Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[RickSanchez]

I know it's nothing concrete but I had a feeling this would happen.
Don't get me wrong, kudos on the Sanchez capture and flashing the cash, but I had a feeling he'd neg on the fact that we need an actual DM and just "have faith" in the players we have.
Not gonna work, Arteta has never been a DM and is getting on, Wilshere is just a hot head and not good enough to play that position and Diaby ain't a DM either. Come on Wenger push for the signing we've needed for ages.

 

[Juggs Magnetic]

I should mention that I was reading it in the Daily Mail.
Hopefully a proper DM will be purchased, however if not I'd prefer Flamini starting over Arteta.

Ramsey/Jack was our worst CM combination last season.

Still wondering where Wilshere's best position is. Some say it's in the number 10 position. Either way, he's got a few ahead of him in the pecking order.

imo his best position is Ramsey's position, but he has fallen so far behind in the last 2 years he is only really in first team contention if Rambo is injured. His best asset is being able to beat players one on one so maybe he can be turned into a wide player? Did score a cracking goal in the UCL last season coming in from the right wing.

Let's face it, we don't need him.

We could sell him for 30+ mil solely because he's English and invest elsewhere. But the English Arsenal fans would go nuts if that ever happens - he is their golden boy.

 

[Flapjacks]

Spot on his best position is Ramseys position, good to have both I guess.

 

[Santoz]

Jack will be converted into a pure DM.

Let's guess how many red cards he'll collect this season.

I say 10+ ...

 

[Cruyff14]

You're all being ridiiculous!

Nice to actually have decent depth, though.

 

[windyhill]

He's continually kicked or ankle tapped Jack, I can't blame him for reacting. It's clear opposition set out to rile him up.

His off season smoking shows he hasn't matured since we've had him.

Plays for the shirt but his brain snaps will cost us.

Very true. But they nail him, hook line and sinker. Too easily sucked in. That's why it keeps happening.

Overblown
No pun intended.

We're signing Toni Kroos!

 

[7zark7]

Bender is not available though.

arsenal have been linked to Carvalho since January

Where did you hear that? I have been following a lot of sources and never read that until this month

Sport Witness translated articles from O Jogo mentioning Arsenal as one of 4 or 5 English clubs interested.

 

[bok_party]

Apparently Flamini, Scez and Gibbs were almost sent home from the US tour for swapping Wengers coffee with gravy....

 

[glenferry23]

Where did you hear that?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Fellas what are your realistic expectations for the Current Season? With our squad atm id say a finish of 3-5 is likely, sign another CB & GK plus a starting CDM to partner Rambo and we could really push the top 2.

Szez has denied this on facebook

Saw people saying it on twitter. Not sure how much truth to it though.

Did he deny it in a comment attached to a picture of the three of them drinking coffee?

Unfortunately not, if true there surely would have been a few selfies taken

We well and truly spent more time on top of the table last season than any other side. With the transfers in we've had so far (and hopefully more to come, like a decent backup GK) there's no reason why we can't set our sights on the trophy. Just need a decent run with injuries. If we don't better last season's position, I'd say we've probably wasted the season. Even another FA Cup win mightn't be enough to satisfy, if we fail to qualify for the CL in the process.

 

[NTRabbit]

The list as is should be winning the title, or at the very least still be in the race during the last 3 games of the season with a good injury run. We were top of the injury charts at the end of the season by a huge margin and were only 7 points back at the final whistle.

Now we've strengthened, and while we can't cover large injury losses like Chelsea and City can with their super $$$ squads, our first 16 should be good enough.
