		<description>Hitman, How can u knock Flamini - the geezer is a holding midfielder and makes endless tackles throughout the games and not mentioning the 8 miles odd he runs a game, i can see that chap beeing captain in the future.

you said our centre mids r light weight, why would u  want Diarra back then?</description>

		<description>The following need to be axed. In order of shiteness

1) Hleb - biggest waster in world football. Creates few chances, scores even less. Lighweight in every sense of the word. Has a Phd in Futile Possession.  We should get Goodnews is that we can get £12-14m on his sale

2) Eboue - cant cross, cant shoot, cant pass. No vision. OMG,  how did he become a footballer ? Good news is that AC Milan want him. £8m if we play our cards right.

3) Gilberto - Stalwart but his legs have gone. Respect, but time to move on.

4). Rosicky - good player. Probably our most creative midfilder. But can do anything for the team from the treatment table. Losing him meant losing our creativity. Probably the main reason we have faded away. Sorry but this is a ruthless game. You gotta go. If we can flog him may get £8m  

5) Flamini - Hard working but not a great player.  I dont like Fabs/Flam partnership as it is too small and too slow. Other teams are overpowering our defence. Man reason why our defence is not protected. He will probably leave anyway. Diarra was the better player. Wnger should have kept him instead.

6) Hoyte - Not good enough. Aston Villa will pay £3m just for being English. Cash in

7) Lehman - respect Mad Jens hope you have a good EURO2008. enjou retirement

8) Djourou - Not good enough. £2m maybe?

9) Diaby  - Must get rid of this waste of space. The guy is an imbecile. Can run, falls over too often. Does not have any power for such a tall lad. Another Eboue in the making. To think we saw him a the new PV4!  

We must keep the following:

1. Fabregas - disappointed with 2nd part of season. Cesc has some limitations which he must work on.     Speed and power. To become world class he must develop these qualities. OK he cant become quicker but must learn to make powerful runs. Must pass less and counter attack quicker.  Failure to speed the game up when required has been the cause of our demise and Cesc must take some of the blame. He also needs a rest.

2. Ade. A much improved player. But he has many drawback. Not enough pace. Not enough ball control. Lacks Vision. Needs to reduce his ego. Needs to accept he is not a great player  and keep his game simple and play to his strenghs. Needs to put away the easy chances.   

3. RVP - Needs to remain injury free. Goes without saying

4. Walott - Star in the making. Wont be good as Ronaldo as he doesnt have the same box of tricks but will be the best player in the Arsenal team in 4/5 years time.  Will pay his way next season for starters

5. Denilson - needs game time but will be goon enough in a couple of seasons 

6. Bentner - disappointed somewaht but still good enough.  One for the future

7. Traore - will come good but not ready for first team action 

Anybody else I have not mentioned should remain.

The problem with Arsenal as everybody has said is the lack of depth.  We need some world class players wif we are to win league next year.  
To make life easier for the reader I will list our problems:
1) Lack of pace through put the team. Especially in midfield.
2) Lack of power - epecially in Mid/defence. We need bigger stronger taller players
3) Lack of goals. Wenger has assembled a team of non goalscorers. Hleb, Fab, Rosicky. Flams do not score enough. Ade Bendtner miss too many.  No one in Arsenal team can shoot to save his life (except RVP)
4) Lack of creativity cause by all of the above ans also ball skills. Its all predictable  passing at a slow pace.  Where are all the dribblers and flare players? We need a balanced squad 

Solution. Get cheque book out Mr Wnegr as the current sqau is not good enough
My shopping list would be
1) World class striker   - capable of 30 plus goals per season
2) Two worl class Wingers - who can score 15plus goals each person and create and make many more assists.
3) Big tall central midfielder
4) Big tall physical centre half          

These five players would be enough to win league.

If we dont spend we wont be able to keep up with MUFC and Chavs.</description>

		<description>I read somewhere that Wenger only buys youth because it protects him against over-expectancy from the fans. Maybe we should keep an eye on this, as it is clear as day that the team needs more quality in key positions. Wenger said the other day that everybody expected Arsenal to finish 10-12th this season. This is bullshit, Arsenal have only finished below 12th twice in the last 35 years! I think everybody expected Champions League football, but not to win the Premiership.

However, next season will be a different story. At the end of this season, it will be 4 years without a trophy except for a lucky FA Cup win on penalties. It&#039;s time to deliver. I think Wenger should begin to come under pressure next season if he does not deliver at least one trophy. The FA Cup should be taken more seriously, the fans love it and I am outraged that Wenger is throwing this competition because he misguidedly believes we can win others. GET A BIGGER SQUAD FOR GOD SAKE. Arsenal should not be throwing big trophies!

I advise Wenger purchase Mertesacker and Schweinsteiger, to mid-twenties Germans with steel and power. Toure should be dropped and another wide man is essential. If Wenger cannot find these players he needs to buy similar.</description>

		<description>Wenger said Diaby is better than Vieira was at his age - i do NOT think so.

Hleb needs to learn how to shoot, Rosicky Needs some anti biotics  and Eboue needs to FUCK RIGHT off

Adebayor Cesc and Flamini have all done so fucking well.

Cased Closed.

and maybe wenger has lost it .</description>

		<description>I respect AW a lot, however, it frustrates, or even infuriates, me a great deal to see him field players out of positions week in week out.  I hate seeing Diaby in left wing, but that doesn&#039;t mean he is a bad player. His potential as a CM shone through last year against Derby.</description>

		<description>i think denilson is a good player far better than diaby but just because these guys are not given chances .arsene does not want to rest fabregas against the weaker teams  that why we have lost everything fabregas looks tired .but i believe denilson can play just as good as the other players</description>

		<description>Thanks you Geoff. For once Arsenal supporters are realising that AW is not a genius manager as we all Arsenal fans believed he is. A good example is; when we played MANU in FA cup, he rested the few talents he had and what was the result? Psychological blow for all. That was the turning point for AFC season. I think it is time as supporters to let AW know how bad we feel about our performances, we also need to tell him to recruit readymade starts doesn’t matter how much they cost. AW must realise that he is not managing his household finance, but a club that have history and supporters everywhere. It’s our obligation to criticise AW policies on transfer market, we also need to tell him that; Diaby, Bentner, Lehman, Traore, Ebou are not good enough to play for AFC. Let’s bring some changes and made our voice heard by AW and his board. VIVA AFC we’ll never die..</description>

		<description>Just a side thought - where the hell has Denilson been for the last two months? He has had two brief spells as a substitute in two months. He doesn&#039;t even make the bench anymore, and he&#039;s not on the Arsenal.com injury list. Has he really regressed that much? I really can&#039;t work that one out, when we are crying out for some bodies to reinforce the midfield. He&#039;s 20 years old now, he&#039;s not 16, what&#039;s stopping him playing?</description>
