Not really, and creating has been our problem too, these past couple of seasons. Arteta didn't create anything last season, there was a reason why Song was attempting so many Hollywood passes last season.Quote:

Ive read on the last couple of pages that we should let Song go cos we have a replacement lined up.....really?
Have people learnt nothing last few years? Only replacement we have is some Pub Team kid who wont be ready. We sure as hell wont buy one
Song's replacement is going to be Sahin. Completely different types of players but it's gonna happen.
Wenger will not let Song go. He's got 2 or 3 years left...he'll tell the Barca dude to come back in for him next summer. Our team without Song looks physically very weak...he really adds a presence and opposition players Know when he's around...seriously...if we are going to win things this season then hold on to our players...including Van Persie...let him go to Man Utd on his own accord next summer. I wish for once we would stop getting screwed over by the cities of Barcelona and Manchester.
if the barca guy is in london then wenger is willing to let him go. this meeting would have been arranged otherwise he would not have travelled. He is gone as far as I am concerned
Yep, we're going to sell Song, a homegrown international, who played +40 games for us last season with 3 years left on his contract, for 16m euro's and replace him with 18 year old M'vila for 22m euros.
dunno if your being sarcy here cos of my post but surely theres not this much smoke without fire. i dont imagine officials travelling from another country to discuss a deal when they havent already been given the ok from the selling club to do so, is all i am saying.Quote:

would you mind telling us what those boxes are?Quote:
