Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by debosky(m): 3:58pm On Feb 10, 2009
The article is right in some respects - we don't have good enough cover when our first team gets injured.

This has been the situation, especially in central midfield with Cesc for almost 3 years now, but Cesc never got injured. It happened this time around, along with other injuries, forcing AW to buy. Now does that mean he has changed? I doubt it.

Arsene can be highly infuriating - why did we get Bischoff, Coquelin and others and they won't play except for the reserves? Why is Wilshire or Vela not starting ahead of the ponderous Eboue?? Sometimes it's very difficult to judge why AW does certain things, or maybe it's because the players do better in training that we can't see.  undecided

Of the lot, NONE can be worse than Eboue at the moment, so I take umbrage at not playing them.  angry

I don't agree with buying a DMF at the moment - they boys we have, yes INCLUDING MOFO Song, have been good in the games so far this year. In fact, Diaby was playing the kind of game we know he can till the injury truncated his run again.  sad They should be given till the end of the season (like Eboue was given at RB till end of 06/07) before replacing them.

How can someone rationally saying Dudu being back but Ade being out for THREE WEEKS is the same thing   Gooners let their negativity get the better of them at times. This nonsense about our 'best' players leaving last year is arrant nonsense. We had Clichy, Sagna, Cesc and Ade in EPL team of the season and they are ALL still here.

Yes we lost half of our midfield, and it would be difficult to replace that instantly, but we did get Nasri and tried to get Xabi but failed. I'm not excusing the failure to sign, but anyone thinking AW is stale doesn't know anything. For him to want to buy such players shows he understands deeply where our problems lie. We now have Arshavin, we might get Rozzi back and we also have Vela in the squad.

In my view, peculiar events such as Cesc's injury (yes I know, we should've had a replacement) amongst others, loss of form by many of our best performers last season (including Cesc)  and fragile team confidence have affected us badly.

Many people feel keeping the guys from last term would've avoided the problem. I disagree - Hleb and Flamini have not blown up their respective leagues to give that impression. They've been bit part players, and unexceptional ones at that.

Granted AW's had misguided faith in Eboue, Denilson has had a rough introduction to a full premiership season, and Song has just been, well. Song.  

There's a heck of a lot to play for this season - CL, FA and a CL slot in the league. It looked better at this point last season but ended up not much better. I do believe Gazidis coming in will IMMENSELY help AW to focus more on the team and do less running of the club. We might be drawing, but I do feel we've turned the corner - as long as we keep our current focus on defensive discipline and our creative players come back, we have a fantastic chance of silverware THIS term.

Our best chance is of course the FA cup - a knock out competition in which we have almost unrivalled pedigree.

The CL is eminently winnable too - it all depends on how things go.

We won't win the prem, as I've said since early November, so get your facetious grin away from here before you get smacked!! tongue

With Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd in it PLUS the possibilty of getting eliminated by those smaller clubs. . .Your chance of winning is 6.6%

Put it this way. . . . . .U have to beat an English team on 2 legs to win the Champions League.
Be honest with yourself. . . . .Do u really think Arsenal can manage that??
Besides, how are we even sure y'all can upset Roma(with the new improved Totti)??

So what if MU is in it? Didn't we beat you in the final in 05? Haven't we beaten Man Utd and Chelski this season? Why can't we beat you home and away if needed?

Just two years ago, we beat Liverpool thrice in less than two weeks, we can do it again if necessary. tongue

Who is defending him? It will always be open to conjecture whether he made a mistake or a colossal error - I think it was a mistake. tongue

He is the one who knows what he saw in the dressing room before making that decision, coupled with the player's desire for long term stability. (5 year deal at 31)

AW remains the best man to turn things around - one would think he wasn't the same dude who BOUGHT Bertie in the first place. I'm not saying his judgment is flawless, but I give him the benefit of the doubt. cool

Apart from Cesc, Gilberto is better than any other Arsenal central midfielder.

He let him go thinking he would get Xabi Alonso - it didn't work. Is that too tough for you to understand?? undecided
If Xabi got signed, no one would miss Bertie as such, he didn't get the player he wanted, hence the vacuum.

If Wenger can be myopic, Fergie is hypermetropic tongue grin grin

Why not sign Alonso first before letting Gilberto go??
Did we flog Heinze before getting Evra?? Scholes for Anderson?? Nani for Giggsy??

Alonso's deal would always go down to the wire due to the Barry situation. It would be UNFAIR to string Gilberto along when he had a 5 YEAR deal waiting at Panathinaikos. He was allowed to leave cos he had been a faithful servant. In an ideal world it would be good, but Bertie wanted LONG TERM security not a one year deal like he had at Arsenal.

Yes it does - hypermetropia may sometimes be beneficial cheesy grin grin
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by Sauron1: 10:30pm On Feb 10, 2009
The difference between Wenger and Ferguson is simple:

Wenger knows what to buy and who to buy but he doesn't know when to let go of his relics.
Ferguson knows what and when to buy and the exact time to release the dead woods in his squad.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by debosky(m): 10:38pm On Feb 10, 2009
That is up for debate - Wenger may simply ABHOR older players, so it is more a matter of footballing philosophy than 'judgment' as you wrongly think.

People thought Almunia should've been released two seasons ago, but he's matured into an excellent goalie now, so it's not simply age or not knowing when to discard. tongue
