It's really hard to say this as a hardcore Gooner, but I think Van Persie was too good for us. We held him back, now he's flourishing, it's ashame it's for United, but what a player.

Totally disagree we made RVP the player he is, he has Arsenal and Wenger to thank for the player he is today!Pity he thought he was bigger than the club!

He flourished in his last year with us, we didn't hold him back he has just matured as a player.

HP

How did we hold him back? He had a better year last year at arsenal and who knows what we and him may have achieved if he stayed fit through all those years on the traetment table? To say we held him back is b******t! We made him the player he is today and fergie bought the finished article so to say we held him back? Great result yesterday roll on WBA.

You are not hardcore gunner, I am 100% sure, so stay in you page and don't come here to sa BS!

If the goal against Sunderland doesn't count as his, he won't have scored in I think its 10 games now. wouldn't call that 'flourishing'

for 2.5 million we bought in an unknown player with a horrible disciplinary record back in his native Holland. and watched him for 7 years on the medical table, thinking when is it going to pay off. one good season and he's 'too good for us'? not at all. he thinks he is. he will not have another good season. 1 season as the prems best scorer.

he won't even come second this year with bale on the form he is (pains he to say it)

After seeing some posts now and again on here about Lukas Podolski, and his lack of game time, i've done a bit of research. and after seeing some videos analysing his performances earlier in the season, I honestly believe that we've missed a trick with this lad. His prloific goalscoring record speaks for itself really, and. I truly believe he could have seriously caused damage to premier league defences this season if given the chance. He is by far the best striker at theclub and one of three world class players still at the club, the others being Jac and Santi. Considering this I really do hope its an injury that's ruling him out and nothing behind the scenes, and if he gets this apparent op on his ankle and everything works out i'm almost certain he'll be a huge success next season. But, if we sell him ithink people will realise how big his contribution is to the club. seriously people I just can't believe we've actually got Poldi, he's the only one that actually gave me that sort of feeling when a top notch player signs and yet he sits on the bench.

Here's to the future, and hopefully one filled with joy and glory with a certain german involved. no not Mertesacker!

Good post, lego.

Hes Lukas Podolski!

Good result against a poor side but still get 3 points don't matter who we beat. Gervinho was also good perhaps could have scored more.

Oh Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocastle!

Why oh why does Gervinh start infrnt of Poldi, he'd have buried that one!

CheetahChaz97

Cause he scored lol

30 Mar 2013 17:16:12
not his biggest fan, all I can say was Reading made him look good.
also Ramsay played a lot better today but need to stop trying tricks cause he is Welsh not Spanish

Scored 1 and set up 2

Also a constant threat

Not a bad game

May be we should get behind him

How would you perform at work if constantly criticised and booed?

SY4

I wouldn't care if you paid me 40k a week

Isn't not caring something we accuse our players of doing almost every time we lose, and sometimes when we win?

Hello everyone, I'm an Arsenal fan from India. I have been reading posts on this site for quite a few years now. Things have changed a lot. Every passing season the hopefuls and believers have turned to whining, grieving frustrated fans calling the heads of AW and the players. I know it is frustrating and I'm not blaming you.
The other day I was watching a documentary on TH14 and OH! how I miss the old days. That aside, someone said something like "If everyone say you can't do it, you start to believe that you can't do it. " I really think we should back the team so that they would play for us. Anyway that's my take, so you might not agree with me .
And can anyone tell me where are raz, miss arsenal, 1307 or something are? I enjoyed their posts. Also, ed, can you please shed some light about the situation with ed2? what happened? Sorry for the long post and bad english.
COYG!

Good sign off name {Ed027's Note - Cannon Balls, Ed002 received abuse on this page, for stupid reasons, he dose'nt want to edit the page anymore becasue of the abuse. I stand by Ed002, and really hope the people who gave the abuse take a long hard look at themselves

Good sign off name

Any of the eds what dm are we seriously looking at hope for a reply we beat reading today 2-0 YA BOI {Ed027's Note - Wanyama and Capoue are the main names

Cheers ed {Ed027's Note - no problem

We should sign Fernando from FCP and Leandro Damiao thoughts anyone or even one of the bender brothers

Fernando is a dirty **** but I love it. I'd take him. Damiao I haven't seen enough so can't. Prolific in Brazil, but that doesn't really mean much. Fernando is a good shout.

Who do we think are best left back is? And who should replace sagna?



SM1996

Monreal is our best lb and Jenkinson is a capable replacement. I'd rather promote Bellerin as back-up and use our funds elsewhere

Is Gonalons tough enough for the premier league? How much would transfer value? Arteta would be amazing if freed up to go forward.

Cheers

Seen a good bit of Gonalons this year, looks like a promising player.

Not sure yet if i'd have himover Wanyama tho.

We need a beast of a holding disorder who can play a simple passing game and a proven goalscorer 15-18 goals minimum

Giroud could still end up with your 15-18 figure. Would you still think we need one then, or would you prefer someone better anyway?

We need to sign a proven goalscorer at the minimum 18 goals a season and a strong holding midfield player

Hey ed's first post on here,
Whats the latest with jovetic, valdes, cavanda, and i'm hearing isco now aswell, as I said first post so would appreciate a reply very much,
love the site {Ed027's Note - We have a interest in Jovetic, we've sent scouts etc for years, we've stepped it up recently. There's nothing on Valdes, Cavanda is seen as a Sagna replacement along with Rangel, reason Rangel is being considered is because we have Bellerin coming through. Isco is out of our reach.
