there, we can only hope for a better future.

Mou spoke of his envy for Wenger's longevity, Wenger can last long because he is a builder. Mou is a hit and run, he wins the trophies but leaves his former clubs in a financial mess.

Now that Chelsea has stadium plans, he is being forced to go the way of Arsene, which suggests his whining about clubs trying to buy titles like he did.

Time will tell, and people will see the value of Arsene, when Mou has to win by building. A specialist in failure in the making.

pickabeau1:
Don't see the relevance of this question but I will humour you

Yes to all your questions ..

ON the closing gap.. I will be more circumspect to make that judgement call
However what makes me happy is the mental block which has been removed

Remember the win over City in the shield was the platform for the 3 nil win later in the year
First win at Eastlands since 2008 or so..

Great thinking, I like that.

Spy360:
@Pickabeau, @sod09, now let me ask you. How do you feel when you watch Arsenal? Do you get excited? Do you celebrate when they score-win? #JustBeingCurious

Because you are on record to be the most stupid fans on nairaland. #Congrats

Why r u wailing... How can u say they are better as a team

pickabeau1:

They are more expensive.

Chelsea has the most expensively built team in the league, and because they are champions, they are better.

But the gap is closing,...

... the bridge is crumbling and soon the GUNNERS will invade. They will shoot, they will bomb, they will destroy, they will conquer, they will rule. #COYG

AirborneLacer:
Chelsea losing to Arsenal under JM Is a rarity, but then, just like I opined days ago, that can be made possible only if Wenger can take to a new ''approach''.

One would think parking the bus wouldn't feature in Mr Wenger's list of ''considerable approaches''. but just as we saw on Sunday, it turned out that the park the bus tactic which the frenchman abhors sat atop his options. How hypocritical.

The long and short of it is that we were served a portion of our own medicine by the chaps from N5. Arsenal having many men behind the ball and right in their box for the most period of the game, effectively took away any invention we had to offer on the final third.

Hazard was entirely anonymous and Remy resembled a sleepless, hungover Sunday league striker. The latter's inability to stray offside is a major concern and could be the reason he's best suited to a backup striker role.

We had our chances though. Hazard and Ramires both came close to scoring but had their chances fluffed.

For what it is worth, Sunday's defeat was only a reality check for us. I hope Jose sees the need to bring on board more options.

Brilliant thoughts, but... Your opinion of 'parking the bus' stemed from Mou's assessment. It's a normal thing for one to defend after taking the lead and wait to counter.

Parking the bus is defending with ten men at 0-0 and that is Mou's philosophy. The only time we parked the bus was at Etihad.

An Honest Assessment

As a club we are bigger than Chelsea, but as a team they are still better.

This is as a result of their mind blowing spendings over the years while we have taken the path of building gradually.

That patience has really paid off for those who can see as our boys have matured over the years- Gibbs, Ox, Theo, Ramsey, Wilshere, Coquelin, Bellerin; together with shrewd additions such as Koschieny, Per, Monreal, Cazorla, Welbeck, and Giroud; with some spicy Ozil and Sanchez. Arsenal as many would not realise has one of the least expensive squad in the EPL, and that, thanks to Wenger.

Our recent victory speaks volumes; knowing that the difference between the side last season was a Cech, the likes of Jose, Manuel and Louis would realise that a huge gap has been broken, and that these guys are now ready to be champions.

Money Can Buy You Trophies But It Can't Buy You Class.

And when the cocks come to roost, it's the class that matters more.

alekside:
In Adama Traoré, we are getting another Attacking Midfielder/Winger adding to the ones we already have, guess Markovic would be loaned out.

BR is really killing the club with all these buy buy, how many strikers do we have now? What if no buyer comes before end of transfer- money down the drain.

Why not put these money together and give us 3 or 4 world class quality signings than all these hogwashes...

#Klopp4Kops

Winning the FA CS has not made us better than Chelsea, that will only be when we win the league. We are bigger not better, at least for now.

NB: For quoters, cussing will only reveal the height of your foolishness. #BeObjective.

edoyad:
Goodness me , please tone it down. This type of talk is what dayo bookmarks and uses as fodder in March. As good as the team loooks right now, we're two injuries away from 4th place. I still think we need quality upfront.

I mean if we have no injuries and Hazard, Costa, Willian, Aguero, Silva, Rooney, and Mata all have long term injuries, we would win the league.

bigkesh:
Is this banter?? This is all u guys av got? Honestly m dissapointed........
No one does it better than my Chelsea brothers.......

bros no vex, we had a party all night yesterday, we just dey wake up.

We beat you without our best player, but you had your so called 'ikedia' abi 'ukwudiya' Hazard Nwachukwu.

Now that Arsene has shown he is some class above Moaninghoe, give us some respect.

sod09:
no I praise nd criticize wen due
I ain't afraid of any body......I still maintain we ain't gonna win d epl or ucl with giroud or welbeck...
We need striker

Still delusional?
We have just beaten Chelsea the current EPL champions, enjoy the victory and support the lads rather than criticise blindly. We did it without our best player, but they had the best player in the league.

Bar injuries, this team WILL WIN THE TITLE.

Bye.

Yayyyyyy!

You guys are pushing us away with ur prices na. If I may ask, what does dis got to do with wife or girlfrnd, is it that you can't get ur mind off gurls? Get ur mind right, we are talking satellite TV bro.

We can only develop our fta if we encourage our fabricators. Development comes from producing as much as possible what we consume.

By depending solely on foreign fabricators we become their perpetual slaves; which explains why we are crying for bigger dishes whereas they are reducing theirs.

Please encourage our own fabricators. Thanks.

If you will recall, I had stated that with the quality and strength of both teams at par, victory for any side will therefore depend on the tactical ingenuity of the managers, and that Wenger can no longer give any excuse.

Well look who is moaning...

It's Moaninghoe. Hahahahaaa!
