Le Boss Admits Cock Up (ish)!
Le Boss had admitted that selling Patrick Vieira to Juve in the summer may have been a mistake after all...just a small one though!The Gaffer had this to say...
"I still feel Cesc Fabregas and Mathieu Flamini are doing extremely well.
"But as long as you don't win games, people say that you make mistakes and you have to accept it.
"I don't feel it was a big mistake. But we started the season without Sol Campbell and Thierry Henry, as well as some others, so we've had it a bit hard.
"But it's a good test, a good challenge for us to show we can respond to that."
He added: "We missed Patrick in the first seven games of last season and now he's injured for Juventus. We lost Edu as well, but he's done his cruciate ligament with Valencia and that could have happened with us as well."
Wenger was also asked whether or not he had any plans to sign anyone in January. He replied;
"It depends what is on the market. We don't need to buy for numbers in our squad.
"But if a player of super quality comes up, then yes. If not, then no."

Just one of many cock ups that he is now making.
Fine. He admits to a cock up. But we all knew it was a cock up as soon as Viera was sold. Why did it take him so long to realise it.
Don't get me wrong. I think AW is the best thing thats ever happened to our club. BUT, lately he seems to be wearing the 'company face' a bit too much.
He is in danger of losing all the respect and credibility he has built up over the years.
Not just amongst Gooners, but the football world as a whole...sometimes you've got to admit things are not going well.
Spot on Nyssie.
Do you think we should sell Henry?
Before I get shouted down, lets look at it from another direction.
He is 29, and in a couple of years his main asset, his pace, will be diminishing and he will not be able to make up for that as he is not a predator type of striker in the box.
Arsenal would be able to £30m+ and save on the huge wage that we would have to pay him.
Wenger thought it was the right time to cash in on PV, should Arsenal cash in on Henry, and only sell him, or use him as a part exchange, to a foreign club.
I know the emotion this will bring, but from a business view does it make good sense?
I understand what your saying Anon (12:41). I was having a similar conversation with a mate earlier...
At the end of the day this game that we all love so much is TEMPORARY. Managers are temporary, players are temporary, success is temporary. Things MUST and WILL always move on.
The only thing that remains is US, the fans.
Totally agree Nyssie. Which is why the question, do we sever the attachment now and cash in, or do we let it drift on and end up with nothing.
It may be the making of the team as the rest of the players have to take on responsibility and not keep relying upon him.
Looking at it from Henry's prospective. It has nothing to do with not loving the club, but at 29 it is a serious career decision and at that age can he afford 2-3yrs at a club in transition?
A move may benefit both parties. Arsenal get money and he moves to a club ready to challenge for the CL.
Jack, its not that he is not allowed to make the odd mistake. Its that his record is in the past and its the present that is of concern. His decision over PV was terrible, not one Arsenal fan thought it was a wise move at the time, allowing Edu to leave (when he did not want to), the lack of summer transfers when he had a small young squad with a long season ahead, the reluctance for a plan B. And don't get me started over the goalkeeper situation.
You have proved my point rae. You can see the problems but AW cannot.
At the moment, if AW was a player, he is having a 'mare.
And sorry to disagree Henry is 29. But, even if he is 28, and if he is he we would be 29 by next summer (stupid point to argue over when we are discussing something important) it is a major career decision as the contract he will sign will be for 4-5yrs.
Jack.. I don't think Henry's ego is that big that he is concerned of being a big fish in a small pond.
At Barca, he will be in the team alongside Eto, Ronaldinho and Deco. If they add a couple of defenders that is a very good team.
No one has actually said whether we should sell him or not.
Jack..Just because he has married an English girl does not mean that living in Barcelona is a dreadful existance, earning more money than Arsenal can give him, time of at christmas to be with his family, and his daughter is young that it will not affect him. As for the racism, he gets that abuse in England, so I don't see that as a problem. Afterall, it has affected Ronaldinho and Eto.
The points you have raised seem pretty desperate and avoiding the main argument.
Should we sell and cash in now. What is best for the club, and NOT Henry.
Rae..Whether he is 28 or 29 does not matter because of the length of contract he has to sign, which will be 4-5yrs.
It will be his final contract that is why it is so important.
Please pay attention.
Jack you feel we should not sell him. Interesting. I am not saying you are wrong or right but is this really the best for Arsenal? Please consider the following:-
1) Huge weekly wage which will break the wage structure of the club. This can cause future problems with current players wanting an increase and leading to high demands from future transfer targets.
2) Missing out on £30+. And as you have already said regarding PV £13.5M is good money for a 29yr old.
3) As he gets older his pace will diminish, which is his main goal scoring asset. He is not a predator in the box.
OH GOOD! PASCAL FUCKIN CYCLOPS!!!
Rae..The point I am making is that 28 or 29 the length of contract puts him into his early 30's and so it will be the last big contract he signs. That is why it is important.
I hate to say it I think it would be better for Arsenal if we sold him. From a pure business point of view, £30M+ for a player who will be in decline, not immediately but certainly over the next 2yrs, it is too much money to lose.
Jack..No matter how much money you have another £30M+ fucking helps.
What about the point of the breaking of the wage structure. Do you feel that it is valid?
Jack..If true,I'll be in a night club.Its more comforting than see cygan have a goal and score two own decisive goals.
Can someone clear my head up,it seems Cygan has a clause that entitles him to be at arsenal till he retires
Arsene didnt say it was a mistake to sell him, he just said
"but as long as you don't win games, people say that you make mistakes and you have to accept it"
now the press takes this and turns it into something else....
fuck i hate the press.
I'm not saying sell all players. Believing that the club can run purely on a football basis is very naive.
But it is your opinion and I am not on here to argue. It just the situation just kept being viewed in one way and no one ever seemed to ask the important question, is it good for Arsenal? If selling an aging player for a large sum of money ensures future success of the club then I am all for that.
Ambrose, i dont hate the press,i hate some muppets who work in the press houses.they turn words around to make Arsenal look like they are a waiting to go for Coca Cola championships
Ambrose...Do you feel that it was a mistake?
Nyssie..What is your honest opinion on the Henry situation.
delayed point but becoz Henry is comming to the end of his contract, teams like barce are gonna offer a mere sum of what henry's really worth and arsenal are gonna have to accept the even the low offeres, rather than running the risk of loosing him on a free, i rekon he will go for £20 mil or less
Without wanting to be a knobber, I've gotta say I'm on the fence over this one.
On one hand, if a player no longer wants to play for the club and we can cash in on him BIG TIME, then sell him.
On the other, it is Thierry Henry we're talking about. I know no one player is or ever will be bigger than the club, but he IS amazing...and could walk into ANY team in the world.
I don't want him to go - but sometimes you gotta look at the bigger picture.
I agree Nyssie it is a very tough call. I think we have to try and ignore what he has done in the past and see what he can do for us in the future. Sounds nasty, but that's football.
I am just wondering whether Arsenal's decision will be based more on keeping the fans happy and not what is right for the club. This may sound daft but it would not be the first time this has happened.
A prime example is Sol Campbell when at Spurs. Sugar turned down a £17.5M bid from Man U, as he said 'for the fans' and 18 months later he joined us on a free.
I am not saying Henry would leave but his age and the constant injury problems he now seems to have may make this a costly mistake.
I also wish his body language was more positive. Saw him on Sky this morning and he looked like he didn't want to be there.
Nyssie that sounds like a very reluctant yes, to me.
I wish someone would drive their car back and forth over Cygans legs a few times for all us Gunners fans... I'd rather we drafted in a defender or two from the Ladies XI.
Nyssie,Got caught up on this posts,didn't put it straight up to you...WELCOME BACK.....
been on Holiday?,
Or you took another stunt,like ....anything anyway
Welcome.we did miss your blog.am though curious you may dis appear tomorrow.
I don't understand the slating of Cygan. He is a very underated quality defender.
He must be or otherwise AW would not select him.
Lads - There's absolutely no way we should sell Henry.
In the end look at our striking options - Wenger said it himself today Henry has been out since end of september and he's still our highest scoring player this season.
Who's gonna step up to the plate ....
What matters is the club and the club's success. if we have no replacement then how can we sell our greatest asset, and only regular goalscorer?
This is the problem with the Vieira sale - Paddy was a great player but in the last couple of years he was inconsistent and had some bad games. I didn't have a major problem with selling him - although I was sad it brough about the end of an era. To me is was a 50-50 decision, and we still don't know if it's right or wrong in the long run.
What the problem was was that they didn't have anyone in before they sold him.
The truth is that we can't be clinical about saying we'll miss out on 30 mill if we don't sell Henry now. Who gives a fuck about making a profit on a player - what is important is what he does in an Arsenal shirt - and the way things look we will need him this season, we'll need him next season and we'll probably need him the season after that.
We've certainly had our 10 mills worth out of henry which makes the purchase price we bought him at pretty cheap. He deserves his 75K a week cos for a world class player that's what you have to pay. To replace him you'll probably have to pay 75K a week, unless you use our youth ... and as we've seen so far from the season it takes them a while to step up to the mark.
SOD THE MONEY - we have to keep him. Even if by 32 he's not the player he was.
Is it only me that remembers most people saying that when Vieira left it was a good thing, as he clearly did not want to play for us in the previous 2 seasons, and they came across in his displays.
There is no way i would even contemplate the sale of Henry, we have seen what we lack when he is not playing...Reyes, as much as he tries he does not have the same influence as Henry, and neither does any other striker.
We already lack experience and to lose another 'big name' player who can not be replaced will see us out of the league of the big boys and on par with the likes of Spurs. We have great potential at the club, but until that potential is reached i believe that we need Henry.
We should have plenty of money to spend January and all areas of the team need to be addressed, but seriously selling Henry is a Joke!!! but thats only my opinion
To the gentleman who said that Cygan was a quality defender - I'll take some of what your on mate, it must be great stuff !
You say pay Henry £75K per week. But the likes of Real Madrid and Barca will easily pay double that. Can Arsenal afford to pay that kind of wage.
What about the wage structure. If you smash it, not just break it, you will have other players wanting wage increases and possible transfer targets making unreasonable wage demands. Before you know it the extra money brought in through season ticket sales at the new stadium will be used on this.
This is not as straight forward as many people seem to think.
I do not want him to go, BUT there is a bigger picture here which a lot of people seem to be missing. I would rather miss out on two years then miss out on the next 10-15 yrs. just because of blind loyalty.
Anon 2:11 How can you miss his positional sense, his deft touch, the pure leadership and organisational ability that he brings to the team.
You just do not realise a true footballer when you see one.
You must all be sniffing glue (and pretty strong glue at that) to even consider Thierry Henry leaving Arsenal while in his prime.
Big picture my a$$... this guy is a 1 of a kind, who will eventually be revered as one of the Premiership's greatest ever players, but yeah lets sell him because there's a chance he may eventually go... NICE THINKING !!!
Why don't we sell all our players because eventually they might leave too.... we can probably cover that by replacing them with stars of the future - WE LIVE IN THE PRESENT, unless we are successful now who would want to be part of the future ????
Please stop talking rubbish.
PS - Cygan is lame.
CYGAN
This guy gives other premiership players nightmares.
Toure, Cole, Campbell, Clichy, Lauren, Lehman - all reported to have woken up in a cold sweat when he is announced in a line up before now!
Clearly I'm in the minority here, but I don't think it was a mistake to sell Vieira. He will alays be an Arsenal greatest, but he was no longer doing the business for us consistently. Whether he does that for Juve is, frankly, irrelevant. Who knows what he would have done with us this season if he had stayed and it is impossible to say that we would have been any better in the games we have lost. The only available evidence on whether or not it was a mistake to sell Vieira (ie declining performances and contributions last season)tends to suggest not.
Anon 1:58,its true and i will agree with you on that,but its more complex than that.
you mention about the fans,just look on how the Revenue will completely be affected and the team spirit be affected,leaving out the fact that we have lost our Two most influential players within the period of 9 months.
leave alone, Pires looks to be getting more tired than usual,DB10 will be out,Sol will still be in but will also be in the decline..our leaders will all be gone. as i said its more complex
I personally don't think selling Vieira was a mistake...
I think however that not retaining Edu was a huge mistake.
He could have been a big player for Arsenal this season, at present I think it's way too much to ask Fabregas to produce the good stuff for 90 minutes all season long.
Anon 2:17..Please read the posts correctly, then you will not have made yourself look like such a thick cunt.
You have missed the point totally, and are quoting things that have not been said.
You obviously do not know anything about football, or even a true gooner. How can you say fuck the bigger picture, you do want a successful club in the future or are you really a spud.
In an ideal world you would keep Henry, and I would want to keep him, but you have to live in the real world.
nil, didn't realise Pires had been playing recently as his contribution has been less than nothing. Thanks for reminding me that he has been present.
Anon 2:22
Suck my balls. I don't think the insults were necessary... moving to the Emirates will stabalise the club enough, having a player car boot sale will just further weaken a currently weary looking Arsenal side.
Nil 2:20.. I am split on this subject. My heart says keep him, but I can see the possibility of selling him as being better long term.
What annoys me is not that people want him to stay, but that they have not entertained the idea of what is best for the club. If they feel keeping him is best then fine, but just looking through rose tinted glasses at the situation is not the right weay to go about it.
Anon 2:20..No one has viewed the damage of smashing the wage structure and how that can affect the future. What good is selling more season tickets if it just goes on players wages and restricts future player investment.
Keep him. As previously stated he's still got at least 2 years at his best. Even when he starts to loose his pace he'll still be faster then most and can be played in a deeper position, he's deceptively powerfull.
Having the money doesn't mean we'll get the players we want, just look at our summer transfer exploits as proof of that. Playing alongside worldclass players like TH gives us a better chance of attracting a better quality of player.
Selling Vieira a mistake??? Wasn't he the one who flirted with Real Madrid and told Ahley Cole to ask for £80000 a week??
Some Captain he was!!!
If Henry wants to go he'll go -Wenger will discover more talent. We should worry when Wenger says he wants to go
Anyone believing we should sell TH14 now, would do well to look at our results - the loss of PV4 coupled with the sale of TH14 12 months later isn't going to bode well going into that new stadium.
At this rate we cant even get into the top 6 let alone the top three, the league will even itself out thats for sure. But its no good saying the young players will come good - the 'might' do they might not - I think everyone is hoping RvP11 and JAR9 will spark and score goals - but the defenders are out scoring our forwards at the moment. TH14 is very much part of our Plan A - which is just as well as we haven't got a Plan B. I reckon Bobby Pires is more likely to leave The Arsenal at the end of the season. There is no guarentee for arguments sake let's say Barca will pay £30m for TH14 when they can get him for free 12 months later. Rather than weaken the team AW needs some experience to beef it up in all positions, esp. midfield.

Been busy at work Nil - MAJOR busy...! It gives me the hump!!!
Spot on Eddy the Red. 100% right.
Can people on here please spell lose correctly, and not loose. Fucking retards.
Am divided on this situation.
PV left this year
Next year we loose,
Titi (if he is to Go)
DB10
Pires(i hope he goes judging on the current form)
Ashley(if his gods dont tell him to meet abromovich)
Cygan, (if his legs are crushed by some fan)
AW(if some Fan asks Dein that his actually better than the current gaffer)
Its just hard to
I knew I would get shot down asking this question. The thing that has surprised me is that there has been no real strong logical reasons for keeping him. Plus, not many people have entertained the idea what is best for the club.
Nyssie, a very loyal gooner, could see the logic from a business/club point of view.
Shorty Did you know that Jack is 22 and still lives with his mummy and daddy, and that his season ticket is bought fpr him by his dad.
Jack also hates being called a mummy's boy.
This blog has gone downhill since the twat Jack went on the spuds blog and made himself look a complete prat. Now those wankers are on here and we cannot have a decent football debate.
Thanks Jack, you wanker.
Shorty said that you are an up hill gardener, Jack.
stop being dickheads. fair enough, we know you dont like jack. but why still talk about him. i personally have nothing against the guy and have been on the scum site myself as its a bit of banter so i'll talk to him as i'm sure most genuine gooners will but if you dont want to, don't
Those cretins would not be on here if it was not for Jack.
Plus, Jack signing in as anon is so fucking sad.
Because of Jack we have lost quality guys on here like Serge and the WSG.
Any one here speak Hebrew?
whats the meaning of "fpr"
Of course, and no one else on here makes an honest typing mistake, do they.
Spelling lose as loose. Tossers.
Jack,I like you...be strong,even when these anonymous cunts break loose,keep your head up.
But not as often as he use to be.
Very little football debate on here since you brought your fucking spud friends over here.
You have to take responsibility Jack for ruining this blog. Use to be some real good football chat.
Fuck you Jack.
For me the period of Arsenals history that we are enjoying began 10 years ago with the signing of Dennis Bergkamp. He retires in the summer. Henry might leave this summer also, or he can stay and be as important to Arsenal in the next 5 years as Bergkamp has been for the last 10.
It may make sense to sell Henry, I think it all depends on T's attitude & probably only AW knows what this is? Henry is part of what were THE core group of players in PV, Pires, Sol, Dennis, Freddie. This entire group is either gone or fading fast. A new core is being built with players like Reyes, Fabregas, Hleb, vPersie, Lupoli, Senderos, Clichy, Kolo. We all know his group must be added to urgently with experience & quality. Experience wise, only Gilberto and Ljungberg are signed on long contracts, Cole will probably leave in the summer?
The question is, does Henry want to lead this group, or is his heart with his pals, PV & Pires? If he stays, and signs a new 4/5 year contract? He would be in a similar situation to Dennis, who has been the bridge between the 97/98 Arsenal, and the recent vintage of 2 more titles, achieved with a different set of players. Henry can fulfill that DB role, a world class, experienced, talismanic player who could straddle 2 eras of the club. Also in the next 5 years his game will become less about pure pace and more about creating opportunities for others which is already a big part of his game, it is easy to imagine him adapting to life without Dennis by taking on a variation of that role and perhaps ending up back on the wing with Reyes / vPersie / Lupoli / Torres? Eventually up front?
But to get back to the point of this post...DOES HE WANT IT?
If he's not really up for it and daydreaming about Barca, then AW needs to go the whole hog and get the cash in for Henry & Cole. We need the squad to gel and be fired up about the future, not to think that the best days are over which seem to be the noises coming from these 2 at the moment. The last thing we need is another Vieira scenario where a player stays when his heart clearly wasn't in it, gives us 1 or 2 years of mediocrity and then leaves finally for about half the $ we could have got for them previously. AW was bold to sell PV and maybe he needs to be even bolder in judging the mood of the squad and acting accordingly.
Something that stunned me when PV left was an interview he gave where he stated (approx quotes from memory) that "everything at Juve was set up for success", and there was an expectation and pressure on the players to deliver it. He said that this was not something he had felt at arsenal for the last couple of years! This attitude amazes me, the guy was the captain of the team, the impetus/desire to succeed is supposed to be coming from the players and channeled through him - he is the link between the manager and the players - So does AW not feels the need for success (I don't think so!) does the team collectively not feel the pressure to achieve titles? It was obviously PV who had lost the desire to win things at the club yet his statement inverts this, lays the blame at the door of 'the club' (surely consists of fans, infrastructure, manager, players, all seem present & correct?) he is the captain! This is just the kind of abdication of responsibility that seems to come naturally to modern footballers? If gooners are still looking for an explanation for our second half capitulation to chelsea in the cl qtr final 2 seasons ago, look no further!
I hope TH / Cole don't have the same attitude, that they are somehow better than those around them, that they deserve MORE? They are important parts of the club, but as they should know football is about the collective. Victoria Concordia Crescit.
So I’m on the fence too, I want TH to stay, but not at all costs. At the same time there’s no point selling him if AW can’t find any players he wants (who want to come) this seems to be the biggest problem now, we have the $ but we still can’t compete with the allure of Madrid, Chels, Barca, ManU (very arguably!) Think where we could be now if we had been able to attract & pay for the top level of player transfers when they happen eg Rooney, Baptista, Ronaldinho, Essien? Arsene has a difficult job now, he’s trying to get us into that position and until recently he has been on an uninterrupted upward trajectory towards that, this season will probably not bring much but we will get at least a top 4 finish.
Next season we will be playing in the CL in the best stadium in the country with new players signed and hopefully TH and Cole in the team. As fans I think we need to stay focussed on what is being built and not forget a decade of progress because the scum are above us in the table for a couple of weeks.
Jim
Anon's...why this brutal treat of a fellow gun like all us here.
I might presume some of you are Spud fans, sorry if am wrong.
Jack!
What did you do?.am saddened. i have been with you on this blog for a while now why these funny posts on you mate?
Fuck them all.
You yids, introduce your selves.
Footie...
I would love to see Hoyte called back and he gets to RB,Raph looks a good distributor of the ball and i would love to see him play CM instead of Flamini.
Jack what do you say on this
you never know - they just might do that - considering they are really fancying themselves - seeing that Fat Man Martin Jol-ly Fat Man & Jermaine Genius are having a dig at us seeing that they're in 2nd spot..
Good post Jim, like it!
Jack what blog can that be? i need to get a feel of winding this "yids' as nil described.
Hoyte and Aliadiere should both be recalled - we need them. For my money Ralph is part of the problem, not the solution.
anon..3:46,to be objective,Ralph isn't the problem.
I may personally say,he is rushy on his tackles,but he has been one of the most consistent players in our squad,On a better day,I can bet on this,he comes more better than any of our back four.I love his distribution rate and in most cases started moves that have resulted to goals,I think thats why Arsene has always trusted him on that position.
"He is our UNSUNG hero" as someone put it one time.
Please stop using the word 'yids'. Do you know how many jewish supporters there are that follows Arsenal.
Anon 4.00
Here Here, Racism not cool
Jim
If you read the article correctly, neither Jol or Jenas slagged off Arsenal.
Jol said that without two world class players in Viera and Henry that there performances do not meet the usual high standards, and that hopefully in the future Spurs can progress past them.
Typical press on a wind up.
I wouldn't take Ralph out the team - I think some ppl are just clutching at straws at the moment.. I respect everyone's opinion (well the Arsenal ones on this blog) but I dont think Ralph is the problem.
Eboue is supposed to be useful - from what I've seen of him he looks like he will do well - in the future. What we need is consistency. And I dont mean consistenly being beaten by teams which should damage. That and experience - which we are lacking & with the injuries at the moment its stretching our resources.
Hope you are right Jack but feeling a little unsure over Wenger's judgement at present.
laters comrades
laters comrades
nil there is no need for racist remarks. You should apologise.
How can players have a fixed number of first team games in their contract.
How can this benefit the future of the club?
Tommie, I have always felt the commentators have always been hard on Ralph.I feel he is a decent player,when i think of RB's in the EPL,i would end up fancing..mmmmmm..Non actually, may be G.Neville.
Stupid comment Jack. Fixed number of games while fit!
Anon 4:09,
I put straight forward my "Humble Apology". i didnt know it hurts my fellow Jewish..Sorry.
Am not going to try to justify my mistake,that word is used by some people in this world as "a slang" to mean "people who have small brains".didnt know its a racist a buse.Am humble on this,AM SORRY.
Anon..you can make me know what it means then.
Well if you are unable to take this serious nil you are insulting an awful lot of loyal Arsenal supporters. You have just disgraced yourself on here. Are you aware that Arsenal have a larger Jewish support than Spurs?
Grow up.
To put the record straight,Am NO RACIST Anon 4:09. am a plain man just like any other people not only on this site put world wide,any one buffled by my remarks,dont take it to heart,am SORRY.Didnt mean to hurt my fellow humans.....I hope am pardoned.
Anon.4:24 i have read the latter late.
Sorry dude.
OK.
you have not lost me i have been busy anon 3.17 i have been reading all todays posts though very constructive i must say, i would not sell henry big picture or not,we could never replace him for a start, but the real reason not to sell him is the whole team is set up for him if we sell him we wil have to replace another 3 or 4 players and our whole style of play,we have money allegedly we have not spent it, because we have not been able to find the quality players to come in( you all must agree we have enough up and coming players)i am sure if real did not come in for Baptista and Robinho they would both be Arsenal players by now, we have to accept that we are outsiders for the title now,but we can still win a cup or 2, 1 year of transistion is not bad,it gives the kids experience at the very least, i remember the bad old days of hillier,mcgoldrick etc it could never be that bad again.
there is no way we have a bigger jewish fan base than spurs
Sorry Mr. Serge, it was an independent report which was announced on Talk Sport approx. one year ago.
Mr. Serge..How do you know that the transitional period is only going to be 1 year. The trouble is we don't know how long it is going to take. We can hope for 1 year, but it may take 2-3 yrs.
not that i have a problem with that the more fans the merrier i just thought with spurs's nickname and all that!!! intersting, our main problem this year is not enough players from 24-28 the lack of experience is evident,it does not matter how great your potential is at 18 you should not be playing 50 plus games for a top level team
I agree Mr Serge.
I feel that even though Viera may not have been the player he was, by keeping him enhanced the squad and he could help the younger players. Plus, by keeping Edu the same thing. Experience and take the pressure off the youngsters.
Experience is good for the younger players, but I am not convinced gaining experience in a team that is losing is very good. Gaining experience in a strong team and learning the winning mentality is the experience they need.
Not losing to WBA, and struggling against Birmingham.
anon 5.06 i am saying only a year because AW is a good enough manager to buy 2-3 players of the right calibre and we will be a better team than in 2004,i say this because in 96 we poor the arsene bought, overmars,petit,etc and done the double 1 or 2 players is all we need,
anon 5.18 i agree they did not gain anything by losing to WBA we have spurs away at the end of the month we will not lose that game if henry,sol,and lauren are playing
I hear where you are coming from, but it is not an exact science that because AW was able to do it before he can do it again. Hope so.
I must admit I amfeeling a little concerned about the Spurs match. What I have seen of them they have yet to play well but are winning. An unusual thing for them. The winning that is.
Scarily accurate eddy the red.
eddy the red we have moved on from those times we one 2 championships then but nothing else we would finish anywhere in the top 8 now we consistently finish in the top 2 8 years in a row,win cups get into finals,we attract big players and are recognised throughout the world,we are not the same club we were then thanks to dein,and wenger we punch well above our weight financially,when we move into our new stadium we will be on a much more even playing field with the likes of chelski and manusa,that tells me we that history will not repeat itslef,
You have it wrong Shorty. Serge is a 40yr old virgin she male, who works part time sweeping the floor in a kebab shop. Then he/she goes home and watches his Bridget Jones video (he cannot afford a dvd player).
Like mummys boy jack, he/she too lives with his/her parents.
I am really glad the jackASS led us to this site.
