Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Yeah I really got no clue what's up with that picture. Seems like they are touching things they shouldn't be. Need to restrict access to the in-breds.

Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread He looks ok. Says he wants to go back to Barcelona later though. Was more impressed by highlights of Toral. He looks pretty damn special plus likes England more than Spain. Hope he plays for England.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Arsenal are letting them use their facilities in advance of the CL final at Wembley. They're being cunty in the photo...nothing new.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Ozyakup re-signed. Hopefully we can quit worrying about the youth dynasty and sign some real players now. Pretty please Arsene.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Some 18 year old who isn't even that good. Reputation is bigger than his game and his reputation isn't that great. Decent player. Don't see him playing for the first team unless he gets shit load better quick.

Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Some reason Miyachi was dropped for the Japanese summer stuff. Only way he gets a work permit is if he makes the first team. I'd send him back another year.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread nah they are guest of the mets or something. Cesc was wearing a Mets unit with his name on it.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread yea I was just kidding. they probably don't know shit about baseball.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Word is an opening bid for Samba. Gervinho and Samba would be a great start. Doesn't seem like we have competition for Samba which is great.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread IDK. My understanding is Gervinho has a pick between a couple clubs and will make it once he gets back. Rumored to be Lille, us, you, and Pool.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread ill watch because i have literally nothing else to do today, forgot the game was in london, 100% certain it means the fix is in

Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread All those opportunities came after 10 men too. They were dominating the game but not setting up shit. Wenger probably already knows Chinese. Knows like 9 languages or something. Crazy frenchie. Too smart for his own good.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Moussa Sow with a trick today. 1 was a penalty and 1 was pretty much Gervinho's goal but still. I'd take any of the 3 and be happy. I like Moussa Sow a lot. Perfect replacement for Bendtner but not on the wing.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread I did as well, just rehashing what I read. This guy called the Ben Arfa deal before it happened so.... I'm skeptical on it though until it happens
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread oh jack lol http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/924828/jack-wilshere:-arsenal-should-harass-refs-like-manchester-united?cc=5901 Wilshere: Let's harangue refs like United May 24, 2011 Email Print By ESPN staff Jack Wilshere has urged his Arsenal team-mates to copy Manchester United by harassing referees more in order to gain an upper hand in next year's Premier League title race. Arsenal players referee moan GettyImagesJack Wilshere will be hoping to see more of this next season • Arshavin expects to stay at Arsenal • Ramsey expects more signings • Blog: End of year exams Wilshere, 19, admits it will be a "100 per cent disaster" if Arsenal do not pick up a piece of silverware in the 2011-12 campaign, having thrown away multiple opportunities to break their six-year drought this season. The England midfielder is currently preparing for the Three Lions' Euro 2012 qualifier against Switzerland, after Arsene Wengergot his way and the teenager was not selected for the Under-21 European Championship. Wenger had suggested that Wilshere was suffering from burnout, but the youngster does not blame physical or mental problems for Arsenal's disastrous end to the season, instead preferring to highlight United's treatment of referees as the area where the Gunners can improve. "It's no use just Robin van Persie going because it looks like it's just him having a go at the ref. If we all get round him..." Wilshere said. "You just see the other teams do it and you think 'we need to do it as well'. Man United are the best at it. They get round the referee. We have to be more of a team and be more aggressive and show more authority." Arsenal face a fight to keep their top stars this summer, with Barcelona skipper Carles Puyol recently commenting that he is almost certain Cesc Fabregas will arrive at Camp Nou before the end of the summer. Wilshere admits the Gunners are in dangerous territory, and trophies are the only answer. "It will be a 100% disaster if we don't win a trophy next season," Wilshere said. "We know that. The fans feel it. We feel it. We just need to win a trophy. Arsenal are a big club and we need to be winning trophies. "We need to win them to keep our big players. We must be more aware and have a bit more aggression. We've got some players that can do that but we have to go as a team."
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread nice bump zap, thread was dead for a day... if we really want gervinho (which it seems we do) and he chooses newcastle over us i will be so damn pissed and if that happens i also think it will just be the first of a lot of facepalms for arsenal and the summer transfer window
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread no gervinho means we press hard as fuck for anyone else we need, everyone knows we want to win and if we make it look like were willing to make moves and spend we should get a good signing or 2 or 3
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Latest Wenger Interview: Wenger on Arsenal's 2010-2011 season: "I was upset. We though we could win all the trophies, but we failed due to a lack of character. It is the most frustrating season I've had to go through. "The team played some of the best football I saw at Arsenal, but failed to reach the top when needed. It is frustrating and questionning. We need maturity." On potential signings, Wenger said: "We will try to buy players who could gave us what we need. It's a difficult task. Firstly, we have to enforce defensive line. We lost points against teams who play the natural English way of football, with long balls and physical struggle. "So we need players who know how to manage this kind of game, which means English players, or players who know the Premier League." About the possible departures of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasir, Wenger said: "Fabregas will not go this summer. Last summer,Barcelona made offers, but on this one there is no offers at all. He's the best midfielder in the world, we built the team with him around him. He's our captain, we want to keep him at any cost. "Regarding Nasri, one thing is absolutely sure, that we will not sell him to Manchester United. We have a financial disagreement with the player, and I will work on it during the summer, to ensure he will extend his contract." Regarding Arsenal's rumoured interest in Karim Benzema, Wenger said: "As far as I know, Madrid doesn't want to sell the player, which is understandable. And the fact that Zidane is now close to the club will reinforce possibility of that Benzema won't move." On his philosophy for next season, Wenger said: "Only world class players can reinforce our team, because we already have a world-class quality football. The target is to keep our qualities, strengthen them and get rid of our weaknesses. "We still have to improve offensively, because we are an offensive team. There are people who ask me to change our way to play, but I think we have to keep going with this style of play." On his plan to travel to South America on holiday, Wenger said: "I will spent my holidays there, scouting players and meeting people in South America."
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread WTF is this South American bullshit. Someone get a picture of Wenger with a sombrero. Good article though. Just pay Nasri what he wants or close to it. We cannot lose him. It should happen. As long as it's about money I can't see Wenger being stubborn enough to let him go.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread haven't really heard any talk of us interested in anybody to be song's backup. really need someone so we don't fall apart if he gets hurt.
Re: Arsenal 2011/2012 Season Thread Think we need a center back first. Wenger sounds like in that interview he definitely has that on his mind. Emilio Martinez called up to Argentina senior team. Very good keeper.
