Hungry Nasri / Yaya we’ll take him / £20million man on way? / Spanish Tax

by & filed under Uncategorized.

So it seems the crazy Frenchman who certainly did go to specsavers (You can’t knock Ray’s specs, very stylish) decided it fit to send Diaby to the World Cup over Nasri.  Some say it’ll make him hungry for next season, it could be argued the little podger has been hungry all season, but not for football if you get what I mean…

Nasri has been something of an enigma. We’ve seen sublime moments of skill and composure, then we’ve seen nothing as he fails to impose himself for large swathes of a game.

After watching him control the Porto game I thought I’d be eating a massive piece of humble pie after my early season derision of his team input. He dominated their midfield in a Cesc+ kind of way. After that though, the pressure got to him and he failed to give the remainder of the season the spark it needed. He’s played 25 games, scored 5 and bagged 4 assists.

Is that a good return on £12million? Well, it’s not the worst. Alex Hleb managed 3 goals and 6 assists in his second season. I can’t help but think more Arsenal fans would be in favour of Hleb than Nasri… at least he assisted the assister!

Does Nasri enjoy English football or is he waiting for the right time to make a move to a more suitable league like La Liga?

Does anyone else think Arsenal.com reporting on transfers is an odd move which only goes to highlight how desperate they are for more money? I have a list of how they could improve the site without lowering themselves to idle gossip more fit for a place like Le Grove!

1. Employ some Arsenal fans to oversee the operation.

2. Think twice before comparing a poor player to a great player

3. Report on your own exclusives at least within a month of them happening.

Competing with the blogs and transfer websites seems a little petty. It’d be like Denilson joining a Sunday league team in the summer to make himself feel good about his skills (He wouldn’t dare would he?).

Stick to what your good at Arsenal.com… errr…?

I’ve read that Gallas is finally going to fly the Arsenal nest. He’s had a good season and formed a mean partnership with Vermaelen, however, you can’t deny the facts. We’ve shipped lots of goals and they can’t all be apportioned at the keepers gloves. Overall, you’d have to say his signing was a failure. His pathetic tantrum at Birmingham cost us team spirit for the run in, his unhelpful comments in the media have never been applauded by the Arsenal fans and his failed captaincy will live on in memory.

Time for a change I think. That makes 2 new defensive signings a priority I think. I hope Wenger looks to the Premiership for his defenders. That way, you avoid the 6 month bedding in period. I can’t help but agree with Geoff. Someone like Shawcross (Like, not actually him), Jagielka or Cahill would be a good start.

Sol Campbell proved many years ago that your defenders don’t need to have Brazilian skill on the ball. First and foremost, they need to live for the art of defending. We’ve got our stylish defender in the superb Vermaelen, now we need a thug defender who lives for clean sheets and know’s how to marshall an efficient back line.

I have a sneaky suspicion that we’ll be bidding for a player like Melo or Yaya Toure (Who is 90% certain to leave Barca). On the Brazilian, it’s important to note that you don’t become a rubbish player over night. Just because Melo has had a bad season with Juve, it doesn’t mean he is now no longer a good player. Look at Forlan and Ribery. Two players who had terrible problems at certain clubs in their careers, now they’re flourishing and turning out in European Cup Finals. If we signed one of the aforementioned players, Song could be used as a back up defender and we’d have experienced steel in the middle of the park.

Song has done very well this season, of that there is no doubt. The problems came when he started picking up injuries. I’m not prepared to accept another season with Denilson as our back up enforcer. More importantly, can Wenger risk another season with him in the middle? If he truly know’s the weaknesses in the team, surely he’ll have identified his lack of work ethic and his weak physical attributes as a problem?

I know Rambo could play that role long-term, but without meaning to sound brutal… we’ve seen what a snapped leg/ankle does to form and mentality. Lets face it, even if he’s back this summer, his head wont be for at least a year.

The goalkeeping conundrum is a tough one. Sure we’d all love to see Buffon step between the sticks but let’s be realistic. £20million doesn’t really buy you a much better keeper than £8million. Buffon has an aura about him because he’s been pretty much the best since he was 22. However, an astute signing like Schwarzer of Fulham while we wait for Chesney to do his apprenticeship would certainly steady the ship. I’ve heard that Joe Hart will not be allowed to leave. So, why not pinch a solid keeper from one of our rivals for a few seasons? It makes sense to me!

On that note, well played Fulham. They more than matched Madrid last night showing passion, fight and supreme discipline well into extra time. In the end, quality ended their dreams… but they made the Premiership proud and showed the strength we have throughout our competitive league.

So in conclusion? I’d say we’re now about 4 additional players short of making a really good go of next season. We’ve got the GPS injury preventers in the dressing room so we know that there is a very strong likelihood of an emptier medical room next season. Combine that with some experienced players with the hunger to win and we could find ourselves with a fit squad and a cutting edge mentality to match.

Wouldn’t that be great?

P.S. Gooner-Pak sent me an e-mail yesterday which gave me an idea! Why don’t you guys start your own transfer rumour list on another page? At the end of the season, we can count up how many players we were linked with. So, at the top of the menu, click the transfer page, add the link and write down the projected fee and the players name! I can’t do it by myself… so I’ll need your help on this one!

TRANSFER GOSSIP

Right… see you in the comments!

UPDATE: According to one of the Grovers, as part of the Spanish budget austerity package, the lower tax rate for foreigners has been increased to 43%. Who’d move for 7% eh (Anelka… I know)? I think that means a 20% pay cut for all of Spain’s foreign footballers!

It’s not funny… honestly, I definitely wouldn’t want to be Ronaldo when he opens his pay slip this month!

    I think Cesc will stay. He is our most important player without a doubt. If Cesc goes, expect massive reconstruction of this team, as the way we currently play is basically based off him.

    I guess Gourcuff or Ozil could try to replace him but that sounds dubious to me. Maybe a 4-4-2 with RVP Chamakh up front, Song and another CM, and a winger?

  2. gooner-pak

    i can wish he stays for atleast a year…….but then pwwfffffff whole team is build around him – he is key member of project youth ONLY IF WE REINVEST WISELY I”LL BE HAPPY TO LET HIM OFF. BUT ALL MONEY NEED TO BE SPENT ON PLAYERS AND NOT PLACED IN SOME TIME DEPOSIT

  3. luke

    Hugo Lloris
    Sanga-CB-Verm-Clichy
    Nasri-Song-Toulalan-Arshavin
    ———–RVP———Chamakh

    If cesc goes?

  4. luke

    Id love this for next year:

    GK
    Sagna-CB-Verm-Clichy
    Cesc-Song-Toure/Melo
    Chamakh-RVP-Arsh

    Subs: Almunia, Eboue, Sol, Diaby, Nasri, Walcott, Bendtner

  5. gooner-pak

    choy.. i dont get this buy thing.. last year vp was saying i’ll stay if we buy some player and he signed the contract after wards with only one addition
    what if they promise and buy f**k all

  6. gooner-pak

    and what about news that we paid him 3m to ward off barca… it seems fake if this dailymail news clip is authentic

  7. luke

    The positive thing this summer about buying is that we seem to be ditching a lot of “wage wasters”

    Silvestre:50K
    Senderos
    Gallas
    Eduardo?

    This will free up wages so we can buy players. It seems Wenger’s argument against spending is that he can’t afford the wage bill even with a transfer kitty. This summer it seems he doesnt have that excuse. (Trying to be optimistic)

  8. choy

    It could just be useless journalism as well!

    They have nothing to talk about.. so stir some shit up!

  9. SongtheGreat

    afternoon all

    cesc in the news again….well i have only one thing to say…if there’s any truth to this we should give cesc a cold shoulder and good riddens…feck off…who made him ??…and it only proves to be a true Arsenal Legend…well one have to be a special Man…not a young boy…

    and i must say im so feckin tired of this cesc business im actually hoping he goes…

  10. gooner-pak

    luke best way to not get disheart or bit hurt at the end of transfer window is to assume we will be hardly buying one player
    on plus side wenger interview in which says i’ll buy b4 WC says there will be usual one two out going players

  11. gooner-pak

    nad by plus side i meant he will have to fill the gap and this one/two players leaving could be dead wood

  12. luke

    He is definitely in for Chamakh and has repeteadly said he needs to strengthen defense, especially with Silvestre and Gallas leaving. I think we might get 3 players in. CB, (GK), Chamakh. We probably wont sign a Midfielder though (although Id love us too with Ramsey needing time to get back to full strength).

  13. gambon

    If the bookies are putting Cesc at odds on then i think he’s going.

    How on earth will we replace him?

  14. patthegooner

    I dont think you can replace him Gambon.

    All you can do is add depth instead of that incredible quality.

    Maybe Arteta and Toure could be the answer.

    If Cesc is to go though, I think we may as well bite the bullet and have a mass overhaul.

  15. gambon

    If he wants to use the same formation then Gourcuff.

    If he wants to go 4-4-2 then get some creative wide players in, i suppose.

    This is the problem ive been saying with a youth policy for years. You cant expect a kid to move to London at 18 and still be here when he hits his prime at 28.

  16. Pat

    Although, if the story did originate in the DailyMail, I’d take it with a grain of salt. They still call the Europa League the Uefa European Cup. Idiots

  17. patthegooner

    And I am Pat

    I actually dont think there is any truth in the story at all. I think he will still be here next season, but if he isnt then I wish him all the best. A great player.

  18. incesc

    cesc is a young guy who is captain of arsenal playing in the champions league and idolised world wide.

    Im sure he is fine. Dont be so dramatic.

  19. leon

    i cannot believe gallas realy wants 90k 2 year contract deal there is no way gallas is going get that and he does not deserve it,dont get me wroung is good defender but is not proper leader and clearly not a commanding leader like adams was or sole,not realy sure what will happen with sole as he is 35 next season will 36, i am mixed fealings on that because he has been exceptional not alot better than gallas ever has but he willonly get 1 year contract i think 20k,wenger has stated he just looking for one cb so it looks as if he intends to offer sole another contract but will have to look again next season,in the six months sole has been here he has done twice the job gallas has ever done,it does look as if wenger will get another midfielder.the one thing you can say about wenger he gives his players alot of time alot more than other managers would.in my opinion players like wilcatt delinson diaby almunia these players will have to produce in the summer as i have little dought they will be sold in fact it would suprise me if wenge sell almunia i count fabianski as he had limited chances until end of this season he is player that is extremly low in confedence which is big nono this unforgiving legue,i think vela will be sold if not this summer or next

  20. incesc

    its going to be “cesc to barce” every day of every transfer window untill he finally goes.

    get over it, hes not going this year, if he does hes a lot more stupid than i thought…

  21. 78692

    Buffon is causing all kinds of trouble on and off the field for Juventus , he openly is blaming this years failure on players and staff and also complains regularly about the lack of adequate protection from his aging, slow back line….this means he is unhappy and disgruntled and he constantly tells his agent and the Italian media wants to leave for a major club , like Bayern Munich (who need a good GK) , and Manchester United (who need a world-class replacement for 40 year old GK Van Der Sar).

    Arsenal are an outside bet , because they cannot compete for the Champions League & EPL titles unlike Bayern , Man Utd , and Barcelona (who want a keeper to rival Madrid’s Casillas )

    By Zunga a well respected Italian Journalist.

  22. gambon

    Incesc

    Why would he be stupid?

    No one wants him to go but from an objective point of view it aint a bad idea.

  23. don't believe the hype

    is this cesc to barca thing to be believed ? apparently he has told family and friends that he is barca bound

    Bob Wilson: Arsenal will buy a new Goalkeeper
    May 13, 2010

    Speaking to members of the London Freight Club at the Connaught rooms yesterday, former Arsenal great Bob Wilson told the attendees that he was privy to certain information that gave him the belief that neither Almunia nor Fabianski will be the Arsenal number one next season.

    I am sure the wider media will get hold of this story soon enough, the only reason you are reading this is owing to my accountant being present at the special lunch organised by the London Freight Club.

    Bob was invited to come along as the guest speaker, and was naturally apprehended by the gooners amongst the attendees who questioned the problem with our keepers this season.

    He spoke about the goalkeeper coaches being more than capable, but there was a need for a new, experienced, world-class keeper to join the ranks.

    He went on to confidently predict such a keeper would be joining the club this summer.

    So there you have it, I was starting to lose faith in the manager buying a keeper to be fair, there is more than ample information out in the public domain that assures us investment in the defence will be made, the attack will be boosted by Chamakh, now Arsenal goalkeeping legend Bob Wilson tells gooners he is in the know about a new “world-class” goalie joing us.

    Jaguar you realy are classic. Always banging on about fucking retards, mugs and AKBs who ‘disappear’.

    Then on Sat you make comments slating the team and manager about 20-30mins in…

    Then the tide turns and we turn it around. Where were you since then..?? I scanned the posts right thru to the end …not a fucking peep from ya.

    So next time you start calling the ‘where are they when..??’ just remember that some people have got you sussed.

    Diego Maradona, Argentina (Getty Images)Argentina coach Diego Maradona is not sorry for overlooking Inter duo Esteban Cambiasso and Javier Zanetti, and is furious with those who questioned his squad selection.

    Fans were stunned to see both men left out of the Albiceleste’s provisional 30-man World Cup squad.

    But Maradona is standing firm with his decision and has not apologised to those who were left disappointed.

    “I am only sorry for Fernando Gago. He was one of my boys, but he played too little this year and that’s why I didn’t call him up,” he told Radio Del Plata.

    “There is nothing strange and nothing to explain about Zanetti’s exclusion. It was already decided a long time ago. And as for Cambiasso, it’s the same story.”

    Whether he fails or succeeds in delivering the World Cup for the first time since 1986, Maradona is confident of continuing his tenure at the helm.

    “This is the idea, and since I took charge I started a plan not just thinking about the World Cup in South Africa, but also the Copa America,” he concluded.

    ManG – “Plus the team and players have proved a shit load of twats wrong; pundits, hacks, ex-players and a fair few “fans”…

    It has been fun watching these so-called experts having to try and worm their way out of their obituries of AFC…”

    Amen to that !!!

    I hardly bother to argue the toss with the doomers these days, its pointless. If some of them had any shame they’d acknowledge how wrong they were, but instead I get told that if we’d signed x, y and z we’d be ten points clear already. Lol.

    How mad is that..?? We’re fighting for the title and and its stil not enough. It really is win or bust for some people, which I find really odd coming from Arsenal supporters.

    Its a kind of wifebeating mentality in my book….this sort of love you-kick you relationship that some fans seem to have.

    When a spud starts slating our club, do they join in..??

    Nite all….

    Trolololololololololollllloooollooooo

  29. David

    Theyre you have it..

    The doomers for example…Lee Dixon have that Wife beating mentality!

    Trolololololololol.

  30. David

    Thats right you wife beating Doomers!

    Admit how wrong you were if you have any decency, pride, or shame!

    Doom mongering bastards…what wrong with you wife beating lot?

  31. A

    Or are you drunk?! You’re usually a bit brighter than this….

    Evening Pedro, how’s it hanging? Has everyone seen that Gerrard’s house is on the market? seems he is actually off, wonder where he’ll end up

  32. David

    Personally A,

    I think its freaking hilarious to label people who support Arsenal as having a “wife beating mentality”

    Thats quite strong dont you think?

  33. David

    A,

    Dont make me go back into the archives and pull out some magic quotes of yours…

    And I mean some very real “bright” insightful predictions of yours.

  34. A

    Why David?

    What do you think he means by saying that? You think he’s saying that Arsenal fans are wife beaters?

  35. A

    David you could do that for literally every single regular poster on here and make them look ridiculous, it wouldn’t prove anything.

    That’s the reason that football is so popular, as well as blogs like this – it’s so difficult to accurately predict, and everyone sees it differently

  36. A

    I did read what you wrote David, but I don’t understand how that is strong.

    What do you interpret a “wife beating mentality” to be?

  37. A

    noone got any whispers about stevie g? i wonder if he could end up at chelsea, or city? not sure who would want him in the big leagues, who could afford him. Inter I guess would be the main one, would he get in the Madrid team?

  38. David

    And to add more humor to an even more funny joke.

    Sharkey goes on to say that we should go on and admit how wrong we are…hahahahaha…not that Im a doomer ofcoarse.

    Im a staunch AKB! ;)

  39. A

    Nah gambon, really don’t think it’ll be this year, although i was absolutely certain and i’m not 100% confident now, but I still don’t think it makes any sense. We’ll know soon though before the world cup which is a good thing.

  40. gambon

    Cant see Inter putting him ahead of Snjeider.

    AC Milan, Madrid or Chelsea I suppose, dont think anything else is realistic.

    Where did you see his pad was up for sale?

  41. A

    David the people who said we had no chance of top 4, and no chance of finishing ahead of city at the start of the season were proved wrong, as were many people who said we’d be nowhere near the top….

  42. David

    Why are you asking me to explain that A?

    Its plain English?

    If you have a suicidal mentality and you live for 100 years what does that mean? You will kill yourself at 101?

  43. A

    Got sent it to my work email from a mate, it’s been doing the rounds.

    House on an estate agent’s website, 3.3 mil in liverpool, and in one of the photos there are two framed shirts, and you can see a replica champs league trophy in a trophy cabinet, and some medals framed on the wall too. Surprised the link to it hasn’t made it into the bloggy demain

  44. David

    A

    Im guessing you didnt read the whole thing.

    Sharkey didnt say that…that was ManG..

    Read the whole thing.

    And if you mean finishing 12 points behind the leaders is near the top then…absolutely! You are so right!

  45. A

    Because I don’t understand what your interpretation of it would be David, so I was just hoping you could give me an explanation as to how the wife beating mentality could be connected to support of arsenal?

    It isn’t plain English at all….

  46. David

    A,

    Fantastic question

    Why dont you ask the guy who claims doomers have the wife beating mentality in the first place?

    Cant you read at all?

  47. A

    We were right up there until the last 6 games David. You can’t make out that 12 points shows that we never had a chance and were never in touching distance of the leaders. We weren’t good enough overall, obviously, but we were for over 3/4 of the season

  48. A

    huh David, you’re the only one here.

    I’m guessing you don’t know what the connection is, or have any interpretation, but just see wife beaters, which is a bad thing, and arsenal fan, in the same sentence, therefore he must be saying something really bad about arsenal fans?

    Nothing to do with reading, it’s about interpretation, and people have different interpretations of exactly the same phrase/comment

  49. Stu

    So what do you think he meant by wife beater mentality David? Not having a wife to beat or any friends with wives to beat i dont know what their mentality is.
    And we were 11 points behind chelsea.

  50. David

    6 games is 18 points.

    That is not a trivial amount at all.

    Are you saying that it was only after the last 6 games we were double digits away from the leaders?

  51. gambon

    IMO we were about 11/12 points worse than Chelsea.

    We have the attack to win the league (although questionable against tough opposition), but defensively we are a long long way off.

    Wenger has to improve the defence dramatically while not losing the attacking effectiveness.

    My worry for next year is more Man Utd than Chelsea, cos theres no way Chelsea will pick up 18 points in the big games like they did.

  52. David

    He explained it didnt he?

    “Its a kind of wifebeating mentality in my book….this sort of love you-kick you relationship that some fans seem to have”

  53. Stu

    We have the attack to win the league but not the attack to beat the big teams because we arent clinical enough imo. Add to that we push too many forward, especially against the big teams, and the few we have at the back get picked apart.

  54. David

    Its funny why are people asking me to explain something someone else said?

    Why dont you ask him?

    You want my interpretation!

    Its laughable and stupid to compare Arsenal fans to wife beaters! Simples!

  55. Stu

    Yeah 12 with the goal difference but chelsea were like a machine last season. Conceded he least and scored the most. I fucking hate how good they were.

  56. gambon

    Lets hope AW changes things around;

    - Bob Wilson has suggested we are bringing a worldy in in goal (Buffon?)

    - Toures agent said he would like to play for us, this for me is an absolute no brainer.

    - Wenger has said CB will be signed if Gallas goes, which is a guarantee.

    With a GK, CB, Toure & a cheaper backup CB (Upson?) we will have the best first XI in the league and a top squad.

  57. A

    They weren’t that good though Stu, just in the big games, and absolutely smashed some teams….

    very inconsistent at other times though.

    imo the worst team to win the title in a fair while, there just weren’t any really good sides this season

  58. Stu

    We have conceded the same at home as chelsea and scored the same as them away from home. The difference being they really put teams to the sword at home (20 goals more) and are relatively tight at the back away from home.

  59. A

    yeah gambon, buffon and yaya would be absolutely amazing. No idea who as centre back, but someone quality, that goes without saying!

    I reckon if we got yaya we wouldn’t need another centre back. We’d have new cb and vermy starting, then jd, sol, song, and yaya as back ups

  60. David

    Does Utd have an outstanding defense

    Or is it that Teams like Aston Villa dont have the balls to go and attack them even with a 1 man advantage.

    They only have to work 1/3 of the time

    The rest of the EPL lie down and take it.

  61. David

    I still say we should get 1 more CB in there

    JD is injury prone.

    That leaves Sol…who is more than Capable but inevitably cant sustain 2 games per week…

    It might be we may have to wait and see what the squad looks like in Jan

  62. Stu

    We really need 3 CBs. 2 as first choice and the third to rotate with to keep the other 2 fresh. A big problem this season was that Gallas and Vermaelen got no rest, played the first 20 or so PL games and even the CL games and neither got a rest because Wenger had no faith in Silvestre or Senderos (rightly so).

  63. David

    If that was really the case Stu then Wenger wouldve gone out and got a CB before the summer window closed.

    JD had been out since the start of the season.

  64. gambon

    I think there is still a chance he will buy a top class DM (toure, toulalan) and move Song in alongside Vermaelen.

  65. A

    i reckon lansbury is ready to be a squad player gambon, and we need someone with that athleticism in the squad other than diaby….

    Wilshere potentially could be kept around as well, if rosicky leaves. Saw rumours about hamburg, though if he stays then wilshere back to bolton would be great for him.

    Rest loaned out, maybe even eastmond if we got yaya

    szczesny, bartley, ayling, coquelin, traore, frimpong, eastmond, henderson, JET, freeman all loaned out.

    Have I missed anyone?! If eduardo stays maybe loan vela too

  66. Stu

    I sure hope not Gambon. It would be a waste of the last 2 seasons where Song went from clueless to confident in the DM position. Having him move and have to settle in a new position would seriously damage us imo.

  67. A

    I don’t think song would be permanently a centre back yet gambon.

    Toure and Song both playing in the midfield three with cesc would make us so solid and strong in there against the big teams, along with buffon in goal, and a quality centre back alongside vermy….

  68. gambon

    Nordveit, Watt & Barazite also need to be loaned or sold, id like to see the first 2 loaned & the latter sold to Ajax or something.

  69. A

    Oh yeah gambon, forgot about watt and nordveit.

    Maybe nordveit could stick around and offer cover at centre back or dm.

    I’ve always liked the look of barazite, but i guess the fact that he’s never gotten near the squad shows that there must be something wrong with him, or he’s just a nob, so maybe get rid.

    simpson and randall to be sold too obviously

  70. A

    meh that means nothing david, just says he needs to train for 2-3 weeks to be adapted to that position, could happen, though i think he’s better in midfield, certainly at the moment

    arsenal.com is becoming more and more shit as a website, ridiculous headlines, and now transfer rumours. it’s becoming more and more like a shitty tabloid not interested in reporting things factually. really pisses me off!

  71. gambon

    “He needs to practise two or three weeks in there to have all the knowledge of the game.”

    In other words he needs a preseason in there.

    I would love to see the Song-Toure-Cesc MF myself.

    If our first team next season was;

    ——————Buffon

    Sagna——–CB———Vermaelen—-Clichy

    ——–Song——Cesc——-Toure

    –Chamakh———RVP———–Arshavin

    I will be the first to the bookies to place £20 on us winning it.

  72. A

    yep gambon, same, what a side, though chamakh would be interchangable with alot of other players.

    so solid in the middle of the park

  73. A

    rodwell is another who would be awesome, and he’d add depth too in both defence and dm. seems he’s gonna sign a new contract at everton though, pity

  74. David

    Signing a new contract is just so they can get top dollar A,

    They have Osmond and Felleini they certainly dont need Rodwell.

  75. gambon

    In terms of his career Rodwells probably best staying at Everton til he’s 21 or so, then moving when hes the best player at Everton.

  76. David

    Disagree Gambon you have to pounce on them bright and early as utd did with Rooney.

    He’s a special talent and even if he wasnt he has the engine to make up for it.

    Id certainly want to get in Rodwell and Ozil…

    If Yaya is 90% gone then please make us proud Arsene

  77. Stu

    Dont watch any Roma matches so dont know anything about him (apart from when he was shit against united and chavski) but does anyone rate Mexes? He hasnt been included in the France squad but that means fuck all with that twat in charge of them. Anyone think he would be worth a bid as our CB?

  78. Jaguar

    That Capoue-Etienne guy looks sound.But youtube can make even that wanker Diabolical better than Kaka.

  79. Stu

    Buffon, Yaya and CHamakh. Thats pretty much as good as it gets in term of top players for us. I dont think anyone knows what defender we are going after because there doesnt seem to be any top class ones available or affordable.

  80. gambon

    Stu

    Id say as a squad player yes, as a first choice no, he has never lived up to his reputation as a 20 year old wonderkid.

    I would also like a tall 6’3″ or so CB alongside Vermaelen.

  81. Stu

    I get the feeling that if we were to buy Seb Frey then there would be a new manager of France and he would come out of retirement and ruin everything. I mean, apparently he is the best french keeper but refuses to be selected because of Domenech. Knowing our luck there would be a new manager who wants Frey as French number 1 and Frey would be off on international duty.

  82. Stu

    I would render a guess that these are either sarcasm, a piss take or some yid on a wind up. But if not, and these are real arsenal fans then oh my fucking goat! What sp@stics!

    “Shut up and Fuck off !! Almunia is number 1 for ever at Arsenal. You have forgotten his excellent reflexes. I am sorry for you and your website for these nonsenses.

    May 13, 2010 | Almunia For Ever
    i think almunia is the best keeper in the prem some of his performances have been great this year he is just not consistant enough, i want cesc to go to he is past his best now and we shoudl look to the future maybe push eboue into his position , i also think titus bramble would be a welcome addition to the squad he has easily been the top defender in europe this year .

  83. Jaguar

    Could be,Stu.The other day,I posted on that unculturedbullshit shite that I am in love with Wen*er and I love Wen*er more than Arsenal.Some bastards agreed with me.Fucking wen*ers.

  84. Stu

    Someone told me that Jerome Boateng has all but signed for City. Is this true or was he just winding me up?

  85. David

    i had a yidiot friend of mine Joke around that Wenger should Sign bramble cuz he’s the new Beckenbaur…and that they would be absolutely fucked next season if we signed him

  86. Jaguar

    I said that I would want Wen*er to manage us even if we are relegated. Unculturedbullshit.wordpress.com is the worst website ever.Wankers love Arsene w*nk*er more than Arsenal.Fucking waste of space.

    jag ,

    dont have to tell me ..
    their a bunch of narrow minded pricks ..

    also they should change their names to a
    ‘crocked left foot’ out of respect for our injury woes :)
    They have happened to be totally WRONG every season prediction wise about our club .. in every facet , yet scream the loudest ..

    surprise , surprise brown nosing fascist Cnuts

    the home of AKB’s !.. the variable breeding ground

    someone should send them a fatal virus !

  88. Wengerout

    Arsene Wenger thank you for the Invincibles and all the silverware in the past. But after 6 trophy less years you have become a stubborn old senile man, who has lost the plot and needs to retire and enjoy some sun and caipirinhas in the Brasilian sun

  89. Alco

    At Jaguar and Ethan Gunner
    Dont forget Untold Arsenal their slogan is
    “Support The Lord Wenger In Everthing He Do”
    They’re viewer always say bad things about Le Grove
    Calling this site the home of doom and gloomers

    Comment there once
    Write politly about the situation of our “Squad” and what when wrong in my own view hey democracy right?
    They call me an idiot, imbecile, Usmanov lover and all i got is Economic Lectures and how Arsenal makes profit that was taken out of the fans pocket
    Damn in every lost we concede they always write about “Financial Prudence”

    And everyime i talked about how Denilson cant fill Flamini’s boot they bring the 08/09 statistic up and they call me doom and gloomer again as i bring them Flamster 07/08 statistic, LOL
    I mean c’mon Blind Faith is the reason for so many terrorist suicide bombing

  90. ethangunner

    no fuck that BBK …the 1st year he shows signs of class … we sell him !real productive class …
    i fucking said that would happen all along !

    we might get 35-50 mil .. but we will need that to replace him ? so why fucking sell him…. he is under contract til 2134 ..

    why doesnt wenger do whats best for the club ..

  91. ethangunner

    especially with wengers replacement strategies ..
    it takes 2 years for the cover to be good enough …

    why sell our best players ?

    isnt that the sort we should be recruiting ?
    NOT FUCKING SELLING !?

    this club !

    FUCK ME !

  92. ethangunner

    if it was possible to kick yourself in the balls ..

    im sure this club would try .. because they are their own worst enemy ..

    we are a selling club .. the text book version ..

    it might as well say in the dictionary

    selling club:- See Arsenal F.C

  93. ethangunner

    i mean cesc 22 . got 8 of his best years ahead ..
    and we sell him ! ….

    isnt this whats project youth was all about?? , to wait like we are pulling teeth for a player to come good ..

    waste 4 years on the cunt only to sell him for 50 mil ..

    BRILLIANT !

    BRILLIANT strategy ! !

  94. ethangunner

    no its the board jag ! HAS TO BE !

    theres been more movement in that board room recently than the Arsenal player roster ! those fuckers would never let an external source like wenger pull the purse strings .

    i wouldnt want wenger in charge of my money .. in fact
    id say the only money he can have a say on , is the transfer money he creates ..

    even then then he hands it over im sure he takes a spotters fee ..

    but the real problem is lack of ambition at the top .
