Neither were Henry, Adebayor or van Persie before Wenger made them better players.Originally Posted by Kyle?
Even if he doesn't get 30 goals in his first season in a new league and team, he and Podolski will get plenty between them as Arsenal as a team create and score plenty of goals.
They could be repulsed by scoring opportunities like Chamakh, but evidence so far shows players who enjoy scoring goals of varying types at a good level of competition.
Now I never really wanted RvP to go especially to UTD as it is with them especially Rooney that I can see him (if fit) being most lethal as he will get plenty of playing time as he wont become part of the Citeh striker wheel of fortune.
But if he was not happy with our offer and went as far to say so in a letter that although true in part, need not have been mafe public, then the door is that a way>>>
I think Wenger and the club played this one correctly, we got the price we wanted for a striker, I kniw will score goals if fit but that if is quite big as is the fact that he is getting along a bit, I do think thst RvP has the ability to play on though and later on we could see him drop back a bit. . .it wont be with us though and we just have to move on.
And moving on or at least the manner in which we do so is vital, we should invest all that money back into a player and my choice would be Llorente.
I feel last year Arsenal became more of a team's team, we had a more balanced feel to us even though the goals were prodominantly still coming from one player, this year I think we will see more of the yeam playing for each other and finding ways to score through more than one player.
I think Llorente could be a key to this improvement and along with Giourd can share the workload of the lead striker. I think we need another as the squad could find itself with more than a few who need to adjust to the life of the PL and the workload definitely will need to be shared.
We could see a change in formation too, as it was RvP who made that role his.

4 year deal, 200k a week.
Can't believe Fergie went for it, that's a lot of money for United these days. I believe what my Manc mate told me the other day and said he was under pressure to make a marquee signing.
We thought we were building a big new shiny stadium to compete with the best. Turns out it was so we could sell to the best.
What do people expect the club to do. He only wanted to go to one club, on his last year of contract?? Let him stay for 6 months and then he'll sign a pre contract with Man Utd and leave anyway, all while playing like shit because his heads turned. Live in the real world guys, because we all know the second he departed for free next season people would have been all over Wenger and the board about letting our 'best' player leave for free to a rival.
Secondly where's this great idea come that we won't reinvest. We already spent RvPs money before it arrived, yeah course we did, we always do that. What would we have done if he didn't want to leave this year and wanted a bumper contract when he left for free...we don't take those risks. The money is surely going to be reinvested. The money we've spent was profit made on Queens Road sales, and of course we were going to buy replacements just in case RvP decided to leave. Imagine how the fans would react otherwise, we all know the board would have happily coughted up for him to stay.
Its down to RvP and only him. Now lets get rid of Chamakh, sign another striker and a DM and we're good to go.

When did Arseblog start accepting brown paper bags from Gazidis? The shit he's writing these days. That belongs on the official club website.
If after the meeting it became clear that we couldn't keep him, then the club has been spinning a pack of lies about wanting to keep him. We courted Man City's attention and used them to get the bid as high as possible. Great business people say but Wenger has already said that we won't be spending the money on another striker. The Guardian piece about RVP's representatives making 'outlandish demands'...like what...signing key players to help us challenge for the title? Now if reports are in suggesting that RVP was coming around to the idea of staying but we told him to do one, the club have pulled a fast one. I'm not hearing this bullshit about us being forced to sell him to United! That's the main problem here. Being crafty and telling him to do one, I can deal with, but to do it so we can sell to United! We had a choice about the matter and out of principle we could have let him walk on a free or sell him abroad. Spurs refused to sell Modric to Chelsea or United, Man Utd wouldn't even consider selling Heinze to Liverpool....there are just certain principles we should have. I'm just waiting to hear the news about us selling off Song and Theo. If we'd sell RVP to Man Utd then nothing else will surprise me.
I'm sure you're right. The yacht catalogues are probably well thumbed in the Arsenal boardroom.

24 Million!!!
That's brilliant business.
Chances are, you will forget all about Robin Van ****face in ten years time, because his is not, and never will be and Arsenal legend.
As for Arseblog, he's sticking up for the club, not the **** with SAF poo dribbling off his chin.
Come on Arsenal
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
