Sadly we went down the deathly dull and pointless Barca route so Fabregas became less influential as the quality of our football degraded. So if we got him back now (which will never happen because we won't pay the money) we'd have to go back to the proper football we used to play. But even with the shit we play now Fabregas would be some of the much needed quality that could slow or halt the decline.
McMannaman? Dirty bastard. He should be a third through a lengthy ban and he would be if his name was Suarez.
there are players like song, nasri, or clichy who are replaceable, nothing special about them that won't be missed and i'd never want back.
despite the whole barca sage i'd have cesc back in a flash. an absolutely class footballer. quite how we'd fit him in with santi and jack in a first eleven is anyones guess but we can sort that out afterwards. get him in wengz.
I don't see why a winger like McManaman is being compared to a strikermidfielder like Cisc.
McCarthy is the one who is pretty good for Wigan in central midfield.
spot on. two notable things over the past 3 years have debunked us; firstly, cesc leaving was the end of us as title challengers. we've never been the same since. secondly, van persie being sold confirmed us as the bitch for the big boys.Quote:

Rather spend the money on striker, I thought wilshere supposed to be the heir to the throne. You lot given up on him already? :lol:
This guy didnt play his final season and was too bitch to be up front like RVP about wanting out. Digusting man tbh.
Wasn't comparing, just thought he would be a good signing.Quote:

I'd take Cesc back in a heartbeat.. one of only two world class players (RVP being the other one) at Arsenal in the last 7 years. We'd be a fool to turn a player of his quality down!
Cesc was decent but hardly world class
I guess we will have to differ in our opinion about him.. When I saw him live, he seemed head and shoulders above any other Arsenal player on the pitch. On TV too, he looks good but watching live was a different experience and made me appreciate his talent even more.
He disappeared for the last 2 seasons with his pining for the ****s.
He is the reason we changed formation to 4-5-1/4-3-3 as he was incapable of playing in a 2 man midfield as he was shit.
He is the face of failure as you can see with Barca who are terrible now
Why has he missed his chance?Quote:
Barcelona's Spanish striker David Villa, 31, will try to force a move to save his chances of playing in the 2014 World Cup but may have missed a chance to join Arsenal.

Because we were only interested when he wasn't available. It's a lot cheaper that way.Quote:

Oodles of cash without any requirement to perform or deliver. Being also-rans viewed as a trophy, six figures a week, why not? Nice if you can get it.Quote:

On and off the field he doesnt represent the arsenal way.
The Arsenal way is to extract as much money as possible from as many people as possible while providing the absolute minimum return possible. So what does the Arsenal way have to do with women getting pregnant, other than the fact somebody got fucked?Quote:

You can see even now that Rosicky was born to play in the centre and I have no idea why Wenger never tried Cesc and Rosicky in the middle with Gilberto holding.Quote:

A year too late. We don't have anyone who Fergie would want
So basically Fergie can pine over Giroud but he's never getting him! Guess he'll just have to settle for RvP then.Quote:

Wenger has already lured Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from St Mary’s in recent years.
And the Emirates boss has vowed to launch the biggest spending spree of his reign this summer after another season without silverware.

Sorry, when did he vow to launch this spending spree??
I must've missed it :shrug:
I believe em.Quote:
A couple of managers top the Gossip Column this morning, with The Daily Telegraph reporting that PSG are confident of luring Arsene Wenger to Paris as soon as this summer.
The paper claims that Carlo Ancelotti has told them he won't be staying there, possibly on his way to Real Madrid, so the French big boys will be looking for a successor.
And Wenger is that man, apparently. The paper reports: 'PSG's most senior figures have been telling members of their circle that Wenger has been persuaded to leave north London after 17 years in charge of Arsenal.
'Their least optimistic scenario is that he will move to Paris in the summer of 2014 when his current deal at Arsenal expires. But PSG's owners have sounded adamant in recent days that they can tempt him to cross the channel 12 months early.'
According to this story, Arsenal are hopeful this is just a negotiating tactic by Wenger to get more money to spend in the summer. Stan Kroenke has set aside £50million, apparently. Which is nice of him.
It would seem rather odd for Wenger to go from almost pious parsimony at Arsenal to cash-spunking at PSG, but little things like that are what helps this crazy world go round.
Straight swap with ancelotti please. we need a proper tactician if we want players like wilshere to reach their potential. need someone to cut of the headless chicken hollywood nonsense of his game.
So we've got £50m to spend.
Again.
Same old shit.
If he was that concerned about getting more money he'd grow a pair and fucking demand it from Ivan.
I'd love it if wenger fucked off this summer, but I can't see it unfortunately.
We're stuck with Wenger for at least another season.
By Christmas we should know if he intends to sign another contract or not. If he doesn't, it might well be the biggest cause for celebration seen at Arsenal ever. If he does, the sound of ripped up season tickets will be deafening.

The other question is if he indeed leaves in summer 2014 is how long will our board dither to hire a new manager? Will they be spending the summer desperately trying to get Wenger to sign and then leave themselves with no time to get a replacement or indeed get the replacement the targets that he wants. If he decides to go they should line up someone to takeover ASAP.
this wont happen and so we will waste next summer.
Some are saying that the last year of his contract is optional, which would mean he could leave this summer and stay true to his stance of always seeing out his contracts.
:pray:
wouldnt hold your breath mate, never heard of a option like that before and not been mentioned before til v recently. he is here til 2014. too stubborn to quit before and our board are too scared to have to think about hiring someone that may have new objectives
Which is better than being stuck with Tony effing PulisQuote:

Hardly a reason to keep Wenger.Quote:

Two Champs League titles. Chelsea should have kept him. I'd love him here too but it's never going to happen. Would love it if we could get a big manager in that wants a long term challenge. If a Mourinho, Pep or Ancelotti took over at Arsenal and dominated the league, surely it would cement their legacy as the greatest of all time. Wishful thinking.Quote:

You guys are nuts if you think Anncelotti, Klopp or any top manager would take the Arsenal job. No significant transfer budget and the competition of Man U, City and Chelsea. No established manager would want to take on that challenge.
Our next manager will be an up and coming dude like Laudrup etc.
