Sham good choice with Jones that would work real well. Imagine that a Heskey type player that can actaully score and run.

thanks for the vids SF the little russians magicians a legend…love him and he shud serve as a reminder to people that AW can produce in the market…all be it a saga…refreshing to hear a loyal player honest and upbeat about next seasons prospects and the respect he has for le boss and teammates.
wud love him further up but dnt think we can play dat way wit him and robin,too similar, and nasri,cesc and rosicky in behind as dat wud not solve any of last years weaknesses in mid…still need a powerhouse to let these guys express themselves.
sick of ade now hes a prat, hes been angling for his more money move wit city tryin to offset a bid from italy or spain and now his bluff hasnt worked and he sees the competition at city hes having 2nd thoughts…i challenge any arsenal fan to defend the guy now.
arsene go sign kenwyn jones and a def mid and we will win silverware…hav a suspicion wer in for jones since sund are in talks wit crouch as a replacement surely and are yet to make a deal public maybe wer waitn for our cash from the ade deal??am i deluded??maybe but its a nice thought

Wonderful.I just love the way he talks, and he has a baby face kinda smile that is also sheepish.As for Ade,thought he already got his wrk permit.He hasn’t talked since the speculations begun.We can only wish him all the best.

Arshavin is just pure class. He has bags of talent and never seems happy with his performance even if he played fantastic, He always wants to play better than his last game and give his all for the team. That is why Arshavin is a great team player. In UCL Away games we should stick with 4-5-1 and play RVP up top with Arsha CAM and Nasri and Walcott on the wings and Song (new signing) and Cesc in the middle:
RVP
Arsha
Nasri – Cesc – Song (NS) – Walcott

Its so good to know we can play all our players in the UCL this season. Arsha and Vermaelen will give us great cover. Although I expect both to be starters.

Flamini did not move for the money unlike ca$hley did. He left because he was on his final year and cesc had 3 more to go yet we gave cesc an extension and didn’t even make an attempt to improve flamini’s contract and don’t forget we got to the cl final with him at lb that year and then he was awesome in his final year and moved on. I would welcome him back as he hasn’t said a bad word about us and he was even at old trafford cheering us on in the cl so yeah I would even pack his bags for him.

upfront we’re ok. with or with no ade, our guns can shoooooo…t. we only need an experienced holding midfielder. eh…., guys, what if we brought back flamini? i know some of our fans can’t forgive him. let me not bring controversies.

I just think this guy is great he can string a sentence together which is a plus for a footballer but he optimises what I believe is a team player.

With Ade leaving I think RVP should be moved up front along side a largeish striker that actually wants to play for the team.

Then 2 banks of 4 that can shrink down to 3 – 5 as attacks happen if you think about it we have without doubt the best midfield in the PL.

The weakness I see is that midfield play who will cover Cesc to let him run riot

So maybe 2 more players in a few out (I would happily give Eboue a lift to the station).

Last point while I detest Ferguson for a lot of things the one thing he does well is build a team spirit and will not tolerate decent.

I know Arsene does as well but with the loss of Deane that has gone a little and with the idiot Russian trying to take over it has unsettled things.

So couple more in 3 or 4 out and we will get some silverware I am sure !!!

I just KNEW Ade would not let me down and his inevitable exit from the club would be surrounded by the MAXIMUM quanity of confusion and chaos that his antics over the past year have emphasised.

Well done big man – very solid work – you have truly left no one in any doubt what a plum you are

An outstanding example of the species “homopedballus greedius”

@ Elbizarron – I’m with you on this. I think Arshavin should only play as a second striker where RvP is injured, suspended or on the bench.

We’re lucky to have him though, top bloke and fortunately very versatile. He could be vital this season and I hope he starts more games than anyone.

With the probable loss of Ade, maybe we could change to 4-3-3 (similar to Chelski and Manure) with RvP in his Dutch National role.
