Arsenal WTF
WTF is going on at Arsenal. Seeming as they dont seem to want to strengthen there squad, that french prat Gallas is upsetting other players to the point that, now Toure has handed in a transfer request. They look very very lightweight to me and punching above there weight. Worrying and strange goings on me thinks.

punching above our weight?? 
I needed a laugh. so we beat chelsea manu and draw against liverpool with 10 men. things must be bad.
5th place, playing without a doubt the worse football ive seen them play for 4 seasons. still up there.
Toure handed in(got rejected) a request because he isnt getting a game since his injury. give it time.
Wenger is superb in the market but granted he needs to spend money for a change. Arseshavin
is going to come i'm sure as a replacement for Fabregas injury.
still have Rosicky,walcott, Eduardo to come back.
we need a woodgate,rio,Ramos player to come in and someone like Gatusso(we had Flamini)
**** me, we have had a bad 20 games but its not like we are losing and down in the bottom half. things will change

we need 2 or 3 midfeilders i think, yaya toure and niko kranjcar would be good signings but i can't see us signing either of them. its the same at manchester city really with their CBs Richards and Dunne were one of the best partnerships last year, this year they seem ordinary

No he would not. Agreed he is very defensive and very strong, but and it's a big but, he is slow and can easily be turned. I have watched Barca a lot this season and i really think the speed of the PL would find him out. As for ****-shavin i really think the jury is out, he did himself no real favours in the euro's and dissapeared in the big games. Wenger is an absoloute genius, and we dont need a spurs type desperate signing, note Defo. But we really need a couple of settling signings. Gallas has played ok lately and gets forward and can head the ball, thank god, but he's such a fookin **** head. A couple of Manu petite signings is all we need and a Martin Keown would be the icing on the cake.

Not many positive posts in here re the Gooners in the past few seasons, a real under current of disatisfaction it must be said.
Im suprised not to have seen B2Zero on this thread, must be on his hols

18 months left I believe but once in that final year and his age becoming more of a factor the price drops further. They wanted to sell in the Summer but had their bluff called. They cant afford to do that again.

I don't care if it's 1p or 12 mil, he's not what we need. I think, seeing as toure's request has been rejected, is stick him in midfield. It's where he started life at Arsenal. He's quick, very strong and fearless,and reads the game superbly, he would be perfect for the holding role. Give Adeybayor a size 10 up the jacksey, he's so fookin frustrating and his touch is shocking for an Arsenal player. We need a spine and i really think that Toure should be the core of it and for gods pity, please not Upson, go for Richards at man city or the guy who looks like a Klingon at Everton, and someone out wide who can do a Pires job. Pires scored 20+ goals a season and another player never replaced, oh actually he was replaced by steptoe, who fooked off to Barca.On the bright side, the snows thawed down our end.

Havent seen Yaya in the league so going off his CL showings, where he has been faultless.
Arshavin is "being" signed to try and get some creativity.no Walcott,Fabregas,Rosicky for next few months and with Eduardo not playing for a best part of a year we are lacking creativity, something that has never been an issue at Arsenal of late.
If you look at the team sheets its a misserably view, lots of defensive players recently instead of flair.
Of course there is negative feelings at the moment. I support Arsenal and with the players/stadium/money we have i expect something to show for it.
We have 2 shareholders that are in the top 10 in richest people in prem league and with the stadium being paid for by the end of the year we should become one of the richest clubs in the world.
Would just be nice to turn on SSN and see across the bottom "Breaking news, Arsenal sign Richards/Kaka/Ramos for £25million. would mean a statement of intent.
Yes if we keep all the youngsters we have now we will have a very strong side in 5 years. but they will be sold off

i'm biting my lip until the transfer window closes. Arshavin is a good player but as others have said we need to replace those we have sold such another Vieira/Pires/Flamini/Gilberto to shore up the defensive part of midfield and the left flank although Nasri could be the replacement we need for Pires. Arshavin will replace Hleb going but we have enough players going forward, we need the back strengthened and I don't think Wenger will get anyone. Toure and Gallas can't play together and that is a nightmare as Toure before this season and his injuries was in my opinion our best defender by miles.I like both the Toure brothers and agree either one could shore up our midfield. The problem is the Vieira/Gilberto partnership will never be replaced to the same standard. In my view Gilberto should still be there and be captain.
.... and bite lip again.

Well we pulled it off again
today. I read an article on friday about slir alcox fergusbun, slating man city and chealski for there EXPENSIVE signings. What a joke, that **** head started it all, with his 28 mill for Veron and he was the ringleader of it all, Huge wages/ Massivley expensive signings. Still no sign of a signing for the Arsen though, i heard we were after some monster of a french centre half (oh god french again) has wenger got shares in the french youth team. I'm still waiting for Villa (good side, with history) to slip up. As it's now a fight for fourth.

After today's performance how Wenger can still reel out the same old lines of "he is happy with his lot" is beyond me. In today's game the following were not good enough for the team: Almunia, Eboue, Djourou, Clichy, Denilson and Diaby.
They were absolutely shocking and an embarrassment to Arsenal. How Wenger thinks these players are suitable replacements for the players who have left and those who are injured is a joke. Depth of squad? Not something Wenger has heard of and it shows more this season than it ever has.
Arshavin whilst a quality player is not going to answer Arsenals problems and they wont even get him unless they up their pathetic £10m offer for him. They should have been going all out to get Yaya Toure off Barcelona to shore up the midfield. Until they replace Vieira/Gilberto they are going to be screwed and I can't believe Wenger doesn't see that.

great first half, good start to 2nd but not wanting to put hull to bed was shocking and almost cost us.
No arguements B2Z, them players were shocking djourou and clichy especially.
Arshavin isnt the answer to everything but its the answer to question 1 part 1, creativity! Lack of today. RVP played well,yet quiet.
Given up on wanting big name signings now. heard we have a 12yo lined up

Christ you've let some fine players go unreplaced, imo if it were not for Wenger you'd be mid table with your current squad, another manager may have bought players but wouldn't have had them playing such stylish football, a double edged sword in some ways.
For all the talk of Chelsea and for this season, Liverpool, Arsenal were/have always been United' biggest rivals in the last 12 years.

My comments on Vieira and Gilberto were because they were the heart of the team. The old cliche of engine room couldn't have been more true for those two and since the pair of them have gone we have had no strength in midfield. Until that is rectified with Yaya Toure or someone else of equal or better quality we will continue to suffer in midfield and expose our very weak defence.
Missing Walcott, Rosicky, Fabregas and Eduardo going forward isn't helping but we don't have the depth of squad to replace them. The defence is just shocking no matter who is playing. Silvestre was one of the worst signings Wenger has made. Ferguson doesn't let good players leave to go to other Premiership teams let alone Arsenal. Gallas is terrible and he is first choice centre back and can't play with Toure our most experienced defender. The defence needs ripping out and starting again with maybe keeping Sagna and Toure and i'd have Senderos back as he is miles better along side Toure than anyone else and that was Wengers mistake with him. Too many different partnerships that didn't have the time to bond and work. Almunia is no replacement for the German **** we had in goal who has been our only half decent replacement for Seaman.
Wenger has let an amazing squad (with those players mentioned above) disintegrate and not replaced with like for like. Kids will never replace those above and that is why we haven't won a thing for four years.
