Diaby becomes our longest serving player
So would Giroud in all fairness. If we played inverted quick wingers that could score goals, it wouldn’t be a problem. When he drops deep to do little flicks would work out fine. Heck, we could have gotten more out of Chamakh if we had inverted wingers. He’s also the drop deep, link up play workhorse type. I just don’t understand why Wenger would want these type of forwards when we don’t have the wide players to accommodate.Originally Posted by I am invisible
Sagna is going to be on £150,000 a week.
Doubles his salary
Rosicky is our longest serving player. But Diaby and Theo came in the winter window after him. If it weren’t for the injuries, we’d have probably sold all three by now.Diaby becomes our longest serving player
Nope, Rosicky came after the world cup in 06.Rosicky is our longest serving player. But Diaby and Theo came in the winter window after him. If it weren’t for the injuries, we’d have probably sold all three by now.
Remember his USA goal ?, was so excited about signing him early.
Just watched it now
That's terrible. We need to do more to retain long serving players. If Rosicky had fulfilled his potential, he'd have been off playing in Spain by now. Same probably goes for Diaby.Nope, Rosicky came after the world cup in 06.

Point of fact, it was working with Giroud before Christmas, and probably would have continued working, if we'd had more cover and competition for our attacking players (even if that extra cover and competition was all like-for-like players, like Mandzukic and Vela) - not really that surprising then that it only worked for half a season, when we only had about half the options needed to make it through a whole season...
So you think someone like Le Grove who's been the most critical Arsenal blogger out there about Wenger, Gazidis and the way the club has been run for the past several years will so easily fall for Gazidis' PR and trust what he says. He's never done so in the past, why would he suddenly do so now?
He's clearly basing his comment on more than Gazidis' PR Spiel. I mean not even the most optimistic poster on here got really excited by Gazidis' comments given the fact we've heard it all before.
Either he genuinely has insider knowledge that we've actively been working on something big or as I'm beginning to suspect, he's making this all up.
Yes, I do in fact. Le Grove has taken it easier on Gazidis since holding that meeting last summer. I remember reading a long article on the site talking about our new spending power before we did the Ozil deal and before Gazidis went to the mainstream press. Ivan went to the bloggers and Arsenal support first and then the mainstream press. I'll find it if I can.
Yeah he has - he did the exact same thing last summer, and then proceeded to get steadily more and more angry as the summer went on and nothing materialized.
Personally speaking, I don't think there's anything that calculated or sinister behind it - he may well have been duped, but I think he genuinely believes what he's saying. I do however agree that he should probably just say nothing, if he's not actually going to name names though - I suspect all these cryptic hints are more of a misguided attempt to stop the online Arsenal-supporting community going into total meltdown after the Fabregas and Sagna defections...
