Proof that Arsene Wenger does not trust Wojciech Szczesny!

Wojciech Tomasz Szczesny – who is looking more and more likely to start the new season with the number shirt and gloves cannot be trusted and here is the proof:

Whilst all our other players are captured doing a bit of wight training, poor old Chesney is restricted to just a ‘pole’ 😉

Wonder if that’s got anything to do with a previous incident in the gym when he ended up fracturing both his wrists…..

Ok, you know I jest, I’m sure there is some logic behind this excercise but I’m just a bit fed up with writing doom and gloom about Arsenal….

🙂

One bit of news that broke yesterday which I was so pleased about was Wes Brown and O’Shea had been signed by Sunderland, I was so worried that Wenger might go and pick up another couple of Manure rejects like he did with Silvestre, jeez, that would have just about finished me off…

However, there is one other from ‘up there’ who I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Wenger nab and that’s Owen Hargreaves, yes, I know I have said about this before.

He’s been touting himself on youtube, showing he’s fit and ready to play again so I won’t be surprised to see him secured on a pay as you play deal – wouldn’t be a bad one either, would it??

However, a bit of bad news and that surrounds Jonathon Woodgate, he has now left that scum bunch down the road and is looking for a new club….

Yep, you know what I am thinking don’t you – please Arsene NO, do not go there!!

Oh and amidst all the Nasri speculation – not one club has made a bid for him so all this paper talk about the Mancs offering £20 Million is utter poppycock – so stop reading the red tops right now guys!!!

Finally, today is the day we are meant to hear about our second signing of the summer, well second if you don’t count the Barca kids 😉

Wonder just how many will follow…….

Have a good one all……

Scesszny is Polish no wonder he can only train with a pole whereas team mates are lifting some weights. Good one though.
Why is so difficult for us to complete a deal whereas the likes of even Sunderland can complete theirs within a day? This for me is the biggest puzzle of the same magnitude like how to stop Messi

Sunderland’s ambitions lie possibly in reaching the top 10 and hopefully qualifying for the UEFA cup.Thats why they are clear about their targets . And they don’t have teams unsettling their best players . Personally I think Arsene is waiting possibly because he wants the Cesc & Nasri saga sorted out so that he can move on to sign the players he may have already identified as replacements .

For a long time I am enjoying the discussion going on here. Very positive and purposeful. Thi is definately a good site and other bloggers should learn from Rico on how we can remain positive despite all that is going on or happening with our a great club. I am somehow very very positive that this coming season we will have a very strong squad and injuries will for once give us a break. If the Gervinho deal is done. we keep hold of THEOVANSRIGAS force intact and additional bodies (2) at the back, then we are good to go and yes bring on Messi once again and as Rico says kick him (stop him)

Gervinho and Mata are completely different players.Mata is a quick version of nasri but not as flashy.he is a better passer but nasri is better at dribbling.Gervinho is what we hope walcott can do on the wing consistently.he is very good at dribbling and is very fast. better passer but nasri is better at dribbling.Gervinho is what we hope walcott can do on the wing consistently.he is very good at dribbling and is very fast.

Here we go….. I think wenger leaving now would be terrible for the club. He is very close to both cesc and nasri, having turned them both into stars. If he went it could cause even more instability and uncertainty. Remember what alot of liverpool fans thought of rafa. He was proven to be doing good with a bad lot. At asenal our current team is built around a certain game that wenger has put in place. Another manager would struggle to be as effective with our players,tactics because of our set up. If we improve in defence both at the back and as a team, if we are more productive at converting chances, we’ll be the best in england.

Morning folks,

On the Gervinho/Mata thing.. Gervinho on the right and Mata on the left; if that’s true (and it’s as close to a sane scenario as I’ve heard this window)looks like Wenger is going to improve our width.

All ifs, buts, and maybes, but… if he is going to improve the width and place less reliance on our intricate passing through the middle,which is how we get stuffed every time, he’s gonna need something more waiting to knock in the resulting cross than RVP (with Theo as back-up).

He’s gonna need someone who can use his head and maybe offer us an old-fashioned Joe Baker style bustler down the middle… someone with a little more end-product and a little less front than Bendtner… kinda like Benzema perhaps?

Oh God! If wishes were horses, beggars would ride, and Arsenal would have a defence to build from…

Maybe next week 😆

I don’t understand why we never got Given. We should have bought him from newcastle a few years back. We needed (and still need) an epl experienced backup gk. Shay would fit that bill. Surely we could have got a swap + money for clichy? seems he wants out of city too…..

Anyways, what about michael johnson? he looked good a few years back. anyone know much about him

It’s Friday.. No news. We leave for Asia soon. I really believed things were going to be different this year. I really thought Wenger was going to be “active” and sign some big players.

DEFENCE. DEFENCE. DEFENCE. DEFENCE.

Right now I don’t care about Gervinho or romurs regarding any attacking players. Sure it would be nice to add some flair up front, but everyone knows we need defenders. Thats plural by the way. Not just one big signing, but 2 or 3 quality players that provide enough depth on the bench to allow us to rotate, rest, and recover our back line… which in turn should help us avoid the injuries we’ve seen in recent years. Or at least provide a fall back if one should occur.

So far, all we’ve done is sign some kid and lost a starter.

Speculation over the future of Fabregas seems to have no end. According to British newspaper “Metro”, Barcelona is now proposing the inclusion of Arsenal in the business Abidal, to lower the price of the Spanish international.
Maxwell can also be included in business since Barca want to take advantage of the fact that Arsenal have no valid options to the left side of defense, after the departure of Clichy for the City.
Arsenal remains adamant not to sell their captain for at least 50 million euros, according to British press.
Cesc Fabregas, however, has said that Arsenal will not play in the season ahead.
