More on Gervinho

“Bambi on Ice” is a phrase that has been used to describe his running technique. At times his passing can also leave a lot to be desired, not the actually quality of the pass but the timing of the delivery.

I thought we had one of these already? Do we really need another one?

If you're thinking of Bendtner then he's more of a 'Donkey in molasses' than a 'Bambi on ice'.

OK I am feeling the same way.......

1) have not much of a clue about the players we are being most strongly linked with (Gervinho and Alvarez)
2) worry about how for us, two largish sums are already being floated around (12 and 11 million respectively)
3) looking for PL tested and proven

we don't have control over how the club does business we can only sit down, buckle in, cover our eyes at the stomach churning drops and scream our heads off at the wild speed (although speed is not really a word best associated with our particular transfer dealing style)

however surely we shouldn't be slating things as all doom and gloom before seeing this guys first hand - if they are flops then we might be seeing more than AW's head on a platter but if they turn out good then a lot will be singing their names.

Is it too much to ask for these guys to be given the benefit of the doubt till at least the pre-season starts, if not a little more so than AW!?

I think we will see what we looking for, as I believe that Wenger is not blind to our frail defence but we gotta just sit tight for the time being

NOTW are reporting that Utd will bid around 20M for Nasri this week.

Hope this isn't true.

There is absolutely no chance we would sell to Man Utd so that doesn't really matter.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'd be sure about that too if the alternative wasn't him going there for free next season.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

more like just a ruse to turn up the heat on the situation

Nasri story went quiet for a while

recent talk (sky sports paper talk section) had Arsenal looking to sit down with Nas and talk

so we are bound to get that Utd upping the ante

be great to be a journalist and talk bollocks all day.....wait up thats what i do anyway

[LDG]

This is all rather depressing.

Aston Villa are plotting a £14m raid on Manchester City for their former midfielder James Milner.(Sunday Mirror

Oh no you don't. You're not getting back around us that easily He wouldn't give up the chance to spend Tuesday and Wednesday nights looking up at the Manchester skyline from the safety of the Eastlands bench now anyway.

I've got no faith in "Wenger signings" anymore, just want to see players I know about who are proven...at least the majority of the signings fitting into that criteria anyway.

He's failed massively with signings in recent years, problem with him is he always wants a bargain and looks at that rather than what the team actually needs (not sure these players we're reportedly signing are bargains incidentally but no doubt Wenger see's them that way).

The way I see it he's done it his way for 6 years and failed miserably, so he owes the fans some quality signings now, especially after what we saw last season.
