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

15 mill is a good deal. We paid 200,000 for him? I think so. Sendoros is prob' off too soon.

On another note, looks like the team are having a good pre-season. 15ish goals in three games.
 
i really liked kolo, so am disappointed that he is leaving, but it's a bit of an odd situation. One of the areas we needed to strengthen this year was our defence, which is why van halen (;) ) was brought in. Selling toure soon afterwards surely takes us back to the position we were in last season.

I guess it points to the fact that van halen will be 1st choice, with gallas and djourou fighting it out for the 2nd place. With senderos and silvestre as back up cover for them.

£15 mill is a lot of money though, and toure wasn't exactly brilliant last year - he lost a lot of pace form previous seasons, and i guess wenger thought he was unlikely to get it back...
 
I think he mainly left because of stuff going on in the dressing room. If Eboue goes as well, we'll have a threadbare squad. At the beginning of the window most people were in agreement that we needed a striker, a centre mid, and a defender. The way things are currently panning out it looks like we'll be down a striker, a centre back and a utility midfielder/defender.
 
yeah, it's already been posted before I think. note that the document peston is reporting on was created by people working for Usmanov. not that they'd write it to suit their own ends, obviously.
 
C'mon chaps let's be a bit more upbeat. If Viera came it would only be on a pay per play deal, stick him in front of the back four, job done, he'll add leadership and be a morale booster in the dressing room. Not all bad I reckon.

Why would Wenger sell what is, for them, an absolutely key player to opposition challenging to be one of the top 4?

I've lost count of how many times I am astonished at Wenger's transfer decisions - but in hindsight I have to admit that he's usually correct - maybe he has a decent defence coming thru - aswell as a holding midfielder who can break up the attacks...

Still the pre-season has been stax of goals - and I think that a top four position is still most probable - Man city will take time to gel - and Villa don't seem to have bought much...
 
Citeh Barnsley, Kolo down with cramp and Adebayor missing open goals..

Meanwhile Rosicky looking good, Van Persie fit and up and running, Clichy back, Eduardo back and Arshavin scores a top goal and threatening to be THE player..

Just thought i'd share some optimism..
 
you still lack a dcent defendsiveish midfielder though.

Unless diaby has come on a hell of a lot in the last month.

don't rate him. This may beacuse i remmeber how shit his uncle was and its slightly clouding my judgement but i've not been impressed with him thus far.


dave
 
I've always thought Diaby was shit hot in the middle. It's just Wenger and his bullshit constantly moving players around.

Like, fucking, Nasri as holding midfielder for instance?! Eboue ever getting moved out of right back into the right mid spot when he was always a shit hot defender. Or Ramsey in the middle?!

So fucking annoying.

I completely hold the faith though, in the team and Wenger.

Shit just bugs me.

One of Denilson, Diaby, Song.. will step up so sorry still optimistic :hmm:

Plus I'm looking forward to our good relationship with you and yours meaning we get Zola next.. :D
 
but we dont like you. You smell.

anyway zola will go to chelscum after us, tis inevitible.

diaby is the more likely out of the three i reckon.


dave
 
I guess we'll find out soon enough. Think 2 players who don't want to be there for 40m is good going plus the team and the supposed problem area of defensive midfield is one year on..

Still think Zola would be a better fit at Arsenal than Chelsea..

(incidentally do West Ham often have support at games they're not playing in? I seem to remember you had a whole section at White Hart Lane back in the early 80s when Spurs were playing Liverpool..)

Yeah, typical Real nonsense. If you look at his stats there's probably no one else near him in the whole of Europe.

yes and no. Looked a bit of a flat-track bully tbh. Scored some nice looking goals against shite teams (and the weak teams in La Liga are a lot more brittle than their premier league equivalents), and looked totally out of his depth against anyone more challenging. In fact he was a bit of a standing joke among anti-madridistas.
 
Gooners,you've got to see this. A bit of JW skill 43 min v Rangers.


:cool:

Edit to add...Arsenal goals from the game (worth it for the commentary alone).
