How many of us have commented that Andre Santos could do with shedding a couple of pounds?
Many is the answer, our Brazilian winger left back is pretty dynamic going forward, doesn’t hesitate in having a shot on goal and he whips in a tidy cross too, but when it’s comes to getting his body back to defend, he often looks a big sluggish.
Well, it seems that the man who has been showing him the way since his arrival is fellow summer signing Mikel Arteta:
I get on well with every single one of the players, I treat and respect everyone equally and vice versa, Mikel Arteta is Spanish and our languages are quite similar so he is helping me the most.
This link with the club is very important, us players always go out for dinner and social events together.
See, that’s where it’s all going wrong, Arteta is taking Santos to all the wrong food places, he needs salad bars, not Subway baguettes. 😉
The Daily Mail is at it again, this time Alex Song is off to Inter Milan as we step up interest in Yann M’Vila, in other papers it’s Hernanes!
We know it changes on a daily basis and the transfer window isn’t even open yet.
How do they actually know that? Is Arsene Wenger calling them each morning and letting them in on his movements?
No of course not, it’s all bollox and spin from a paper which likes to stir trouble in the Arsenal camp. Alex Song is under contract until 2014, there is plenty of time for him to sort out a contract extension, IF that is what both he and Arsenal think is best for both parties.
Do they have info that Arsenal are indeed prepared to listen to offers for Song as he has already indicated he will not sign a new contract? As usual the media twist and turn every story to sell papers and to create a headline and all in the name of investigative journalism yet it seems most of these stories are always about Arsenal players, why is that, do they hate us that must or are we such a big club that we sell loads of papers?.
We all know that players contracts are running down, Theo and Robins come to an end in the summer of 2013, and Song, Gibbs, Chamakh and Rosicky all see theirs expire the year after.
We have seen Na$ri sold as he entered the last year of his contract, Fabregas ‘forced’ his move with a few years left on his but what is best for OUR club, forget the player, what they want or hope for, OUR club are the employer, so should it not be down to them to decide?
Both Theo and Robin could stick their fingers up to any contract offer this summer and if they do, what should the club do?
In my view, there are three options.
1) Sell them to the highest bidder.
2) Retain them under their contract conditions.
3) Retain them and play them in the reserves for the remainder of their contract.
Given the Clubs recent history would it be a surprise to anyone if we sold Robin and Theo if they are holding out for a huge pay packet or simply holding out full stop on signing a new contract?
Would anyone be surprised if we bought Podolski, sold the pair above and pocketed £20 odd million and then promoted a few of the young strikers we have?
I think this summer is the one which will tell us a lot about the direction our club is going to take in the next few years, will we look to be the big club we claim and aspire to be or will we merely look to compete for 4th again, looking for bargain buys and get by without actually competing at the very top?
Have a good day all…..
Morning,
2Scotts idea the other week about cutting a players wage as the contract hits the last year or two was a good idea they either sign a new one or the club sells as they know they not interested in staying…!
As for the papers they scum we know that…!
Mornihg Rico……..the board will sell them to the highest bidders and give arsene wanker a bumper pay rise……maybe 10m per year
As for RVP and Theo, wouldn’t surprise me if we offer them crap wages to get them not to sign and use that as an excuse to sell them both as well…! Our recent history would say we’ll sell and pocket the money…!
Morning all
I’m coming around to the idea that if players are making too many demands and want to go, sell them BUT, get the replacements in first and show a bit of backbone….
From the last post, Lee says:
‘Surely AW can’t be so naive again? Get some top drawer players in and hey presto he’ll sign and if doesn’t sell him asap….imho, no one is bigger than the club, apart from AW that is… ;)’
Spot On Lee…
We’ve needed a backbone on and off the pitch for several years now!!
I didn’t think of that scenario kc…. that could also happen for sure…! A huge summer for us me thinks….!
Kc, not sure about AW, i think he knows he’s already sailing close to the wind, he didn’t like the fans chants at him when things were really bad and he seriously questioned whether he should stay or go…
Hopefully he’s learned…..
Wath,we have been told RVP will not be sold under any cicrumstances.
I wonder if someone comes in with a 40 million bid what would happen lol.
Arsenal fail to be a big club when one thing happens……we allow players and their scumbag agents to dictate terms to us.
You don’t want to sign…..goodbye.
Your agent shops you are…..goodbye.
The club pays their wages.
The club is in charge,if it shows enough balls!!!!!
Wath, you old cynic re the wage offer 😉
Agree there too Lee, would M’Vila, Hernanes and JV finally bring that onto the pitch?
Keown would certainly bring it off the pitch….
Scott – the only bit about that is, we must get players in before RvP/Theo are sold off, IF they are going to be.
Otherwise, it will send out the wrong message to any potential class signings….
Like you say aswell though, i don’t want either to go….
No ambition or intent off the pitch with no spine or backbone on it Lee, they go hand in hand
This press always use Arsenal to sell their stuff. AW should sell any player that wish to go if not,they will not be happy at Emirate.
Scott we heard all that shit last year mate with Cesc and na$ri and both were sold… wengers comments last year about a big club doesnt sell its best players for me was utter shit…! Mancs sold Ronaldo big players get sold the issue for me is a big club sells big players BUT replaces them with other big players… We didn’t…!
Guys, just for info re the wordpress changes, have heard back from them and the changes were made for our own protection, stops others from using your details etc….
Rico….i don’t want it to happen but with arsenal and wenger….you have to expect the worst….u aid he had changed…i think so….by trying to turn ramshit into a winger
Wath, we haven’t done that in years, when was the last time we sold a top player and replaced him with similar quality??
Rico,if we give them a deadline to sign though,it doesn’t matter.
The added bonus will be players coming in will know we are a no-nonsense club,so we will get no prima donnas joining.
Please,please and do not sell our starz playerz to another club.we are not feederz club ok..retain them bring in some more quality blend them together and commpete for honorz come next season.
It my show we are no nonsense but if we sign players first it would show us fans more intent, once other clubs know we are desperate for a striker & winger, the price will go up..
Wath,I never suggested its the way Arsenal is,its the way they should be!
Rico,we need to make a stand once,and once only.
Kc, but, the difference could be Stan, he’s had his first year, we don’t know what he thinks about all that has gone on, he may just force a few things, as he did over Nasri and DD signings, IF we are to believe what was reported….
Ok, but if the board decide to sell, they have to complete that very soon after the season ends, we need our new signings in before the euros…
we don’t want to listen to wenger saying he’s taking his cheque book with him to the competition blah blah blah…
Gazidis has to be off of his butt, sorting things out now….
good point KC, expect the worst……. 😉
Ok, RvP & Theo say they won’t sign, clubs come in for them but neither player agrees to be sold to them….
What next??
yeah Rico, grazidis is working his bollocks off as we speak! or b)
Welcome mohally & Ebrima…
We shouldn’t keep unhappy players for sure, bad apples cause all sorts of probs….
Problem is Scott we said last year we won’t sell and we did… we say we won’t sell this year and we might… I’ll accept loosing any player on the condition the club shows the ambition and intent to replace quality for quality and I think thats all any of us ask…!
Buy Giroud for RVP,Podoski for Gervighno.Replace Walcott with The Ox.Buy Belhanda for creative mid field,convince Song to sign new contruct by adding his package and add M’vila to the mid of the park for variety.Buy Vortoghen to bring about leadership and establish a policy that Arsenal will always be above any individual emphatically. Up Up in Arsene we put our unwavering trust.Always a GOONER.
B) lee……
Mind you, haven’t read any crap from him in the papers/afc.com recently, maybe he is busy….. 😮
Anyone reckon there will be a board shake up soon?
Sign a new contract or rot in reserves.
I could handle it…..could other Gooners????
No,and that’s the problem.
Football fans say one thing,but under the pump,they give up and hand the power back to the players…..look at Citeh and Tevez!
There’s no way Arsenal would ever be in that position under Wenger.
Nobody wants to go through a period of pain for a long term gain.
Before anyone says we haven’t won anything for years,that hasn’t been by choice,so its irrelevant.
Everyone wants success,regardless of the price,and we support the one club who doesn’t sell their arse or soul for it…….
Wath,my 10.02 post….read the last line…..it tells the story.
The club has been in change for far to long Scott and on the pitch ain’t shown any balls at all…! Off it far to much lining of ones own pockets has gone on and they have forgotten they running a football club..!
Unfortunately its a business now.
Scott – i think Gooners could handle seeing players rot in the reserves, as long as we have made signings to give us what we need to compete….
Two weeks in the reserves and they’d soon go running back to AW to sign a new contract….
Look at what AVB did to Anelka 😉
And all good businesses have to be run properly to make it….
Speculate to accumulate and thats all we ask, what brings in money after money??
Success….
Rico,its easy to put an Anelka out to pasture when you have Drogba,Torres and Sturridge ready to go….AVB knew that,and so did the fans.
Wenger chamnge ya policy abt signing oooo
But at the time, Torres couldn’t hit a barn door, Sturridge was moaning and Drog was not at his best either…..
You get my drift though 😉
Rico,tell me why Barcelona,Real Madrid,Utd,Chelsea,Citeh and Rangers are all losing tens,if not hundreds,of millions every single year?????
They’ve all had success…most still are…..so how does money breed success which returns in more money?
It’s a fallacy.
Seriously,who makes money out of football???????
TV networks,players and filthy player agents.
Who else????
The owners don’t.
Scott says:
Rico,tell me why Barcelona,Real Madrid,Utd,Chelsea,Citeh and Rangers are all losing tens,if not hundreds,of millions every single year?????
Rico says ‘No’ 😉
Morning all,
Rico, re 10.33, only if PHW can’t find his cigars.
I think everyone might be pleasantly surprised this summer, after last summers panick buying i don’t think Arsene will ever let himself be put into that position again, he won’t make the same mistakes this time around.
Rico,youd swap any of those for Chamakh though,wouldn’t you?
Seriously, i don’t care about the clubs you list, AFC are my only concern.
Never have i suggested or wish for us to spend money we don’t have.
All I like most level headed fans want is value for money, sign better than what we have, player(s) who will make a difference and take us up a couple of notches….
Oh, and get rid of the crap in our squad and stop paying rubbish players top wages….
Let’s hope so Micko.
Rico,they’d all be broke if people weren’t giving them blank cheques.
Rico……i don’t just know….but some voice is telling me to remain positive that things will change in the summer….but i had been having hope since all thos shit shit summers….will something change….i think the best we shall do is to wait till JULY
Rico,we did speculate In attempt to accumulate…..its exactly how Arsenal is run.
Speculation certainly doesn’t guarantee success.
Chamakh,Young,Squillaci,Denilson……all speculative signings,and none worked out.
Scott, i’d swap you for Chamakh, and i haven’t ever met you 😉
Hi Micko 😆 re PHW.. and i hope you are right….
Look at Chamakhs record before he joined us…..it was superb.
Even in the Champions League,he proved how good he was.
We speculated….the risk was could he perform in the Premier League,and it failed.
Squillaci…..like it or not,he had a bloody good reputation….failed.
Denilson……huge ability…..failed.
Young…….failed.
Koscielny…..had a crap reputation compared to the others.
Wenger speculated,and its been a massive victory.
Chelski took absolutely no risk with Torres…..the guy was a proven goal scoring machine and was moving to a better club….no speculation involved……MASSIVE FAILURE.
With the funds,Liverpool speculated with Carroll,and its blown up in their face.
Neither speculation,nor spending,guarantees anything at all,
Spending alone guarantees one thing though………a loss of money each year.
Wenger did say only a couple of weeks ago that after the disastrous start to the season he did consider resigning, he probably then took one look at his payslip and wet himself.
If last summers farce doesn’t make him change his ways in the transfer market nothing will.
Don’t wanna hear anymore bull from Gazidas, just go and get the deals done early this time round,keep your big cake-hole shut in the process and you might just earn a bit more respect from the fans that way.
I don,t care if van perise is solled or not is a good player. Arsenal needs a striker who can make a deffrence must of the time his not able to give us goals when we need them i think wanger must start playin with two strikers not just van perise up front and get mvil to play along song on the midfld
Disagree on Kos, he was untested and unproved at the top, he was ready for a step up and he welcomed it with open arms – his first season wasn;t the best, but i don’t think it was planned for him to play so much but injury forced that…
Second season, setlled and a different player…..
Were Chamakhs stats ‘that’ good?
Squilli, over the hill, old and sluggish before we signed him, just like the Silvestre signing….
Denilson, should have sold him yonks ago, why have we kept him and paid him high wages, same with many others…
That’s my gripe, Wenger is not ruthless enough, when its clear players aren’t meeting his expectations, he hangs on them too long and pays them so high a wage, other clubs can’t or wont match it…
Again, Chavs, Dippers – i really don’t give a toss about them, but i bet Torres wouldn’t have been a flop had he joined us….
Exactly Micko…
Wenger knows now who he wants to sign, gazidis should get out there and earn his money. We will know soon enough if he has….
Last summer, Fergie got his signings done before the window even opened, that’s the kind of action we need to see…
Chamkah stats…
2002–2010 Bordeaux 230 (56) goals
2010– Arsenal 38 (8) goals
National team‡
2003 France U19 1 (0)
2003 – Morocco 61 (17) goals
Sam, hopefully Podolski will be that man….
Rico,he was the top scorer in the CL a few years back.
Playing for an average side.
Messi,Ronaldo……they were there.
No doubt our problem is paying wages above and beyond,but that’s not what you’re talking about when speaking of speculating.
Speculating is taking a chance.
Kozzer was a massive speculation,without question
Torres couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat,and the goals he’s missed over the last 18 months would’ve been missed no matter whoaid the final pass.
No,can’t blame the club there.
It doesn’t help,but he’s been woeful.
Off to bed now…..tomorrow night will be spent in a posh hotel overlooking the beach………after a lovely meal and a few drinks of course.
It’s tough,but someone has to do it.
Until then,goodnight all.
Laters Scott, get some shut eye.
i mean is paying good money for good players, that’s what i mean by speculate…
I don’t mean take a risk on kids or players who ‘might’ come good, not this summer and certainly not instead of who we really need to push us on…….
Anyway, night scott….
Popping off for a bit, back shortly…..
DIABY
Yes, i’m in again. 😀
Afternoon Gooners
Afternoon Rico.
What a polavah
Arteta. Out for rest of season with strained ankle ligaments.
Good Afternoon Guys and Chicks of the Smiling Gunners’ Faith.
Rico……you prefer Scott instead of Chamack??? Aw come on Lady. Where is your sense of taste and style. You dont prefer A nice looking lad with gelled hair and instead go for someone who likes fishing for slippery eels in mud baths??? I am so dissappointed.
Had it been me yes then I would have preferred you over Chamack. But that is stating the obvious no????
Your so getting a slap for that one Dev 😉
Hiya Scott. How are you mate. 😉
just saw your comments what you would do if players do not sign. I agree with you 100% mate. But it depends on what is written in their contract. For exaple Pires and Seaman had it written in their contract that if they were fit they had to start the games as first choice. That is why when we had Manninger and he was playing well he was replaced the moment that Seaman became fit. He could not do otherwise.
A slap??? Who me??? For saying I prefer Lady instead of Chamack? So would you prefer Chamack instead of Rico??? 🙁
Your hardly paying her a compliment lol Your in beeeeeeeg chicken poo me thinks…. u wait…!
Coach is gonna get his deriere smacked methinks. 😀
What is a deriere CG 😕
You and all this name changing………….. then you moan at wordpress 😛
Afternoon guys and gals….
devil, just merely pointing out how little i think of Chamakh 😉
J’taime Press d’Word.
They keep on mucking me about Wath.
Yeh yeh yeh, then I have to keep letting you out of jail 😉
There you are W.A.T.H. No slaps, no chicken poooooo and no deriere 😕 smacked.
Hoorah, 4 eggs today, for the first time 🙂
I’ll buy you a GG sometime Wath…
Wonder how much rotation diMatteo will do on Saturday?
They must surely prioritise the CL taking a lead into the 2nd leg??!
Hi AK, i bet he doesn’t rotate any …..
oh God. Transfers
https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQLNAwm9lgseRK9XoTngdSPURbCe1eblsR4lx1yYHGFfI-bLmZ0kQ
I’ll look forward to that GG mate… best we sort a ruby out as well while we at it…!
😆 alan, great photo…
Devil, Seaman was probably one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the time and Englands number one, of course he’s gonna walk straight back into the team, it would be foolhardy for any club to agree such terms in a contract as all players go through a dip in form for one reason or another, as for Pires, he could walk on water so he was an automatic choice anyway.
Alan, don’t worry, be happy.
Kev, sturridge enjoys playing against us, its gonna be him or Torres up front, Dogpoo will be rested the weekend.
I agree Micko. But maybe RVP, Theo etc have it written in their contract also, that is why they go straight back in.
I think if Gibbs is back and Song behaves, we should have enough to keep them out…
But Sturridge v Santos
Or Mata v Santos
I think that Mata, Drogba, Obi, Terry, Cahill, Cech, Ramires will all be rested. I think it will be an attack of Kalou, Torres and Sturridge which we will face.
GG & ruby…….WATH & AK about??
I thought that would get your attention Lee 😉
Devil, Walcott is definately one for Arthur C Clarke mysteries to investigate.
😆 Micko, not enough competition for his place, thats whats wrong with Walcott…. Same with a few others too….
I knew the word Ruby would rustle Lee up…..
Lee can smell a ruby from 200 yards. 😀
Mick, tbh my biggest fear isn’t who Chelski will choose.
It’s no Arteta for us.
Apparantly he’s missed 6 games for us.
1 draw. 5 defeats.
hi everybody!
I’m concern just with Saturday match.
I don’t know, but i’m quite sure then mostly of the transfers will be doing after the European Cup. in Poland and Ukraine. Until tthere, with a few exceptions, it all be only news for the newspapers and others media
I read that too AK about Arteta, it doesn’t bode well….
Huge test for Ramsey….
yes Arteta is out for the rest of the season
Llorente (Bilbau) Citizens?
Diaby… 🙂
Hi JM, we have to do ours before….
Charlie, you reckon he’s fit, read he played 45 mins last night, and he didn’t suffer another injury….
Chelsea is now very strong, with high mentality, strong physical and psicological.
Our players must be fit and put back the defeat versus Wigan.
I don’t know how is Diaby now, but probably he can’t play the 90th minutes. Ramsey is the same.
we’ve got the cast of “el cid” of midfielders and now we’re relying on Diaby……
What does that tell us lee….. ?
then again, i know you know the answer…..
lack of quality & depth in the squad…..same in a few positions, Rico!
Diaby hasn’t played 60 minutes for us all season, its money for old rope.
AW’s a wanker?
The board suck dead moose hampton?
Exactly lee – see i knew you knew 😉
You been out for a liquid lunch? 😉
Old rope Micko, that has uses…..
Calm down Lee. 😀
We might have to settle for a draw this Saturday.
Considering our last performance and Chelski’s form a draw could be a good result…
2 wins and 2 draws in our final 4 games might be just enough for 3rd…
nah, nose to the grindstone………unfortunately my strike rate this afternoon has been fairly Jason Lee-esque!!!
3 points a must Charlie ……
12 points….
Afternoon People.
While Scott is counting sheep as all good Aussie does what Welsh shepherd ..xxx……here is Merlin’s Stat again….
NO CL CUp winner ever defended their title and it means CHelski has a more than decent chance to beat BArca by grinding out a scoreless draw at Nou Camp..or hit them on the break with a goal….
Glad that Barca ran all those Chelsea Pensioners ragged and definitely, when you are on the wrong side of 30, physically, you can’t recovered quickly from all those knocks and fatigue after palying 2 intense and high tempo games within 5 days, early lunch time kick-off and meet Barca 3 days later.
De Matteo will of course obey the wish of his Sugar Daddy who craves CL Cup more than the league title and I am very sure lots of senior players will be rested with CHelski coming to Emirates with one aim…not to lose and a win is a bonus.
Terry, Cole, Drogba and Lampard will not be risk….and players may be told to reserve themselves for Nou Camp game.
I am also sure that CHelski players are playing with half-an-eye on Tuesday game and will not be going all out to play…merely contianment exercise and will not risk injury.
Therefore, Arsenal must bring the game to them like what we did against ABu DHabi CIty, an intense, high-tempo game with no prisoners taken, no quarter asked……just go in for every 50:50 ball, snarling and banging them……and run them ragged again..and perhaps run them off their feet such that after 80th minute, we put ’em to th sword by scoring one goal…
Thanks to their 1-0 win and with SUgar Daddy craving for a CL Cup…guess what instruction will SUga Daddy gave to De Matteo?
We will never have a better chance to win against CHelski, a team with half a mind on Tuesday game, a SUgar Daddy’s obsession to win a CL Cup……provided of course, Van Persie can hit the barndoor squarely instead of the door frame…
Ditto Lee, nothing less…..
Unless all the others drop points of course 😉
Hi JM, i hope they have one eye on the CL, in fact i hope they have two eys on the barca fixture…..
rico says:
April 19, 2012 at 2:59 pm
😆 alan, great photo…
Thanks. I ;ove that bloke. He really looks frustrated
It’s Wenger isn’t it Alan 😉
Back in a bit guys…….
yes, rico because now, in my opinion, is a crucial game for us.
Hiya mates. I am back. No fraternising with the dippers today thank God. So I just did it my way. That is, small sided games of 4v5 which were intensive, fun and full of technical skills.
Now back to some of the discussions above.
I am not presumptious enough to say that Abramostitch will tell Di Matteo to throw the game against us. However I think that he will realise that he is more likely to have a chance to win the Champions league than finish 3rd. For the Champions lge its just two games. To finish third it means that besides the Chavs having to win all the remianing games, it also means that ARSENAL, the swampies and NUFC have to fail in all their games. So both eyes, ears, legs, hands and whatever double physical attributes they have will all be focused on the CL.
Now if we finish 3rd, the Chavs get the CL and the swampies finish 4th that would mean the latter remaining a thursday team. Now that would be a big fekking larf. 😆
Onto RVP. Imo I think he will leave.
Consider this mates. He would have had one full season for the first time in what seems an eternity. So he is injury prone. Next summer he would have the Euros, and that means a prolungated season. Third if he would be sold now he would fetch quite a big sum and I am speaking about 25 to 35 million. Consider also the fact that AW has the GPS and one thing that it does is mark when you are in the red zone. And believe me mates…..RVP IS IN THE RED ZONE. Fifth….RVP knows that he will be sold and this can be seen in his body language. His demanour is different to what it was in the first half of the season. Just like Cesc and Na$ri last season. They knew they were going to be sold. And I can tell you that RVP knows that the club wants to sell him. ASAP. That is why they open secret of Podolski. The club knows that if they get Podolski, Vertonghen, M’Vila in and RVP out the supporters would not be up in arms. If AFC really want to offer RVP a massive contract they would have already done so and they would be harping about it. However they offer him an offer which they know would be turned down and then say that he left. AW is no mug as sometimes we and the media portray him to be. He knows when a player might break down. He knew last season that Wilshere was in the red zone and that is why he went to buy Arteta. Had Wilshere been fit would he have bought Mikel??? I think not. Although this is a blessing in disguise because next season we would have both. 🙂
So it seems that AW already knows that RVP will be out of the Emirates and is hoping that he has a good Euro. That will only send his price up. Personally I am hoping that Moratti of Internazionale gets on the wrong side of the bed and offers 40 to 45 milion for him. He did it with Eto’o, offering 50 million plus Ibrahimovitch. So maybe 40 million with Alvarez??? I do hope so.
Now imagine this…..RVP finishes this season, has a great Euro and AFC keep him. Do you honestly think he can be able to repeat his exploits next season? I think not. Everyone suffers a dip when there is a Euro or WC. And RVP is no different. SO I expect that if he stays RVP will surely suffer a dip. For example if he scores around 30 to 35 goals I think that next season he will not score more than 24 in total. It would be a good return for a striker getting into twenties but next season would be his last one as a top striker. After that it will be downhill. He hasnt the physique of Drogba. We saw yesterday what a beast he is. RVP can never be like that. He will be 29 and that will be the last chance that he can fetch a big sum.
So when weighing it all I think that RVP will go next summer.
The only other alternative would be to buy a striker and put RVP in the DB10 role. But that I doubt.
Victor Moses does not want to renew his contract which expires in 2013……………..
That do you all think? Would you like him to join AFC???
Boo, evening all 🙂
devil – Moses – YES!!!
JM, you and me both, beat Chelsea and and we are half way there….
I like Moses. Better than Theo I think. And he has nearly the same speed….but with brains. And he is English.
On the other hand I would like to see a 4-2-3-1 formation with Moses, OX and Theo behind the front striker. Now that would be awesome.
Buy Sturridge as well and put him as the loan striker. That will give us a front four of the English Team.
What do you all think???
Chavs won’t sell Sturridge now AVB is gone devil….
That’s a pity.
What do you think about my RVP analysis Rico???
Dev, the major thing about Moses is not only can he part the sea he is an Arsenal fan….!
Hiya W.A.T.H. Yes he can part the sea………the way he used his speed to rip Sagna is not a sight which we have seen very often since Sagna was with AFC. Put him instead of Gervinho and he will wreak havoc.
Agreed and as said the boy is Arsenal he’ll bleed for the shirt…!
But we know AW will not buy him. On the other hand he might surpise us??? What say you???
Devil, i am no tactician like you boys 😉
Didn’t know he was a gooner Wath, thought he is African 😉
However, he started at Crystal Palace 😆
No I am speaking about RVP leaving…in the long post I have made at 6.40
Some interesting points re; RVP.
Tbh Devil, i couldn’t argue with your scenario.
But in the end, that just confirms that Arsenal are a selling club and won’t win any trophies next season…
The only way to change the commonly held belief in football, that Arsenal are a selling club and only interested in a top~four finish, would be to retain RVP and bring in those extra~talented players that’ll turn us into realistic contenders again.
A big summer with many quwstions answered methinks.
He’s a gooner Rico used to watch us as a kid…! Thing is Dev if he free end of next season he would come cheap…. Arsenal and Wenger like cheap….!
devil –
i actually don’t think RvP wants to leave, I think he wants the club to match his ambition.
the reason for that is the way he talks about his contract, he’s too calm and honest.
yes he is no doubt playing in the red, but we all know why that is and we can see it.
And, i really believe AW doesn’t want to sell him, but, another man above him may disagree…..
Hiya Charlie. I did not know that Charlie George had a moustache plus a bit of a round belly and according to W.A.T.H a geriatric. 😉
Agree AK….
Good Wath, then lets go get Moses and sell Walcott to the highest bidder 😉
But, having both in the same squad would be better, rather moses that Toilett 😉
Don’t listen to Wath, Coach, he’s just a naughty boy.
