Yeah yemi, can’t wait for rosicky to get back in the squad established and up to full fitness.

With him and Nasri and eduardo all more than capable on the left side, i’m hopeful Arshavin can be used like you say as a central striker who can get about a bit.

Els you are spot on…Ade is a good footballer, but you don’t need leave a club in bad faith, tevez leaves man u but i doubt the fans will ever boo him cos the number of times he played he showed commitment. Hammers are still greatful to him for getting them out of relegation. That is true commitment. The club has shown commitment to ade by renewing his contarct. The fans were solidly behind him until his head started swelling. My pple, pride goes before a fall. ask hleb.
Ade has had only one good season and then he starts to thing he is all. How many years before henry became a gooner legend ? ljuinberg ? pires ? viera ? bergkamp ? kanu ? adams ? seaman? gilberto ? and many more… how many of these player can ever be booed or hated by arsenal fans ? commitment and character is what is lacking for ade, not his skills.
On another note, good to know we will have rosisky back in the squad. I pray his healing is final. Then The assasin arshavin can be given a more central/free role, while rosisky plays left. Same for edu (the guy with an eye for goals)

faith, I don’t think that anybody disputes the fact that Adebayor has bags of talent and in fact didn’t have a bad season in the slightest.

The fact that Adebayor is such a talent only makes it worse in my eyes. I am in my opinion a very loyal Arsenal fan and have only very few times wanted a player to leave. I would like to point out that I often defend Silvestre (say no more haha).

When you get to A champions League semi final and it’s the clubs last hope for a season, your up against bitter rivals and it’s all to play for you want that striker with a better goal ratio than torres to stand up and be counted. In the words of ron burgundy you’ve got to keep your head in a cock fight. Where did he go??? Oh yeah “what do you expect he was up against vidic and ferdinand”.

The blokes got no fight no commitment he tries to ‘engineer’ moves, is supposedly not a team player unpopular with the majority of the team, and egotistical.

I would rather have £25m than that, and let the prof find us something better. Even if it’s a player who needs time to develop. Now would be the best time to do it. As we have RVP (Playing the best football of his career), Eduardo (Fingers crossed he can stay fit, as then we’ll see a world class goal poacher), Arshavin (who wants to play up front) all backed up with Bendtnar (improving), Vela (Potentially world class), Theo Walcott (who prefers a strikers role) and don’t forget Jay Simpson.

So good bye to good-but-tainted rubbish.

Nice work dev.. loving the blog post.

Just a heads looks like we’re rumoured to be signing the “next lionel messi”.

“Arsenal have invited Montenegrin wonderkid Veljko Batrovic for a trial, skysports.com understands.

Batrovic, who is currently with FK Bubamara, is regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in European football.

The 15-year-old is one of the most sought-after talents in the world with the likes of Real Madrid and AC Milan all courting his services.

However, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to steal a march on his rivals by offering the skilful attacker the chance to join the Gunners for training.

Batrovic, who has been likened to Lionel Messi, is expected to travel to London next week to undergo a short trial at Arsenal and Wenger could try and set up a deal to sign the teenager if he impresses.”

Source skysports.

Fresh gossip (admittedly this is from the Daily Star so it is probably a load of rubbish).

Arsenal will attempt to lure defender Brede Hangeland from Fulham with the offer of Philippe Senderos as part of a deal worth around £10m. (Daily Star)

Are you for real? I think I’ve got really short-term memory! lol. I can hardly remember any of them! Thank God for ATVO highlights! lol

adebayor vs blackburn

Vela… Carling Cup vs. Sheffield Utd. (6-0)

Yes Adebayor scored a hatrick against Blackburn, but we all conveniently forget that. Yes, in the season that he scored 16 goals (8 assists) in 32 starts (38 appearances) yes that’s right; a strike rate equivalent to (actually slightly better) than Torres’(the best striker in the world). But we all conveniently forget that as well. Please let’s have some objectivity when it comes to assessing Ade’s performance. If we, Arsenal Supporters, dont know the truth about our own players who else will. Less still, if we dont support our players who actually play well, but are dubbed as “lazy” by those looking for a story rather than the truth, how can we survive. Remember the old addage “divide and conquer”. I see it happening before my very eyes as many of us applaud the departure of someone who has been a talented servant of the club.

On another note, just wondering if any Arsenal players scored hat-tricks last season? I know Arshavin scored 4 against Liverpool, but I don’t remember anyone else scoring 3 last season… Anyone know?
