La Parka

Why not? They are a well run club, spend little and wisely. They make a loss every year tbh Don't most clubs?

I agree too. It's just a shame he has had such a nightmare. The midfield is the problem for me, as highlighted already, especially the wings where natural width and ability is lacking. Quaresma or someone of that type of player would do wonders for Arsenal. Definately, and i am 95% sure we will see a new winger brought to the club in the summer of a high calibre Fingers crossed. The faster Eboue fucks off the better. I'll apologise in advance if we sell him to you He is off to Villa. They need a rightback. He is good at rightback, just utter shite going forward.

Right now, at this point in time, we would be a lateral move. If he is going to leave Blackburn this summer it's going to be for someone in European competition. Oh I forgot, bigger crowds, the first item on every players list when considering a move. Three words: £ £ £ I'd expect £££ isn't an issue at Blackburn, richer than most think. He also recently had a kid IIRC, so moving so soon would be a bit of a bitch too.

How old is he? McCarthy has always impressed me. I like Santa Cruz but feel we should look elsewhere. 26 according to Wikipedia. So perfect age really. I see him as a perfect alternative to Viduka. Step across though isn't it? He would only go to a bigger club. you dont think we're bigger than Blackburn? Right now, at this point in time, we would be a lateral move. If he is going to leave Blackburn it's going to be for someone in European competition. Exactly. We are not bigger than blackburn with regards to recent form, if anything Blackburn have been slightly better performers over the last two years. Sure, we have more potential, their fan base is a joke, their ground isn't the best, they do however have a chairman who is fair loaded, but not on our scale etc. We are potentially bigger, but currently we really are not. Similar situation with us behind all of the top 4 and level with the rest down to spuds. Players moving between these clubs really doesn't achieve much.

Mate was it you saying Van Persie would be top scorer this year? He was injured for most of it. Unlucky really. 8 in 18. Not sure how much he has played in those games injured or on the left wing.

168 games ffs Something like 30 goals. Mental. Feel sorry for Chopra, he was no world beater but better than Shola that is for sure.

Ever since he lost Eduardo tbh.

I'd be very suprised if he managed a club bigger than Liverpool anytime soon. No chnace of your Milans and Madrids taking him, he's not that good. I think he is, if only for his very impressive champions league record.

You think? coz im not that sure tbh. How many times has it been said, that Wenger needed to invest in some new playing staff, yet how many seasons has he decided to take the stubborn approach and insist that the players are good enough?. Ok let me ask you some questions... Why the hell did Wenger decide to give the captains armband to cry baby Gallas when Kolo Toure was a much much better option? Why did Wenger persist on playing Eboue RM throughout most of the season, even though he was playing s****? Why does Senderos still get any playing time? One thing i will say though, Alexander Hleb is a brilliant player. Dosnt seem to score and assist much, but he can change a game in a split second. Heard he's off though, any truth in that? He has come out though now and said he needs an experienced player; thankfully. I think Gallas is a stronger minded player, and doesnt give a s*** about shouting at people, Kolo just jumps around.(I would have give it toure though) Eboue, well, best option really, Wenger obviously thinks Walcott isn't up to playing as often as he would have needed to ahead of Eboue? And Senderos, he isnt AS bad as people make out, hes bad, but not as bad, he has some good games, but the bad games come at the worst time, by that i mean, the big games, which means he isnt up to the level. Eboue is a joke though. You need to get rid. You need some genuine width, players like Quaresma (how is he still at porto!) Capel, Silva, anyone like that. Your defence is strong, maybe a new left back would help, as you lack depth here and what I have seen of Hoyte/Traore they are not going to be up to the level. In central midfield you are fine, Fab and one of Flamini, Song, Denilson makes for a solid pairing. Right wing is probably your second weakest position, Hleb now moved more centrally means Eboue plays there, who is consistently poor. Wenger obviously sees Walcott as a striker too so depth is an issue here. Left wing you were unlucky to lose Rosicky to injury, who has done a good job in this role. Behind him is Diaby (who only has 1 foot) but does a fair job. Eduardo has played here, it was his natural position but he is also now a striker. Up top Adebeyor is either brilliant or very poor. His game is good, some of his play is excellent but at times his touch and finishing lets him down. Still fairly young, and will grow. Bendtner is a cunt, can't see him being around for too long, good in the air but seems to have an over inflated view of his ability. Walcott doesn't seem to get a look in, and even when he does he see's very little of the ball. Unlucky to lose eduardo obviously, who was a big factor in your brilliant performances until his injury. I hope he comes back the player he was as he was developing well. Robin Van Persie is playing whilst still injured, and it is showing in his performances this season, he needs time to get fit, but due to the lack of depth he is having to play. Still has quality but isn't near the fitness levels to show it. For me Wenger needs a bit more depth on the wings and one quality striker. There have been some nasty injuries to key players, which has contributed to the drop in form.

That's outstanding. Not bad, I can remember JJ Okocha having about 150 shots for one goal a couple of years ago, if I'm right! Sounds like Nicky Butt

Agree 100%, I saw Balotelli play last week on channel 5. Looks an immense prospect at what, 17?

Living up to the FM promise

ZOMG BITE HIM!1!! -On topic, Alan's new role is much better. He looks much better sat on the bench.

Yeah just that champions league place, must suck.

Lack of depth has killed arsenal, light up front, severe lack of wide players and some unlucky injuries. Wenger keeps playing Eboue, which is strange because he is largely ineffective.

seriously how many of you had heard of Bafetimbi Gomis before he was linked with us? Judging by previous posts recently everyone seems to know alot about him and therefore watch the French league week in week out. Either that or he`s particularly good on FM He's particulary good on FM. he's not, hes shit. A decent premiership striker at best.

2-1 for me.

Crouch would be perfect.

Giving us Habib Beye

Walcotts run.
