We have been linked with many, we always come up short, the Arsenal apologists always tell us we did better than the season before, Arsene always blames injuries, we always blame lack of quality players and not spending, so who’s right?
Kids aside, it seems to me that every season, we lose more players than we sign, every season, then we get injuries, then we curse our luck, look at last season, we were short at the start, yet we sold Ade and Kolo and brought in Vermaelen.
This year we have signed Chamakh on a free, but look like losing Campbell, Silvestre, Gallas, Simpson (gone), Gilbert (gone), Merida (gone) and possibly Cesc.
Wenger has already said he would never buy more than 3, well we’ve already lost two, so if we only bring in 3, we’ve not moved, and last season we were short, so this season we’ll be shorter. We know he’s after Koscienlny and Schwarzer, so it doesn’t bode well if 3 is his limit.
We do however need another defender and for me Richards, who is a gooner could step in and fill the breach. At least he’s English and used to the vigours of the EPL, yes I hear he’s a party boy with an attitude but what, Bendtner isn’t?
Anyway, England against the old enemy up tonight, strangely enough, I fancy us to win, 4-2! Then maybe we can start to believe, shame about the USA, they did entertain, I liked the way they played, maybe we would do well to shoot a bit more, like they did.
If England lose, then the silver lining could be Joe Cole being announced next week, who knows eh!
I just so want us to start signing players that will make an impact from the start, we have the money, Wenger has the knowledge, let’s not have another season as the rank outsider, let’s start as we mean to go on.
Come on Arsenal! Have a great day Grovers, this is what weekends in the summer should be about!
Finally the web is full of Eduardo to leave stories, well if true, I can’t say I’m surprised, I just wish we had had the chance to say goodbye properly, that guy was brave and loyal and a little unlucky, so if true, good luck Eduardo, and thanks.
Argentina striker Diego Milito has declared that comparisons between his international team-mate, Lionel Messi, and England striker Wayne Rooney make him laugh.
Inter star Milito claimed there is no player in world football that can be compared to the Barcelona talisman, and remarked that Rooney, while in the top 20 players in the world, is not even close to the Argentine talisman at present.
“When we hear the English or anyone from the football world trying to compare Rooney with Messi it makes us laugh,” he said to Spanish publication Sport.
“Rooney is very good player, there’s no doubting that, but to put him at the same level as Messi is a mistake. There is no debate possible.
“When Messi retires he could become the best player ever. How can you compare him to anyone that plays at present, let alone someone who has not even been voted Footballer of the Year?”
The 31-year-old was also asked whether Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo are in Messi’s league, but he also believes even those former World Player’s of the Year are in the shadow of the Rosario-born star.
“They don’t even compare but Rooney? No, no, no. “He [Rooney] is in the top 20 players in the world, but that does not make him Messi or even close.
“Messi is marked in every game by five or six players at the same time, something that does not happen to Rooney.
“Whatever happens, the boy [Messi] is already a legend
Morning all.
Well and truly sausaged.
Don’t know about other Englishmen on here, but I feel strangley cleansed. I can ‘move on’ in new labour speak. Enjoy the football without the passion and inevitable hurt.
Would like a final involving two of the good footballing teams, with Argentina winning.
Zeus: Was Diego Milito talking to himself there. Talking about stating the bleeding obvious. I doubt even Rooney himself would disagree.
It makes me laugh too..RvP>Rooney.
hehe Micky
Arsenal need Eduardo dos Reis Carvalho from Sporting Club de Braga, the goalkeeper in the current Portugese world cup side. He’s amazingly adept – great at crosses, one-on-ones, penalty shootouts and commands presence in the box – a far cry from what we currently have at goal. I’m sure he will do well for us.
Vincent Enyeama, albeit impressive, will have to be involved in African Cup of Nations. Goalkeeping is one position you want to have your No. 1 there consistently throughout the season.
Mark Schwarzer and Rob Green are too inconsistent. I honestly think they’re at the same level as Manuel Almunia and not a big step for us in terms of quality.
Bring in Eduardo dos Reis Carvalho please.
Rohan: Does that symbol you used between the “RVP” and the “Rooney” mean “greater than” as in the mathematical symbol?

ETHAN, AA23, sixx pac !!!!! Grow up guys. This is a football forum not a playground.
———————————-
you dont have to read it 1stly ..
and 2ndly you dont have to put up with tweedle dee and tweedle DUMBER !
so think yourself blessed and dont get involved you silly Cnut !
micky
RVP should be RIP ?
so which lad of ours was a stand out at the world cup ?
short answer=
NONE !
Ethan: I think its interesting that Tevez aside, there has not been a stand out player from the prem.
But then again, its far more about the TEAM than individuals. The work on individuals is done at club level, internationl teams are simply man management.
Which is why it is simply staggering that they picked a manager who still cannot string two words of English together.
MickyDidit89:
