First things first, Ade if you’re reading this we apologise for ripping into you yesterday after we all read the Daily Mail back page.
We said, if it wasn’t true, go on Arsenal.com and say so, you did, a little late mind, but you did, so Arsenal, go sue the shit out of the Daily Mail, maybe the money we get would fund a player!
Shame Hleb hadn’t the same class as Adebayor, unless he does something soon I think he should be shoved in the stiffs for a season, greedy bastard, just like Flamini, shit for 3 years, 1 good season and he wants out.
The Sun says we’ve signed Ben Arfa for £16 million and we have been alerted over Richards as he ponders his future, well after yesterdays debacle, I’ll wait and see what Arsenal.com say about that.
Top four Tottenham joker Jenas says they can finish above Arsenal next season, they say that every season don’t they? they can’t even finish in the top ten yet they still tell the press they can finish above us, what a complete bunch of talentless wankers, enough time spent on them, that’s probably more than’s been said than all the blog sites in Tottenham this week, both of them!
There is a chance that someone can get Samir Nasri from LOM for £12 million, please let it be us, he is just what we need, Hleb like but with an end product, bring him in and sling Hleb out, or at least give him some competition.
Have Ben Arfa out wide and Ramos at center back and we’d do anyone, that would have me licking my lips, that’s for sure.
A word on 80’s muppet ‘SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER’S’ very own, Kevin Keegan, he tells the world that to break into the top 4 would take £150 million, whilst south coast’s ‘dodgy’ muppet backed him up, and he’s spent zillions himself, as well as benefiting hugely from our benevolence.
Funny that, I thought Newcastle had spent as much as the Mancs and the scousers over the Premiership years, Kev son, do your homework before you open your gob, you twat.
Same of course could be said of us over Ade (get the facts first) but as soon as we found out it was rubbish, we retracted, and that’s the way professions handle situations, know when you’ve made a huge mistake and do something about it, are you reading Arsenal???
Regarding Kompany, from what Ive seen very good player but I am not sure if he is good in the air so might not need him. He seems to like to get into attacks too much so he would not settle the defence so to speak.
I think the better opion is one of the 2 germans Metzelder or Matersacker on is 6′ 4″ and the other 6′ 6″ and germans tend to be strong and good in the air.
If not them Garay from argentina as i hear he is good and also a threat at set pieces, right now Van persie is only guy we have that pose a direct threat on set pieces, so we need to get more people who can score direct free kicks from time to time. Sometimes u might not get enough chances on open play so we need to take advantage of set pieces more.
can some1 send Wenger an email about this mertsacker if hes that good, we should get him!
I would also like to add.
When players say they admire Arsenal and the coach etc. WShy doesnt he just sign them. Its obviuos that if they say these things their heart is in the right place and would put their all into the games, and maybe a bit more loyal.
Also when we dont sign them usually they end up burning us. Eg…
Babel wanted to play for us, but it seems we let Liverpool out bid us.
He turns around and sends us out of the Champions league.
Also Torres wanted to be a gunner and look he helped to orchestrate Arenal exit out of the CL by scoring.
I can bet whoever David Villa signs for will some how end playing agaisnt us and I would ev
I would not even want to see him(Villa) scoring against us to crash our dreams once again.
I can understand not wanting to spend silly money every season but if a good player calls out we should make an effort to get them.
I think from what i read we bid 6 mil on Babel and Liverpool got him for 11mil.
That extra 5 in my opinion will not send the club into bankruptcy in the long run. It is also very possible that if we had Babel we could have won the league as we would have had another option when we had the goal drought after Eduardo’s injury. And also its possible we would be in the CL final, I am sure that would have more than made for the extra 5-6 mil on Babel.
I feel sometimes the club might be over doing the money pinching thing.
They are becoming penny wise and pound foolish.
Don’t believe a word unless it’s on Arsenal.com or I hear it straight from the Professor’s mouth
Babel wasnt super good this season, he did score the consolation goal. some of the other games i saw him play were not that special, however in a better team he might be good!
about apologising to ade..u should think a bit before you believe what you read in the shittest anti-arsenal & all foreigner racist paper in the world..the daily mail….shame on you! but u’ve redeemed urself so its ok!lol
So Wenger to make quick signings to reassure the fans…

and Gilberto to stay!

Thats gotta be so good news for all concerned?
Back with a bump in tomorrows papers
Firstly the only transfer hint in the NOTW is for that well known world beater
Wait for it
David Dunne
Honestly the Giants of European Football must be quaking. Seriously I know its only speculation but come on journos you can do better than that. I just hope Arsene does
Story reads
ARSENAL are weighing up a shock cut-price £1million deal for Manchester City’s defensive skipper Richard Dunne.
The Republic of Ireland international will be available for that knockdown figure under a FIFA regulation that allows him to buy out the remaining year of his contract.
MNewcastle are also interested in signing Dunne but the lure of Champions League football and a £45,000-a-week contract offer from the Gunners could tempt him.
Ideally Arsene Wenger would like Dunne’s partner Micah Richards but he would not be able to compete with Manchester United, Chelsea or even Tottenham in the race for the £20m-rated England star.
But Dunne, who has fallen out with the City hierarchy over his backing for boss Sven Goran Eriksson, represents a value-for-money alternative for Wenger, who is seeking to bolster his faulty central defence.
i dont know about this Jean Makoun, he would need to give up Cameroon for me to be keen!
i didnt see that article Pat, but it looks like we will be signing players in the next 2-3 weeks and at least on of the signings will be from the Premier league, so thats gotta be good!
Next up is the 1st words from Flamini,
MATHIEU FLAMINI admitted last night he might have stayed with Arsenal if they had won the Premier League.
The French midfielder, who will go to AC Milan in July, said: “That would have weighed in the balance. It would certainly have counted.
“I actually wanted to sign a new contract at Arsenal last July but it didn’t happen. AC Milan did so much to sign me I couldn’t refuse.”
Flamini spoke exclusively for the first time of the dilemma that faced him and the frustration that now threatens the future of Gunners stars like Alexander Hleb and Emmanuel Adebayor.
Flamini said: “What happened to us after leading the League for so long was the most painful experience I had during four years at Arsenal.
“It has hurt terribly to have invested so much of yourself, to have given everything, to have gone beyond pain and to fall short in the end.
“I hope with all my heart that Arsenal win the title next year. And I would love to play against them in the Champions League Final next year.”
Yeah the News of the World does not get picked up by News now, so you need to dig for it
the link does not work but go to there site, it is easy to find.
I am happy to pick up players from the Premier League but not at that standard. I dont really see how it improves us
Apologies too, it was meant to read Richard Dunne
pat – depends on who it is, Barry, Krancjar, Berbatov…they could be ok
And do they honestly think that with the potential use of Article 17 by Hleb, we would encourage the same antics by a Man City player
I am maybe too harsh on Richard, I know he is a steady player, I Just cant see where it improves us.
I would take Barry, but again not sure on how Krancjar improves us, Berbatov would be great but I dont think we would ever get him.
yeah i know nil about Krancjar except that hes on pompeys list.
if Berba wants out, he is quality, except we have too many strikers, so i dont think Wenger would look at him and he already looked at him once before, so it seems unlikely
Testing, testing, 1 2 3. I’m I on?
I mean am I on. Something went wrong with my link. Oh there you go my initial post appears. G’ Day everyone. Did some one mention Gerrard to arsenal???
Yes they did but they would never sell him to us and we would never spend that sort of money.
Point taken, Geoff, Cheers.
sell, sell, sell and buy buy buy!
New post up Grovers!
TOO ALL
its good to see wenger come out and tell the fans we will be impressed with his replacement signings .. I called him OUT to do it .. and logically he didnt let me down .
Even more proof that wenger must read geoffs/pedros blog !
Also i did read some wise ass earlier called wise gooner try any upset the harmony with his AKB propaganda campaign on our blog . For the record wisearse gooner it was wengers responsiblity fully RE FLAMONEY .
as he took steps to play the player for the season whilst not securing his contract , his confidence in letting diarra leave , and now we find ourselves in this predicament…
WHO DO YOU BLAME ? the bus boys ? the board ? wenger controls the player contracts and it was part of his signing agreement when he re-signed if you cant remember ..
I don’t think you can blame any other person for HIS wage structure which he says HE must protect and obey which he’s stated publicly . Likewise in the past losing players like pires due to other ridiculous other statutes like his over 30′s policies ..
These issues still need addressing or we will get a sub- class of personnel in at the club.
Everyone is accountable , no one is beyond the club , not even sir wenger .. he isnt saint wenger .. he does do wrong and i commend free spirited gunners here for voicing there opinion in a democratic forum ! HERE !
I think the opposite of you , there are many Nazi blogs out there who still rant that wenger is king and can do no wrong , i think you only have to look at the physical achievements of the club in the past 4 years to see we are not the mighty club we once were and most of us here want answers .AND WANT OUR TITLE BACK !.
WE DONT WANT MORE QUESTIONS wise gooner you fucking dipshit ! Whilst i agree i think wenger is a puppet for the clubs finances it can be proven that wenger does a lot at the club and is responsible for more than just coaching and man management , he is a manager and is responsible for his players signatures foremost !! When we let 2 good players leave on frees and websters clauses questions must be asked , and even more so , we must question wengers logic throughout the year … or why these player want to leave ? is it club spirit
Free speech is important ..if NAZISM is the way you like to read your news then go for it plenty of blogs out there that will cater for you , i can think of one straight off the bat !!! . geoff – pedro get more than enough hits on this blog everyday without your crappy ill directed comments . They top the charts in NEWS NOW . they should be commended that they are not afraid to voice an opinion and keep issues at this club honest !
WELL DONE LADS !
One player we’re not being linked to is Jeremy Menez. He’s a typical Wenger signing. I always worry when we’re being “overlinked” to a player (like Ben Arfa) because we never seem to sign those players!!! Ribery, Robinho, Modric, etc.. Wenger does love a smokescreen.

BTW: Great blog.
disappointing that a good blog like this would rip into our top scorer based on crap printed in the likes of the sun and other toe rag papers
what a bunch of naive twats – honestly – really poor
Fuck Adebayour off from Arsenal . He is a piece of shitte. The swap deal with Eto’o is fantastic. Injury prone Robin can be swap with Henry tho… Just let Hleb go, if wants to. We can get Quaresma to replace him on the right hand side of our midfield. Ben Arfa on the left will be marvelous with Febregas & Yaya in the heart of our midfiled. Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy, Kalou Toure & Micah Richards can form a fantastic back four a head of Almunia. Fabianski can be his quality backup goalkeeper. Other player’s to offload for some $$$ to buy palyer’s are : 26. Bendtner, 7. Rosicky, 2. Diaby, 10. Gallas, 6. Sanderos & 31. Hoyte.
Arsenal team for 2008/2009 season :
1. Almunia
3. Sagna
5. Toure (c)
6. Richards
2. Clichy
7. Quaresma
16. Yaya
4. Febregas
8. Ben Arfa
10. Eto’o
14. Henry
Supersubs :
21. Fabianski
17. Ebue
20. Djourou
18. Norveidt
22. Traore
15. Denilson
19. Gilberto
13. Song
12. Vela
9. Eduardo
11. Walcott
Cheers
I Have nothing against Rihard Dunne but he is hardly the strong CB we need I dont see how we would need him Richards yes Dunne no,
The players apart from him we are being linked with sound good so far Yaya,Ben Arfa,Kranjcar,Kompany
Good stuff keep it up AW
GMR,there is a small flaw in your arguement re Wenger and your view that he is being hypocrytical re A.C Milan’s perceived illegal approach.You seem to have forgotten that there is no law(withn football) preventing Arsene’s approach to recruiting the likes of Cesc Fabrigas,although understandably it infuriates the likes of Barcelona.However there is a law preventing a club approaching a player directly when he has over a certain period left to run on his contact.So what exactly do you find that is so embarrassing about Arsene pointing this out?I would be fascinated to see this quote that you refer to which shows Arsene “inferring that Arsenal’s entire history is clean.”
Loved the comments about the yids man.. hilarious!!!
