Wenger eyes Brum starlet Butland for Arsenal

It’s all nonsense mate, just a bloody stick to beat each other with, noone gets to chairman status without being a villain , I don’t care if your Alan Sugar, Levy, Dein or the Glazers, there are dodgy deals somewhere in their past !

Dein and Levy are relatives so god knows what goes on there !

Bale is actually very easy to mark out of a game, Phil Neville done it with ease twice last season, you deny him space in behind and force him inside, he has no right foot at all and is actually very injury prone, his back is still a major concern, and right now his reputation is sky high, I actually think anything over £30 million is value on that basis alone, he is capable of murdering people but it doesn’t happen anymore than 1 in 5 ..I think the better players are more like 1 in 3 …so sell now whilst the reputation is high !..for me he is a big tart !…you have played a high line against us twice now, and we have got in behind you with ease, especially last year at the emirates, with bale running alone to score..Fulham had it about right, and QPR second half..sit deep like england did against spain and stifle us..play open football and we kill most teams..trouble is wenger only plays one way, and right now that is suicide against spurs ! too much pace in the side and craft from the middle.

I wouldn’t mind betting Guardiola is considering using him as an out and out wing back, Alves is not the greatest defender around in my view but going back to what I said last week, I don’t think we have a good defensive right or left back in the game anymore, not an out and out Pearce, Dixon, chuckle brother Gary Neville..type of player, I reluctantly accept Jenkinson is nearer to this model but he charges forward a lot like walker but I would have to question if they are a right back in knowledge and positional sense..the game has changed and Bale would certainly get more time on the ball and find it less demanding for sure in Spain….thats why you have to take your hat off to the likes of Fabregas and Modric, to make it look like you have all day on the ball in the prem is nigh on impossible..brilliant technically !

How can you compare Modric and fabregas? 6 years of consistent brilliance vs 1 1/2. Deluded.

6 years of brilliance ? now remind me what that co-incides with ? brilliance, bit strong aint it..Maradona at Napoli was Brilliance…Cantona at United was Brilliance, Fabregas and Barren years ? mmmmm not having that to be honest but a great player…brilliant makes the difference in an already great Arsenal side..

Totally respect your views you are entitled to them, Ian Wright happens to be the 2nd best goalscorer in the history of Arsenal FC and would have to feature in a greatest Arsenal 11 of all time, only my view but I wouldn’t put Cesc in ahead of Alex James, Rocastle,Vieira, Brady, all winners or loyal, and there are countless others who were clubmen and also talented like Davis, Cesc spent 6 years at the forefront of gooners minds and for 3 of them he wanted to go home..hardly worthy of a side swipe at Ian Wright who to this day is Arsenal to the core and let’s face it, Henry was more than a forward, so Wright is arguably the greatest out and out striker in the clubs history..at a club like Arsenal that makes him world class does it not ? he was very unlucky to be playing when we had arguably 2 of the best 5 strikers at International level we have ever had Lineker and then Shearer or Wright would have been thrown in..if that was a wind up it was a good one, but I hope it was not what you really feel or it was bad bad bad knowledge..

Genius. So wright is world class because he is the second best goalscorer in arsenals history. Thanks for that. Sorry, I didn’t realise that was the criteria for world class. I thought the criteria was that they were viewed by the majority as one of the best players in their position in the world. Not necessarily by trophies (though Cesc has won the World Cup. And European Championships). So I think Cesc is probably in that bracket. Rocastle was a legend, but world class?? Not quite. And to your point about Modric playing more frequently than Cesc, I would maybe hazard a guess that it is more difficult to get in the team in front of Xavi, Iniesta, etc, than in front of Tom Huddlestone, Sandro etc.

Be interesting to see how much monkey man would be offered for image rights. Ugliest player in football.

Well done
