yep, that theo.Originally Posted by ItsMe
why? because hes an experienced international and is his superior. hopefully with the likes of metersaker, arteta and benayoun coming in the lines of seniority are even clearer to upstarts like jenkinson. its the culture which has crept through the club and that has been fackin us.
We should play a 4-2-4 punt and chase style like Wimbledon did in the 80's, that would be worth it just for the look of surprise of peoples faces when we start punting it 60 yards upto Schmack so he can lay it off to RvP or the defensive strikers.

In all seriousness we should be playing 3-5-2 and should have been for a few years now. The extra centre back can move forward to support midfield if needed or drop deeper to cover the other 2 against central play, both vermaelen and Meatpacker could do that, the wing backs we already have. In midfield Ateta, Wilshere/ramsey and Song is robust and creative and with enough gumption to allow the creative 2 to play. Then 2 up top with Rvp being allowed the free role to drift wide or come deep and keep either Theo or Gerbilinho up top to occupy the opposition centre backs with their pace.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/...-support-robinArsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp believes his old club need a definitive goalscorer to ease their woes in the Premier League.
Bergkamp enjoyed much success in north London, winning three league titles and four FA Cups before he retired in 2006 and returned to the Netherlands.
The Gunners sit near the foot of the table in 15th place and the Dutch master believes front-man Robin van Persie needs some support up top and has also backed under-fire manager Arsene Wenger.
"When I look at Robin van Persie he is the front player, but he is better in my old role. They are missing an out-and-out goalscorer. Now they play with an extra midfielder instead," Bergkamp told the Daily Mail.
"The midfielders are all the same sort of players. You need one who wants to get behind Van Persie.
"I know he's [Wenger] the one who will be struggling the most. But with his experience, it'll be okay."
The 42-year-old also insists the team could do with the inspiration of another former Gunner in Patrick Vieira, an individual who almost returned to north London before deciding on taking a football development executive role at Manchester City.
"There was talk of Patrick going to Arsenal during the summer. I would've done everything possible to get him there," added Bergkamp.
"Just to get him in and around the dressing room. It would have brought so much to the team."
Bergkamp is currently on the coaching staff at his old side Ajax and admits he would love to come back to England to do the same, but insists management is not for him.
"The plan is to be settled here now I've built my house. But there is something that stays with me, something in my body that wants to go back to England one day as part of a coaching staff," he admitted.
"That is always in my mind. I don't miss specific things but I miss the feeling which I can't really explain. I haven't sold my house there yet.
"I've never seen myself as a manager. As a manager you have to put all your time into the job and that would be difficult for me. As a player I wanted to switch off at home and it's the same now. I would maybe feel trapped.
"You have to always be involved and, if you're not, you are not doing it right. I want to just drive home, switch off and spend time with my family."

Every man and his dog knew we needed a goalscorer, Wenger goes and signs some unknown Korean he won't play instead....great bit of management there.
AW doesn't seem to rate goalscorers, scoring goals is obviously not that important to him....doesn't rank as high as triangular passing obviously.
Rubbish who could we have got in that week all the good players we never going to be sold where they.
We had all summer, if we wanted someone we could have made an offer for them early on, instead we sat there all gormless making excuses about being on our period
We weren't interested in signing quality strikers who could score goals let's face it.
It really is shameful. A lot of people have been saying this for months. Fans not coaches.
What's wrong with Wenger? Why can't he see this?
Can't see it or does not want to?
Why spend big wages on a stiker who scores goals when we was not going to win the league anyways. might as well save the wages and buy when we are ready to challenge again.
our biggest problem is defense not attack anyway don't matter how many world class strikers we buy or should have bought. if goals are leaking at the other end what diffrence does it make.
and which top stiker would want to come to us anyways be realistic now.
Im talking about when we bought Park. Lets be real how many top strikers would want to come to us. no one knows who we bidded for really. we was never going to get an Ageuro or a Dzeko to high wage demands.We had all summer, if we wanted someone we could have made an offer for them early on, instead we sat there all gormless making excuses about being on our period
We weren't interested in signing quality strikers who could score goals let's face it.
Im sure their is better then park but like you say he sells shirts so maybe why he was bought.
the board see this season a write off so why waste the wage bill when much might not happen.
