when Spanish fry said “…. Arsenal has the makings of a superb squad and if they can grow together over the next year or two and be complemented with two more quality signings this summer then we have the ability to challenge for the title…” i nodded. the key word here guys here is ‘QUALITY’ signings not ‘big’ names. on that note, a quality signing doesn’t have to be the likes of Eto’o alone even our own Eduardo could be really qualityliscious so let’s stop the bickering about ‘the big name signing’ and cry for more quality signings

My opinion is Gallas should go to where he thinks his super players are or leave the management to Arsene Wenger as it should be…

SF- i am also enjoying the bad talk and the assumptions that guys like drogba are making coz it only works to strengthen as more and if there’s an encounter anyone would like to avoid is a gunner out to make a statement. CHEERS!

Yes, Arsenal don’t buy big players and big buys don’t win often. Chelsea brought in Shevchenco, Ballack, Kalou and Mikel last season, did they win? Who was Henry, Viera, freddie and Pires etc when we bought them? By our nature Arsene don’t buy big but we’ve managed to be successful while big spenders like Spurs and Pool are still struggling to win the title. Arsene will replace all these players with unknowns but they will turn out to be greats. I’m just hoping that Arsene has plans to replace all the players we’re losing and that he’s also working to offload those who can’t cut it after having loads of opportunities. It will help reduce the wage bills. Buying big players is not the way of Arsenal club. So we won’t buy big but if we buy the small players who can prove themselves then we can challenge. Mind you, unknown Anelka was brought in to replace Wrighty and he ended up helping to bring in the first double after several years, so let’s hope for the best and trust Arsene.

I don't think Robinho will be going anywhere. Even if Arsenal were to look at signing him, after his performances with Brazil at the Copa America his value will rise significantly. Robinho is not the answer, a great player for sure, but too lightweight for Arsenal. I just think that the club would not get the best out of him because the likes of Gary Neville would kick lumps out of him like he did to Reyes. As for why we're not using the money, Ronaldo7, Wenger never really does that. You can argue that it's good or bad but his track record over the years speaks for itself.

I am going to have to agree with ronaldo7 on this one I think Robinho wants to stay at Madrid and I think some people in the Madrid boardroom want him to stay so that is a non-starter IMO.

Also I do not think he is the ideal choice he is a LWF/SS not a LMF, same with Babel really. We need a LMF who can score not a LWF who cant cross. He is better than nothing but not what we are crying out for.

i agree somewhat, Real will let Robinho go, but only if Arsenal send Fabragas the other way and they get to keep Reyes, and i’d rather see Fabragas stay! Reguardless of what others think, i wouldnt be mad at all if Arsenal sell out to someone who is willing to spend money, this is the new age of football, and unless there is a European salary cap of some kind, we’re gonna get lost among the teams with more money. It might be selling out, but when you win trophies no one complains!!

sorry guys robinho is going nowhere….tell me why hed go from MADRID to arsenal and plus madrid have a new coach and he likes robinho….all in all babel is on his way to liverpool or nowhere at all and it looks to me that arsenal will struggle this season and wont really sign anyone of the the big names…..sorry arsenal but if i was a supporter i wouldnt be happy with wenger..he is getting dominated by the 3 big clubs in chelski, man u, and pool….yess some of u say we arent as big as them but the fact of the matter is, is that AW went off and sold your best player Thiery Henry and YOU do have money so why not actually use it. personally id be worried if it was my team. Yes there is life after henry but it will be the toughest road ahead

The reports i’ve seen, say the only way Robinho comes to Arsenal is if Fabragas goes to Real. I’d rather keep Fab then gain Robinho. If we can get Robinho without losing Fabragas, we have an equal chance of winning the league this season as Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool.

It seems Freddie is finally on his way out, it hurts but it will be good for Arsenal if he leaves. His wages at 70+ is too high if you take into consideration time spent on the bench for the past two seasons. However, he’s a great person who genuinely loved Arsenal. He scored in all the FA finals that he played. I feel sad that we’re letting him go, but everything that has a beginning has an end. I only pray that Hleb don’t fuck up once more this season and that Theo will be stepping up. We,re trully in a new era.
