I am thrilled with how the Stuttgart game went! RVP looked sharp and could have scored if he didnt go for that optimistic chip. Ade had 1 or 2 headers and Walcott was somehow denied from a wonder save from Lehmann. Vela looks like a fantastic player! and his partnership with Bendtner looks destructive. These could get a fantastic cup run going! Out of the 16 goals scored in pre-season so far 9 have been from Carlos and Niklas!! Wilshere has also been imense and he has had 3 goals in pre-season including a cool penalty. Now Juve and Real in the Emirates Cup, we have a good squad, need a defensive player though! I am liking G.Hoyte though. Ramsey and Denilson are playing well but i am still a fan of Abou Diaby, he is strong, skilful, competitve and has a great long shot! Fellow bloggers, who sohuld start in the Emirates Cup and what do you think of new signing Bischoff??

Bendtner and Vela they look like they are building a fantastic partnership. Vela is a fantastic player so is Wiltshere and still Nasri to come.Our The defence looked a bit shakey so we need 2 defensive players one at the back if Senderos goes and one in midfield.In terms of goals we look like we have plenty who could do the job Vela, walcott, Bendtner,RVP ,Eduardo (if fit)and of course the giant Adebayor. Add to that Wiltshere, Fabregas, Nasri they all have goals in them.
I’m more optimistic with this team than the last year. We just need to add a Viera type player in midfield and we are sorted.

i am alrady a massive fan of Wilshere and was so pleased when he got arsenals 3rd today. Vela is a player i am also a fan of, 4 goals in 2 games! He must do well this year and also Bendtner got a goal and thats his 5th in 2 now. RVP played a good game, didnt see to much of Nasri tho I would like to see Ramsey partner Cesc but I would like a new signing, aparently arsenal are after Gokhan Inler. We signed that Bischoff dud, he doesnt seem like a good player but AW signed him for a reason, so ill see how he goes.

So it seems Arsenal have signed Amaury Bischoff. Honestly, I can’t help but be a little disappointed with Arsenal’s transfer activity this summer bearing in mind what we have lost. Wenger said there would be ’2-3 signings of real quality that will please the fans’ and I hope that still happens. I just hope that Bischoff was not the ‘one more signing’ that Wenger spoke about. If, for example, Arshavin joins Spurs and we don’t make any move for Barry who is not joining Pool and is apparently staying at Villa, then I feel some fans will be disappointed. But having said all that, I trust Wenger in any situation and he has earnt the right to mould whatever team he chooses – he is the professor after all.

A fit RVP, a level headed Ade, and a solid effort from Cesc means in my opinion – a good chance at a double. Staying fit in any sport is key but in Arsenal’s case they have had some trouble achieving this the past few years. I have a good feeling about the side on a whole and it just occurred to me that Eduardo could be back this season as well…

Go Gunners!

SF-
I forget who commented (Arsenal Player) that having Van Persie back is like having a new signing. I agree! RVP’s only weakness besides injury is his attitude. Sky’s the limit for that lad.

RvP was missed dearly last season. I think most people had him pegged to fill the Henry void, but the injuries kept him from fulfilling that role. If we can have another great season from Adebayor and a “fitter” van Persie, we have a much better chance of silverware. I am slightly worried by the Wednesday poll I must say… All of the options are relatively untested… I do like Diaby and what I’ve seen of Denilson, but not as first choice options in the centre of the park. Not for me anyway. I hope I am proven wrong here, but Diaby, over a whole season, to be Fab’s foil? Hmm… Not convinced.
I still can’t wait for the start of the season though!

You speak the truth Spanish.. RvP would be certainly an asset to the club, should he be fit. He was bloody excellent in Euro 2008, and even if he plays around an hour there will still be Niklas or Eduardo (when he returns) to “Share The Load” (Samwise Gamgee). All in all, I would like to see Diaby play in the midfield as he does have potential, he just needs to develope a consistency. A new signing could make things uneasy. Hense why I voted Diaby.
