It's seems common knowledge that Sagna will be leaving this summer and he's heads already slightly gone

By argument is why get Corcha, we have a young good RB in Jenkinson so why not let him be first choice? I'd prefer an experienced RB

You are 100% correct, Sagna isn't and shouldn't be on our team. really Jerkinson wld have done better and also provide better pull-outs for the attackers.

I think Rangel would be a good option. Generally quite solid, with prem experience and a good price. also not too likely to displace and hinder Jenks

Sagna lost so many point´s for us this season, Love him but he´s not Arsenal class any more : (
Jenks will be first choice next season and corchia and bellerin will push him.

Why on earth did Jenk not get a run yesterday?After giving away the penalty I would have sent Jenk on. Sagna was really off yesterday.

What's people's views on going for lampard on a free?

Still a class player and would take pressure off wilshere nxt season

This would allow money to be spent in key areas yet still improve the squad

Suffolk gooner

No not the type of player we need (attacking midfielder )

Would put Thomas Rosicky ahead of fat frank anyday of the week

Have the rules changed or are the tv just persons, Bruce Pope says "There is the possibility that Chelsea can qualify [for the Champions League] if they win the Europa League - and they have a one-goal advantage after a 2-1 semi-final first-leg win at Basel - but the push in the league must continue, especially with Manchester United and Spurs their next opponents. " in his round up of the Chelsea Swansea game.

They are pushing for the europa league winners to go to champions league. but from what I last read. won't be introduced until 2015, when they expect and overhaul of the current format for both competitions.

So doesn't matter if chelsea win the europa league by 500-0. they will get the spot only if top 4.

Hi ed :)
The reports of Fabregas and his rumoured unsettled nature as things stand at Barca, are they true? If so, could he be in line for a sensational return to Arsenal?
Also, if there was one player you had to put your money on joining Arsenal this summer, who would it be?
Thanks yet again mate :)
Cheers!

sean

I really don't think cesc will return this summer. sadly. but I have a hope that he will return some day.

the dreamsigning this summer would be falcao, he is a top quality striker, who can make something out of nothing. is it realistic though? no.

28 Apr 2013 21:07:43
Ok, if we could get Cesc that would show the world that Arsenal mean business. Theese signings would make arsenal title contenders

Adler
Gonalons
Cesc fabregas
Stevan Jovetic
Sebastian Corchia

well well well I thought u were lucky today boys and larkerville,

I see your reply to my last post laker embrassing to say the least, but oh well if u think city are doing things the 'right way' compared to us and tbh u to an extent fair enough. How u can say we DEFO won't win the league next year is mental, how do u know this? But let's be honest we will be a hell of a lot closer than u.

Anyways now I've cleared that up with that, to quote stoner 'bowel nugget' that was a lively game, and quite how there can be any (and there are a few) complaints about that pen I dnt know!
I thought u lot were lucky to get away with a point tbh, yes you had a good first 30 mins but we had more clear chances than we normally need to win a game and couldn't so I guess a well done has to go to the arsenal for that.
Rvp really is pure class and really showed you what u had and at the end gave u all a nice little wave, that was nice.

So all in all IMO u just managed to scrape the result you went out to get and i'm happy u did, because like us u are a proper club and deserve to be there fighting, no matter if laker is not happy u doing the 'Man city' was

Gd bye lads

We could have been 3 up at the break. A point was good result for both teams.

Lucky to get a draw? Typical Man Utsh*ted fan. You were lucky not to be 2 nil down if Ramsey had squared to Walcott. Why is everybody lucky if Utd draw. Face it yes domestically you're the best team but where has that gotten you in Europe over the last two years. knocked out of the group stage. You're a force on the wain and one I can't wait for us to climb over when Fergie leaves.

A proper club? How do you figure that? You have spent multi millions on players. Rooney 30m, Veron 28m, De Gea 19m, Ferdinand 28m, the list goes on!

City are only doing what United have been doing for years! Buying other peoples talent!

We are run right. not your lot!

We are only 2 or 3 players from dominating!

Talk $hite on your own page. not ours!

I'll set Malaga gooner on ya in a moment!

cammy out!

xxx

CAMMY don't worry mate I am monitoring the CR** that's coming out of his mouth.

i wonder will they have to float a few more shares his summer to pay a few more bills.

malaga gooner

Chris redman. one point I agree with you on is lakerville is an absolute joke.

Lol yes we are run right, if u look at the new ffp rulings coming into place soon i'm sure u will see we are in a very good place, like yourselves. The argument that some how u are run right compared to us from cammy did make me laugh, how does that work? Because u dnt spend money and we do? Give it a rest! U used to spend money, remember Reyes £19m, wiltord etc now u sell.
Im sure once u look at this game tomorrow u will see if any team was gunna win it was gunna be us, we had 4-5 good goal scoring opportunities to your 2, we were well in control after 25 mins and i'm sure if we needed to win that game we could of.
Lol wondered how long Malaga could wait to put he's pointless tripe in, all that time to think malaga and floating share jibes! How old is that now? Really is that all u can think of? Zzzz
Anyways I bet cammy has creamed his pants, malaga reads his posts, made his day that. {Ed027's Note - Reyes cost 10.5m, and could of risen to 17m, given, he only played 69 times, so I highly doubt we had to pay that £6.5m, we also got most of our money back when we sold him to Atletico Madrid

Still willing to pay them sort of fees back then though ed!

Chris redman, malaga gooner is right, your owners are having to sell the club bit by bit to asian consortiums, WHY, because Man United do exactly the same as city and chelsea, you buy your way to success, if that's what floats your boat fair enough, but stop living in denial
trev the gooner

Look I really dnt wanna go into money talk with u, that's syds job i'm sure if ask him he will educate more on that topic trev,
Chris the REDman

Good stuff. I will just wait in the shadows. I don't need to hound my point of view on you.

you only see what you want to see.

Remember red nose won't be there forever, giggs is nearing his grave, rio is one game away from being in a wheel chair, vidic is your diaby.

same tactic does not work every year. this year the strikers won the title. but I can say for sure other teams will prepare for you lot.

everything in life has a cycle, , liverpool, man utd, nokia. its just a matter of time. enjoy it while it lasts. because when people come mocking you ain't going to like the sound.

also what the others said about Manchester United not being different to City or chelsea. whatever makes you sleep at night I guess.

And again to mr anon, insulting me.

no problems in insults man. I can take it. i'm not sure you can.

try leave a name next time. be a man/woman

Lakerville

The term money buys trophies came from the united era of buying players for 30 mill. I don't need to look at syd's transfer fees. its all over the internet.

outside of city last few years utd pay second highest agent fees. always good to do some under table activity.

Do I need to talk about the Chevrolet deal? or do you have another take on how an unauthorised deal became legit, only for the guy to be fired later?

why was alex son caught up in the panaroma investigation that he banned tv from OT media room?

truth hurts. scamsters will remain scamsters. thugs remain thugs.

Laker how on earth do u expect me to take anything u say seriously, I mean even your own fans think u talk rubbish mate.
Yeh yeh yeh every1 is ruining football because now poor old arsenal can't compete! Maybe u should look at why u can't compete rather than why we can?
Personally I think np name got u spot on mate.
Chris the REDman
P. s please dnt sick malaga on me anymore i'm still trying to get over his last comment, hurt that did.
Can anybody tell me arsenals real stadium name? So long since u lot sold out I've forgot

Take me seriously? hahah. are you 5? some swindon fc fan turned bradford fan turned united fan is coming on here telling me about arsenal?

im not worried about Arsenal. we are fine. i'm not in denial. but us fans always have class and always will. we support it through down times as well. when things go wrong for you. about 2 billion people will switch allegiances. including yourself.

talking about Arsenal selling the stadium name?

which is the official drink of man utd? official watch of man utd? official cell phone carrier of man utd? official training groud of man utd. I could name 32 more but i'd rather let you google it.

there's probably an official Manchester United bacon and egg breakfast. sellouts.

if they could sell you they would.

and i'm ok with the fact that some people don't like me on here. its not a popularity contest and everyone is free to air their view. Unless you don't like that side of it because your from syria and your president Bashaar Al -asaad's personal trainer.

Lakerville.

Lakerville, lmao, classic

whether it was only the one mistake sagna made he was the one who cost us two points and it's his fault full stop, jenko should be playing rb and the sooner we ship sagna out the better.


gooner mark

Sagna was bloody awful today, I agree, bring back Jenko!

If spagetti head hadn't of given the penalty and got subbed at half time we would of won 1/2-0

28 Apr 2013 19:35:16
Arsenal could sign the following players from

Casillas GK Real Madrid
Nasri AM Man city
Robben AM Bayern Munich
Ibrahimovic ST PSG {Ed027's Note - They couldn't and wouldn't

28 Apr 2013 18:33:14
After today, I think we need to let Sagna go. Get a new RB and have Jenk and a new RB compete for the spot. Sagna can't do anything on offense anymore and was the only reason we gave up a goal.

28 Apr 2013 18:05:51
we need a proper winger gervinhio, walcott, padolski, ox don't do it for me and we need to replace arteta he slows things down too much with his side way passes he also gives away silly fouls.

Agree although we gave it good go today our side can still look off-balanced with no real wide men and too many central players. If look at Utd they always have a good balance to their side and always use proper wingers that look to make the pitch as wide as possible to help create space. Although some may not agree I think a player like Nani may well be worth making a bid for if Utd want to sell.

Gervinho, Podolski, Cazorla are just not as effective out wide as they are centrally.

Still do not like this 4-3-3 that we play and a DM, Winger and Sriker are needed. I do think our back 4 is that bad But Sagna needS dropping for Jenkinson. TV5 has had bad season but I still think he has quality and will hopefully come back strong next season.

Sell gervinhio

28 Apr 2013 18:03:04
Why is theo wearing a utd top? Disgraceful

Closest he will ever get to 1 dnt worry

28 Apr 2013 17:59:38
Never thought I'd see the day where Ramsey and koscielny would be my favourite arsenal players.

Anhowa

All of these people who are Wenger out Wenger Out better not be hypocrite's because when he leaves all of us will be crying for him back, he is unreplaceable.

How do you win a penalty against Utd?


SY4

Rio took the ball. So how could it be a penalty?

I am disappointed we never buried a few of our several chances today.

You must be disappointed that you only made two decent chances, one being offside.

Sydney!

That being said, I fully expect Arsenal to win the remainder of their games, with Spurs dropping points between now and the end of the season. Chelsea 3rd, Arsenal 4th, Spurs 5th.

Sydney!

Sydney,

By your logic Sagna's reckless challenge was not a penalty.

Since Sagna got the ball before clattering RvP.

- James R.

Rio made enough contact with the ball to divert the ball away from the player before he made contact with the player. Sagna didn't divert the ball away from RvP before he clattered him. He didn't get enough on the ball to prevent it being a goalscoring opportunity. So therefore he took RvP down whilst RvP still had a chance to score.

Sydney!

How many penalties have been awarded for Vs against this season?

If that tackle had been against Utd at OT, it would have been a penalty without fail.

Also, your centre half should have been off for his second tackle from behind just like Sagna should have been off.

Tackle your rosé tint glasses off

SY4

To be fair Sagna did get a good few studs on the ball for the penalty

I meant to say - take off your rose tinted glasses

SY4

28 Apr 2013 16:52:05
1-1 half time played well more hunger, Utd left of the hook by Sagna's sloppy tackle for the penalty.

Our goal was slightly offside mind, but we desvered to be in the lead as we have largely dominated Utd in that half. First the 50/50's and Cazrola and Rosicky playing well and finding spaces. Keep it up guys and we might just win this one.

28 Apr 2013 16:51:19
I wonder what Jenkinson must be feeling like.

28 Apr 2013 15:03:23
Dont we have a buy back clause for cesc? {Ed027's Note - Yes we do, same price they gave us

Can someone remind me of that fee? {Ed027's Note - 29m Euro, though we'll get 3m Euro once they've won La Liga, & another 3m Euro if they win the CL, so 35m Euro

28 Apr 2013 12:06:07
Eds, just wondering if you managed to get any information if Arsenal's reported interest in Rene Adler is true?
In addition do you see Sagna or Vermaelen leaving, if so, who would be the likely replacements?

Cheers {Ed027's Note - We haven't spoke to Hamburg, I see Sagna leaving, really not sure about Vermaelen, If Sagna leaves expect a unknown signing, if Vermaelen does leave I hope we re-ignite our intrest in Ogbonna

28 Apr 2013 07:44:09
Hi Ed,

I was wondering what our chances are of getting Cesc Fabregas back or if he is even a good fit with the current team? I am guessing all these rumours of Barcelona being willing to sell him this summer are false but I want them to be true because I miss having him be a Gooner.

Thanks! {Ed027's Note - Check the questions page

28 Apr 2013 10:55:18
cesc fabregas back on arsenal transfer list

28 Apr 2013 09:25:50
Hi people, just wandering that with giroud now being banned would you rather see walcott or podolski play through the centre? Personally for today I'd prefer podolski in the centre with walcott on the right and chamberlain on the left, just to see how capable united's defence is with dealing with that much speed and power together. Most teams have one or the other but I feel today we could threaten on both fronts?
Thanks

Hi mate - I'd have walcott down the middle for his pace in attack - I don't know how pod would do on his own - none of them can be worse than giroud right?

Can't imagine why anyone would go for Theo over the the Pod, in front of goal Pod is deadly whereas Theo is just damn right frustrating.
Pace doesn't make a footballer.

1404

Stop wandering mate, keep still!

Wondering is fine though.

28 Apr 2013 03:23:42
Ed (and everyone else too), my first post, please reply. Has there been ANY interest in Cesc from Arsenal? What does Cesc feel like at barca, looking to move? {Ed027's Note - Welcome mate. We are in no position to look at Cesc, just look at how he left, like he was going home, he's happy, he's with his family and his heart feels at home. But if Barca want to sell, expect him back at Arsenal, if not there are serious issues at our club, Don't get your hopes up though

28 Apr 2013 10:44:12
that was the case when he left. lately iv been hearing fans are booing him and want him sold. hence the question. there's this (reliable)guy on twitter who claims a 30m signing has been agreed with a player, caveat being top 4 finish. not revealing any names. fingers crossed its cesc.
