Arsenal 09/10

I'm not that bothered to be honest. He was great in 07/08 but didn't look like he wanted to play for us last season.

We've got a fair few strikers in Vela, Eduardo, Bendtner, Van Persie and then there's Arshavin and Walcott.

Still, it'd be nice to get Chamakh if we can. A defensive mid might be a better buy though.
 
When you consider the injury probs Van Persie and Eduardo have suffered in the past I hope he dos bring some-one in.Dunno much about Chamakh,but then I did'nt know much about Viera and Petit until Wenger bought them.
 
we should get vermaelen, but we'll still struggle if we don't get a really good holding midfielder as well.

I have high hopes for Arshavin on that front this season - a prolific goalscoring midfielder. It's the kind of role that Ronaldo fills.

If Wenger can find a strong, skilful holding midfielder while improving the defence then Arshavin, Fabregas, Walcott, Van Persie are world class!

Still that's it and the other three of the big four have more world class players so it could be a difficult season...

These days you need a whole team of world class players to compete...
 
nasri has broken his leg. out for at least 3 months.

Needless to say that's bad news.

Still with Arshavin, Rosicky and Walcott we should be able to cover his absence.

I also have this sneaking suspicion that getting injuries early in a campaign can sometimes be beneficial in so far as when the player comes back they will often bring a freshness to a squad going through a heavy fixture congestion.

It might prove a good opportunity for young Wilshere too.

I wouldn't be surprised if he sneaked into the England squad for South Africa.

And it's reported today that Eduardo da Silva has had to have another operation on his leg. Won't be fit for the start of the season.

ETA:- sorry just looked at the link in the previous post.

He will. Misunderstanding with AWs comments. He plays in the next friendly and Samir is six weeks away from training not the 3 months as previously stated.

Maybe our lucks changing? :hmm:
:D
 
what do gunners predict for this season?

i'm not overly optimistic. thinking similar to last...

Feeling exactly as I felt this time last year,good run in the cups and hopefully another Champs League place,seems to be the sum of our ambition these last few seasons.
 
4th or 5th at the moment, i reckon. there's no telling how man city will gel: if they play as well as they can on paper, it will definately be a struggle to maintain 4th i reckon. Can't see us breaking into the top 3, unless one of them slip up, or we buy a couple of other players between now and the beginning of the season.
 
1-4, depending whether Alonso/Masch bail and whether Ancelotti is more Hiddink or more Scolari. And of course that all important factor of luck. Being more specific is just impossible with all the unpredictable factors in football.
 
Got no idea to be honest and don't really want to think about it. I'm just going to enjoy one game at a time.

It'd be nice to get Huntelaar on board though.

Only been at RM for 6 months,why are they touting him around Europe?not good enough,usual RM internal politics?
 
:(

Ade going was Ok, but this mystifies me.

Still, Vermalain (or however you spell his name) looks very good in the friendlies hopefully we wont miss Toure too much.
I dunno,£15 million for some-one whos best days are prob behind him is'nt a bad deal,anyway we've got the mighty Sendoros back from Milan this season:p
