Sometimes it’s really that simple, isn’t it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.

@ Jay – I attached the picture in the most recent post. It’s pretty annoying.

yeah le gunner I saw that picture and it turned my stomach but in all fairness hleb was the most fouled player over last season in our team and he would be suited to the spanish league but whats happening about bischof as he said ages ago he’s coming and stil no word from anyone else maybe another quieter version of the nasri saga. Also what about that aussie from sydney fc that had a trial with us as it would be great to see an aussie in our team as we should get more games on fox.

Has anyone seen Hleb kissing the Barca badge? It was a sickening sight.This guy is a rat he has no values at all. cheap piece of shit What a BASTARDO. By contrast Gilberto what a man loyal as ever he left the club quietly without uttering a word to the press a fantastic man. Arsenal have rewarded his loyalty and allowed him to go on a free Ken friar ha said they had offers for him and could’ve cashed in on him but they didn’t instead they let him go and get the best deal for himself and that loyalty returned.Thank you very much Gilberto.according to Arsenal he is called in Brazil “The invisible wall” what a fitting nickname for a great character.

If AW is going to buy a CB, I would like it to be someone like David Wheater. He is big and has the potential to physically control the penalty area. He has better pace than Senderos and should not cost too much, even though he is English.

This might also allow Djourou to enter the mix to replace Flamini and Gilberto. That is the position he played while on loan and one that he has said that he is comfortable playing.

@ TDP – I agree completely with what you are saying, particularly this bit about Hleb:

“I used to appreciate what Hleb offers as there isn’t really anyone like him, and I mean that in a good way. But his treatment of the club has been atrocious and I am more excited by the prospect of Nasri now.”

I wouldn’t have minded if Hleb stayed on because he is such a unique player, but now he’s gone I’m not overly bothered over. Nasri will be an exciting player to watch.

Hleb you bastard! I wonder how much time it will take you to complain to guiordola that you want more playing time, you’re not in the proper position. Where is your next move going to be? I’m sorry I just find it troubling and realize why Arsenal couldn’t get it done last season. Too many individuals not enough team spirit. Hleb was not the only individual…Flamini, Ade. Three big players last year who even though played exceptional if they were a little less self involved may have gotten us silverware?

Hleb has not exatly endeared himself to Arsenal fans and I doubt anyone is that upset to see him go. I used to appreciate what Hleb offers as there isn’t really anyone like him, and I mean that in a good way. But his treatment of the club has been atrocious and I am more excited by the prospect of Nasri now.

I don’t think Wenger will sign anyone in CM or CB, and I think the vast majority of Arsenal fans would deem this to be a mistake. The options are there, they may be expensive but we’re talking about a manager who makes a profit in the transfer market every season. Wenger has the opportunity to bring in players who aren’t world class and aren’t all that skillful, but they are the players that we NEED. Woodgate would have been a fantastic signing in January, lets not lose some other players that would significantly improve our squad and provide the balance that we need to win trophies.

No player is indispensable. Departure of alex does not mean arsenal wont be able to compete. I salute wenger 4 letting him go unlike some who will not allow some player to ‘cos they know the player is the one that bring them success m d
