believeing wenger will make some signings is like believeing in the tooth fairy

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 5:57 pm

he shouldnt be able to spend this money. Sack him after the season!!! Bring in Hiddink!!!

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 6:01 pm

Sakho/chielini,
dzeko/toure
Hugo Lloris

would be perfect… but wont happen….

will be
Chamakh,
cheap gk… (poss sorensen, if rumours are to be believed) wont spend more than 3 mil
an unknown 17 year old cb who no-ojne heard of.. for about 5 mil…

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 6:22 pm

why can’t he buy diego forlan

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 6:25 pm

Chamahk for striker.
Matuidi for DM.
Sorensen for keeper.
Traore for striker

These will be the three signings in the summer. Really should be this:

Sahko for CB.
Lloris for keeper
Veloso for DM/CB
Hazard for wing
Podolski for striker

I love these idiot articles posted like “Arsenal set to spend money” As long as this moron Wenger is here he’ll continue along his “pretty football with no trophies” attitude and keep bringing on cheap reclamation projects cause arsenal is the only team that clearly doesn’t need to spend money to win. Enough with these lies. best write up above,anyone who believe wenger will spend moeny must believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy.

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 7:13 pm

chamak or villa for striker
lloris or buffon for keeper
shawcross or hangerland for defender
melo or matudi for midfielder.
sign 4 of them and arsenal wud be the best team in the world.

“believeing wenger will make some signings is like believeing in the tooth fairy”

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 8:06 pm

Once upon a time we had the invincibles,now we have bendtner,denilson,almunia and………:(

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 8:23 pm

if this is true i would like to see these 3 sign for us-

hugo lloris
hangelaand
huntelaar

the chances of this happening or nething like this happening is highly unlikely but would be nice to see

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 8:30 pm

mate trust me this guy can buy players look at the players hes bought and im a liverpool fan
look at arshavin for instant i adore the way he plays i dont think they need anoither striker they hav van persi but liverpool do hav the same situation they just need sumone gud enough to sit on the bench for defence they definetly need someone and they just need sumon hu can play by fabregas and they r sorted
almunia is a shokin goalkeeper for arsenal think of what goalkeepers they had e.g lehman they need a goal keeper like him from lyon that hugo lloris played wiked against liverpool he looks set to be next big goalkeeper

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 8:34 pm

5 mil on goalkeeper, 10 on a centre half and 20 on a striker would be nice

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 8:35 pm

We will have £40 million to spend. From
the sale of Fabregas to Barca.
Wenger will get Fabianski and Szneschy to fight for the number 1 shirt, won’t buy a relacement midfielder or striker but will stick to the dross that just negotiated new contracts. Arsene(al) = Joke club.
My colleagues who are Chav/Manc fans have made my
life hell today. Would the manager or team give a toss?
Probably not!
Seaman to Almunia, Keown to Silvestre, Vieira to Denilson, Henry to Bendtner… I can clearly see a 5 year plan. To fuck us over!!

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 8:40 pm

i agree with the last post

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 8:50 pm

same as above.

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 9:00 pm

We need to keep Cesc with the squad… v.Persie will be back with a 100% heart and commitment… then we should go for few more killers like Pato (Brazilian so easy to bring him to UK if needed) , melo and any Def who dont want to visit opponents D…

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 9:01 pm

what others think?

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 9:09 pm

Lloris GK, Sakho CB, Cissoko LB, Huntelaar ST Chamakh ST.
Wenger revolutionised our game in the 90′s, but, it seems that he’s stuck there and we’re becoming too predictable in our play.
To succeed we gotta move forward, the more trophies we win, the more global awareness of our club, the more money will come in via merchandise. Just look at ManUre, Real, Barca. Ask anyone in the world about club football and those three clubs will get majority of mentions.
Wenger has to wake up and realise this simple model, but in order to do this, he must spend and spend big come summer. His youth project sounds good for in 10yrs time but none of those players will be around for that long, we would’ve sold em to Barca or Real by then.
Come on Wenger, wake up, or maybe its time to give Mr Hiddink a call?!!

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 9:12 pm

I gave up on Wenger when he played a under strength team against the spuds in a bloody semi final. He doesn’t respect the fans and he doesn’t understand football in the modern era. He plays the youth in the CC so he can sell them on and is now pissing about with the FA cup. When once I would listen to him intentively I now cover my ears and look away. I loved that man but he has worn me out. He really really doesn’t know.

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 9:20 pm

SACK AW!!! He is the problem!!

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 9:23 pm

Lloris
Hangeland/Sakho/Kjaer
Matuidi/Veloso/Sissoko/Melo
Chamakh/Dzeko/Villa

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 10:56 pm

marouane chamakh-because his free and his a tall,quick player who can score 10-15 at least in a rotation system,and would invaribly get better under wenger

shay given and matthew upson-both have years of prem league experiance and would instantly improve and add leadership and discipline to the defence,and i personally think we could do with a few british/irish players in the defence,its worked before..

felipe melo-tall,solid and physical defensive (and possibly offensive) player who would instantly add more bite and protection to the midfield.After taking part in the world cup (barring injury) he would surely relish a move to the premiership rather then a stagnent serie a in an unspectacular juventus team

david villa-say no more

Out-almunia
fabianski
silvestre
traore
gallas
denilson
vela
eduardo (on loan to get his sharpness and confidence back)

it pains me to say it,but maybe he might consider offloading either rosicky or nasri if they continue to prove as ineffective,or at least bring in the players that will give them the competition they need to up their game

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 11:17 pm

We need arsene wenger but he needs to learn how to spend.
he needs to buy quility players if he wants to keep fab and arshavin happy.
i think we need to buy villa for attack, a good strong defender not a shit one that no one has ever heard of. I would get Lahm, Clichy has been shocking over the past 3 games or so. Then I would bring lloris in. Then sell fabianski, campbell, silveste, bentner, denilson. Then aster we sell and bring all though players if wenger is so desperate he can buy any 6 year old player he wants.

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 11:31 pm

You sad so and so . Stop thinking short term , give the team support on Wednesday . Yes we need new players but we are not going to get them now so support the team . I oh so wish we were back at Highbury where we would get a commited crowd and not the new come johnney `s

win or lose up the ARSENAL!!!

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 11:33 pm

If he taught them how to defend we wud b top. Imagine being 1 nil down with an hour to go and throwing lads forward. Where does song and gallas be. Buffon,higuain and yaya wud make us best in the world

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 11:49 pm

I think Mr. Wenger will be forced to buy due to the fact that Cesc will be sold to Barca this summer! £45mill will allow him to bring in the much needed defensive players we need. My choice would be easy, Joe Hart/Shawcross/V.deWiel/Gonalons/Chamakh. We have a strong foundation with Gallas/Vermealen/Sagna/Song/Diaby/Nasri/Rosicky/RVP/Arshavin and the youth of Djourou/Gibbs/Ramsey/Lansbury/Wilshere/Walcott/Vela/Bendtner. Add the new faces to this and we are a very strong outfit! For one season i would just like to see us keep our top players fit for the whole of the season!!!!

anonymous - February 8th, 2010 at 11:52 pm

Reply to anon 1131, if we’d stayed at Highbury we wouldn’t have dismantled the Invincibles. As for your patronising “Johnny come latelys” they pay there money they got an opinion. Idiot.

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 1:04 am

Sack Arsene Wenger. He is shameful with his outburst that domestic cups are not important. What sour grapes! And 3rd in the league is something to be proud of?

He is tactically naive in games and strategically naive in transfers. He sold Abebayour, and got no replacements. He thought Vela and Eduardo were more than enough. It is now proven that these players are overhyped.

Almunia – Jelly hands, slow reflexes

Sagna – cannot cross a decent ball (be reminded he should be a Pro…)

Centrebacks – good commitment, but too short, and have shown that they are uncapable of dealing with muscle-men such as Drogba and Rooney

Clichy – Ashley Cole is miles better than him. He can’t defend, and always liable for high-profile mistakes

Centre-mids – Ok

Left/Right wings – We have no wingers at all. Rosicky/Nasri/Walcott can’t even beat a man on the dribble. Useless players!!!

Eduardo – Completely useless.

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 1:08 am

Fabregas will leave for Barcelona for a low price because he is eager to go…
Maybe 35 Million/40 Million. But who will Arsene buy with these monies?

Haha, sadly, he will buy crap players, at 0.5 million, 1 million, 1.5 million, 2 million, and maybe Break the Bank and Record to buy a player at 15 million.

How exciting is it to be an Arsenal supporter?

Sack the French Guys – managers and players.

Wenger has done more than any manager in this league. Do people forget boring boring arsenal, do people forget Brue Bloody RIOCH! My God Wenger is a saint and has taken our club through economic crisis and turned our club into a “superclub”! I don’t know where this breed of Glory hunting Arsenal Fans came from. Look at the long time, we are the most financially stable club in the premier league. We rely on know one, we built a brand new stadium and we continually finish top 4. WAKE UP!!! Call yourself Arsenal Fans you make me sick. If Wenger walked out tomorrow It would be because of you “fans” and we would be in CRISIS. This team will be the best Denilson, Song, Diaby WILL make the grade. I the love this club, I love the our style of football and I don’t want to end up like Leeds.

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 2:24 am

I dont understand why the fans are moaning. Last season was the same, just like the previous seasons. Arsene is building a team and it will be ready really soon, so just hang on in there, it will be ready when the other top clubs stop playing football and sell all there players. Come on, lets get real, arsenal is a business, buy cheap, sell expensive, keep the profit!!!! Simple!!!! nothing will change at the emirates, fancy football that doesnt lead to anything, pratting around the box and not even a shot. Come on!!! i shout at the TV untill it turns itself off. Arsenal will never win a thing untill things change at the top. Sold Adebarndoor replaced him with Bendtner. Play Arshavin as a striker even though he plays best in the hole. We have enough wenger says. Wallcott runs with the ball and then hits a wall week in week out. Sagna, what a waste. How can a footballer not cross a ball? i find it incredible. Clichy, yes he’s been out injured but jesus, he’s slower than Gordon Brown running to the Iraq enquiry.

It’s a shame though. But like they say, drastic things need to happen before drastic changes are made. At this rate we wont even get fourth spot so Wenger will go out and buy in the summer and start the so called building process all over again. It’s shyte, but its arsenal, and its been shyte for a long time.

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 3:05 am

I agree with the ones who have said how about we support the team now and worry about the new signings in the summer as they arent going to happen now. Get a grip guys and get back on the wagon. Up the Arsenal

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 8:38 am

Wenger never had any intention of buying anyone in january. He delayed with the return to fitness of bendter, which was ultimately the reason he didn’t sign anyone. The line if the ‘right player’ comes along, just kept the fans and those who want him to spend big on the board off his back!

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 10:28 am

We will be ready next season, you can continue to belive that myth that ha sbeen said for years. I do support the team, we have the skill, not the phisicality. Wenger has admited this team is too young, which I feel is ridicoulus, Gallas, Rosicky, Arshavin, Eduardoo etc… So hopefully he will bring in some expeirence, just come above Spurs, if we don’t we won’t live it down, I think we need to become the loudest fans in country, Stoke are a smaller club yet louder.

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 10:37 am

Oh gunas wat a shame!a crop of inconsistent and unyieldîn players n certainly an abraham of a coach

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 10:52 am

Damn it writting in foreign languge again. Something about Abraham Lincoln on the couch, stopping at a yield sign or a dyxlexic Spurs fan.

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 12:25 pm

Mr. Wenger has said we are too young, well he’s been saying that for years. A new keeper please. I don’t know many foreign keepers so iI’m not going to give an opinion on who. I would love Dzeko, but 35mill does seem too much. I hope in the summer he realises the expeirence with the youth will be usefull

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 2:19 pm

Wow listen to all us Arsenal Supporters we were the greatest 2 weeks ago and after we lose games to Man Utd and Chelsea we are the worst team in the world we are sticking the knife in at all the players and manager!!! 3rd in the premier league is awful??? Sorry we DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY LIKE MAN UTD OR CHELSEA END OF!!!! Agreed I love a good moan just like all you and the loss HURT LIKE HELL yes I would love to have word class players at Arsenal WE CANT AFFORD THEIR WAGES!!!! GET REAL ALL OF YOU!!!! Injuries have been unreal this season, I do think wenger should have bought in January but his targets may not have been available and why not wait until the summer dont buy just for the sake of it….I Agree with one statment WORLD CLASS GOALKEEPER WENGER BREAK THE BANK!!!

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 4:40 pm

With fabregas being sold for 40-50 this summer why not turn the money quickly on David villa. With real Madrid spending so much last season, Barcelona buying zlatan it seems like a good offer could pry villa out of valencia. Imagine a frontline of rvp and villa with arshavin and rosicky/nasri/Walcott on the wings. Arsenal for the title.

anonymous - February 9th, 2010 at 11:21 pm

the arsenla board need to do 1 of 2 things

1. sack AW and bring in mourinho

2. tell wenger to actaully but players
if they do keep wenger hes needs to go and buy either
GK- Buffon or Hart or Green
CD- keep the ones weve got also keep silvestre nd campbell
MF- Ronaldinho, never played in premier league nd said he would one day want to, also he woulnt cost a very large amount u could get him for 15-25 mill or buy Ashley Young
ST-chamack on a free plus maybe bring in either pavlychenko or donovan from L.A before everton get him

so the team would be

Buffon/Hart/Green

Clichy Vermelean Gallas Sagna

Song

Arshavin Fabregas Ronaldinho/Young

Van Persie Chamack

Subs: Mannone, Pavlychenko/Donovan, Gibbs, Campbell,Nasri,Rosicky

If we bought these players then could see arsenal being a very dominant force and would win at least 1 trophy

anonymous - February 10th, 2010 at 9:46 pm

Gk – Lloris
CB – Sakho
MF – Hazard
ST – Bojan
