I read that arsene made an enquiry about claudio yacob last week. 24 year old Argentinian with 3 caps, captain of his club who want him of their wage bill. Anyone know if he's anygood or if the rumours correct? Said to be in the mascherano role.

He is too old

Who cares?

Sounds about right, another nobody that no one else wants.

theres only one "holding" player i would have and that player is jack rodwell.

Bench: Ramsey, Arshavin, Theo, Per, Santos, Jenks, Coqs, Chamakh/Park, Henry (kind of)

is a class team w/depth...stop whining about some 20-21 yr old kids that play in inferior leagues who didn't come....i know we all wanted it...blah blah blah...move on

get on board and enjoy the ride, or have a miserable 5 months whining about summer signings...I know what I'm doing

we CAN do this, and it begins at the Reebok....now let's go beat the piss out of them within the first 45-60min, get fresh subs in, and focus ahead, like big teams do

confident gooner...

P.S. Hats off to Ed's for keeping the sanity, actually answering the needless/continuous Hazard (whine whine whine, will Hazard come, Ed pls tell me, Ed pls block Malaga, etc) comments, and keeping this site going stronger everyday

Let the Bolton bloodbath ensue......( although I love Holden and my boy Ryo) we're going to roll those pussies today, book it

US Gooner

Spot on fella!!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Well said us gooner.im with ya..:)

To the bloke saying no CL football, get out of here. You're either a s**te fan or a spud. Chelsea keep dropping points so after tonights game we'll be tied for points for fourth. We'll make it.

That's not a top 4 team for me.

Mybe reason why we never splashed the cash in Jan is because our actual targets are not available tll the summer! did anyone think of that.

why pay 35 mil for a player now when come summer theyre available 4 20m.
plus big money = big risk and they're quite a few players that come to mind when thinking of this equation.
we r not liverpool, who pay over the odds for players who are s**t.
we r a team who make players stars!

I suggest we back this great team and club and push for 4th position (and hopefully outclass the yods) for 3rd.

Spot on mate!

Although I would prefer santos when he get's back and I think maybe einsfield could have a part; I expect him to go on a 1/2 month loan spell to a league 1 or 2 club.... if possible.

To the bloke that said after tonight's game will be tied for 4th. Did you think that one through? We are currently 6th. If we win we will still be 2 points off 4th.

While Chelsea look like the will drop points, we don't look any better

0 0 ht.
roll em over? dont seem it to me!!!!!

It's all there but the finishing....hopefully a good tongue lashing to Ramsey and Theo gets them going.

No reason to not bang a few in here. C'mon boys!

Ox has been our best player thus far...he needs to develop a bit of selfishness and look for goal


US Gooner

No question about our finishing being poor.
Man city goal difference 41
Arsenal goal difference 9

I hope we hit back, hard and get a few trophy wins. Beating Utd for a start. We are not that far off.

CS

Yeah US Gooner we really showed them

Oh dear, nuff said. Simply not good enough

Yeah yeah, and what a pitiful result we got!
We now sit seventh and with no chance of making top four and maybe even Europe.
Get real, it is time for change, Wenger has to go in the Summer if he is not prepared to invest. He dismantled our club and has failed to rebuild it.

Beat the piss out of them? have the piss took out of us more like! absolute garbage again - gooner wayne

Yes, US. Great team for Europa League.

Guys, we had a ton of opportunities... only problem i had was the lack of urgency

relax, not the response i wanted by the team, not the end of the world

chelsea will lose to manu, hopefully we take advantage next time

US Gooner

Us gooner are you on something

This team will not get top 4! I just find it stupid that we have the most expensive season ticket in the world and we don't even play the entertaining football they think justifies it anymore!

The fans that think we can get top for are the same fans that thought we would get hazard in jan. Sorry guys, but I don't think US gooner has a clue.

Wow, what have we become! cant even score against piss bottom teams. like some one says, i am okay with selling players as long as we can rebuild, wenger has forgotten how to rebuild. Stop selling as if 4th place position is a major victory!

I think u should be our motivational speaker in the dressing room cause wenger sure doesn't know wat the hell he's doing in there!

Rosicky is too old for the arsenal team, hes past it and as for grvinho he neds to learn to find the goal more, also we need to get rid of meresacker and buy someone like jagielka

Sorry. Been told Wilshere is out for the season. Hence Eisfield's signing. Joke.

Ben

Wilshere may well be out for the season, but I seriously doubt that that's why we signed Eisfeld. He seems like one for the future, not a replacement for one of our best players..

Ben what happened to Gotze? you told us we were signing him - infact you were so sure you even berated and mocked someone who said we would'nt?

what has your "source" got to say about this?

=-)

Wenger went in for Gotze and Eisfeld but for some reason we didn't get Gotze. I don't know what he has in mind though, we are still short upfront and through the middle.

It seems like all the big teams are dropping points all over the place so I still think we have a decent chance of qualifying for the champions league... It just seems sad that we aren't looking to better this.

CS

Gotze is injured, will be out for 2 months at least...

Oh and the Wilshere stories which you weren't told. They were revealed by Mail reporters on Twitter last night, is all lies.

Made up stories, there are absolutely no new developments since last Friday.

=M.A.

Typical Wenger signing. Buy someone for half a million or so and then bring them on and hopefully sell them on in a few years for 5 to 10 million. This is what the board require him to do to pay off the stadium. Up to now this strategy has paid off because the money from ECL qualification has augmented the sales and enabled us to remain relatively profitable at the same time. The downside though is of course lack of silverware and this has led to the loss of our star players over the last few years and in all likelihood the loss of ECL participation next year. RVP will almost certainly go in the summer if we fail to get 4th spot and who can blame him? I am afraid the fault is firmly with the attitude of the board and Wenger's willingness to appease them. Usmanov and Dein are the only hope. If they are not back in pretty short order I can see us having to live in the shadows of those awful spuds from up the Seven Sisters Road unless Harry's possible incarceration sufficiently destabilises them.

Hahah

M.A what on earth makes you come on here with these statements, on the BBC football website it is confirmed that Wilshere has a stress fracture would you like to put the record straight.

Hardly! We never buy big, apart from once or twice; and the big signings we have made haven't been brilliant with a few noteable exceptions such as Vermaelen and Oxlade-Chamberlain of recent.

Arsenal's consistency comes from it having a decent squad; albeit one with areas which need immediate improvement such as goals. People are quick enough to slate him, but that squad has a manager and incidentally they are pretty well managed.

I can withstand this recent form, and lower than usual league rankings i've been a supporter of Arsenal a long time; we've all seen worse. I am disapointed for that, but I see no reason not to be optimistic at least, that Wenger will improve this Arsenal side and we will be singing his name again soon enough.

CS

Ma the willshire story is true! why do you let on your in the know?
big dickey

Was it the correct MA that said that ,as she came on saying someone was using her account?

From Arsenal.com-suffered a small stress fracture , he will be assesed in 2 weeks, it is not true to say he has been ruled out for the season. So give the lady a break.

This is the top result on google:

" Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has suffered a second stress fracture on his injured ankle but has not been ruled out of the remainder of the season, the Premier League club said on Wednesday.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed last week that Wilshere had suffered a "little setback" in his recuperation from injury but did not go into details.

However, Arsenal on Wednesday confirmed that the 20-year-old midfielder had succumbed to another, smaller stress fracture in the same right ankle.

"The club can confirm Jack Wilshere has a small stress fracture to his right foot, however it is not accurate to state he has been ruled out for the remainder of the season," an Arsenal statement said.

"The injury is in a different area to his previous surgery and it will be reassessed in around two weeks' time by our medical team and medical experts, who have worked together throughout Jack's recovery.

"This is a recognised complication of a complex rehabilitation process and of critical importance, Jack's initial injury is recovering well."

Wilshere, expected to be a key figure in England manager Fabio Capello's plans for Euro 2012, has not played for Arsenal this season after picking up the injury last summer. "

What exactly is this Wilshere story?

CS

Eisfeld was not bought because of Jacks injury, he has been monitored for a while, we bought him as his contract has been running down ,so it only cost £400,000.

I am talking about the "Out for the entire season and possibly Euro's" story, that the Daily Mail seem to have somehow conjured up last night.

Read AW's statement in regard to it, plus Jack's latest Tweets on it... Yes, there's a small stress fractured that's come up on his heel. But there's absolutely NO CERTAINTY or guarantee that he's out the entire season/misses Euro's - YET.

This was the same news Jack basically told everybody last Friday; which was my point.

I never said there was no fresh injury or whatever people are seeming to take, from my last comment.

And ty for the person who in a way defended me, but t'was deffo me who posted that ^

=Miss Arsenal.
