What a fuckin hottie
unreal :bow:
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up - I'm not going to like this guy. I've decided he's shit and that's all there is to it. Please give me attention.
You have to wait for him to make a mistake in a pre-season game and then use that as your infinite proof of his shitness.Quote:

The bottom line is he's not exactly young and if he was any good he wouldn't be playing for a shit team like Malaga. Or Arsenal, for that matter. If we wanted a LB, we should've bought Ashley Cole back but we decided to go for the bargain bin again. Typical Wenger.Quote:

Plus there were no other clubs trying to buy which guarantee's he will be playing league one football come next august. what chump. baines was clearly available too.Quote:

Have I heard of him? (Nacho) No."
As Arshavin is at the end of his deal, do we think Gibbs will move forward?
No, Mentos will..Quote:

There is not even a single decent video of him on youtube.. says it all really :(
Still better than Mentos :scarf:
He's all over porntube to be fair.
Man, he sure has pace.
And precision.
Now I don't mean to be personal
But a guy like that's more preferable
In my humble point of view
Than any of you.
He's good at crossing apparently. That'll be coached out of him.
He speaks good Spanish. That will be coached out of him. Wenget out.
You guise think he'll be coached?
:lol:
He must be related to Crouch.
Lord no. . .coaching is so Spandau BalletQuote:

So if it weren't for Gibbs we wouldn't have bought anyone.
Gibbs being out for 2-3 weeks, then 4-6 weeks and possibly 8, but more realistically until Christmas means this was beyond essential.
Yeh it was.
Just a shame they forgot about the other 3-4 places that were also essential.

Arsene Wenger says the signing of Nacho Monreal does not signal the end of Andre Santos' Arsenal career: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-arc...mportant-to-us … #AFCvSCFC

Would be world class WUMming to keep playing Santos anyway and leave Nacho on the bench.
:haha:

Tbh , Santos is not a bad player as people make it look like . He is not a good LB but as a LW he can be a good asset for Arsenal . He is not an automatic starter but for a thin squad like ours he can be valuable asset when we have an injury . I assume you will not use your emotions like many to assess the situation . I know many fans hate Santos because of the Van Persie situation and his current loss of form . But when he scored the equalizer against Chelsea I didn't see people coming up with comment such as " Santos out " . He made a mistake and the fans showed they were not happy .Now he deserves a second chance at least till the end of the season .Quote:

well here's hoping that wenger plans to use santos further up the pitch, as i would actually prefer him to gervinho and he may actually turn out to be useful there.
I think he could do a job on the wing, he can't defend for shit though.
I'm happy you are a very raisonable person . But try to be in Santos shoes . You make a mistake and 60 , 000 people are on your back to boo you and around the world millions of fans show how unhappy they are with you . Wouldn't you be uncomfortable when you are playing ? Wouldn't it affect your performance ? We saw it with Eboue , Nasri whom I believe is a top player , never perform well against Arsenal since he joined City . And I'm 100 % sure Van Persie will not be at his best when he will come to the Emirates . I can give you even more examples . When Vierra came with Juventus he was easily outplayed by the small Fabregas . Thierry couldn't find his boot when Arsenal played Barca at the Emirates .Quote:

Don't want him anywhere near the team, at LB or further up the pitch. He has a disgusting attitude and is a scum of a person for being so irresponsible. He is actually fat. Right up there with Arshavin as the two most damaging players at the club. Wouldn't want Gibbs, Wilshere, Walcott etc. talking to this disease.
As for Santos, he's a dick.
So he'll get games straight away
Quote:
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that left-back Kieran Gibbs will miss both legs of the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich.
Gibbs was injured in midweek against Liverpool and had initially been ruled out for two to three weeks.
But Wenger says it could now be up to two months, leaving him a selection dilemma at left-back with new signing Nacho Monreal cup-tied for the games.
"I will not tell you who will play there," said Wenger.
With his options limited, Wenger could be forced to play the much-maligned Andre Santos in that position.
Please try to be less emotional and you may understand his situation . A part from his loss of form and the Van Persie blunder , I can't see anything wrong with his attitude . He never showed a bad attitude to the fans reactions . Unless if i have missed that .Quote:

how much of that can he honestly, hand on heart say he does every single week? apart from collecting his wages that is.
Well, I suppose we are discussing his loss of form . That can happen to any player including Messi or Ronaldo . When our " English Messi " Rooney ( LOL) had his loss of form , we heard people saying things like " form is temporary but class is permanent " , just to defend him .Quote:

If that is the case whose's fault if not the club for keeping him ? I strongly believe Santos is victim of the team current situation . Because the team is not performing at the expected level and the fans are angry , they try to use anyone as a scapegoat . I was expecting Arsenal would improve when the likes of Cygan , Eboue , Senderos..etc left the team but it has never been the case .
