Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Goals from midfield are largely a bonus, we don't have a goalscoring midfielder (and they are pretty rare to be honest) so realistically we'll only get a handful from each midfielder over a season, they don't really have an eye for goal like Pires or Ljundberg have so expecting loads of goals from them isn't realistic. First and foremost your forward line should provide most of your goals and by having top strikers it free's up space for midfielders as teams want to keep the ball away from goalscorers. Sadly we have a sack of shite up front (other than Sanchez who isn't an out and out forward anyway) who couldn't hit a barn door so the opposition don't have to worry too much about them.

It's ironic, Wenger has changed everything about the way the team plays since 2005 and yet he's desperate to get back to the days when our midfielders bagged 20 goals a season, trouble is those were natural finishers, you can't teach that.

Quality Jeebs - even better if you can get it on a banner & put it next to the pricks with the " In Arsene we trust" banner at the Emirates

I've got to say, Wenger has to be a masochist. One bad result at the Emirates and it's back to the horrific poisonous atmosphere - why put so much pressure on yourself?

Weirdo.

We need more goals from midfield but can Wenger get that from his players? In fact, can he get them scoring goals whilst being sound defensively and not neglecting their duties? I don't know if he has it in him to produce what we need internally. We'll soon find out.

It's surely bollocks, but the Telegraph are reporting that Adebayor turned down Villa not just because he wanted a shed load of cash but because he needed a sign from God :unsure:

How the heck are we going to get goals from midfielders who never actually take a shot on goal. The goal against Newcastle came literally from our only shot on target by Ox. All we do is pass the ball backwards and forwards across the opposing box. No one has the eye or goal or the talent from outside the box. Rosicky is the only player apart from Ox who likes a strike on goal and he has been tossed into the twilight zone. We are literally captive at the hands of a looney. Obsessed with being different, looking for some unique legacy. He knows he cant be the best so he would rather just be different.

I got an email today from Arsenal for the screening of the Leicester away match. On the day we should be welcoming a new top top quality signing, they send this shit. Fuck off, fuck off some more and keep fucking right off <_<

Perhaps the rationale is that we are going to finish 3rd regardless of the business we do. United don't have the squad. Liverpool don't have a player who can win a game from nothing or depth of squad either. We have a good squad but not compared to city or Chelsea and Chelsea have a better manager. We could have spent 100m And still finish 3rd.

3rd and a cup is still a pretty good season and you aren't going to get rid of a manager who does that.

It's bollocks. He wanted £5mill to leave. In some ways he's a greedy, useless, lazy cunt.

Rosicky will be like a new signing when he comes back and is not used.
