He’ll spend if need be he says!
Does he think we don’t need players and that he now has his best ever squad yet again?
Are we in for yet more of the same comments from the last few years?
‘We’re a young team getting better’ …….
Maybe we will see an improvement from some players but how can we be better, more competitive and not fall apart like years gone by when he won’t buy the defenders that in May he said we needed and many of us know we need ? He said we need more physical players as we’re quite a small team so what about addressing those problems and weaknesses.
Lies… spin or has he simply lost his edge or does he truly believe these things he says…?
I believe we are perfectly good enough, what we did last year, considering the age of the squad and the problems we had with injuries, was a credit to the team and we have a good opportunity now to show that we have the quality.
If you are a winner, you say: ‘We were very close last year, let’s do it this year.’ You come back.
I believe that the real destiny of this team is now there. They know as well as I know that we were very, very close last season. We intend to show everybody that we can do it. We are a young team and we can only be better. It demands the strength of character that the champions have. That’s what we want to show.
See my problem with that is if we had an entire squad who were winners, they would have won something last season, even the season before as the squad have been together for a few years now. In fact I’m sure we would have won two things last season, the Carling Cup and the Premier League….
Like I said yesterday:
I think we have the base of a bloody good team, get rid of the hangers-on, buy 2/3 with winning mentality and we’d never crumble like we did in the last stage of last season again…
We need a real leader, an organiser at the back and someone to drum home what it means to play for Arsenal…..
Come on Arsene, you have a fantastic picnic, you just lack a couple of sandwiches to make it perfect……
Go on, go and shut people like me up and get the two or three players that we all know will give us a real chance of winning something again….
Winning isn’t the be all and end all but showing up for the whole season is and players who show passion and committment is what the fans want to see and we’re still lacking that in certain areas. The price of this kind of player will not measure their passion, in fact I’m sure a player from the Championship or below would have more passion and committment for the game than half of the over paid pre-madonnas in the Premier League.
No one wants our club to spend money we haven’t got just what we do have, spend wisely and not on an old has been like Squilli or a kid who may be good in five years time.
You have the opportunity to put it right, Don’t let us down…………
The Sun break their football news today with a story suggesting we have tabled a bid for Romelu Lukaku, according to the paper, his agent met with officials from Arsenal yesterday. Not sure who he would have met up with as both Wenger and Gazidis are in China. Who knows if there is any truth in this, I guess we’ll all find out soon enough, is he any good in central defence? 😉
As for Denilson lets just hope the rumours are true that he off back to Brazil on loan, anywhere but near our squad is fine with me. A rumour about one desperate to join us, Alan Pardew has said that his left back, Jose Enrique wants to join us and play Champions League Football. I kind of get the impression that Pardew wouldn’t stop him either if we offer the right price.
And finally, Mancini has been talking again – he says he hopes to have signed Samir Nasri by the end of this month…..
The boys are back in action later today, ESPN are covering the game and you can also watch on the Arsenal Player, which I think is free viewing.
Have a good day all…….
