Name another summer that cost us the title and made all of our star players want to leave the following season.

I think (hope) you have forgotten about RvP. But after that trio...

If you include Nasri, then Arshavin and Walcott are star players too. Their goal/assist returns are far better.

In terms of consistency, only Sagna, Wilshere and RVP deserve to be called stars though.

Star players?? Which ones at the club do you want to leave?? Bender/Denilson/Almunia + a few other gimps.

Sorry, but Nasri is getting hyped up to his own inflated opinion of himself. 6 months is all he has produced. In his entire career.

If we're going by that logic, then please include Theo, Arshavin, Song, Wilshere, Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou etc etc Who have all had just as productive spells over the same time period.

If we're talking about world class. We have two. Cesc and RVP. And only one of them wants to leave at present.

Nasri can fuck the fuck off.


EDIT: GRRRRRRRRRRRR

They're all shit

I agree to an extent. He is a gifted player, no doubt. But one brilliant half a season - when we have recently done well anyway - coupled with a poor half when we have always recently struggled isn't quite what we should be looking for. In other news, Cesc was utter garbage for nearly all of last season.

I am really not bothered about any players leaving. We need big changes and if the 'stars' of our recent failures want to leave, big changes will be forced. Obviously the ideal change would be a change of manager but given that's not going to happen, this is the next best.

The problem with the speed at which news, rumours etc travel, and the ability to debate this within a few minutes mean that some things are not thought through. However, the general concensus is one of concern for the club, and quite rightly, those that run the club should be targeted, because that's what they're paid to do.

However, one of the problems is that what we hear is often very unreliable. It's good to debate it, because it's interesting. But to be outraged of extactic in the same measure at something that hasn't happened, or has little evidence that it will happen, is a little stupid. Furthermore, blaming Wenger / The Board / Eboue for that, before it's happened is also stupid.

We also know that Arsenal never do business through the media, and we never know what is happening for certain until it is confirmed by the club. Frustrating as it is, it's probably a wise thing, and it's also a quality which the club has retained for many years. And I quite like that personally. A bit of class in comparison to classless cunts like Barca.

That said, given the level of the frustration currently surrounding the club, based on that awful 3 months at the end of the season; The failure each season of the last three, to do what was necessary, obvious and within our means; and the really awful, outdated, corporate, unthoughtful media feed from the club. It is quite understandable that people are outraged, and are demanding explanation and change.

We are at a crossroads. And whilst I prefer to be a little less reactive, I can quite understand the OTT comments, and believe me, they are relevant. Possibly OTT, but nonetheless relevant.

GOOD POST
puts thing nicely in perspective I think
it is frustrating as we all believe that we know what the problem is and all have an opiniob about what to do
however an Arsenal not born the day before yesterday knoes all to well the way rhe club does business, the fact that the papers have not been able to confirm Gervinho for so long is proof of that, young uns or the cheapos get reported quickly
this wont change and why should it, I think most fans do mot want to see another Squid like buy,
but big money signings take time, Utd and Citeh can do it because they hold bigger attraction or massive incentives - we I imagine have to do far more convincing especially considering the state of things, possible departures etc

GW allows people to vent and sometimes take the piss, which as an average Joe, I think I have the right considering the pedestal some are on because of their position (at the club)

we dont have control over the reins and we have to go with the choices of otherd even if it is anoyher Squid but that as some have said is what we have yo get on with, its the life we have. . . Arsenal 100%


Letters and all the other Mods, past and present, thank you for the job you do and putting us straight from time to time

Tbh I love seeing mods go at each other (popcorn) - (still no smilies)

Looks like Cahill is out of the question.

The 10 days finishes before the waiting period ends

Considering no-one had bid as of yesterday, I guess we're negotiating quicker than most seem to think.
