lets make sure number one we are hard to beat.

That's what Mancini has done, and they were accused of being boring, but finished ahead of us and won a trophy. You need solidarity before you can play the pretty stuff, its common sense, but Wenger is too far up his own backside and thinks endless attacking play will always win out.

What use is attractive football if you can't even defend set pieces, bread and butter stuff or be organized well enough to defend as a team all over the pitch?

tbf im cheating a bit cos since january nasri has what 1 goal 0 assists?

gervinho has to do little more than run at defenders and he'll be a more useful player.

If he finishes first in the PFA awards then hes better than Nasri.

agreed. the medias tears for mark hughes hadnt even dried yet and he already had the defence conceeding half the number of goals. literally took weeks.

but our wenger doesnt do defence.

I'm not sure a direct comparison between Gervinho and Nasri is really the thing. The one would not be, I hope, a direct replacement for the other. If there's a comparison it should be with Walcott and that's more or less the role Gervinho would play. Nasri isn't really a winger-striker type player but more of a central attacking midfielder played out wide from time to time. If Nasri (and Cesc) go we'd need to replace them with a simialr type player - although the emergence of Wilshere already helps. And if the said replacement is moderately durable you could replace both Cesc and Nasri with a single player.

That's what I mean. Wenger can't sort out the defence and he coaches pass pass pass which kills a dribblers game. Nasri can actually dribble. Hleb could also dribble when he arrived. Some how it gets coached out of them.

Reports may suggest that Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy are set to leave Arsenal this summer, but Tomas Rosicky wants to stay at Emirates Stadium.

They are infected with Wengeritis

I dont blame Nasri or Cesc for wanting to leave one bit. Who would want to resign another contract when they know that Arsene will throw their asses out of the club as soon as they are 29?? Everyone wants our players to be loyal but I dunno how they can possibly do that when we have such absurd policies in place.

If Nasri and Cesc stay and the club invests in 1 or 2 big signings this team would walk the league. I dont understand why a club whose as big as ours fails to see this.
