Arsenal F.C. Thread [2011/12]

[ShiftyPowers]

From one game against poor opposition? I'm not sure.

 

[Waldo1639]

One game preview from Nasri and he is not good... This is not rationally!
Anyway, I heard there is new possible signing for Arsenal - Joel Campbell

Nasri has a good potential but he should improve for sure and become more consistent. He started last season very good but lost his rythem duo to injuries and Arsenal bad form.

Arsenal have a good squad but their main starts have injury very often.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I don't know man, I've seen it somewhere that Nasri is better on the wing and doesn't have "it" to be a #10. Think I agree with it. Of course he's got an ego, so if Cesc goes you can't just tell him "tough luck junior" and keep him on the wing.

 

[Filipower]

Mata rumours? That'd be awesome. It would also mean Cesc is definitely gone, though. Still, this whole novella has to end, and Mata seems like he'd fit so well with Wilshere.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, that's a great transfer. If they get a CB to pair with Vermaelen, put Mata and Gervinho on the wings, and hell Arshavin could play that Cesc position... I like that team.

Im back

Hoping here to be not annoying........
Anyways......
New season is about to kick off and we haven't signed anyone to improve us where we need to. Nothing surprising though. We have a "self-sustainable model"

Transfers......

#Gervinho(IN)..... Breath of fresh air as he is more direct. A superb debut with two goals. He is a good signing considering the money we spent on him and I'm pretty confident he would improve us on attack. So welcome to Arsenal Gervinho!

#Carl Jenkinson(IN)..... From whatever I have seen he seems pretty solid and determined. Great to see a lifelong fan joining the club. Oh yeah great goal!

#Clichy(IN)..... He was **** but Gibbs is now worse.

#Deadwood(OUT)..... The winner Deni has gone. Now Almunia,Bendtner and Squirrel(wont happen) should go.
Rumours......

#Juan Mata(IN)..... This could be awesome from what I hear and read about him . Hope this goes through and he settles in quick.

#Phil Jagielka(IN)..... I think this is stupid. He is not a big monster to help us out in set-pieces. He would've been fine if we didn't have Koscienly as a ball playing cb and Squirrel. If Cahill is expensive considering he has a year left so why not try Mertesacker?

#Cesc(OUT)..... BORINGGGGGG Nothing new same old nonsense and yeah David Villa seems to have a "weakness" for him. If they can't pay we should ask for Abidal and Mascherano+money.

#Nasri(OUT)..... This is just painful. Half a season great form and thinks he is some champion. Anyways if he is sold......it doesn't MATA haha

Things don't look too good. The takeover was meaningless and we can't spend big unless we sell big. Its just stupid as it seems they are just gonna sell to Usmanov eventually. Oh PSG want Wenger.

Mata is better as SS behind the striker or as a false 9 like in U-21.

Can you describe Mata? As in what sort of player he is?

 

[Arnau]

Small, fast, great dribbler and good passer, not striker nor a playmaker. Understands very well the associative play that why i think he's pefect for Arsenal as Nasri replacement (if he is leaving).

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Nasri plays on the wing, and if he's fast and a great dribbler I think he'd be awesome on the wing for Arsenal. Remember, he wouldn't be asked to play like Beckham or that kind of wing, but more like Arshavin did for Arsenal; he can be asked to come inside and be almost another playmaker, but also get forward and score goals and put in crosses.

 

[fender]

I actually hope Mata doesn't go to Arsenal i'm gonna get flamed but if he does he's going to ruin his career.

 

[poet11]

This is just awful. We lost to our own chosen opponent in our own tournament. We continue the same form and the same problems without no improvement whatsoever. Late goals conceded through awful defending. Our defending is awful. The Emirates crowd have started booing already. Whichever site I go almost everyone is against Wenger. I think Arsene is gonna ruin his own legacy single handedly. Most of the fans feel he is a lier. He speaks of signings when tickets are to be renewed and then starts spinning. Our fourth placed trophy is no longer a security. I mean people are saying Liverpool are signing players on stupid money but they are signing players to compliment the players they have. They still need 2 defenders but are still more confident and organized while we need a major surgery.

 

[Sevillista]

Yeah... that's certainly possible.

 

[Filipower]

I know, all Spanish players that have gone to Arsenal have ruined their careers.




Oh wait.

 

[Arnau]

Yeah... that's certainly possible.

They are not signing another Reyes as i read in somewhere else, btw Reyes ruin his career himself.

 

[poet11]

It was his own fault. He still could have been a superstar if he made the correct choices. I am not saying he must have continued at Arsenal but he shouldn't have succumbed to pressure wherever he played.

My main concern is our owners. If Wenger leaves I have feeling that the new guy is gonna do the same things........."We have a self sustainable model so we cannot afford to shoot" and bla bla bla. We have a CEO who can't ever complete a deal and we miss out on players on a regular basis.

 

[Arnau]

Nasri plays on the wing, and if he's fast and a great dribbler I think he'd be awesome on the wing for Arsenal.

On the wing is easer to defend and it get worse, Mata is a very creative player with him Arsenal could play without a reference in the box and Van Persie & Gervinho making diagonals to the goal; like Barça does with Messi.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

LOL, it's just preseason bro.

That would be interesting. Arsenal try to do it with van Persie a little bit, but he's not the quickest player.
