If anyone thought 8-2 was bad, did anyone see Robin Van Persie’s 4 goals for Holland on Friday in their 11-0 will over San Marino ?

Chu Yung Park netted a hatrick in South Korea’s world cup qualifier game too. You HAVE to see he goals. proper screamers ! Park is number 10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tA-RdXEO1A&feature=player_embedded

Great to see our boys on top form

The squad we have now is definitely stronger, if not technically then mentally. The defence is looking like the safest back four we have had in 6 years – lets hope they make a statement in the first few games back.

Sell Bendtner and Denilson and Bring in Yoann Gourcuff in January and we’l be looking very strong indeed.

Well said Dev. The new Arsenal looks menacing and Arteta brings in what Cesc and Nasri lacked – maturity and leadership. I see Soain knocking on his door soon.

The MOST important factor now for the Gunners is HEALTH. If the squad remains healthy, and we avoid the seemingly annual demise of our team due to injuries, we will compete at the highest level.

@ stephan:
I was speaking to a liverpool fan yesterday and he was literally waxing lyrical about Mertersacker basically saying him and Vermaelen could make one of the best partnerships in the premiership…!

look who liverpool have bought, downing, adam, henderson, enrique are not as good as who we have bought. I agree with most critics that the premier league is a long shot for us this year, but we still have a chance in the other 3 trophies left. As soon as we win one, the belief will start to come back

also from the feedback on santos he is very attacking and more solid than clichy, so we have strengthened at LB too !

love the post.. i honestly think that we have a slightly stronger squad than last season..Arteta is no fabregas but iam sure wilshere/ramsey will more than make up that difference.
I find Gervinho almost a better player than nasri, he is always looking to pass defenders where as nasri was quite inconsistent but slightly more technical- i dont feel as though we are weaker here.
and our defense is DEFINITELY stronger, Mertesacker is world class all Arsenal fans will see that shortly.

like u said the sseason starts now !

To be fair we do need world class players, but we have always made world class players and always and will do that under wenger. This will never change.

Didnt I read arteta played 29 games last year season for everton. I think Yossi was really unlucky with 1 bad injury last year. they are still both undoubted quality.

well at least he spent half of it. I refer you back to the doom mongers comments who said he wouldnt spend a penny, and we were all going to the footballing version of eternal damnation.

Look im not trying to be some sort of blinkered rose tinter or anything, and trying to be an apologist for all the wrong wenger has done (which their been plenty), but all im saying is the club hit rock bottom last sunday with the 8-2 defeat and the season could have had a really grim outlook for all concerned after that if we hadn’t made any signings.

But he did, and we must surely be on the upwards curve now.

So even though they were done in the last 48 hours, the fact remains we brought in 5 new players which in my opinion dramatically changes the complextion of the team. For fucks sake they havent even played a game together yet and some of you lot are whining like bitches that its still all doom and gloom.

If they all turn out to be wrong uns then lets lynch em in january, but for now Just let this new team get on with it, and lets support them as we go.

I for one am looking forward to watching The Arsenal again for the first time in bloody ages. (well since feburary anyway)
