Luiz Gustavo Thread

[StamfordBrdige]

we arent a weaker team then last season because of the players we have got rid of, none of them were first team players, except gervinho but he rarely played. we are at the same level, others have strengthened though, while we remain the same citing bullshit why we cant sign players.

Don't see how people can't see this.

You got rid of players like Gervinho, Arshavin etc. Now unless you're telling me that the youngsters in the squad are better than Gervinho and the others you got rid of, the squad is weaker. It's really quite obvious.

You have a 22 man squad for example. You get rid of 5 players and promote 5 youngsters. Same squad size but weaker as the youngsters are just that, kids who haven't done anything in the game. Now they may all go on to be CR7 and such but until then, they aren't.

We'll see soon enough how weak the squad is if we pick up any significant injuries. No lessons learned at all. Will it take another 8-2 before we see some movement?

of all the players we have sold this summer, gervinho is the only one who played a reasonable amoutn of games. arshavin played once. against you in the away game. so by selling a player who made one sub appearance in the league, thats not weakening us because he wasnt part of the plans. most of the players we have sold spent last season on loan, so therefore werent part of the squad anyway. thats why we arent weaker.

The others did play some games (varying amounts). Gervinho is the main loss however even the others who played less games were still better than some random youngster hence they got to play those games and the youngster didn't.

I don't understand why arsenal fans keep thinking that your youngsters are somehow fucking awesome. There is not much proof of this in the last decade or so.

If we go with the theory that all the kids will get better cos it's one more year then everyone's youngsters will be just as awesome this coming season. Jordan Henderson is going to tear it the fuck up this season.
