Lupoli is exactly the image we dont want. We get these, little nobody Italians, that arent that good. Im better the Lupoli, i’d bet money on that. We need the guys that actually can come here and start right away, not them guys just lookin for a chance to go thru the Arsenal youth system. Ricardo Montolivo would be a player of class, that could be a positive influence, not just a guy that came, didnt do anything, sat on the sidelines and went back to Italia. We dont really not need to campaign, just need to get that one player that people in Italia can get excited about, which would bring more support to the club from all over Italia. Lupoli is a nobody, i was never a fan of his, still aint. But there is still players coming up in Italia, that would jump at the chance to play for Arsenal, Rolando Bianchi, is a perfect example, he could do well at Arsenal. I usually dont like forwards from Italia in England, i dont think the style suits them, but midfielders and esp defenders could do great!

Marcus – You’re absolutely right about Materazzi. But he has developed quite amazingly since returning to Italy and is a completely different player in my opinion.

Interesting thoughts. There is definitely an opportunity to develop the club’s image a little more in Italy, but I guess the focus of Arsenal is to develop the image of the club in places that don’t have such strong leagues. There’s definitely merit in what you’re saying, but the club did not have to campaign the way you have outlined to bring in Reyes or Fabregas from Spain either. The idea to bring in players is nice as well, but even Arturo Lupoli wanted to go back home to complete his development. Any other thoughts?

Oh, and valon behrami would be a very good buy, he would deff be willing to come to Arsenal. And at one point, Buffon was ready to come to Arsenal, so there is players in Italia that we can bring in, class players at that, but to get the players like Cannavaro, Nesta, we gotta get them young, and like i said, Arsenal need a bigger fan base in Italia, put an Italian player, a good Italian player in a Arsenal shirt, all the kids in Italia will be wearing it, which in return woul lead to the younger players wanting to be like them and favoring Arsenal, maybe not as their fave club, but their fave club outside of Italia.

Well that isnt always the case, i agree with you about the left and right, we dont need Grosso, but he is one guy that if Arsenal really showed interest, they could snatch him up. He’s real class, he just hasnt been his best the last couple of years in league play, i think one of the reasons is because of who he plays for. As Italian’s we love our counrty, and we’re use to the way we grow up playing football, we like our style. I think Arsenal needs to go to Italia, if we want Italian players, take tours there in the Summer, get some kinda fan base in Italia, and the players are sure to follow. Someone brought up maybe bring in Ricardo Montolivo, who in Italia is called “The Next Totti”. That would be a start to gettin more interest from Italian players.

Yeah, it’s true. My doctor noticed that my dad wasn’t moving his right arm when he walked, and it’s cause his legs are different lengths. So the bottom can affect the top and vice versa.

Spanish Fry, sorry, but Materazzi crapped out at Everton. He’s not in any way “too good” for Arsenal. (And he got 3 red cards and 12 yellows in 27 games along the way).

[...] is obvious that the injury that Gallas suffered against Blackburn was not a welcome one. Phillipe Senderos will now be required to start every game alongside Kolo [...]
