Following suit, there will be an Arsenal thread here at beyondfootball, where we can all enjoy and celebrate the greatness that is Arsenal :biggrin:
To begin conversation, it has been reported that Nasri has been signed, a great addition to the midfield. He has been OK during the Euro's, but hopefully the 20 year old will do well, especially since Hleb is being a bitch and wanting out of the club.
Arsene now needs to sign a big player. This has been needed for the past couple of years but he has failed to deliver another player of high quality. What Arsenal needs is another striker and defensive midfield player as well, now that Flamini has left. Eto'o would be a fantastic signing, seeing that Barcelona don't need him anymore. There hasn't been any rumors however, I don't think that will happen. Letting Diarra go was a mistake; now Arsenal could really use him as a defensive midfield player.
Also, Van Persie needs to be let go because of inconsitency and injury problem. He's a fantastic player and is doing great in the Euro, but he is just too injury prone. Mourinho reportedly wants him; Wenger should take the cash and find himself a midfielder (that's not french!)
Nicklas Bendtner is not cutting it at the top level; sure he's had 2 or 3 clutch goals, but other than that he's been poor to be fair. The lineup could be something like
----------Adebayor--------------------------
----------------------Van Persie-------------
-Nasri----Fabregas----Gilberto-----Rosicky
-Clichey----Gallas-----Toure-------Sagna
------------------Almunia--------------------
Vera is also coming in from his loan spell. He and walcott can definitely be used in the wide areas. Gilberto hasn't been to great either. He's also unhappy at the club, but the position needs to be filled by either him or a new signing. That spot and the supporting striker are the real weaknesses of the club. And a back up defender would be nice; Senderos is like Pascal Cygan 2 :lol:
As the stories of the great Arsenal unfold, there must be more discussion! I think by the end of next season, however, Arsenal will be dominant, and putting United in thier place:
-
:bowdown: WELL SAID!!!!
-
Helb would be a great loss. I'm sure Nasri won't be a disappointing replacement once he integrates hes been amazing for Marsille.
-
The loss of Hleb is going to be massive. He and Fabregas ran the team offensively. However, Fabregas has come into his own and i'm sure if partnered with Nasri, will be able to make a great impact in the league again. Rosicky will be fresh off of a season ending injury as well. His presence was greatly missed at the end of this past campaign. :bang:
-
good thread elite :thumbsup: i hope arsenal can continue playing longer well as they did last season, really hope they win the premier league because they deserve it with their great football
-
Adebayor, Eduardo, Van Persie, Bendtner & Vela, why would you Arsenal need another striker? :rolleyes:
I'd say they need a midfielder or two instead, especially a winger.
P.S. No Jens Lehman = :cheers:
-
I think Fabregas will be even better next season...hes one of my favorite player....why does he have to be on a team I hate? Thats the only reason I'm ever happy when Arsenal wins: if Fabregas plays well. So yeah Arsenal is going to be really good next season, no matter how much I hate to say it.

I'll save this quote for the end of next season.

I just had to edit that, sorry.

You'll never find a better backup than him. Who is Arsenal getting to back up Almunia by the way?
-
I say for his age Bendtner is a much better player than Adebayor seeing as Adebayor only was a consistent striker in maybe 3 months this year around Christmas. Eduardo is already back in rehab training with Arsenal. Letting go of RvP would be one of Wenger's stupidest decisions. He's easily Arsenal best striker. Gilberto has never been good, never understood how people see "Talent" that can contain the middle with Fabregas. I say sell Adebayor and Gilberto = good GK and mascherano type of player. Like Rakitic even, seeing as he's a great player for a 20yr old.
-
I'd have to disagree with everything that you just said.
Bendtner is no where near the quality of Adebayor, sorry. His touch and control is just god awful. He can finish the ball when the opportunity presents itself, but never has been an Arsenal quality player. Every player that plays for Arsenal has a supreme ability to control the ball, and Bendtner has always lacked this.
Letting RVP go would be stupid? He is a great player, but is constantly injured. He's just a burden to the team, always leaving Wenger to have to use a player with lower quality while he waits on van Persie's fitness. Perhaps this season he will stay injury free, but honestly, who could believe that? He will maybe be fit for 15 Premier League games, and his contributions in the Champions League have been little to none.
Gilberto has never been good? Gilberto was one of Arsenal's best players 2 or 3 years ago, whenever he was the subsitute captain for Thierry Henry when he was hurt. Gilberto is a great defensive midfield player; lately, however, he hasn't been as good because of the snub he got for the captaincy and his lack of playing time. I agree with you on the fact that he must be sold.
-
Van persi is just like Robben hes made of glass.
-
the season before henry left RvP had more goals than Henry and played less game
this year from start to Dec. he scored Lots of valuable goals that helped us win games, tough and easy
On Bendtner's touch, everyone can improve. Adebayor can be selfish, RvP is easy to injure, Bendtner doesnt have a first touch. He can improve on it. U said that every1 who plays for Arsenal has a great first touch, well im sure they ALL didnt start out with it. Some of the players skill comes from Wenger, the other coaches, and the players commitment and determination to improve.
-
I think Adebayor will leave (to Barca or somewhere else doesn't matter) and you can't 100% count on him. You forgot to mention Eduardo, he's currently injured but some say that he could be back for the start of the season. Some of you Arsenal fans still don't know what kind of player you got when Arsene bought him. I think, if Arsene gives him a chance after he recovers, he'll show he's better than Adebayor. Midfielder and goalkeeper is more needed than another striker, there are a lot better ones than Gilberto and Almunia :biggrin:
-
Agree with the majority of the sentiments.
But letting RVP go?????????
WHAAAAATTTT? No way, he's fucking crucial to Arsenal. He scores, creates and is world class when not injured. Don't forget Steven Gerrard was permanently injured for a while when he was younger. Now look.
-
Defending midfielder = Ottl from Bayern Munchen
Goalkeeper = One of the Man City kids, Joe Hart or Kaspar Schmeichel
For Eduardo hes already back in therapy for his leg with the Arsenal training camp. I read it on a Croatian news website. Arsenal guys are saying its amazing he training 2 months before scheduled and say if all goes smoothly he'll be ready for start of the season
-
Arsene cannot and hopefully will not be so pigheaded as to not buy any 'top class' players.
Ilove what he's doing/done, bt we need some really serious talent even if it's just an experienced pro who's solid to fill in for toure/gallas or sagna or clichy.
Midfield, Nasris addition will be sick, but we still need some benchwarmers for when certain players get injured, who can come in and do a great job.
Arsenal, to compete, NEED depth in the team, right now there isn't any.
If one player got injured last season it was a disaster really, then when two it was a struggle and so on. Man United didn't have that roblem, Chelski didn't have tha problem. If we had a deeper squad we would have won the title.

wow adebayor is an idiot. who does he think he is? He says "I will only play like Henry when they start paying me like Henry" I cant believe he even compares himself to henry. Now i hope we sell him to barca and in the champs league we embarrass them.
Selfish asshole
-
i think we need a defender and a few defensive midfielders. flamini is out gilberto might to to greece. adebayor might be out. bentner is better as a sub, eduardo will be back soon, van persie is good but injury prone, walcott is unproven as a striker, midfield is becoming depleted. hleb might leave rosicky is injury prone and we depend a lot on fabregas. once sanga was out our defense looked bad, senderos is an up and down player and there is no true back up for clichy. we need players!!
-
Im going to the Arsenal Hull game in september is anyone else going to be there???
-
So Kolo Toure apparently has malaria; Rosicky is doubtful for the start of the season and RVP is probably hurt as well. Starting out how we left off :biggrin: And not a single move by Wenger to bring a player in for some cover. Arshavin is fucking waiting!
-
its really starting to irritate me how Rosicky hasnt played in like forever
