That was one terrible match.
How can you ever expect to win a match with Eboue and Denilson in the centre of the pitch, to me this seemed like an awful idea, and neither Eboue nor Denilson was able to deliver.
Without Fabregas, Arsenal are a different team and i think it showed against Fulham, we need him back more then anything, and along with him, Wenger has work to do in the transfer market despite himself refusing this.

Alonso, is my favorite to arrive, its needless to point out how much we need a DM, Alonso's vision, passing, play making, long range shots, and his work rate will be crucial to the gunners. I am just hoping wenger goes for the man before the window closes.

Is it me or are you selling the players you need the most? Seriously, Silvestre coming in and Senderos going out (it seems)? Ramsey and Nasri in for Hleb, Flamini and Silva?

It honestly doesn't look like you have a squad with much depth, instead of preparing for another possible injurt crisis, it looks like Wenger is catalysing one. I'm not suggesting you don't have a good squad, but if any season looks like spelling out UEFA Cup for you guys, it's this one.

That and it's still unclear on who is going to score your goals. Wonder what Arsene has up his sleeve, it'd better be good.

I wasn't aware that Eduardo was a proven goalscorer. I wouldn't have much faith in him to skyrocket your campaign. He was only a starter for like... a month? 4 goals in the prem?

I actually like Arsenal, btw. I'm hoping you'll surprise me, it'd make for a more interesting campaign.

I was surprised by the result, before the game I had you winning by a two goal margin. Fabregas was truly missed in the midfield. Now you will have Newcastle to worry about, but I just hope arsenal lift their spirit up after that game and not before it :D :tongue:

Eduardo was on a hot streak prior to his injury if I remember correctly.

12 goals in 29 games for Arsenal and 13 goals in 22 games for Croatia.
Surely he won't make the squad worse.

Well personally I'm hoping for Arsenal to drop more points.....but I'd like to see Eduardo back in decent form again, the lad deserved it....

I can't remember any streak, all I know is that in 16 league apps, he scored 4. If he can do better, all the more power to him, but I still think Arsenal are lacking a clinical finisher.

And Fili... no point in even answering you, really.

Well, even if this is coming from a Chelsea fan, I have to say I don't think you've seen Eduardo in action. He's clearly a clinical finisher,also the calmest finisher I've seen since in Arsenal colours since Bergkamp. (Henry was the most elegant, just to prove my point)



Clearly u could see the potential in him, he was just getting settled before he got the horrid injury. Nice song as well in the video. :D

In his first two seasons in England, Drogba scored 10 in 26 games and 12 in 29 games... And he didn't have his foot cut off in either of them, I think...

I'm just saying, though...

So I will repeat my statement of, we'll have to see how he does once he gets back.

And I know it's a weak point but, Eduardo's league average is a goal every 4 matches, Drogba's was better than one every 3.

It is a weak point Az :D, since Drogba's played more games than him in the EPL, you can't compare the goal average as Eduardo hasn't even got as many games under his belt.
Plus, Eduardo was played as 2nd striker most of the time, behind Adebayor, who is an out-an-out striker like our Drogba.
But like u said, we'll see once he's back, but I personally hope he does well given what he's gone through and his attitude while dealing with it.
