    The big difference this year is the number of players weve let go without replacing. Things are almost so bad I wish we had kept Gerv, well almost...

    We were happy to see him move, thinking he is going to be replaced immediately.

    Lads.

    I've said it before but I still cannot believe it. We've 150million in cash. And only 2 centre backs.

    It's unbelievable.

    We have 17 players who should be fit on Saturday, not even enough to fill the bench. That's not including the niggles for Walcott, Sagna, Ramsey and Rosicky. Hilarious.

    from @arsenalgent on twitter:

    Our Fellaini, who art in heaven,
    Marouane be thy Name.
    Thy Higuain not come.
    The deal not done in earth,
    As it is was in Napoli.
    Give us this day our daily Bernard
    And forgive us our Jovetic.
    As we forgive Cesc who trespassed against us.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    But deliver us from Benayoun.
    For Suarez is the kingdom,
    The Cesar, and the Rooney,
    For Arteta's not better.

    No men.


    :D

    No, the only ones who have gone full retard are the fans. Especially in this thread. At the moment, this thread is the most embarrassing thing about being an Arsenal fan.

    Before you disagree, remember that an Arsenal fans last night, in all honesty, thought we should sign Jonjo ****ing Shelvey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭speedboatchase


    New quotes from William tonight are him practically begging to join Liverpool. He'd be a starter for us. We should get our Dick (Law) out and give it a whirl.

    Bendtner is not a bad option, can easily do a job as back up to Giroud. Would love to see him put his head down because there 20 goals a season there and could save us £25m

    You don't think it's retarded that unless we sign a player before Saturday and likely not have him even train with the squad before the match that we may well have to go to the reserves to fill the bench for the very first match of the season?

    The most embarrassing thing is having loads of money a small squad and not spending anything with a day to go before the league kicks-off.
    Regardless of Suarez there are other positions to be filled. We have the bare bones of a squad BUT loads of money.

    Out of curiosity, as someone who has long said Arsenal and Wenger needs to go their separate ways for the past three/four years or so, IF he were to leave then who would you guys want to take over right now or well, in one years time hypothetically speaking?

    Just to add, in those four years or so it was always my belief that Pellegrini was the man to take over. Other names I'd have thought over the past few years would be Garcia, Villas Boas (pre-Chelsea), Blanc, Favre, De Boer or Montanier.

    Before you say it, Klopp is out of the question :D

    and the lad who suggested jonjo was wrong. but seriously, are you saying its not retarded that the 4th richest club in the world has 11 fit senior players?

    come on. its dreadful mismanagement.
    the fact that we're in this position is the most embarrassing thing about being an arsenal fan.

    This thread is turning into a f*cking joke.

    How many times can people write a post that says the exact same thing that about 100 posts before it have said?

    I get it, we're all frustrated, we NEED to sign players and the squad isn't good enough. I know, I feel it too, believe me. But for the love of God can we give it a rest for a while and perhaps just talk about something other than our lack of transfer activity.

    They'll hardly spend 30m? Maybe with the new tv deal and dealings so far. Hardly though?

    Maybe it'll force them sell Suarez ;-)

    A year ago I was saying Moyes or Pellegrini (in April, actually http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=84394094) and was told they were not high enough standard for us :rolleyes: Realistically, I'd like Laudrup. Unrealisticaly, Klopp.

    It all depends on a lot of things. How much money will be available is a massive issue.

    If he does leave next season I expect some people will get some surprises about his management over the last decade.

    Klopp would be my first choice and has been for a while now. It probably wont ever happen, but he would be my choice. After that, I dont really care. I dont care if it's a relative unknown if he does the job. How many people knew Wenger when we signed him?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,608 ✭✭✭cathalio11


    Gareth Barry gives you at least 40 games a season of solid performances.
    I would welcome him at the club.

    I feel that a lot of the negativity surrounding him comes from the fact he is just one of those City players that don't stand out. But if he was still starring for Villa, I say a lot more Arsenal fans would be excited once hearing we are linked.

    He is a very fit individual who I'd love to have if his wages weren't pathetic.

    That being said, he is not the marquee signing that we are looking for, by any stretch of the imagination.

    Going by what a couple friends in Amsterdam have said, he's expected to take over the Ajax job in a year or two time.

    Would your fans generally be happy in taking such a risk to get him now or next season knowing that it very well could take at least a year to find his feet?

    It all depends on a lot of things. How much money will be available is a massive issue.

    If he does leave next season I expect some people will get some surprises about his management over the last decade.

    From reading this thread, if it's just simply a case of Wenger penny pinching and being utterly stubborn despite the cash being there, who would you want then (again, assuming in money is indeed there to spend)?

    Fine for a utility player but he's 32. I'd rather someone who will push to succeed Arteta and is a lot younger.

    One of the things I am dreading about the week-end is if/when Wilshere or Gibbs go down hurt or show a sign of limping.

    That will be a nervous time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,435 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    And so it begins.........or continues

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2394894/Mikel-Arteta-injury-He-miss-weeks-torn-quadricep.html
    the results have shown a tear, meaning the midfielder is likely to miss over a month of the new season.

    Arteta will miss the vital Champions League qualification double header against Fenerbahce as well as the opening batch of Premier League games.

    Arteta's thigh is just the latest injury problem for Wenger, who is already without Thomas Vermaelen, Nacho Monreal and Abou Diaby.

    Furthermore, Bacary Sagna is facing a race against time to be fit for the season-opener against Aston Villa on Saturday after sustaining an ankle injury whilst on international duty for France.


    Arteta out for 6 weeks
