Arteta :lol:
Still makes me laugh how people use him as an example of Wenger buying decent players recently.
Have they not seen him play?
Cazorla is the genuine article from that bunch. Eduardo was an unlucky miss. Arteta is decent but not top tier. Arshavin, who knows what went wrong there? But there does seem to be a pattern of Wenger not being able to realise the full potential in these players. Walcott, Merts, Giroud these are scraping the barrel to make a point. That's not a good list.Quote:

How the mighty have fallen. You need at least 8 world class players to make up for Wengers crapness. With these bog standard players......Well the results speak for themselves.

Arsenal enter the struggle for 'new Ronaldo' Spanish
Has 18 years and is considered in Spain the new Cristiano Ronaldo, despite not even being ... Portuguese. Alvaro Vadillo, who has highlighted the extreme Betis in Seville, is now targeted by Arsenal.
The comparison with Ronaldo is due mainly to the technical ability shown by the young player, who also recently caught the eye at the UEFA European U-19.
Manchester United have been the first club to open contacts with Betis for their engagement in October 2011, but the Seville club refused to approach due to the low value offered by the Red Devils.
Recently there was talk of interest from Tottenham, directed by André Villas Boas, now emerging news pointing to the Arsenal, which is known the taste of Arsène Wenger to invest in young people.
Same paper, obviously trying to talk up the local players, also carries the news that Arsenal want to sign Sporting Lisbon keeper Rui Patricio...

After Sebastian Perez’s arrival yesterday for a trial with Arsenal it has been revealed that Alharbi El Jadeyaoui has also arrived at the club for a two day trial.
The left-sided midfielder who can also play as a forward will be 27 on Thursday and he currently plays for Angers in Ligue 2.
Beyond that, I know very little about him at all. In fact, I know nothing about him at all.
He’s French, he’s from a lower league, but he’s not young, so I don’t really know what to make of the whole thing.
With Arsenal being linked with a move for free agent Ciprian Marica it’s unclear what the policy is now regarding recruiting players. With a number for first-team fringe players being moved on we no doubt need to boost the squad numbers but the names being linked with the club are odd to say the least.
