NOW... the painful truth

Wenger has come out and blasted the press and Barcelona. At the same time, warned barcelona that we have as much chance of signing Messi as they would of signing Cesc.

Mr Wenger, why do you think everyone has the idea that we are a selling club.. This team is weak no matter what you say. Just look at our squad for tonight match.. and we lost 2 first teamer in Adebayor and Toure. With only one signing, i really don't see how we can challenge for anything this season. Our spending is that of a mid table team. How do you make people believe you have the money to compete and ward off others for wanting to buy your top players.

Some facts..

Denilson and Diaby are just not good enough. They will do ok if everyone else is playing well. But in tough matches, they will crumpled. Even is Denilson has played almost all the matches last season. i am sure everyone would agree that he is still not at that level.

At 21, Denilson is still at a pretty young stage and could improve more. But at this time, to challenge for the title. we simply need better.

Diaby at 23, apart from a few nice goals last season, is prone to errors. Errors that could prove costly in a title race. Being regard as a possible ball holding midfielder, the amount of time he loses the ball is scary.

Willam Gallas
32, defender
At 32, he is reaching the end of his playing career. now that we have lost toure, he is going to be the starting central defender. This is what i am worried about. His errors has not only cost him the captaincy but our title as well. We need another defender, Brede Hangeland could be a solution. he will add much needed height(1.94m) to our back line and signing someone who has played week in week out in the league before also helped. plus at 28, he has some level of experience. He will also be hungry as this will be his last chance of playing for a big club.

Theo Walcott
20, winger/forward
At 17, he was a bright shinning star. speed and ability lead to comparison with greats like Thierry Henry. Went to the world cup even if he never played. He was a star in the making. 3 year on, he has not become the player everyone wants him to be. Maybe he was a little overrated, his scoring record wasn't anything to be pround of. 5 goals in 25 matches and only 3 assists. Will he explodes and turn into a world beater? we really need him to do so if Wenger is not going to buy any strikers. if now then he better be careful, cause as it stand, Vela and even Wilshere could bring more to the field.

The upcoming matches against Everton and Celtic could show us more. We need to win and convincingly. Losing both will end our season even before it started.

New season.. but same old story

After a long break.. the new season is starting soon.. However for some arsenal fans like myself.. its the same old story again. I am pretty sick if u ask me.. on one side the board, wenger has come out to say they have the money.. on the other they are not signing anoyone and are satisfied with the squad. how can u be satisfied with a squad that didn't really challenge for anything really.. of course one can say that they were in the semi of the champions' league and all.. its just not good enough..


I am sure everyone is convince that the loss of flamini proves to be one of our main problem. The loss of helb is nothing to talk about really. I am happy with Nasri and Arshavin. The failure of finding the successor to Henry also proves to be a problem.

Let me start with the good news.

Jack Wilshere
17, attacking midfielder
Skillful, has that X factor about him. That 2 goals against Rangers show that he is just class. he also has the vision to pick out his mates (if u have seen his video, u will understand) I hope to see him more this season, but he does need to be grow strong. He does remind me of someone(dare i say, Messi) u decide.

Fran Merida Perez
19, midfielder
In the Rangers game, he looks good, maybe a bit raw. but with a few more games. i do believe he is good enough to play for us. He ability to play on the wings also give us option. With Nasri and RoSICKy (u know what i mean) out for the start he could be a able replacement.

Andrei Arshavin
28, attacking midfielder
One word to sum him up... CLASS. I think together with Cesc. we have 2 players that can really drag us up 1-2 places in the league. He has a game thats very hard to control if he is playing at his best. He is a very good finisher, he can take on players, he is fast and he can really pick out a pass. Being 28, he will also add that much needed mental strength to the team. Oh ya, for the 14-15 games he played last season, he score 6 and assisted 7.

Aaron Ramsey
19, Midfielder
He is good, he was able to control that game against Rangers. Everytime he played, he has done well. More games and experience will only make him better. Let hope he continue to improve. I think he has got lots of ability.. good passing, able to hold his own against bigger opponent.


Alexandre Song Billong
22, holding midfielder
He has to improve alot but i must say he is to me better then denilson and diaby. But he does need to improve his overall.

Cesc Fábregas
22, central midfielder
I dun have to say anything.. I do hope that if we dun signed anyone, he is not going to get fed up and leave. I have seen Wenger starting the matches in pre season with a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3. I do hope that our central trio would be cesc, song and ramsey. with song and ramsey doing the dirty work.. A free flowing cesc will be able to pick out our attacking players with ease.

Stay tuned for the sad part..
