forgot to add in the future bergkamp manager henry no2 that would be class. Azda14

Believable5 Unbelievable8

Why do people alway tout him for manager. Has everyone forgotten that he won't fly?

i would sell. Chamakh arshavin bendtner. Squid vela rosicky gibbs almunia gervinho(can skin people but never has an end product) would sign dempsey baines renato augusto and giroud. And a couple of no namers with a point to proove. NOT hazard not goetze players with crazy prices that havnt done a thing yet. Say we did pay 75 for them both and they flop then wat. Wenger has one of the best minds in the game believe in our manager. I also believe with bergkamp as number 2. And henry in the coaching staff would attract top players wat u guys think? Azda14

Believable15 Unbelievable6

Im sorry but you can't just sell gervinho after one season.. it does take time to adapt to the epl. take Kos for example it took him a season to fully adapt.. look at him now!
If he still isnt where he should be next season then you should be looking at him and thinking.. but you have to give him more of a chance than just 3 months!

batch

Agree0 Disagree0

Mate thats harsh on Gervinho, hes finding his feet give him time.... Look at his return to date, 4 goals and 7 assists, not bad for his first 3 MONTHS.. Also scored for his country in the Semi final last week... Has potential....

EDQ-85

Good luck finding buyers

Rangers going bust, maybe we should try a sneaky bid for Allan McGregor. Decent goalie in my opinion and would be good competition for Shezza.

GoonerDan {Ed002's Note - What is the difference between a "bid" and a "sneaky bid"?}

Believable7 Unbelievable6

Ed, add a cheeky bid to that list

Agree0 Disagree0

A sneaky bid is a bid when the opposition are least able to resist any wads of cash and will sell a good player such as McGregor for less than they would if they weren't screwed. As opposed to a stupid bid i.e Liverpool offering £35million for Andy Carroll or Barcelona £70 million for Ibrahimovic.

GoonerDan

Agree0 Disagree0

Totally agree with this. the man is a beast of a goalie, he's better than shezza by a mile.

-Homesick-

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha ! nice explanation dan . 002 get back in ur box :p ( while ur in there please feel free to keep up the good work )

Agree0 Disagree0

Nice explanation. Wenger only makes stupid bids

Agree0 Disagree0

He is no no way better then Szczesny.

Gilo

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he is better than Fabianski Almunia or Mannone. And so would add depth to the squad.

GoonerDan {Ed027's Note -

Agree0 Disagree0

A sneaky bid is when the said manager lurks in the shadows before stealthily approaching them from behind in a crouched position. The said manager then whispers his offer before scuttling off with the player's wallet.

Agree0 Disagree0

IMHO, he is the best goalie in the UK.
If you do get him, lock up your daughters !!

Hazard has been consistantly good for 4 seasons,club and country.How long chamberlain been playing well? {Ed027's Note - hazard has been poor for belgium

Agree0 Disagree0

Playing in a better league?

NUMPTY

Agree0 Disagree0

Well there are plenty of top teams that want hazard,all those experienced managers have got it wrong have they?

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you secretly arsene w trying to persuade us all round to his way of thinking that we don't actually need any investment?
joeml

Agree0 Disagree0

Who said i said anyone got anything wrong? i dont doubt hazrd has talent..but i also dont doubt chamberlin has talent aswell..and if he keeps playing games this seasson he will just keep getting better..chamberlin is gonna be an awesome player..

ed ,how is the FFP rules goin to work with likes of barcelona,there wage bill alone must be in negative equaty every year,fabregas aloan nust be on over 6 million pound a year.
tiny tim {Ed002's Note - It will work the same as it does with other clubs. Without getting in to the complexities, the rules are primarily aimed at creating a situation where the transfer fees are being paid using money generated by the club. Barcelona had a significant loss in the last published set of accounts and cartries something like £400M worth of debt (although interest payments on that debt are excluded from the FFP calculations. As the club generates so much income, they are less likely to be hit as Manchester City, Chelsea, PSG, Malaga and Anzhi - although Anzhi have already declared no interest in meeting the rules. Personally, I would not worry about these rules too much.}

Believable5 Unbelievable0

SO ED,IF ANZHI dont meet the rules criteria is there a chance they wont be aloud to enter the cl
tiny tim {Ed002's Note - Potentially but they have made it clear they don't care about that.}

Thanks ed

Hi All

What are peoples thoughts on having AVB as an assistant if he in sacked for Chelsea, be an understudy to Wenger with a view to be manager when wenger moves upstairs.

Cheers

Ronnybigs

Believable8 Unbelievable20

No thanks, he is woeful!

Agree0 Disagree0

Unlikely that a manger would want to become an assistant manager. he will feel with his experience he can get a manager position with a top club

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes mate, i said that same thing a few weeks ago, good idea. A good successor to Wenger, under the guidence of Wenger he will become great.
Nick.

We had a similar agreement with Hazard before the start of last season. Honestly can't see him going to spurs playing in front of 30,000 fans and getting champions league for one season until they run out of money (Harry bleeds another club dry, yippee) or playing on front of 60,000 and playing Champs league every year (taking this seasons struggle as a blip) before we spend some cash on new players this summer

Exo

Believable13 Unbelievable7

Harry bleeds what dry?
he dont deal with transfers!
and you wont have chaps league nxt season!
hazard will join spurs,watch and weep gooner!

Agree0 Disagree0

"He does not deal with transfers", and "you won't have champions league football next season". Typical Spurs fan, you need to sort out your grammar mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Everyone knows Redknap will leave at the end of the season, or before. Spurs will get one year in CL, on the up side, the directors at Spurs have a lot of money

Just for the record I think Eden Hazard is worth buying for 25-30 million. He is a fantastic player and if spurs were to get him that would be a huge scoop. However he said when asked directly about spurs yes I would join them. They are a fantastic club with fantastic players and a great manager. He didn't bring them up. Do you not think if they asked him about Chelsea he would have said something similar.
I would love us to sign him but he isn't the only world class player out there. I also would like us to sign Canvani, Higuain, M'Vila, Gotze, Kaka, Ozil, Vertonghen, Samba, Alba, Van Der Weil and whoever else we can think of. What I'm trying to say is Hazard isn't the only target but I would love to get him. Who wouldn't want class in their team. If Spurs get him it just means that's one more club that's showing more ambition than us but who knows maybe this story will have a positive effect. Think if Wenger got word of a player that he has wanted for years was about to go to Spurs he wouldn't react. Either contacting the current club or moving to get better players. Surely he wouldn't want that embarrassment!
Also in my opinion we should sign Seedorf on the free at the end of the year.

Believable11 Unbelievable1

Does the Mata deal ring any bells? Chase him for months, leave him to go to Chelsea for 2-3 million more than we offered.

In Wenger I Trust

Carl Jenkinson
The last six months have been a dream come true for me because I have always wanted to play at this level, and more importantly, for this football club

Hazard wants spurs deal to go through soon, some sort of agreement done but fee not finalised and he said tottenham with his own mouth this morning????

Believable3 Unbelievable13

He didnt quite say that he said he will move to england and maybe tottenham because they are a "great" team.

i dont think arsenal will let him go there without a fight though

But you know how our fight looks like. It's long, it's heavy ans we always loose it.
