Arsenal FC Thread

[rangerbsh6]

Either that or we're really missing our Africans come January.
Anyways,Wenger was completely right when he said that the whole CC squad could play in the first team.The future looks bright as always.
O damn,just realized I'm over 2,000 posts.****.

The only player I would like to see added is Oba Martins and not because we are lacking in attack but because it would only give us more options and allow us to let Robin play on the wing at times.

what are you talking about? Last year we had a poor performance in the CL Group stages, and we got knocked out by PSG!! In the FA Cup, we got knocked out by Blackburn. We didnt play a single bit like champions in the EPL Last season and the only cup which we actually did well in was the Carling Cup. So i have no idea wht u mean that we prove to be big contenders for most cups when it was only 1 cup which we had actually contended for.

What do u mean we are lacking in attack? We have scored 15 goals in 6 games already, yes yes i know u'l say "well most of those goals come from our midfielders" but thats the whole point. We're getting enough goals, i dont see the need for any more strikers when we have players like RvP, Adebayor, Bendtner, Eduardo, Wallcott etc. If Martins were added then we had to replace either RvP/Adebayor or Rosicky(Left midfielder who RvP would replace as Martins would be added to the attack). And those 3 players deserve to be in the starting lineup. Martins is a great player but i dont think we need him in our squad. I think arsene will sign some youngster who he feels has potential to grow to become a superstar, coz apparently, all our positions are packed with great players and i dont see the need to sign any big start player like martins.
In my opinion this our situtation:

Forwards/Strikers: We have enough of these. Like i said RvP, Adebayor, Bendtner, Eduardo, Wallcott etc. who can all play brilliant football.

Side midfielders/Wingers: Rosicky, Hleb, Traore, Walcott, Diarra and sometimes Eboue (Tbh, arsenal dont need wingers because Arsene's tactics only suit side-midfielders. Wingers would just need our tactics to be changed completely)

Central midfielders: Fabregas, Gilberto, Flamini, Abou Diaby, Denillson, Song. (We definately dont need any central midfielders since its full.)

Defenders: Eboue, Toure, Gallas, Sagna, Clichy, Sanderos, Traore, Hoyte, Flamini ( Well as you can see we definately dont need any defenders.)

Goal-Keepers: Lehmann, Aluminia, Fabianski. (Well questions may arise at this position. Lehmann is not in form and if he stays in the current situation which he is in, i hope Arsene does sell him. Aluminia has shown better performances than Lehmann, though i feel each big club has a super-star goalkeeper, and i cant see Aluminia as a super-star goalie since he cant be reliable at evert stage. Fabianski has potential but no experience. We should definately keep him.)

You can decide wht we need, but i feel we dont need to spend money on big players.

But if we HAD to sign big, i would say Huntelaar.

Ok re-read what I said. I said YEAR after YEAR and you mention last year. Last year is ONE season. How many times have we been in the FA Cup Final in the last 5 seasons, how many times have we progressed to the knockout stages in the CL, how many times have we progressed in the Carling Cup?

Again I state, we have proven year after year we can progress in Cups. Also what are you talking about we got knocked out by PSG? PSG hasn't been in the CL in I don't know how many seasons, you need to do some research on who we played in the knockout phases last year. What does poor performances have to do with anything? Did we or did we not PROGRESS past the group phase? Answer.....yes we did. PSV beat us in the round of 16 to go to the round of 8.

Once again re-read what I said.

The only player I would like to see added is Oba Martins and not because we are lacking in attack but because it would only give us more options and allow us to let Robin play on the wing at times.

I would like to see Oba added because he is class and would give us another dimension. No players deserves to be in the starting XI, it's something you earn. Right now Robin lines up in the middle of the park when he is most dangerous coming in from the left as shown last season when he was scoring normally before his injury. Robin, Oba, and Adebayor as a 3 headed attack would be nasty.

You mention Eduardo but he hasn't done anything yet. He may be class but he needs the normal adjustment time that players need coming to the ePL so don't expect anything great from him this season. Oba is proven in the EPL. Walcott will eventually be a lock on the wing and in our 4-5-1 set up having Adebayor as the lone ST with RvP as the LF and Oba as the RF or interchanged would give us many possibilities.

Are you sure that you support Arsenal? How would our tactics need to be changed? Do you not remember Ljungberg or Pires? All wingplay, Arsenal's game is based on quick passing and wing play with either wingers or fullbacks.

You have Walcott as a ST but he is NOT a ST for Arsenal. He has only player in the ST position once and that was this season, any other time he is behind the main ST as a CF or on the wing because he isn't a true ST.......yet.

Traore and Diarra don't even feature in the team so what are you talking about? Song doesn't play and won't be much of a presence. I never said we needed anything, I said I would like to see him added to the squad because Oba is class.

We definitely need a LB/RB because Sagna, Clichy and Eboue are the only true fullbacks on our roster and you should always have 4 total especially considering how much we have injuries to these positions.

[Matieo10]

Holy lalalala!! Gowill is now Ariseforlife...again...oh well, I was getting used to Gowill.

btw I wanna take back whatever i'ev said about Adebayor...I praise him now

I meant PSV *** it was like a typo. I think any1 sensible enough with a brain would understand that. And btw progressing through the group stages in much of a big deal for arsenal, we're 1 of the big 4 of england, obviously we MUST go through that. Ur posts r kinda pointless m8.

LOL? Walcott himself said that his position is "striker". Arsene said he would play walcott as a striker later am i right? Yes. And obviously our tactics would change. Pires didnt play in the wings, he played in the sides. Traore and diara HAVE played for the starting line up, incase u havent seen arsenal vs newcastle carlingcup, which diara performed superbly. The only player we had that played in the wings was ljunberg, tch tch i expected better. Eduardo has potential, and im sure i'l prove u wrong durin the season or later, i've watched him play for Dinamo Zagreb and can say he's a great addition to our attack. Van Persie is MUCH more dangerous as a striker than a "left midfielder" which i have no intent to see him replace Rosicky.

Oba is a great player but not needed in our squad at the moment.

[Thade2532]

dont think martins is a player we need, he hasnt been consistent for newcastle so far, i think were ok in attack plus we have Vela who is coming back in january i think, maybe Huntelaar is a player Wenger should look out for seein as we have more money to spend now and Adebayor will be off to the African Nations Cup around that time also a centre is needed, Senderos isnt a good player at all i know hes young but when Toure goes well have Gallas and Senderos then whoelse is good enough to fill Toures boots

[j wheazy]

VP better NOT play on the wing. he is class up top, he can slow the game down & allow the midfield to join in attack.


eduardo is going to be a class player, you can tell just by looking at him.

i was one of the very few people who said henry leaving would be a great thing for the club & its turned out to be true. you could tell watching them play that hleb, cesc & VP were all VERY intimidated by him. he used to rip hleb a new one & now look how he is playing.

overall i think we have a great squad. i would have liked to see martins come over in the summer, he has a ton of pace & can finish, but adebayor is looking better than henry at the moment.

I seriously don't think your brain can comprehend the simplest of posts. You're the one that brought up progression through the group stages and now you say my post is pointless! Why did you even bother quoting me then mentioning something I never talked about in the first place, you need to get a clue seriously.

By the way, typos are misspelling words etcetera, putting PSG over PSV is just incorrect and nothing more. Don't try to turn it around and attack someone sensibility because you can't admit you were wrong in your post, it's that simple.

Oba is a great player but not needed in our squad at the moment.

William Gallas has said he prefers to play CB fulltime but he still plays LB for us.....your point is what? Walcott has always played ST but saying what you WANT to play and lining up where the manager wants you is completely different. As for your statement no you aren't right. Arsene said he can some day see Walcott playing as a ST but no time soon.

Are you a moron? "Pires didn't play on the wings he played in the sides" You seriously need to learn the game or open your eyes. Pires was a LM that roamed the sideline which is on the "wings". Did he come in the middle? Yes, but he came into the middle once he was in the area of the 18 yard box and Freddie was the same way.

Lasana Diarra and Armand Traore played in the Carling Cup not the CL or the EPL they are two COMPLETELY different monsters. Starting in the Carling Cup is the equivalent of winning a spelling bee against a man with no vocal chords it doesn't matter. Arsene has always used the CC and FA Cup early stages as testing grounds for the youngins and a supposed Arsenal supporter would know that much. When Lasana and Armand start becoming regulars in the normal fixture and CL matches then you can mention them as though they mean something to the team. Traore played a total of 6 games last year and once this season and you make him sound like he is a major figure in the team, get a clue.

Prove me arong about what? Did I ever say anything negative about Da Silva? No. So what are you going to prove me wrong about? Good for you I'm glad you watched him play for Dinamo, what does that have to do with anything because I never said he wasn't a good player did I?

Did I say anything about Robin playing as a left midfielder? Re-read what I typed I said LF now anyone that knows anything about soccer knows that LF is left forward and left forward is what he played last year before his injury and what he is played when he partners Sheyi. Anyone that knows about Robin know that he started his career as a LWM/LF and since joining Arsenal he has played LF/ST. When you see him drop back deep and wide that is what a LF does, a la Henry pretty much every season he played at Arsenal except 2001/2002.

Robin is most effective when he has the ball at his feet and he is able to move freely and he doesn't do that when he is employed as a ST, he does that when he is playing LF and Sheyi is the lone ST as he was for many stretches last season and most of this year so far. Do research and you will see that I am right.

You seriously need to learn the game because I would have expected you to know a little more about Arsenal if you are a so-called supporter of the team.

Finally, did I say anything about Oba being needed in the team? I said I would like to see him signed, I didn't say he needed him, however we do need to sell Gallas and buy a LB and RB.

You just said william gallas plays as a LB for arsenal.... Have you seen an arsenal game with gallas in it ? GALLAS PLAYS AS CB WITH TOURE U lalalala! CLICHY Is our left back....gawd! State me if im wrong, you did say previously that you would love to see vPersie in the LWM? And blalalaheres a difference between LM and LWM. Left midfield ISINT the wings u dum****. Its a sort of a central midfielder role being played on the left side. A LWM is a player with roles like Ronaldo, Quaresma, Malouda, Ribery ETC, ppl who run along the lines and cross the balls usually! U DONT EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LM OR LWM SO lalalala!

[Thade2532]

ok ok i dont think we really in need of attacking players until january maybe after the african cup of nations begins when Adebayor goes but i think we need to strengthen up in defence RB were ok but CB and LB were not, Clichy is great and everything but if he gets injured who'll play there maybe Sagna and put Hoyte at RB

[AriseForLife]

When Clichy is healthy yes...he plays CB with Toure, but he's also played LB many many times for Arsenal. When Gallas first joined Arsenal a majority of his games were played on the flank, actually most of his games were played at fullback. Last season he played both spots, but CB more the LB. Part of the reason he left Cheslea is Jose's reluctance to play him fulltime at CB.

I said I would like to see Robin play on the left as in LF/LWM, not once did I say anything about LM as you have constantly brought up. I realize there is a difference between LM and LWM, but it's obvious you can't read because not once in this exchange have I ever brought up the LM position. LM is NOT a central midfield role, that would be LCM which is still different than LM. As I've said numerous times go back and re-read my posts, it's obvious that you have because you keep making yourself look like a fool by mentioning things I haven't even talked about. Just like my Pires comment, he was a LM and Freddie was the RM, but Pires roamed the sidelines box to box and rarely came in the middle unless it was in the box area. The only reason that Pires isn't classed as a winger is because he isn't that fast and he doesn't cross the ball. Freddie roamed the wings but wasn't a winger because he loved to come in the middle and tackle someone before breaking back out wide. Arsenal has never had a true winger since Arsene was there unless you count Overmars but that was shortlived because he left asap. Robin and Theo are the closest players we have to being true wingers and even Da Silva has been used on the RWM, but when Robin is used as an LF and Sheyi is left in the ST role we are more fluid. If you can't see that then this is a hopeless exchange.

You seriously need to reeducate yourself on the game because it's obvious you don't know much about the game. I like that I am getting to you, considering that you have started to take this personal as you ALWAYS seem to do. You're a very sensitive person and that's something you seriously need to get over.

I won't worry about getting your panties in a bunch anymore because I can see going back and forth with you is not doing much good towards making you more knowledgable. Considering this exchange done because it's obvious you don't know much about Arsenal outside of what you read on the internet.

[AriseForLife]

When Clichy gets hurt and trust me he will get hurt, Bakary will play there because it's his natural position. We are not fine at RB because Hoyte is not a natural RB and this ploy of playing people out of position is not wise. OVer the last 3 seasons we've used Flamini, Hoyte, Diaby, Denilson, Gilberto all out of position at times because Arsene will not just spend the money to buy someone that can play the spot full time when either a RB/LB or CB has gotten injured.

We need to buy another CB and add a fulltime LB and RB for those times we suffer injuries because Eboue hasn't been healthy since his initial breakout season and Clichy hasn't played a fully season since he's been with Arsenal.

I'm comfy with Toure, Senderos, and Hoyte as our main CBs but I would love to see Gallas sold and add someone of real class, as well as adding another CB so we don't have to use so many people out of position. Over the last 3 seasons that we've dealt with injuries the most, we have had to use so many makeshift lines up that I've often wondered why Arsene doesn't just buy someone so when this season rolled around I figured we would have added some replacements but once again we didn't.

I think Arsene is great in a lot of areas, but spending money is one area that he needs to learn.

Who cares wht hes played before for Arsenal, im talking about wht we should be playing NOW! When Adebayor was a kid he used to play as a CB, no one gives a toss about that now coz hes such a brilliant striker, RvP used to play on the left wings before, no one cares about that now coz hes such a great striker. Ppl want to play players in the positions where they are most effective, but if there are too many players who r specialised in a specific position (A problem we DONT have in Arsenal), then drastic measurements must be taken; a player should be moved to a position which he can also play in(though he wont be much effective).

I said I would like to see Robin play on the left as in LF/LWM, not once did I say anything about LM as you have constantly brought up. I realize there is a difference between LM and LWM, but it's obvious you can't read because not once in this exchange have I ever brought up the LM position.

If you can't see that then this is a hopeless exchange.

You said u would like to see RvP in the LWM, again i say, NOT A GOOD POSITION FOR A PLAYER LIKE RVP! He is much more danagerous as a striker. I dont know how he would play as a LF, coz i havent seen him in that role so i cant judge that comment.

Obviously LM is not a LCM role...gawd. LM Is not even the LWM role too(which u didnt understand). I said LM is a "SORT OF ROLE LIKE A CM ON THE LEFT SIDE", i didnt say it is a CM role *** ur changing my words. It requires a majority of a CM's techniques and few of a LWM, thats why there is a difference between a LWM and a LM.


You seriously need to reeducate yourself on the game because it's obvious you don't know much about the game. I like that I am getting to you, considering that you have started to take this personal as you ALWAYS seem to do. You're a very sensitive person and that's something you seriously need to get over.

About the pires comment, i just proved wht u EXACTLY said a few posts before so ur just agreeing with wht i said....

And about the 'sensitive' part, ok for that i might be wrong, so i apologise, but sometimes i really get ticked off when someone calls me a "fake" arsenal supporter. I've supported arsenal since i was 5 years old, and i've been to 3 of their games(which is something REALLY amazing for me since i live in the middle-east).

[Matieo10]

God, both of you shut the **** up!! you're making the Arsenal thread un-effin-barable.

Ones opinion should'nt overshadow anothers, why resist? why? Nixo stop being a baby...Gowill, we know you know your shiet, but just stop for the sake of being humble, you're on the verge of being cocky now.

Hoyte is a RB and a good 1 too, i thought he was brilliant during last years Carling Cup run

[AriseForLife]

Actually Hoyte is a CB that has been used as a RB. Just like Flamini is a CDM that has been used as a RB, CB, and LB.

[AriseForLife]

You do realize that LWM and LF are virtually the same position? The only difference is that LWM start in the midfield and LF are in the final quarter of the field out wide. Look at some old game footage of van Persie with Henry was with Arsenal and you will see that he played LWM/LF while Henry was playing ST in our 4-5-1 formation. You've seen him play LF maybe you just didn't realize that is what he was playing. In the champions league when we run the 4-5-1 formation the 2 support players right behind the ST are the LF and RF where van Persie scored twice from last season.

[rangerbsh6]

Geez.That game was nerve racking.Finally we beat them.

[Thade2532]

i was always sure he was a RB

correct me if im wrong, but i think ur talking about the LWG? Coz if u r, then yeah i agree with u coz Van persie CAN be effected as a LWG.
