Before Wenger Arsenal won their last European trophy 10 years with Wenger No continental trophy is in the Horizon In fact Wenger has never won any continental trophy of any colour in his whole career Name another top European coach who has never won an European trophy before. He is just like David Moyes and Allardyce

[quote][/quote]Tread softly my dear friend. Tread softly. I know you are mad with wenger. I am too. we all are but ARSENE KNOWS.

he has won four  FA cups out of a a total ten arsenal has ever won. he has won the league three times out of a total 13 arsenal has won. we were unfortunate to loose to galatasary in the uefa cup final and barcelona in the champions league final. Wenger brought entertaining football to the arsenal team. Even though there has been a droguht of trophies, i enjoy watching the team play and i will continue to support arsenal whatever be the case.

SOmetimes, i feel some nairalanders will make better managers or are actually better than arsene wenger. Last season was a major improvement like debosky said considering we lost to boro away and i think at home too, drew with wigan, drew with birghminham, drew with aston villa and many more. Coupled with injuries to rosicky,RVP and eduardo. It was a major improvement.

Wenger will get it right,sooner or later. I am praying sooner

Arsene Wenger. Ranked above managers who have won more and with very good reason. A champion of style and sporting beauty and, most remarkably, a football man you can take at his word. There is not a single club that has not coveted him in the last ten years.

IN ARSENE WE TRUST

okay. so who conducted the interview? there are over 1000 weblinks on this story but who conducted the actual interview where and when? what else did they discuss? did wenger just say his that and left?I cannot take that statement seriously because these same websites have published stuff about arsenal and the ronaldo saga that turned out to be false. if this selling club saga was on www.arsenal.com or it was on a press conference aired on television, then that will be a different case.

it is is just like when there was news of adebayor saying he will play like henry only wehn he is paid like henry. It is the internet. all that is required is for one fake guy to start it up and the whole story picks up.

i hope you all remember the rodrigo palacio rumour last summer after henry left?it was all over the internet, even the few credible ones.

if it not on www.arsenal.com and it is not on tv, then it is probably bullocks.

Hannibal:
Are u shitting me??


These are the words of your GAFFER:
'The strategy of the club is to sell every year and to buy less expensive players,'

'We manage at Arsenal to maintain all our football ambitions - national and European - while having to free up - for 17 more years - an annual surplus of £24million to pay for our stadium.

'The club's strategy is to favour the policy of youngsters ahead of stars and to count on the collective quality of our game.

can you provide the source of this statement and dont give us a goal.com or any of those rubbish website links. if it is not on www.arsenal.com or it was not in an interview aired on tv and you actually heard wenger said that not them say, then it is probably more cheap publicity.www.goal.com and those other sites are just losers.

i have a feeling that diaby will step up next season. at least now he can play in the central position vacated by flamini instead of the wings he has been used for. afterall, i never expected flamini to play so good last season and i never expected adebayor to score 30 goals. who knows eboue might be the new revelation next season. ;Dmy problem is with the defence, there is absolutely ZERO depth in the defence after gallas,clichy,sagna and toure. there is nobody else. so when gallas starts crying,toure is fatigued, sagna is injured and we have to face a club like real madrid inn the champions league semi final, what do we do? provide senderros, hoyte and song

I have just two questions:

Are we not buying a centre back?
Who is suppose to replace Flamini?

£30 milion for Ade is good money. i think that is what chelsea also paid for shevchenko.

Gunners' Greatest Players - 13. Kanu

even if he cannot buy a centre back he should keep Hleb at arsenal and buy a defensive midfielder. Diaby and Denilson are carling cup material and Gilberto seems to be on and off which is kind of wierd because he is a good player. We just have to pray that kolo toure does not get injured,fatigued or suspended for crucial matches and pray yet again that captain william gallas does not cry like a baby again next season.

on a good note, eduardo is now walking .Hopefully, by december he will be playing football for arsenal.

UNILAG. IN TERMS of book,chicks and paroles.

fabregas has at least won one FA CUP and now he is an EURO championship winner. Fabregas has been very consistent over the years and he does his part by giving good assists and he is actually 21 years old. Cesc also did not hold arsenal to randsome even when barcelona chiefs came to london last season.He even fired his agent.Cesc is great.

Adebayor has never won anything in his life as a footballer, has had only one good season since he joined arsenal and is definitely not 24 years old.Adebayor desrves an increase from 30k . No doubt, But anything over 60k per week for Adebayor is ludacris. Absolutely Ludacris.

IF he refuses the 60k per week deal, arsene should get rid of him for at least £20m afterall he cost just £3m. Then let us see if he will be able to score 30 goals in the spanish league or italian league.Adebayor reminds me of Nicholas Anelka and Jose antonio reyes rolled up into one.

I could not care less if Adebayor scores 50 goals every season. The point is will his 50 goals win any trophy? t is easy to score double hat tricks against the weaker oppositions or teams and freeze up when it really matters against the more decent teams.

If he could replace henry to an extent, Arsenal will have no problem replacing him.If he had scored 25 goals last season in the more crucial matches , we might have ended up differently but he was busy scoring 6 goals against derby and missing siitters against the big teams.

If wenger can guarantee samuel eto or some other guy that is moredeserving of 90k per week then so be it.ADEBAYOR HAs not won anything for arsenal or anything at all in his entire career so who the hell is he? and we all know he is not even 24.

Bring on samuel eto and let adebayor go. if not, let him stay for 60k per week.

wenger is playing with fire not buying a centraal defender o, when gallas gets injured or toure is suspended then senderros becomes a liability,

He without sin cast the first stone. Is not bringing a bible to assembly a sin? and even if it is a sin, is it right for a christian institution like covenant to expel them or give them delverance or something?

I am no judge but i dont think JESUS would have expelled them. He probably would have prayed for them.

Adebayor: I'll Play Like Henry When I'm Paid Like Henry

http://www.goal.com/en-india/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=755659

If it is true that Adebayor said that, there is no going back. he should leave. What has he won for Arsenal? He is supposed to think about the team not about his 30 goals. If arsenal can get a samuel eto or another striker, Ade should just go go go.fabregas , kolo toure, clichy and sagna should even be paid more than adebayor i reckon.

On a brighter note, i am happy for cesc fabregas,at least if he cannot win trophies with arsenal where better else to win a trophy and now he has made history. what an amzing guy. I am happy for torres too. That is a real striker

I think Khalid Boulahrouz is to chelsea what walter samuel was to real madrid . But today walter is as good for inter as he was as good for roma before he joined real madrid. Chelsea should sell khalid and buy maybe a micah richards who has the premier league experience.

Even Alex by his standards in PSV had a less than average season in chelsea. he was a wall in PSV. Yet again Tal ben Haim was good for bolton but in chelsea he became, 

Maybe the old saying that chelsea does a good job in wrecking the careers of good players is true after all or maybe it is that the players don't leave up to expectation after money block their heads.

Ade says he wants to Stay. I hope it is true and it ends all these speculations but i dont trust him. Till September 1 before i believe him because that is what Henry said last year,

Thanks HNIC, i meant derby county.

GOALS ARE NOT ALL ABOUT NUMBERS. GOALS ARE ALSO ABOUT TIMING AND RELEVANCE And if Adebayor scores ten goals against Hull or another newly promoted team next season and refuses to turn up in big games what do we do


Remember his two goals in the champions league agaist ac milan and liverpool, Both goals were made possible only by the pace and skill of theo walcott.
Adebayor needs Arsenal just as much as Arsenal needs him. If he is not careful he will end up like nicolas anelka.

Cesc has warned him to choose wisely. How mature.

Fame, Money,Girls,MTV award . At least they are not impregnating 5 different girls like some other stars do.

FILE!!!

Ade is good and he scored 30 goals and all that but his finishing at times can be quite disastrous. He had just one good season but should we start counting the over 60 clear chances he missed? From the match against birghiminham(where eduardo broke his leg) to the Liverpool match to the Manchester united match before he scored that day?

Ade needs to turn up more in the big games. yes he scored 30 goals but one fifth of that 30 came against sunderland alone. He has amazing workrate and technique but his finishing at times can be quite devestating. I hope u all remember the dry spell he had in february and march?


Ade is good and will be missed but if wenger can guarantee Arshavin and Santa cruz, i dont mind him leaving for good money.

As for hleb if he goes to barcelona and arsene does not get yaya toure,it wont be funny o.

I still hope and pray Hleb and Adebayor dont leave. But if Hleb leaves, he will be missed greatly . If Adebayor leaves he will be remembered for his amazing work rate ,scoring 30 goals last season and Missing 60 clear-cut chances to score.

Wenger still is not talking about a defender. I think he has a vision that Kolo toure and william gallas will not be injured nor suspended all season long

\i guess ronaldo has finally bit the hands that fed him. \even if man u refuses to sell and he stays , it can never be the same again.

If portugal looses today it will be a good thing. We will finally know what ronaldo is up to

That is why we need a strong centre back so that if clichy is injured wenger can push cry baby gallas to left back especially in big games and the centre back can replace him. After all he pushed kolo toure to right back when sagna was injured against liverpool and played stupid and calamity senderros as centre back.

I hope wenger buys Per Mertesacker of Germany. The guy is sheer quality and not too old. He can even give werder bremen senderros as a bonus and let arsenal continue to pay his wages.

i think Per Mertesacker of Germany is decent enough for Arsenal and what is senderros still doing at Arsenal

If hleb goes i hope wenger gets yaya toure as part of the deal.

I sometimes wonder whether girls will rather date the poor banker who works 8 am to 5 pm and does not have a car even though he is hardworking and the job does not pay much or whether they will prefer dating a yahoo yahoo boy or a 419er who has a nice car with factory fitted AC and all that?

I think itis the later because at the end of the day SOME girls [color=#990000][/color]could not care less if the guy will own a car in the near future or if the yahoo boy gets busted. Their motto is Chop as much as possible

if ronaldo is sold for 75 million, what is the possibility of the glazers releasing all that money for transfer funds considering man u's debt in their name?

if aguero comes he will be on the bench or is he a winger cos i reckon first choice is tevez & rooney. Why should messi leave barcelona? And even if messi is going to leave barcelona his transfer value will be over-priced.

Ramos, cassillas and robinho? Big Joke. Real madrid can afford to play them in the castilla but can Man u afford to play ronaldo in the reserves? Not just making mouth but can they do it if ronaldo decides he wants to go to real madrid?

Real madrid generated a lot of revenue when they signed beckham and they will generate more revenue at least through selling shirts IF they sign ronaldo which is why money is no problem. It is an investment.

if ronaldo leaves it could be good but it may have an effect on the team and not every superstar replacement signing makes an immediate impact.
Man u spent over 25 million pounds on juan sebestian veron!!!.

If ronaldo leaves i think man u should sign Ronaldinho!!!

Ini Obong Edo is the Winner.
As hot as she is, i dont see why she has a problem tying down any of these super eagles players.

Ini Edo and Obafemi Martins will be a wonderful combination

tkb417:
just read we are about doing a double bid for Ramos and Robinho.
where did SAF drop his thinking cap all the while?
if they feel they can go for any player, then der are two ways to deal with them
1) sell the player for 75million GBP
2) ask for Ramos, Robinho and Cassilas to be included in the deal for Ronaldo.
im sure they will back off.

any of the options will be good. get 75million and bid for Messi and Aguero or sell and take ramos and co.
chikena

Do you think this is SEGA football Manager 2008?

i also feel that we need a striker but:
Adebayor
Eduardo
RVP
Bendtner
Carlos Vela
Theo Walcott(some times)

Some one has to go if David villa or any other big striker is coming to the emirates . But who? or can we afford to have 6-7 strikers

As for a centre back , i think Per Mertesacker of Germany is pretty decent and i dont think Armand Traore is ready unless wenger wants to shift gallas to left back when necessary and sagna can also play left back i think.

hleb out yaya toure + cash in;Hopefully though my first choice is for hleb to stay
I hope samir Nasri comes in
hopefully gilberto stays.
eboue back to right back behind sagna ofcourse  and walcott should be right winger not striker-he is too feeble
i dont think arsene will buy a striker because of carlos vela and bendtner, then RVP, eduardo and adebayor. If walcott is a striker then that will be six.

ARSENAL NEEDS A CENTRE BACK O.Everyone is talking about david villa now ,when gallas or toure gets injured or suspended, and they put song,gilberto,senderros or djorouh as centre back it wont be funny o.

A big centre back that does not mind warming the bench is needed urgently.

Will love to see aaron ramsey play in pre-season.

Get well soon eduardo.

Most definitely Undergrads for me. Working class ladies are too inclined towards marriage but yet again maybe because i am 23 and far from ready to be married or even the thought of it . But undergrads does the trick.
