Arsene: ‘No signing in transfer window’

bloody squidge, the only person in recent memory that has come back quickly from a hamstring injury. If it was anyone else we would not of seen them for 5/6 weeks. Oh well bye bye clean sheets and the progress of kozza because those two do not play well together whatsoever. Heres hoping we sign cahill in the summer. I thought at the very least almunia would be gone, and that chamberlin kid from southampton would be coming in.

Sell Bendtner (for what, maybe get 10-15million for him) and go in for Torres. We’d effectively be getting him for around 25million. We’d be pretty formidable with a striker like that. Plus, it may help persuade Cesc to stay.

Err…yeah…I know plenty. You?

completely disagree on torres… and getting him is not the Arsenal Way, anyway. AW has indicated through the years, young players can improve by 15% or 20% in a year whereas older players can hold steady or increase by not more than 5%. When AW sees a player starting to level out in his improvement then he moves them on, Look at Viera or Henry who we would of all liked to have kept but AW saw then leveling off and maximized the value for them. And then the more recent sales Toure or Ade. Therefore its not what a Torres can do for us now but where he can help take us that is what AW seeks. And this defines his acquisitions and sales.

Thus, I personally think Torres would NEVER come to us almost at any price cause its simply not how we build and grow.

Disagree Goonamerica. I think Torres would come. If he’s considering Chelsea then i think he would certainly consider Arsenal. Expansive and expressive football is what he’s all about and it’s what we excel in. And asking where he could take us, well, his goals – and he has a high commercial profile – could propel us internationally, footballing and commercially. This is what BIG businesses do and it’s an area that we’re failing in.

And Wayne, i see your point, maybe i read it wrongly. It is wishful thinking on my part, i know, i’m well aware of it. It’s a pity. We’re so close to something huge but if only a couple of steps could be taken. And they’re not even that difficult to make. But i guess it’s been like this for a few years now. If RVP stays fit though, we have a good chance of something.

Torres would be a dream but there’s no chance. Wenger would rather play Bentnder even though he’s not good enough for Sunderland nevermind us. Just like he did with Aliaderre. And Vela???? What????? He couldn’t even get on the subs bench for the carling cup the other night. Do me a favour.

Here we go again, entering the final 4 months of the season and hoping players don’t get injured.
Why, oh why, oh why? Would any other ‘top’ manager be acting like this? No, they would be banging on the Chairman’s door asking for transfers, just in case.
Same every year, isn’t it?

no surprise really is it!….he wouldnt buy a central defender if he was down to one,,,,he’d put song back and play denilson or eastmond. He thinks thats good enough and when he loses games due to defensive errors he just makes some lame excuse.Hes so foolhardy its unbelievable. Carling cup i think we can win…all other trophies not much chance.SAME OLD STUFF YEAR AFTER YEAR

I don’t miss a game and that is saying alot considering in Australia we get games on at 330 in the morning sometimes. I would be the first to say kozza and djourou have been playing great together (nothing pleases me more infact because ive always thought djourou has had great potential).

So you are saying strengthening the squad is stupid? getting rid of squidge and buying a younger, stronger, faster, cahill is a good idea. Having CBS of kozza, djourou, vermaelen, and cahill would be perfect because we have cover for injuries/suspensions, and with the abundance of games we can rotate safely without a major loss in quality.

So fcuk off mate, this here is a site for debate and opinion, slating someone for bringing up a point about strengthening the defensive cover we have (widely known that we need to) is just ridiculous
