Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by Akolawole(m): 6:52pm On Mar 21, 2006 |
He is known to be a developer of Players but he is buying now. He is going for ready-made materials at last. He has secretely bought the tallest Striker in the world. The 6ft 10in player will join Arsenal in the summer. His name is Nikola Zigic (a Serbian National). Did Wenger actually need this man ?

Is this true? where did u curl the story from? am interested |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by pie1ect(m): 9:02am On Mar 22, 2006 |
Akolawole, The fact that he happens to be taller than Jan Koller(if indeed he is) does not make him a ready-made material. I've read this story but as it has not been confirmed by the Arsernal website, I'm still a lil' bit skeptical. Anyway I hope he comes in. |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by Akolawole(m): 12:56pm On Mar 22, 2006 |
@Pie1ect: Why can't he stick to your principle of "academy grooming"? |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by giddy(m): 2:11pm On Mar 22, 2006 |
I think Wenger is confused. |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by vichel(m): 9:02pm On Mar 22, 2006 |
No he's not confused at all, he wants to have all options available to him, he's players are best on the ground, why not try to improve your air strike incase your ground fails at a particular game. If he buys this player, and he is very good, i would welcome it, i would even welcome a winger, so that we could be an all rounder team. |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by richolly(m): 12:59am On Mar 23, 2006 |
why are you chelsea fans always against anything Wenger or Arsenal does. @giddy what do you know about football or coaching that you labelled Wenger "confused" @Akolawole the six footer is relatively unknown and i'm sure wenger will turn him to a star if he evntually buys him. even kanu was better known when he moved to arsenal sincerely speaking, it will be better if we could just put sentiments aside and say things as they really are which is why i always love the contributions of CODEC and PIE1ECT |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by Akolawole(m): 1:26am On Mar 23, 2006 |
@RichOlly Who is unknown ?, maybe you dont know him. He is a Serbian Striker. He is an established star. 1) Is Alexander Hleb unknown? and 2) Is Adebayo unknown? 3) Is Reyes unknown? |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by LoverBwoy(m): 1:44am On Mar 23, 2006 |
academy grooming is not arsenal's only principle!!! hleb and reyes were relatively unknown!! |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by richolly(m): 12:59am On Mar 24, 2006 |
@Akolawole, i said R-E-L-A-T-I-V-E-L-Y UNKNOWN thanks LoverBwoy for re-explaining |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by Akolawole(m): 1:52am On Mar 24, 2006 |
@LoverBwoy and RichOlly Why can't those genuine Gunners fault me on this. Where is Pie1ect ? Both of you may not know them but i do. 1) Alexander Hleb had played in Bundesliga for 5 years at VFB Stuttgart. He is an international since 2001 when his country played Wales in Cardiff. 2) Reyes was playing in Spanish liga with Seville, started playing for Spain in 2003 in a game against Portugal. So , Are they established before joinning your team?
|
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by pie1ect(m): 9:49am On Mar 24, 2006 |
@Akolawole Here I am. If you compare the popularity of the players you've mentioned before and after they made their move to Arsenal, you can say they were relatively unknown. Of course, most of us who watch spanish football, got to see Reyes once in a while and if you did watch German football, you saw Hleb once in a while too. That doesn't mean they were not established at their respective clubs. But moving to a big English club like Arsenal is a whole different ball game entirely and if you can cut it in the English league, your value and popularity goes over the roof literally overnight. Zigic may have scored 50 goals in one season, but I have to be honest - I had never heard of him before Wenger went in for him. I would agree though, Wenger's Policy seems to have changed a lil' bit with the last few transfers - Adebayor/Hleb. But the one thing that has not changed and maybe will never change is his insistence on youth development. Currently, the average age of the Arsenal team is between 21-24. |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by Akolawole(m): 2:08pm On Mar 24, 2006 |
@Pie1ect Thanks for your comments and your quick response. I called on you because i know you are not a theoretical Arsenal supporter, you have watched their matches both on TV and live and you get those facts. Thanks once again for coming out to "SAVE" from people who taught they know but knows NOTHING about Arsenal. |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by LoverBwoy(m): 1:29am On Apr 07, 2006 |
sometimes u annoy me esp as it concern my team i just fely like being rude to u but hmmm i'll pass why r u so bothered about arsenal? Where is this player now? I'll advice u to stop reading the Sun newspaper as they tend to jump the gun in searching of the exclusive story |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by Akolawole(m): 5:58pm On Apr 07, 2006 |
LoverBwoy: Annoy you? Rude to me? No comments sir! If it is constructive criticsm, i am okay. But i am not going to accept wrongful information because i dont want you to angry with me. |

Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by 02(m): 2:41pm On Apr 15, 2006 |
Akolawole,by relatively unknown player,it means players not well known eg.prior to del horno joining chelsea,he was not well known becos he played 4 (Athletico Bilbao).so the same goes 4 Hleb and Reyes. Gilberto,Edu,lauren,Campbell,Ljunberg, all came into Arsenal as established players and not groomed from Academy.So stay flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, |
Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by Akolawole(m): 2:54pm On Apr 15, 2006 |
02: I dont agree with you. An untapped talent may be UNKNOWN but International is Known irrespective of of his Country. |

Re: Wenger Secretely Sign a Six-footer by chidichris(m): 8:15am On Jun 23, 2009 |
is not as if wenger does not like big or established players rather he is allegic to their prices. need we go too far in proving this? sylvester. just tell him that the value of iniester is 500k and you will see him there. he is such a proud man but since nothing is woeking out and ppl arround him are exhausting their petience package, he is been pushed to look for other arshravins who could reply liverpool 4 times. wenger is yet to be bold enough to join the chase for the likes of benzama and ibrahimovic. |
