Not necessarily. Why have there been no rumours of us signing another CB? Jenkinson was always a CB in his youth days, and Arsene has dropped hints before that that's where he seems him in the long term.

Would be all four him being our fourth choice. Looks too awkward for right back. We still have Djourou on the books too so we dont really need a 4th CB atm.

Great kid too, when I was at the Emirates I was looking for his commemoration to his grandfather.

He actually has two on opposite sides outside the emirates because one of the blocks is grammatically incorrect

one says 'Grandad hope you're proud'

and the other 'Grandad hope your proud'

Seeing as we are close to 10,000 posts (with the rate we are going, it'll only be a couple of days), I vote Mickeroo makes the thread again. Definitely not Gav after how the previous one went!

:mad:

I'll be watching the post count like a hawk, soon as it gets to 10K......BOOOOOM.

Thread ruined. :pac:

Check the arsenal website, he's still up there as an Arsenal player, infact he only came back in to the official team after the loan spell at Hamburg, it's a weird one.

I don't think that's been confirmed by either club though.

So now that Sanchez is pretty much sorted I just waned to say

fück yeah!!

Thats a great signing for us, and all for less then 30million!!

Hold your horses young man, there's still a way to go, until i see him on the arsenal website with an arsenal jersey on i'm holding off on my celebratory fapping session.

He could be just another Lamela

HazDanz

We need a v good DM.

I think this more than any other signing will be the most benificial to how balanced our team is this season.


We need the security of someone in midfield to put up their hands and say I've got you covered to the other midfielders and it's a person we haven't had for years. If we get a very good DM we will be serious title contenders.

You mean it's too soon for this?

shano_88

We are not signing Alexis Sanchez.

GavRedKing

Lads, the reverse jinx didnt end to well last year for Liverpool, if ye keep saying it he'll end up at QPR or something. :pac:

Anyway, if ye do get him and ye look nailed on, ye'll be in with a great chance of the league if ye stay injury free in key areas.

Its grand, Sanchez's barber says he's an Arsenal player.

shano_88

So the party line has gone from we haven't won a trophy in 9 years to we've only won 1 trophy in 9 years. Brilliant!

Ornstein just tweeted the medical will be later today but he won't be unveiled at the kit launch.

Bob is right. He is on our retained list too.

Now it could be a case of a gentlemans agreement in place with Hamburg and Arsenal are just holding on to him until they see how the Vermaelen situation pans out or perhaps pending getting another centre back.

Muirshin Durkin

Jesus, Sanchez is really happening isnt it, i cant believe it.

That certainly makes sense, i'd prefer nearly anyone to Djourou tbh

Mickeroo

I know he'll be linked with everyone under the sun today, but what about Vlaar as a short term option? Only a year left on his contract, would be happy to play second fiddle in a CL team I reckon.

Should that not be two trophies in nine years? FA cup in 2005 along with the FA cup in 2014.


Either way it is a pretty stupid thing for people to be trying to use to bait others with. With the exception of Man U and Chelsea, no other club in the Premiership has won more than two or three of the main pieces of silverware during the past nine years.

Vlaar is like Big Richie Dunne. If there are legs around him and the one on ones are in the air or tight spaces he looks great but if not he is more Cygan

Senderos was part of that clean sheet run in the CL 2006.

Zinedine Cygan is a hero.

The other two, good god.

Silvestre because not only was he sh!te he was also ex-Man U

Raf32 wrote: »

In Silvestre's defence, he was a decent full back in his time but was over the hill and crocked when we got him. Was never really a centre half. More of a makeshift.
For me Squillachi was the worst although Senderos runs him a close second. The night at Anfield that he crouched down and let Sami Hyppia score that easy header was sinful.

HazDanz

Squillaci - still convinced he was an alien acting like a footballer.

Rumours Khedira has rejected a new contract at Real Madrid and is pushing for a move to Arsenal.

When you start buying world class players, everyone want to join its seems!
