Pacey international linked, depleted squad for tomorrow & Wenger wants Song to stay in Spain…

Morning all,

Not much good news came from of Arsene Wenger yesterday.

Fabianski remains on the sidelines with his rib injury and Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all face fitness tests today.

All but Rosicky he believes could be ok. Makes me wonder why on earth Tomas was on the bench in the week if he’s still struggling with a hamstring injury.

Talking about players who are struggling, our old midfielder is doing just that in Spain and not too many of us will be overly concerned.  Well, not until the stories started about him possibly returning.

Still, no need to worry any more, Wenger has had this to say:

There is no buy-back [clause] in his contract.

 I heard that he wants to give it a go for another season, which you can understand because it’s the first season. 

I think he’s a quality player and sometimes the players have to persist when it doesn’t go well and not change their mind too soon. My personal advice for him would be to give it another go and after two seasons he can still make a decision.

Phew, no buy-back and from that, it doesn’t seem like Wenger would be interested in rescuing the player either..

Wonder why he agreed to let a player who he says is ‘quality’, leave – he does seem to do a lot of that….

Maybe if/when Alisher Usmanov finally convinces Stan to sell up, he will stop selling, well apart from those who need to be sold of course and we have a few of those.

In the news, Arsenal are reported to be monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt’s Japan midfielder Takashi Inui. Apparently Wenger has made it clear that his priority is to sign a centre back, defensive midfielder and striker, but 24 year old Inui — capped six times by Japan — is a pacy, left-footed midfielder who is deployed as a playmaker or out wide.

He’s managed to score six times this season and has totted up six in 28 Bundesliga appearances. He’s big in Japan and suggestion is that his signing would make ensure a huge profit on shirt sales.

Finally, back to Arsene Wenger, who has been talking about watching football in all other countries other than England. Something which he says he finds quite boring…

Sometimes I watch foreign games and after 20 minutes you’re bored because every time somebody goes down it’s a foul, and you say: ‘Come on, that’s not football’. We do not want to lose the strengths and what makes English football attractive.

Sometimes though it gets very boring watching the side you support get kicked time and time again, yet the referee does nothing….

I know which I’d prefer….

That’s it for another no news day…

    Takashi Inui ….. … (trans) crispy aromatic garlic pan fried prawn with seaweed ….

    Alphaville were “Big in Japan” and they were shit.

  2. Bradster says:

    Wasn’t there a Japanese left winger nick named Ryodinho that has a couple of Japan caps and scored a few at a Dutch side? Think we bought him maybe.
    Howz his shirt sales going?

    Not knocking Myiacchi, I rate him and he’s still a boy. I’d prefer we buy a top class player than make more profit for Kroenke and the board.

  3. rico says:

    Hi Brad – he’s injured. AW says his rehab is going well though…

    2 years left on his contract I think….

  4. tsgh says:

    Why not Honda playing in Russia? He will sell more jersey’s in the far east…

    Kiyotake(spelling) of Dortmond and Sakai of Stutgart (poor man Bale) are better imho…

    How is it that AW is always going for an ‘Inamoto’ instead of a ‘Nakata’ type of player

    Morning btw…

  5. rico says:

    Hi Ts, not sure he’s going for any of this type of player really, would be a strange addition when we lack in other key areas.

    Its all paper talk and we know what they are like…

  6. tsgh says:

    Hi Brad,

    Ryo is a very good player but unfortunately he has not got the brains to match on the field… He needed to stay and learn tactical awareness instead of going on loan imho…reason why Alberto Zaccheroni did not pick him much even ahead of locally based J-league players….

  7. tsgh says:

    Hi lady,

    Voice of reason as always… I guess, I am getting carried away by all this paper talk I guess…

    What I was trying to say was, we have Eisfield, Aneke, Serge, Ox and Ryo all pushing for a regular spot on the wings….

    If we need to buy a player from that part of the world it has to be for commercial reasons… reason why we should have paid £8M for Nakata instead of £1m or £2m for Inamoto when Nakata was as big as DB07 and Ljunberg on the ‘billboard department’…. 😉

  8. Scott from Oz says:

    At seeing Japan play our Aussie biys a few times, Honda is definitely the best of them.
    Morning all.

  9. Bradster says:

    My point was that we have already got an unknown Asian with a few goals and caps. We keep crying out for quality players not faces to sell shirts.

    I agree with ts.

  10. tsgh says:

    Hi Scott… and he has said in the past he supports the best miserly team on the planet… 😉

    A sweet left foot. The only issue is that he would displace JW maybe…. but at least he is deadly at set-pieces…

  11. devilgunner says:

    I would prefer a football game where its always 11v11 played by honest players, controlled by honest refs and linos and where ARSENAL always win.

    Good Morning Lady and Gentlemen

  12. Canadian Gooner says:

    Good Morning to the Lady of the House and to my fellow Gooners in residence.

    I meant to comment earlier, but had great difficulty in finding my bottle of crocodile tears in the back of my medicine cabinet. I couldn’t comment on Alex. Song’s situation without them. I know TalkShite isn’t usually the best of sites, but the following article sums up the plight of Mr. Song and Senor ‘I’m Just a Little Boy’ Fabregas;

    http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/features/130417/struggles-song-and-fabregas-barcelona-show-how-far-arsenal-have-fallen-b-195786

    However, I disagree with the author’s conclusions in the final paragraph. Farcelona play a very regimented zonal game. Players coming from the free roaming open play of Arsenal will always have problems adapting, even apparently Senor Fabregas who spent years in their youth system at La Massia.

  13. ozgunner10 says:

    Actually whats happened with Cesc and Song is great news for us, maybe they will bugger off and leave our players alone from now on 🙂 You know its only a matter of time till the Jack to Barca stories start

  14. Canadian Gooner says:

    Oz – Yes, unfortunately that is all too true, although I hope Jack will have a long and illustious career with us.

    Will the these players never learn. Once Farcelona and other ‘Bigger European clubs’ (i.e. willing to pay higher wages) start to sing their Siren Song the players think they are God’s gift to the game of football and off they go with swelled heads and inflated egos only to become bit part players or flamboyant failures. The list is very long and includes the likes of;

    David Bentley
    Jermain Pennant
    Mattieu Falmoney
    Alex Song
    Cesc Fabregas

    Only a few, usually the more level headed ones, do better elsewhere.

  15. ozgunner10 says:

    syg – hello mate hahah once or twice yes – still sing the odd ]tie me kangaroo down sport’ now and then

  16. Scott from Oz says:

    Isn’t Rolf that board wobbling pom??
    Hasn’t set foot down under for 100 years or so 🙂
    Still waiting to see one ex Arsenal lad perform better elsewhere!

  17. ozgunner10 says:

    CG – we do our fair share of building their ego’s as well mate in fairness – need to wait till they have actually proved something before we start with our mad predictions of their greatness

  18. Canadian Gooner says:

    Oz – All too true. Like most public figures you build them up so you can tear them down or watch them self-destruct.

    SYG – Sad article. It only goes to show that excelling in a particular field does not make you a great human being and most of us do have feet of clay.

  19. tsgh says:

    Players failing at ‘Marcelona’… is not a reflection of their inability or the low-class of Arsenal. The fact is how many players can seriously consider uprooting the core of the squad made up of 4 of the worlds best 5 players in my opinion.

    So far as Xavi, Iniesta, Busquet and the Mutant are still playing and Barca are still winning it will be difficult to make a spot yours amongst the core positions.

    Remember even Yaya Toure was a sub at marcelona but is considered one of the best in this league…

    Players like D Silva and SC19 were not even wanted by RM or Barca but are considered world class in this league by some…

    The issue I believe is that when you have the best foriegn secretary and UN chief DNA analyst i.e Pique and Puyol telling tapped players, they have the E.T DNA within their makeup… they believe it. Its like Simon Cowell telling another moron they are the best singer on the planet…. 😀

    Does that mean the players who have left us when they were touted as world or international class players were too good for this league or that AW made them better than they were? Scott,NG vs SYG, Oz can debate that whilst I enjoy …. 😀

    Its not just Arsenal players who have failed at Barcelona… the likes of Bendtner’s brother Ibrahimovic and even Vila have all not lived up to their billing…

  20. southyorkshiregunner says:

    He’s been arrested and bailed … just been on Radio 1…

    He was brilliant on TV in the 1970’s…. it’s a shame.

  21. tsgh says:

    Hi SYG and kev… can you tell me what order/brotherhood the Neville brothers are part of that is making them prime candidates for future knighthood and footballing messiah’s of this country… 😀

    It surely can’t be the one down at Adam’s Compton Street tight leather pants lodge… 😉

    Even the De Boer brothers could not acheive what they are doing in football…

  22. southyorkshiregunner says:

    Its like Simon Cowell telling another moron they are the best singer on the planet….

    THAT IS A CLASSIC !

    Television, like the music business is bollocksed at the moment …. Reality shite and soaps ….

    Watched a 4-episode / series on DVD last night starring Sean Bean. “Extremely Dangerous” …. A good night in for £7.99 + half a dozen Budweisers

  23. tsgh says:

    That is why I worship no man… especially these fame hungry men… I guess innocent until proven guilty in a ‘democracy’ as they say…

  24. Scott from Oz says:

    Next thursday is Anzac day.
    It is a day that defines Australia as a nation.
    It is a day where true heroes are remembered for what they gave in order to create the Australia some of us are lucky enough to live in today.
    Rolf Harris is a non event.
    Footballers, of any code, can hardly be considered heroes.

  25. tsgh says:

    Hi CG… its friday after all… tomorrow, the scum manager Martin Jol will deploy his best ever tactics on the planet to try to defeat us… forgetting that against the chavs he rolled over like a poodle whilst Roman tickled his tummy….

    Even Berbatov will have another stellar game and then people will be asking why AW did not buy him… forgetting he was an ex-scum too… Sol was an exception of course… he was just conned to join the wrong nth london team…

  26. Canadian Gooner says:

    Scott – A very good point. Too many of us are dissatisfied or unfulfilled with our own lives that we want to live vicariously through others. We tend to elevate people well beyond their true worth to society. You only have to watch any the so-called ‘reality shows’ to see that they are the modern versions of the ancient Romans free bread and circuses.

  27. Canadian Gooner says:

    Good morning Kev. My oldest son is going to be in London in May. He is NOT a Quebecer he is a Gooner. So, if he does get in your cab, please treat him fairly.

    ANZAC.

    Great mini series SYG.
    One actor from it, Jon Blake, crashed his car on his way home the day filming finished leaving him with massive brain damage.
    He would have been a star world wide.

  31. Scott from Oz says:

    Syg, as with Fosters, Neighbours and Home @ Away, Barry Humphreys is much more popular in Egland than he is in Oz 🙂

  32. southyorkshiregunner says:

    Neighbours and Home and Away are the same as Coronation Street, Eastenders, Emmerdale ……
    There’s a reason why soaps are popular with certain people …. Why would people endear themselves to bad actors and acting, shit scripts etc. on a regular basis ?

  35. stevepalmer1 says:

    afternoon all, good post Rico. this link to an asian player sounds right up Arsenals street. Were trying to enter the Asian market and as in the past with Ryo who went down quite well only never to be seen again ,this smells like another advertising trick. But then again i have never heard of him before so it could be true. As for Alex Song i would take him back in a heartbeat. He may not have been everybodies favorite but he went on forward runs and he was one player who fought like hell to get the ball and keep it, he knew how to pass and very often saw the pass that lead to goals. Many said that they wanted a DM to hang back and support the back four but i liked the way he doggedly went forward. We all see players differently and want out of them what we believe to be their strengths but we look at other DM and like the forward runs and penetratingtheir defences, we have many that can keep the line but not to many that venture forward. just my view.

  36. Micko says:

    Morning all,
    We need more Japanese supporters in the stadium, their enthusiasm is unrivalled, they go nuts when we get a corner, they could plug the empty seats every week.
    Beware of them prickly pears rico.

  37. Canadian Gooner says:

    SP1 – I doubt Arsene would have Song back. They didn’t part under the best of circumstances.

  38. stevepalmer1 says:

    I have a feeling that as soon as Song heard that Barca was interested that he naturally thought why not, if i was to be honest the way we have been performing i probably would have done the same. Wenger would have had the hump had Song demanded a transfer and i would have thought that he has had a little smile on his face that Song has not played that much. Wenger may have another in his sights so Song can suffer another season.

  39. tsgh says:

    Esp… Carrick performances and importance is what most Arsenal fans fail to appreciate…

    If Carrick was playing for us the fans would have slaughtered him already… he is the reason why they tick over… and he is the closest to Scholes I have seen play for England or Man u in terms of his understanding of football imho…

  40. Scott from Oz says:

    Ginge, i dislike Fosters, Home and Away AND Neighbours!!
    Each leaves the taste of shit in my mouth 🙂

  41. Scott from Oz says:

    Song, RVP, Nasri, Clichy…….we won just as much without them as we did with them!!
    We need winners brought in, not wannabes.
    RVP has not improved Utd one bit…..Citeh have just been worse than they were last season and they are Utds only competitiors.

  42. tsgh says:

    Hi Micko, SP1…

    AW is as sly as a fox… with what he says…. maybe where he grow up and its contribution to espionage in ww11… makes him a natural ‘spy’…

    Aw and I guess most of the players knew Alex was leaving in a hotel for 4 months before he left for Barcelona…

    If you are a manager and you know a player who (was like a rescued dog…) and was transformed to a decent level has decided to hold the club to ransom through his agent by asking for an improved terms of contract a year after signing one… what would you do… his wife was allegedly already living in Spain…

    I like him as a footballer but people forget he deliberately orchestrated a police chase to suspend his driving license when he was caught near Brent Cross. (Just another of my screwed up opinions I know) 😉

  43. eastsidepaul says:

    tsgh I agree that he has been an important player for united, but the fact we are, where we are in the league at the moment is due to Cazorla’s performances in his first year in a new league, I think that deserves some recognition.

  44. emma says:

    Hi everyone,

    Disappointed that Gervinho is not on the PFA player of the year list 🙁

    scott – You are not far from the truth. If Judas had stayed he would have gotten close to 40 or more goals this season. Scoring 24 goals in all competition this season is not an improvement

    tsgh – Carrick is manures black box. Without him it would be impossible for manure to be in the position they are now. There is a transformation about his game this season

  45. tsgh says:

    True considering Kagawa cost 2m more and he is a sub…

    Another stellar AW moment… Scott do you agree… 😀

    How many of Rednoses buys this season have played as much as Poldi, OG12 and SC19…. Vpursey is just on loan to manure because he is a pig and he loves the shite….

  46. Scott from Oz says:

    I have a very simple belief.
    Once a player indicates he wants out or even threatens to hold the club to ransom, piss him off as wuickly as possible.
    Whether or not it is game playing by his agent, too bad.
    If a club is employing a player, then for that player to publicly discuss the possibility of leaving then it is tantamount to treason.
    Personally, i have absolutely no issue with the players we have sold except for Henri, because he never wanted to leave and i rwckon had plenty to offer.
    The others….good riddance, and whether we would be better off or not with them still at the club is irrelevant in my eyes.

  47. Canadian Gooner says:

    Scott – It is unfortunate that we couldn’t revive the stocks. Our fans would pay plenty for the priveledge of hurling rotten fruit or worse at some of our former players.

    P.S. I’m first in line.

  48. emma says:

    tsgh – Just hope we get a striker who knows where the net is and we will be alright for next season. SC19 has created 81 chances less than have of it has not being converted. Which is a poor return for our striker. Giroud has missed more glaring chances than the number of goals he has scored. Not saying he is bad since this is his 1st season. Hope he improves on that next season and becomes clinical in front of goal

    Do you know that Judas(pursering) has created more scoring chances (61) than the entire manure team? Food for thought

  49. tsgh says:

    Esp… SC19 has cost us a few points too imho… chavs home and away… $hitty, Manure away, Bradford after Gerv’s 1 yard miss,Fulham home before MA08 penalty miss… Fc Bayern home and away… just to name a few…

    turning up against the likes of Saints and WBA is not enough… and that is not bashing him at all…. just hope he turns up against the top teams sometimes at least next season…

  50. Scott from Oz says:

    CG, i agree totally.
    Our problem has not been the players who have left, it is the lack of like for like replacements.

  51. tsgh says:

    interesting stats Emma… but the role SC19 is playing is similar to what Lavezzi (spelling) and reuz are playing for their clubs… he should be more clinical too…. his best ever return in his career but hopefully he will start giving us Lampard type figures next season…

  52. tsgh says:

    But no team on the planet can ever replace a star imho…

    That is why you should never sell them in the first place. Ajax never replace who they sell even if they win their league…

    Have Barca ever replaced Eto… did Inter ever replace Inzachi… was Baggio ever replaced… was Pirlo ever replaced or has Roy Keane beeen replaced some may ask… Has Ronaldo truly replaced Zidane… Has Benzema even replaced Raul?

    Did BB ever replace Shearer or did AV ever replace Yorke… the list goes on and on… reason AW said when we lose Nasri and Cesc we will become a selling club… but I guess someone forced him or his alleged bonus did… 😉

  53. Canadian Gooner says:

    Well it is very very late. I need my beauty sleep as I can’t afford to get any uglier. So I’ll bid you good afternoon/evening/tomorrow morning. Till tomorrow fellow Gooners. Keep the Faith.

  54. emma says:

    Goal scoring chances created>> arsenal>>> Cazorla (81) Wilshere(43) Ramsey(34) Giroud(34)

    Goal scoring chances created manures >>> Judas(61) Shriek(45) Young(35) carrick(34)

    Despite the fact that wilshere has played less matches compared to the rest he is still closer to shriek in terms of chances created

  55. emma says:

    tsgh – we all know that his hands were forced. For Judas I still believe AW wasn’t willing to sell until Judas released the infamous statement slating AW and the board. That was the final nail on the curfew

  56. tsgh says:

    I agree Emma….

    I am not knocking Santi at all I have to clarify…. this is because before we bought him, I always rated him…. the issue is he never turned up playing against RM or Barca when he was with Malaga or Villareal… the reason why those teams did not really make a lot of effort to sign him at 26/27 y.o…

    The top 4 or 5 teams in Euope buy big game players. The reason why I prefer Drogba as a striker to Henry even though Henry is a gunner and far superior… And some prefer Messi to Ronaldo even thoug Ronaldo is more of a complete player…

    The reason why Fergie never bought Benzema before and he scouted the whole world to buy a 29 y.o injury -prone 1 season wonder….

  57. eastsidepaul says:

    Tsgh take out his goals and assits, where would we be? Who in that team picks up the slack? Ramsey? Arteta? Wilshere? There isn’t anyone else in the team close to him at Arsenal.

    Don’t think you can blame United on santi, we should have lost that game by more than we did the previous year, the whole team was at fault that day.

  59. Micko says:

    Scott re 1.00, RVP has not improved Utd one bit……..not sure about that.
    Tsgh re 1.01, wouldn’t it have been a lot easier to have just run a few red lights.

  60. tsgh says:

    ESp… its hypothetical… but its just like asking where city will be if they had Balotteli…. will he set up another 94 minute assist to win the league… without vpursey we have scored more goals but will we qualify for the champions league… some say with vp we would have won the league but will he be on the same wave length as sc19… would vp have gotten injured as per usual….

    my answer is we will never know dynamics of football is difficult to predict…

  61. emma says:

    The team is currently playing as a unit compared to what we had 10/11 matches ago. Don’t know what’s the situation with Sagna but we need 3 quality players added to the squad. I wouldn’t mind converting Vermaelen to a DM and buy a CB in the summer

  62. Adam says:

    Afternoon Rico and all. Just got back from Kent through the Blackwall Tunnel. Interesting to note the different shapes of people’s heads and relate them to the areas they inhabit. I may draw up a new map of London and the Home Counties as described by individual skull types.

  63. emma says:

    Micko – Judas has improved the manure team and not the other way round.But every time he goes about spitting his guts that he is now a better player than what he was at arsenal. That is pure fallacy. Stats speaks for itself when the comparison is made.

  64. eastsidepaul says:

    tsgh, the only thing i’m really trying to say is that Cazorla is not only our best midfielder, but the best player at the club, and really his efforts this year should have been recognised by the PFA.

  65. tsgh says:

    Just don’t confirm Yao Gerv was initiated into that skull and bones club just because he has a forehead and a half…
    That would be lazy journalism 😀

  66. eastsidepaul says:

    Cool tsgh

    Was glad to see WH drawing with united, means that they will have to beat us at the emirates now.

    RVP has not played as well this year as he did last year, but still united run away with the league. Sad days!

  67. Adam says:

    Cranial assessment is a continually ongoing task TS. It is challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Remaining impartial is the difficult part.

  68. southyorkshiregunner says:

    What would improve us

    Jagielka
    Paulinho
    Capoue
    Goetze
    Jovetic

    what wouldn’t, but what would be far more typical Wenger signings

    Emmanuel Mbola
    Fabrice Olinga
    Gōtoku Sakai
    Takashi Inui
    Yassine Benzia
    Djibril Sidibé

  69. Micko says:

    All players do that Emma, I don’t take any notice of him, the only fact I know is he’s a class striker.

  70. southyorkshiregunner says:

    joaquim ….
    Wenger loves faffing about with playing players out of position…. I’m surprised he hasn’t tried him in there …. or on the wing …. or as central striker …..

    I don’t mind a player out of position as a stop gap during an emergency, but some of his decisions this season have been stupid..
    … Ramsey is now turning in some performances reminiscent of that period just before his leg break …. Cazorla is an ambidextrous wide-man, but has been utilised as the “false-nine”, whereas the false nine is Arshavin’s position yet he has played there twice since he arrived here …. Gervais as central striker?

    If we are after a “presence” in the midfield who can play a bit – then buy one…. Wenger knows who they all are …

  71. Adam says:

    Micko. As you turn into Seven Sisters Road you are actually crossing a Time Portal and are transported back to another age. The figure around you are hunched and their arms are longer while their cranium’s (or should that be craneii ?) are distended and rather grotesque to the modern eye. One could believe that the brains they contain might be larger and more developed, but this would be a mistake. Only synapses providing the most basic motor functions really need to be accommodated and in the land of N17 there is simply no need for anything more sophisticated, ergo, as Darwin pointed out, evolution can be bought to a halt where there is no need to advance or develop further. As nobody actually has a job there is simply a yellow marker on the pavement that always leads to the dole office, while the emergent red lines will take the inhabitants straight to either the betting shop or the nearest fried chicken establishment. Personal requirements, including hygiene, are considered undesirable and the only new establishment to be opened since the mass rioting of 2 years ago is a tattoo parlour that also distributes cigarettes to newborn children.

  72. southyorkshiregunner says:

    I think Eboue has a larger head than Gervais, but the shape of Gervais’ head throws you a bit… Eboue’s head must way about 20kg whereas Gervais’ would struggle to top 10kg … his hairstyle and protruding forehead does make his head look larger …. just think how much they’d both weigh with a brain in there …

    ..Kenny Burns had a really large head, but his father disfigured it by chopping firewood on his face ….
    …During the 1990’s Carlton Palmer had the smallest head in football ….. The Wednesday fans used to call him “pinhead” …

  73. southyorkshiregunner says:

    He’s an ugly cnut, that I’ll give you Adam …. but head size …. I’m not so sure …..

    I’m not so sure I could describe it as Ian Dowie-esque …

    Atilo Lombardo is a strange looking one ….. huge footballing brain, but small head….

  74. southyorkshiregunner says:

    Rio Ferdinand has the longest hair lip in football …. Between him and Plug of the Beano…..

  75. Adam says:

    I once had an entrepreneurial moment when I thought about making bottle openers in the shape of Rio’s head.

  76. agirlagunner says:

    Booooo! Hello, hello! Re: Song and Cesc: Hahahahaha. Barca will win something this year, and they would go on and on about how Barcelona was the right choice. They won’t really believe it though. Neither will we. 😉 Whatever they say, they’re no more than bit players in that squad.

  77. Adam says:

    Good, thanks Agag. Craniums? Mmmm, yes, it’s funny where a taste for the bizarre leads the less disciplined of us. Rico still tolerates me though – just.

  78. agirlagunner says:

    But you’re still a toad, I see. 😛

    I can’t stand van Pursey. I see him and I think along the lines of smashed kneecaps, fractured ankles, broken jaw and all that gristle and gore. Why nobody has done it, I don’t understand. 😉

    Hiya, Lee. 🙂 Howdy? Manure would be nowhere without all of van Pursey’s goals, I agree.

    Afternoon all, just a quick add to the ones that got away re Scott @1:13

    Lansbury has scored 5 for Forest
    Jay Simpson got 7 for Hull

    Both will add at least another each, as they will both make playoffs..

    And we kept NB52….

    Just food for thought(Being bombed out not NB52’d)

    Rico , Bale will play this sunday , injure himself and they will lose lol…I reckon we will steal a draw…

    no, TV is not a DM, instead we want to play with 3 central backs, what it is a not bad ideaand put Sagna and gibbs like false wingers.

  84. vida says:

    Vermaelen lack positional awareness and concentration got everthing else. I believe wenger would have moved vermaelan to DM if he had DM capabilties. Then, we could have bought Vertonghen to play CB. BossKos/BFG and Vertoghen could have been strong partnership.
