The Emotional Highbury and The Grand Ashburton Grove

Highbury 1913-2006

For the majority of their time in south-east London, Arsenal played at the Manor Ground in Plumstead, a three-year period at the nearby Invicta Ground between 1890 and 1893 excepted. The Manor Ground was initially just a field, but the club installed stands and terracing in time for their first Football League match in September 1893. They played their home games there for the next twenty years (with two exceptions in 1894�95), until the move to north London in 1913.

Arsenal Stadium, widely referred to as Highbury, was Arsenal's home from September 1913 until May 2006. The original stadium was designed by the renowned football architect Archibald Leitch, and had a design common to many football grounds in the UK at the time, with a single covered stand and three open-air banks of terracing. In the 1930s, the entire stadium was given a massive overhaul, with new Art Deco West and East stands constructed, opening in 1932 and 1936 respectively; in addition, the North Bank terrace had a roof added, which was later bombed during World War II and not restored until 1956.

At its peak, Highbury could hold over 60,000 spectators, and had a capacity of 57,000 until the early 1990s. The Taylor Report and Premier League regulations forced Arsenal to convert Highbury into an all-seater in time for the 1993�94 season, reducing the capacity to 38,419 seated spectators. This capacity had to be reduced further during Champions League matches to accommodate additional advertising hoardings, so much so that for two seasons (1998�99 and 1999�00) Arsenal played Champions League home matches at Wembley, which could house more than 70,000 spectators.

Final moments - the emotions run high in Highbury

Ashburton Grove 2007-present

Expansion of Highbury was restricted because the East Stand had been designated as a Grade II listed building and the other three stands were close to residential properties. These limitations have prevented the club from maximising the revenue that their domestic form could have brought in recent seasons. After considering various options, in 2000 Arsenal proposed building a new 60,000-seater stadium at Ashburton Grove, since renamed the Emirates Stadium, about 500 metres south-west of Highbury. The project was initially delayed by red tape and rising costs, but construction was completed in July 2006, in time for the start of the 2006�07 season. The stadium is named after its sponsors, the airline company Emirates, with whom the club signed the largest sponsorship deal in English football history, worth approximately �100 million; however some fans refer to the ground as Ashburton Grove, or the Grove, as they do not agree with corporate sponsorship of stadium names.The stadium will be officially known as Emirates Stadium until at least 2012, and the airline will be the club's shirt sponsor until the end of the 2013�14 season.

Some random picks from previous thread on our last match review:

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Dec 31 2009, 07:38 AM)
I don't think anyone, be it Arsenal fan or not, will deny that Vermy has been the best buy so far.

I can accept the others, but not Glen Johnson. I must admit that I haven't been focusing on him or Liverpool too much, but put aside the nightmare he had against us I don't think he's done any better than Bak. One look at the 18M price tag and he's totally not worth it. Maybe he's just one of the better performing players in Rafa's team and hence got the nod in the list.

Kranjcar on the other hand is pretty impressive and I don't deny that at one stage I actually wanted him to come. But seriously we don't have any place for him in the team. Darren Bent is a surprise after being a dud for T'ham - maybe he is actually a good striker after all, it's just that T'ham didn't know how to use him correctly.
Nope we weren't playing 451, it's still a 433 only with Nasri dropping fairly deep at times while Song and Rambo charged forward quite a lot.

Lazy to do a full review this morning... actually there's nothing much to say either. We outplayed Pompey all the time and they never seemed capable to turn the game around. Without Fabs there's still not enough ammunition that reaches the box but the movement of our three midfielders were absolutely superb. It's probably the first league game which I'm fully impressed with Rambo and didn't find any faults with his game, and if he keeps this up we'll be safe once Song leaves for ACN. Speaking of which, congrats to Song who got a goal. It has been long overdue.

One thing worth mentioning - Andy was appalling this morning compared to what we know he can (and should) do. As expected he was outmuscled by Pompey's defenders but his movement and passes were totally off. Compare that to Dudu who roamed everywhere. Dudu's touch may still be rusty but his runs and passing are improving match by match and even though the goal was a deflection it'll still add to his confidence.

QUOTE(kimhoong @ Dec 31 2009, 08:54 AM)
I am also impressed by Ramsey's performance. He hasn't show much impact in his other matches before this and I was about to rate him lowly before this match.

Diaby is also worth mentioning. He has really turned into someone who we can rely on in the midfield. He is releasing ball much sooner and his positioning is good

Song has been Song as always. Having him to score is the last gift and confidence for him before heading for ACN. All the best to him and Cameroon.

Well, our three-man midfield has been very outstanding to my standard.

Other players such as Nasri and Eduardo at attack, Sagna on his tireless runs and crosses and Verm+Gallas great defense are all good biggrin.gif

Some let-downs players would be Arshavin... and Almunia in the goal conceded. The angle has been tight from Portsmouth players on the side, yet Almunia stayed at the edge of post and had little time to recover to middle position when the goal was scored. I know that even if he is at the middle, the goal might not be saved but at least, his positioning can be improved.... sorry for being picky but it's just a sharing for better improvement.

All in all, it has been a good game and a good month to all of us after some shitty November.... I like what Quick`mentioned:

Next, it's Arsenal vs 2010 rclxm9.gif

start watching not more than 3 mins then ramsey bang in his goal
that goal really piece of skill+luck+determine

when he steal the ball, there is a glimpse in my mind, then ramsey is facing gk but he didn't shoot maybe due to distance, he stepover the defender from left then swing his left foot, bang!!! goaaalllllllllllllllllll!! seriously, not much space left for him to shot

Song is only required to go off on the 4th. We have a game on the 3rd against West Ham. So he can still play one more for Arsenal

Memory lane, I just finish watching all the goal compilation of Henry goal, which contain his goals since the Overmars period, till the Invincible era, and also till Fabregas period, almost bring tears to me. Seeing all those goals and remembering the time he was still in the team, man those was the time, not that I'm saying our current team don't score beautiful goals, but still cant compare with even half of Henry effort it seem.

No matter it penalty, or freekicks, it seem Henry always add some spice into it, specially his freekick, if I did not watch the video compilation, I would have forgotten that Henry can also take very good freekick.

But 1 thing I do realize, during his time with Arsenal, during the Overmars period, till the Pires period, when he score a goal, he would celebrate with his teammates by hugging or such and such, but during the Young Guns period where Fabs, Hleb and Adebayor is around, it seem he did not celebrate much anymore, just some simple high five and such, maybe that time he already outgrew the club, never would have notice it if I did not watch the video compilation.

Anyway, great game today morning, I see us controlling the game for most of the time, great teamwork, and Song really know how to do his defensive duties, guess we going to miss his presence when he leave for his international tournament duties.

Good result from the lads. Didn't see the game, but I would think it was a cracker!

Anyway, AW started his usual "we don't need players" thing again after the win. However, earlier reports did quote him saying he needs to bring in some new faces.

Whatever happens, here's who I'd like to see coming in.

Wish List
1. Edin Dzeko
Although he's been playing with a strike partner at Wolfburg, he looks more than capable of occupying the lone-striker position that we employ this season. Our strikeforce without RVP looks a bit short of confidence while Bendtner may take some time to get back to full fitness. Strong, good in the air, quick with lethal finishing, Dzeko would be my ideal striker for the team.

2. Scott Parker
What? Why him?? He's overrated (I can anticipate some of your comments wink.gif). But hear me out... Sure he's never made it at Chelsea, but he had world class competition in Makalele back then. He adds a lot of steel in the middle of the park, his passing isn't too bad either and his tackles are robust indeed (just ask Jimmy Bullard). At 29-30, this would not be the typical AW signing, but his experience may be invaluable in our young midfield. It also helps that he's the ultimate professional with barely a whinge or complaint throughout his career.

Realistic List
1. Maroune Chamakh
While he's already said he doesn't want to leave Bordeaux, I find it hard to believe that the club wouldn't want to cash in on him before his contract expires in 6 months. We also saw last January that anything can happen in the transfer window and we should never say never. I personally haven't seen him play before, but AW seems to covet him. Franny Jeffers aside, AW's track record for forwards has been spot on for the past decade so I trust his judgement.

2. Some unknown kid from Africa...
.... Who will probably be a bundle of nerves and fans will start calling for his head before settling down in 4-5 years' time and perform like a potential world-class midfielder.... Why does this feel so familiar...

He probably wants to leave under free transfer . Is he really good? I never got a chance to see him or dzeko played before .
I wonder who scored free kick the most for arsenal , was it Henry ? Or someone else?
And please add me in the gooner list as well.

i have 1 question. When in direct FK, why i cant see any player defending the goal post except the GK? Is it easy to defend if they put more player at the goal post or goal line to defend? Is this move illegal?

no it's not illegal but if a player is at the goal post, the free kick could be easily directed to someone else to score because there won't be any offsides.

yups id can't agree more with this transfer wishlist. And regarding scott parker..erm he maybe not dat good at chelsea but he's
one of the key midfielder along with matt holland during charlton days. And its a dream come true if we can get dzeko. If u watch
when he scored both time against united this season...there's no doubt he know where & how to score. And when u have the clever
finisher combined with great provider like nasri,fab,arsh..then he could scoring goal for fun biggrin.gif

As for chamakh...i don't see any chances we're gonna bring him this january. His team in fiery form right now(top at Ligue 1 summit)
and make a short work out of bayern & juve and collect most points than any team during group stage. Bordeaux could truly be
the real darkhorse in this year UCL.

Nobody thought of getting Henry back? At least better than allowing him to join Man City. Quality is still there, good back up. He can act like the old Bergkamp. A perfect role model for the youngster

Why would Wenger want Henry? Will Henry be willing to sit on the bench and be a bit part player? Not in the World Cup I think. Plus it will do more harm to the youngsters than good, as they will be naturally always look for him when on the pitch. The same as it was in Henry's final season at Arsenal. That will just make our play one dimensional and easy to predict. Further to that, I think his prowess is already on the wane.

I don't think we need Henry back because he will just rob the youngsters' chance of moving to the first team. I see that we will need more solid center backs that are good in the air. At least we wont struggle with set pieces anymore.

So we basically need a striker, a midfielder and a defender doh.gif

Btw, Metzelder is frozen out at Real Madrid and his contract will expire end of season. If I was playing Football Manager...

Exactly.

You want to bring in a world beater to compete with Cesc and stiffle Song and Ramsey's development right?

imo, i think parker (let say he comes in) could not match wif cesc n song. n now, song is very good player. he is improving a lot as well as ramsey. song's development really helps arsenal midfield. of course there are few mistakes but hey, he is still young. same goes for ramsey, he use his oppurtunity really well (cesc injured) nice passes from him n a goal too. rclxms.gif as for song's ACN, im sure denilson can step up for defensive midfield duty. n diaby play better also dis few matches. good for him tho.

wat i think now arsenal really need a brilliant striker who is eligible for UCL too. but as wenger said its hard to find in january transfer. but lets have faith in wenger n hope he can bring superb player in january. oh n a defender too might be good as backup in case of injuries etc.

so what u guys think recommended player for arsenal. i've heard rumors abt bellamy. hehe shocking.gif

Honestly, as much as i hate Bellamy, i think he'll be a good addition to Arsenal. He's got some speed and has an eye for a goal and brings with him a wealth of experience playing in the EPL and he's pretty gung ho as well.

We don't really need a top notch striker at the moment, so we should cut off the likes of Chamakh, Robinho, Ronaldo, Dzeko or whatever top names. We need a stop gap striker who'd provide cover and chip in a goal or two when the going gets tough. Preferably someone who's powerful and physical. The thing is, when out strikers return from injury notably RVP and Bendtner, we'd have problem with strikers overload.

u know who we need?

robin van persie... biggrin.gif oh... we already got him. STFU ler... we don't need strikers. hehehe

we need is replacement for the aging Gallas. I'm sure Gallas is having a wonderful time with Vermy this season but the fact is he hasn't sign extension to his contract, which ends this season. He knows if he stays on, next season will be Djourou's season to make an impact. I do hope he stays and rotate with Djourou.

However, if u ask me, i don't want us to sign anyone but AW please play Senderos this weekend against West Ham. He is a good player, albeit error-prone.

Chamakh? Dzeko? no lah... no need to waste money. smile.gif

happy new year to all Gooners here in Lowyat.net

i missed the match again last night. sending the ma'am back to her school. but since we won, it's all good for me

downloaded the goals highlight and i like what i'm seeing from Samir particularly during the moves that resulted in his goal. the goal itself already a very very good goal, but i am more impressed with the more penetrative move shown by him when he overhit his cross to Dudu. i'd really like to see him doing more of the same, not overhitting his cross mind you..haha. i'd like to see him try to beat his marker more and try to be more penetrative in his game

AW is great at cloning players.
Diaby -> Vieira
Walcott -> Overmars
Van Persie -> Bergkamp
Adebayor -> Henry (FAILED!)
Clichy -> Ashley Cole
Flamini -> Petit

However, there is no clone of Tony Adams yet.

Nope, still true that there no clone for Tony Adam, the strong, tall and commanding defender.

Btw, on the upcoming transfer market, I definitely don't know who AW will get. Cause if he get a first choice player for any position, then one of our youngster progress sure will have problem. Or if he get some1 with potential, then surely we will have to many players with potential, sometime I'm really amazed with AW with all the decision he need to make laugh.gif Cause most of the time, he try to make every1 happy.

Come to think of it, 1 of these player decision that AW need to make is like the Vermy situation, where he need to sell Toure to actually let Vermy to get constant first team game, or selling Vieira so Fabs can progress more aggressively in his growth, decision after decision laugh.gif Lucky it all work well

Vermaelen is a hybrid of Keown and Winterburn.

Keown's positioning, marking and pace (for a big man, he did have pace).

Winterburn's height and craziness.

could it be this everyone got wrong about diaby? not viera but zidane anyone? he do has the 'lazy lazy' touch but very hard to get the ball from him , he also has good body balance .. his way of touching the ball , stopping it also kind of excuisite ... hmmm ...

anyway i think our midfield congested already , we should get a nice cheap cb to backup the 2 cb right now .. somebody cheap and experienced like silvetre but more reliable than him hehe

anyway happy new year to you guys

Disagree too, every one does play on their own statue and style.
Only Clichy-Cashley Cole has the most resemblance.
But then, Clichy is not money minded, so FAIL.

i got the feeling that TV will be the crazy guy we've all been wishing for in a very near time biggrin.gif

for Bergkamp kind of crazy, look no further than Samir. bag of skills, with a little bit of rebellious type of behaviour (see Joey Barton and Garcia from Hull incidents)

Crazy is one thing, being tough is another.

Maybe some of you guys are missing the likes Keown and Lehmann... but you guys have forgotten Eboue whistling.gif


It's true that it's hard to find Tony's quality in the squad right now; Commanding, tough and matured CB. If you are looking at the physical similarity, you may look at Senderos biggrin.gif

I also have some worries on Senderos' progress. Three four years ago, we can see that he was getting some head-ups. Now, he should be playing at least 20% of our games or so. However, until now, I can't remember if he has been in the first eleven before. Even Silvestre is higher than him in the pecking order now.

Senderos is a good lad, AW should either loan him out or play him. Otherwise, sell him off. I still have faith on Senderos sad.gif ... damn, I just can't stop linking Senderos with Drogba doh.gif

Sendy is unfortunately a gone case. I liked the lad as he never complained when he didn't get enough first team appearances, and he is a decent defender with not much pace but fairly good height and aerial ability. Like Cygan he's unlucky that most of his mistakes were significant enough to etch in most people's memory.

We probably will never know what happened to him at Milan as he didn't get any chance to prove himself there, and when he came back he was already on the transfer list. Even Silvestre who's heading into his twilight years of his career is ahead of him now. He was linked with Everton during the summer but with JD injured for the season we're probably just keeping him for numbers' sake.

Wellington... we're not going to see him much anyway, unless anyone has regular access to reserve/youth team matches. There's no way to determine what kind of player he is either as we don't even have good youtube clips to view, plus at the tender age of 16 his development could go either way. One thing to clarify is that signing youngsters is always a separate issue from signing ready made players, so if we end up empty handed this Jan let's not make this an excuse to criticise the team saying that "Arsene only signs kids."

Yeah, agreed that Senderos is abit of a sad case. I thought he was an alright defender that would learn the trade in Arsenal and eventually be our top defender. Plus, he has a great jump and is brave too. Couple of years back when Senderos started playing for us, we had a good 10-12 unbeaten matches run towards the end of the season where Senderos was playing for us and he very nearly kept a clean sheet for us almost every other match. But now, he's even lower than Silvestre as you mentioned. I really can't find a reason why, except maybe he played zero amount of games in Milan and lost his match fitness entirely and possibly his confidence too. I have a gut feeling Senderos's loan to Milan has got something to do with Flamini's transfer too. Maybe they wanted to package him with Flamini. Some kinda disposal transfer i guess.

But i think his problem isn't so much of the lack of pace, its his positioning as a defender. And for a guy as huge as him, he lacks the physical part of a defender and evidently, he was constantly bullied by Drogba and it didn't help when he played against Drogba like 2-3 matches, all of which Drogba's goal came from the tussle with Senderos. Comparing with Cygan, i think he's a bit better. Cygan offered literally nothing and its no surprise he didnt last more than 4 seasons with us.

Anyways, i hope Senderos finds a club that needs his service and i really do hope he gets regular games. He's been truly a professional for Arsenal and its a pity he didnt improve as fast as he should.

Senderos was one of my favourite underdog. He doesn't have the fancy skills, nor the physical built. He just clears the ball and win the aerial header. I still remember his bleeding head and the bandag after that. Really a brave defender. I was dissapointed when he was loaned out to milan, but then I was hoping he will return someday to Arsenal again. So sad to hear he is dropping down the pecking order. Nice lad.

Cygan was a weird case in the sense that he won the POTY in France before coming over. He actually wasn't that bad apart from being slow, and he has a sweet left foot that made accurate short passes to the midfield. I suppose his worst moment would be the cameo on the wings which led to Saha's equaliser after Titi scored that scorching rocket from Reyes's square pass, but his best would be the brace he grabbed vs Fulham where he could have had a hat-trick if Kolo had not blocked his final attempt on goal. Maybe he just didn't suit our team, or maybe we just bought him at the wrong time as he started to decline.

Sendy's nightmares against Drogba would forever be remembered and used against him as evidence that he couldn't subdue good strikers, but honestly tell me which defender didn't find it hard to play against Drogba? I don't think his loan to Milan had anything significant to do with Flamini as the latter left on a free transfer, but maybe it was just an opportunity for us to unload him somewhere since we were already in contact with them.

We truly are paper thin at the back. We've been lucky that Vermy-Gallas has played in nearly every match but the fears of injury or suspensions will always loom around our heads. Silvestre is the only available backup (excluding Sendy) before we need to call upon the youngsters like Bartley. The fullback position suffers from a similar problem, where we've only got Bak and Traore for the moment. I'm not sure how Arsene is going to manage this during the January transfer window - maybe a loan deal for a versatile utility man but we haven't seen him do loans for a defensive player.

Huntelaar? Thanks but no thanks. Good news for me IMO.

Reason is simple. If we were still on the 4-4-2 formation I'd snap him up in a heartbeat. However our current 4-3-3 and style does not suit him at all. If we were to buy a striker it would have to be someone in the RVP mould as well. We need someone who can drop deep with a first touch and ball retention skills as good as RVP. A striker that can play in teammates as good as RVP does as well as someone quick enough who can keep up with our attacking midfielders to join in the attack after releasing the balls from deep.

Don't get me wrong I do still rate Huntelaar as one of the best finishers around but he just simply won't fit in.

Its no coincidence that Arsene still persists with Andrey down the middle even with Dudu fit.

Theo missed the Portsmouth game with an injury but could be back to face Everton on January 9. "Walcott has a ripped muscle [in his side] and out for 10 to 12 days," said Wenger.

diaby was the tallest and to maintain the balance he needs to be standing in the middle.what do u mean by aspect ratio was wrong?that was another view of the team.the front view was the official wallpaper.

Don't tell me Man Utd also wanna concentrate on league and UCL? I tot we were the only ones wanting to concentrate.

But you don't field a weak team consisting of Rooney, Giggs, Berbatov and Owen right? I'm not looking down upon them, just a thought really.

There are plenty of decent streaming at myp2p smile.gif

http://www.myp2p.eu/competition.php?compet...ipline=football

Our game is not convincing enough sad.gif

Obviously, the players are not fully "clicked" especially on the attack.

Plenty of work from our players in order to get a favorable result.

we are just not good enough.we can see merida and wilshere is lack of experience. ramsey was decent.song too.we could have concede lots of goal.lucky we have billy G and TV.
2nd half need to add more creativity.

FA cup is a knock out competition i.e. no home and away. only have is the match ended in draw resulting in a replay match

Billy Gallas played Diamanti onside for their goal. our striker need to start shooting, and i mean really shooting. asyik sepak tak kena betul saja

Lol anyways I can't say I'm too bothered even if we join Man Utd in the FA Cup bin. Well of course I want us to win just that I don't think I'll be losing any sleep over this one if we get knocked out.

If anything Silves was more at fault IMO. That was very very lazy defending there. He had two options then which was 1. Deal with Diamanti or 2. The lazy option of just pushing up in hope the flag will go up and unfortunately he chose option 2.

dudu just getting his positional sense back. once the confidence built, he'll be scoring goals. biggrin.gif

MOTM was robert green. damn, arsene should spend and buy him if West Ham is having a fire sale!

Game changing subs? Nasri for his ball control and distributions. Diaby was good too but Nasri made the difference with his creativity.

It's a good result but our first half has little to shout about. Our second half was much better where we control the ball and attack well most of the time.

Ramsey's goal was good but it was Eduardo's one the highlights of the match rclxm9.gif

diaby gave the physical presence... nasri provides the creativity.

i see that Nasri will takeover cesc role this coming wednesday. Give vela more runs on the left flank. start arshavin on a free role right hand side. keep dudu center. i think that'll be the best line up we could have. wooot! bring on bolton.. FTW!

this is probably the 1st time Sopcast work well during the whole match for me. maybe the fact that i am out of country which mean i am not using Streamyx have something to do with it biggrin.gif and we won rclxms.gif

it's 5.15 here now, so it's time for me to get some sleep. before i do that, i just want to say what a monster of a player Alex Song had become. he must be among the 1st name on the player sheet during match day. watch what he did for the Dudu winning goal. commentators wrongly did not mention his part during the build up to the goal, but that move sums up almost everything that is going right for Alex Song.

1st of all, he received the ball in the right area; just around the outside penalty area. i like this because this showed we played with 3 midfield, not 2 CM and 1 DM; the DM being Alex Song. then he hold the ball well while moving forward and looking for options. having choosing the correct option of passing the ball left to Carlos Vela, it was very easy for him to pass the ball straight to Carlos Vela. but he did not do it just yet, instead he drew both defenders (the 1 marking him and the 1 marking Carlos Vela) to him before releasing the ball to Carlos Vela. this give Carlos Vela more time to provide the perfect cross to Dudu.

the moves showed how good and excellent Alex Song positioning, decision making, vision and passing are. what a player Alex Song currently is thumbup.gif

dudu looks out place earlier becoz he need to find himself teh chance
once both player came in, he just sat in the box and switch on his predatory instinct.

i do not know how many cover do you want for 1 first team position.

we have enough cover for the LB position. we have 3 players competing for 1 place there; Gael, Kieran and Armand. we are just hit by our annual injury freak thingy

merida and wilshere will always get 1st priority on FA cup competitions. Not to worry though.. Aw has been playing reserves in CC and FA for some time now. You can expect these guys to step it up next time around. It's good experience for them. you gotta remember, jack n merida are still young. Ramsey had some 1st team chances and look how he is now. before this he was crap and inconsistent... but the past 2 games he has shown some consistency and also his decision making seems to be better.

Added on January 4, 2010, 2:31 amaiseh... our 4th round tie will be against Stoke City. another premier league team.

4th round draw..

Southampton v Ipswich Town
Reading or Liverpool v Burnley
Millwall or Derby County v Brentford or Doncaster Rovers
Bristol City or Cardiff City v Leicester City

Stoke City v Arsenal

Notts County or Forest Green Rovers v Wigan Athletic
Scunthorpe United v Manchester City
West Bromwich Albion v Plymouth Argyle or Newcastle United
Everton v Nottingham Forest or Birmingham City
Accrington Stanley or Gillingham v Fulham
Bolton Wanderers v Sheffield United or QPR
Portsmouth or Coventry City v Sunderland
Preston North End v Chelsea
Aston Villa v Brighton & Hove Albion
Tranmere Rovers or Wolves v Crystal Palace
Tottenham Hotspurs v Leeds United

must say that Chelsea had it easy... Preston not really performing this year. Same with ManCiteh... what a favorable draw for them to get Scunthorpe United. huhuhuhhu

LEEDS Vs SpudS!! come on LEEDS!!!! thumbup.gif

stokes = delap. biggrin.gif

Against them, a corner kick is always a better choice than a free throw. I can imagine coming into this match, AW will again reiterate his wish that free throws be replaced by free kicks. whistling.gif

WENGER IN CALL TO SCRAP THROW-INS
Arsène Wenger wants to nullify the ‘Rory Delap effect’ by scrapping the throw-in. The Arsenal manager believes that kick-ins should be the way to restart play when the ball goes out along the touchlines. Wenger, whose side conceded twice at Stoke last season from Delap’s 60-yard throws, says on the Arsenal website: ‘The rule I would change would be maybe to play throw-ins by foot. Why not? I think it would make he game quicker.’ He says the advantage gained by teams possessing long-throw specialists is unfair. ‘At Stoke, for Rory Delap it is like kicking the ball. It’s a little bit of an unfair advantage. He is using a strength that is usually not a strength in football.’ Wenger believes there is no reason why the change couldn’t work. ‘Football is the most popular team game in the world and one day some crazy guy said, “We don’t use the hands”.’ The kick-in experiment has been tried before. In 1993-94 the Diadora League (now the Ryman League) was authorised to use kick-ins but the trial was abandoned after one season when some teams simply used long-kick experts instead of long-throw specialists to bombard their opponents’ goal. In November 1996, Task Force 2000, a panel of football experts featuring Johan Cruyff and Franz Beckenbauer, considered the question and agreed that kick-ins would bring no benefit to the game.

Asked about his transfer window plans, the Frenchman said: ''I don't know...a player or two. We'll try to be in the market.''

As for the draw, which handed his side a trip to the Potteries, Wenger said: ''It doesn't really matter, what's important is the performance (we produce).''

it was a great game... great atmosphere. West Ham was good at defending and counter attacking. they got in front after getting behind out offside trap. defensive mistake? yes and one that AW should rectify. Silvestre was unusually too high up last nite. most time he was caught in no man's land. I was rooting for Traore to come on but Diaby and Nasri did the job well. smile.gif

after the break, we kept pressuring west ham but couldn't get past Behrami. man... he got a monster game last nite. Merida got some nice touches but couldn't connect with Dudu. Vela had a great game. if we were to deploy him and walcott on left/right flanks. RVP/Bendtner would flourish. i could see vela more like Pires, roaming on the touchline but can cut inside and make something happen. biggrin.gif

I pity the hammers. they got a very talented squad but i think their youths will be sold very soon. Stanislas and Nouble were awesome. they were pacey, strong and intelligent. It won't be long before someone like Villa, spurs, MU come knocking for these guys.

keep it going u gunners.... bolton next!

i thought it was a great cup game where league position does not have any effect to the match. both teams prefer attacking rather than defending, with us understandably having more of the possession. West Ham however looks very dangerous on counter attack. and with Silvestre playing the left back position, anything is possible from their counter attack

however, i do think we slightly deserve the win as we controlled the game more and having more clear chances. Carlos Vela showed what he can do when he make a run on defenders, god knows how come he did not do it more often during the first half

and i say this again, Dudu goal was pure class

i think, vela will give a threat to def if he tried to move up forward. before the 1st goal, he always back pass.

if he try to run at defender, that's better. look at the cross, and ramsey goal. it was vela who go thru the center. before the goal, back pass all the time.

hope he can improve biggrin.gif

yup, that had been the case more than not for Dudu

what i want to stress out is that everything about the goal were pure class. Alex Song was superb when starting the move, the cross by Carlos Vela was inch perfect so does the header from Dudu. make no mistake about it, that was a very difficult header to execute. hopefully this will bring back Dudu confidence in front of goal in which seems to be lacking recently

Ya that's what i'm going to say. Vela is a very special boy to me, his skill, his vision. I even rate him higher than wilshere or ramsey. But in this morning match, he was very normal.

If you guys are knocking Vela, then surely Eduardo deserves similar treatment. In the first half, both of them looked out of place, perhaps because Dudu was on the left and Vela was in the middle.

After switching around and the introduction of more experienced hands, they both sprung to life and on this basis, I have to say Vela was more involved compared to Dudu. Vela is quite composed on the ball and perhaps has better dribbling ability and definitely pace.

Its clear to see that both Ramsey and Vela are still inexperienced player once they got targeted by the opposition.. the introduction of SN and AD both draw some attention away and the switch role for both Dudu and CV allow both to grow on the match.

With more games, now that we advances to 4th round, they will be more comfortable on the pitch hopefully.

Hopefully, the 2nd goal will open the floodgate for Dudu.. you can see that his confidence returned the way his celebration are.. compare that with his goal celebration before..

Good game overall.. AA23 got his deserved rest, Dudu found his scoring boot (and hopefully his confidences as wel) and Vela, Merida all got another chance later.

Now pray for some backup defenders to give both Billy and TV some breather before its too late.

AW is going to find a striker for the club. I bet lots of rumours will start to fly about in a while. I'm really anxious to see who fills up RVP slot for the rest of the season. We need some proven goalscorers for sure! The other time, Darren Bent was rumoured to our club. He's doing pretty well this season for sure!

Good to see Rambo playing well and smacked in another beauty. He's starting to stamp his authority in midfield now, and the competition between him, Diaby, and Denilson as the candidate for the final position will only make the team better. Rambo's probably the most two-footed attacking player we have available for now.

Bolton up next, and like le Boss said that game is actually more important than this FA cup match as 3 points would put us ahead of MU and make Chelsea sweat. In the past the team often failed to take advantage of games-in-hand, and should we not grab the chance this time we might have trouble surpassing MU let alone chase Chelsea.

The transfer market is scarily quiet this time. No one new is linked with us for now with the exception of names that have already been mentioned in summer.

We must treat this Bolton game as a cup final to be honest.

As for this transfer window, we might see a possible domino effect which possibly will be started by Chelsea or Man City.

actually I think most teams will wait til this weekend's game to really assess what their needs are. Having said that, i think most of us would agreed that CB is our most important signing right now. Someone with quality but a good backup player, not really a 1st teamer. Metzelder anyone? biggrin.gif

City maybe, but Chelsea has been far too quiet since summer. Roman's being tight handed perhaps... and the punishment they received earlier might have been preventing them from approaching players in their usual aggressive manner.

Song's going off soon while Denilson's injury flared up again, but with Diaby putting in fine performances for the past few matches it seems that Abou has managed to overcome his inconsistency problem. Same with Rambo who has been impressive whenever called upon, a coming of age maybe.

Our ideal versatile defender who can slot in anywhere whenever required remains to be found... It's hard to say whether Arsene is looking for that player or not, but with all those rumours about us getting a striker (which I don't we will) they can all be a good smokescreen for Gazi and friends.

wow, why striker is not important? Most of our goal came from midfielder (actually almost all our player already scored lol) and with RVP probably out until end of the season, Bendtner...ermm he can play for FA cup but I really concerned about our striker even before at the start of the season but look like we still doing good and winning games but I know why you concerned about the CB, we just have to wait and see its all depend on AW.

scoring 1 goal and keeping a clean sheet is far more important.

that 1 goal could come from anyone.

but that clean sheet depends primarily on the CB 1st, then the rest of the team.

yep. i think we're ok within the striking department. With Bendtner coming back soon, Vela already back and Dudu finding his touch, i don't see why we need to add to this. We should go ahead and give our reserves some chances. that's the AW way.

Diaby - I'll talk to Wenger about Song role

By Nick Teale

Abou Diaby says he will speak to Arsène Wenger about taking on Alex Song's role while the 22-year-old is away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Frenchman has recently signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal and has been touted as a possible replacement for Song in the defensive-midfield role.

The Cameroon international has made the position his own this season and no other player has featured in more Gunners games than he has.

Diaby is one of a number of players who has been linked with taking on the role in Song's absence and, speaking after the 2-1 FA Cup victory over West Ham United on Sunday afternoon, the Frenchman said he would be happy to help out.

"I will talk about that with the manager and if he wants me to play in that position, I am happy to do it," he said. "We will see what happens.

"Alex is a very important player in our team. Because he is going, we have to replace him and make sure we do the same job without him."

I rather not hoping to see him taking song role.
I don't want to see he become back the old Diaby who forgot to track back opponents and being too offensively and forgot his DM duty.

Just put him as where he was now and i rather let denilson or even merida to take up that role

hmm..u must have missed a number of matches..
Coming back from injuiry, Diaby has been fantastic in terms of both offensive and defensive but it's the former that he's more better at..
He might not be as good as Song while defending but rite now he's da toughest CM we have at the moment.. thumbup.gif
Denilson is quite decent but he's too easily brush aside by bigger opponents while Merida is yet ready for BPL as what we can see during da match against WH.

Apparently, it is not really a good choice to play Offside trap on opponent's ground.

Huh? Playing for offside means keeping a high line of defense. If the line is kept well, no reason why we won't get the flag. For the tactic to work, we need a leader at the back who is always standing slightly behind the other 3. What is more important is for the other 3 to be in tandem and ensure that they are never behind the last man.
Or all 4 of them can just learn to raise their hands at the same time tongue.gif (that works!!)

QUOTE(tungfunglaw @ Jan 4 2010, 11:04 PM)
hmm..u must have missed a number of matches..
Coming back from injuiry, Diaby has been fantastic in terms of both offensive and defensive but it's the former that he's more better at..
He might not be as good as Song while defending but rite now he's da toughest CM we have at the moment.. thumbup.gif
Denilson is quite decent but he's too easily brush aside by bigger opponents while Merida is yet ready for BPL as what we can see during da match against WH.
*
Merida is not a defensive player. To put him in the Song role would be suicidal. He's more like Fab, a roaming offensive midfielder with goals in his locker.

Just to add some stats;

Nordtveit for Nuremberg

25 starts and only once was substituted out. Only 1 yellow card so far.
For a defensive players with that many games, the solitary yellow card is certainly good news. Maybe he's the reason why Wenger is not yet investing in another central defender. tongue.gif

no quote whatsoever in that article. typical transfer rumour crap

however, if Fran did not feature in the 1st team at all after this that will be the clear indicator that he is off on the summer. and as of now, i do not think it is much of a loss for us

yep. i think Merida and Wilshere are the 2 players that needed more guidance from AW. for Merida to go, i think it'll be his mistake. For wilshere, as AW said, he'll wait til end of January before making the decision to go ahead and loan jack elsewhere.

Merida got some qualities but he has fail to impress. agreed with u guys if he did sign to go elsewhere, then adios... good luck to him.

more pressing matter is getting Gallas to sign extension.

It's really shocking to find out that Merida is quitting Arsenal (if it is true)

Another Bentley in the making? I'm not sure.

Seriously, I do not see Merida playing much. I don't even know what his best position is although I know he's a midfielder. He hasn't show any impact yet, but overall, he's a good player - in general.

With Ramsey (who was brought in later than Merida) ahead him, it must be difficult for him to impress. Choosing to quit is not a bad move, at least to him in short term. All the best to him (if this is true)


Talking about youngsters, I am surprised that not many are shooting at Wilshere's last match performance. sweat.gif I know he's young and so but those unfriendly long back passes were just too awful to my liking... even if it's from a teenager like our little Jacky.

don't regard merida as bentley. yes preseverance is crucial. but when you have 4 midfielder ahead and the oldest is 24 years old (minus rosicky), that is kinda hard to stay.

Here's what his agent said

Merida's agent Joseba Diaz said: "It is not a question about money but it is because he wants to play. He is very grateful to Wenger and Arsenal but wants to build a career in Spain."

arsenal.com hasn't confirmed anything regarding Franny, but if it's true that he's leaving than all I can say is good luck and may he not get Bentleyitis.

There's no denying that his performance vs Hammers are somewhat disappointing, but that shouldn't be the main reason for leaving. Song was horrible in his debut and was quite rubbish in his early days until last year where things turned around and voila, he's now first choice and indispensable. Maybe the abundance of young players fighting for the CM spot smothered his motivation, especially when newcomer Rambo is starting ahead of him. If anything, he should learn from Rambo as the latter also had some sloppy games with us last season before truly showing his consistency in recent games.

There's no way Franny's going to squeeze into AM's first team as he couldn't even make it regularly to our bench. Nevertheless, if it's what he want then all the best for the lad, and may he become an Atletico legend one day.

i think it is fair for merida to leave...he is too far the packing order and he is already 19 and soon 20...he need to be playing a lot....we got too much talent in his position cesc,ramsey,lansbury....and sometimes i even forget that cesc is just 22...we dont have to worry about this....we are spoil with young talent...merida will be a big name soon...but too bad it is not with us...

As for Merida case it's not really a surprise, Fabregas set the standard really high for Arsenal's young players. Now it seem like they are expecting themselves to break into the 1st team at 18 or 19 and be in the starting eleven at 20 or 21. Maybe they don't realize Fab is a special case, someone like him only appear once in an era. Anyway if Merida is really going I hope it'll be for good ... for us and for him.

I notice it. Many things doenst work well for him dat night. He had lots of dribbles, lots of flair, lots of skill which many of them end up unproductive and losing the ball to opponent. If he had got a bit of luck on his side, he might assist and scored a few but luck doesn't comes easily we knew dat.

However, I wont be complaining because he needs to gain his confidence and le boss is willing to give. CR7 first season in EPL isnt any better. His losing balls all the time but SAF gives him opportunity and keep playing him to gain his confidence. I love our creativity in passing and movement but we still need some1 with flair to penetrate the defence and cause havoc like what hleb used to do (aldou he cant shoot tongue.gif)

Hope he get more sub chances and keep improving. We saw the improvement in our Rambo ard. Hoho.

That is so last century.

Veloso is not a CB and will never replace Gallas should the latter leave. For all the hype Veloso is getting, we don't have much space to accommodate him as there's only one spot left for grabs. As Diaby starts hitting form, Rambo maturing, and Denilson providing the best balance, Veloso would find himself in huge competition and being a newcomer that lacks the reputation and achievements of Arshavin he'd be starting most of the games on the bench.

If Tommy deserves a contract extension even when he was injured most of the time, surely Gallas deserves so much better. We've made some mistakes in the past regarding senior players, with Gilberto being the prime example; Gallas is one worth hanging onto as he's still in top form and despite being 32 he still has much left in the tank for his position.

Looks like Franny's most likely gone.
http://youngguns.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/...r-meridas-exit/
Jamie's very reliable regarding youngsters, and if it comes out on his site there's a high chance it's a done deal.
If we do get 3M, it's not a bad deal after all... It almost balances out the money we spent on Wellington.

Anyway, hopefully Jack and Franny read this:
QUOTE
I think that he will say to Fran that if things don’t work out he has to play some easy balls instead of trying to do the difficult passes all the time.  In this game Fran was trying so hard to deliver the killer ball that at the end he even couldn’t make the simplest of passes because his confidence had gone after all those missed passes.

I think he will tell Jack that he doesn’t have to dribble all 11 players before releasing the ball.  Dribble and then pass it to a team mate and if that works out he can try more. He doesn’t have to produce some kind of magic every time he touches the ball.

Vaccine for Bentleyitis perhaps.

Regarding match gathering, it's encouraged for members to meet up, to build up the rapport, to know each other better smile.gif

I am always available at BRJ area icon_rolleyes.gif

As I mentioned before, we can have a list of members in different area - to "facilitate" mini match gathering among smaller groups of members biggrin.gif

You mean this Thursday midnight? Hehe... I'm fine too because I'm working on late shift @ 12pm laugh.gif

As for weekend matches, too bad I'm probably occupied because my gf's sister and the bf are coming to town.

Afterwards, I will be on business trip (to India cry.gif ) until February sad.gif

the "1-year-only-contract-extention-rule-for-player-over-30-years-old" maybe broken by le Boss for Billy Gallas case.

SOURCE

this quote caught my attention.

QUOTE(le Boss from the article)
At West Ham on Sunday, he is half-injured with a muscular problem and the physios tell me he might not play but he comes in and tells me he can. When he is 50-50, he plays.
*
it shows 2 things

1. what a fighter and a winner Billy Gallas is
2. we are very close to Silvestre being the frequent name in 1st eleven if le Boss did not bring able cover for Billy Gallas and TV as clearly Billy Gallas is not 100% fit now

kesimpulannya, just get him to sign the damn contract la Boss

been reading some rumour mill reports about vieira coming back to the EPL, and the talk seems to be picking up steam. although i don't vieira has enough juice to rejoin arsenal, the thought of vieira putting on the jersey of another EPL club is kinda hard to swallow, especially when the team seems to be the club that loves to recruit all things arsenal... =)

Man City close on Vieira as Lyon lose interest

It's ok I guess as long as it's not Spurs. But in fairness, it could create some trouble for the crowd when City comes to visit the Grove later on this season. On one hand they would want to cheer for Patrick and on the other they would want to hammer The Idiot. So, might actually make the noise level just about nice. tongue.gif

As much as I love Vieira, I don't think he would command a regular starting place ahead of the much younger De Jong and Barry.

The only reason he's going is because of the Mancini, who probably needs to build up his army in the backroom.

I'd feel something if Vieira pulls on the City shirt and play us. He's like our legend and as much as i want him to continue his career and play in the world cup, it will be too much if he plays us and then score against us. But certainly, we'd give him a loud cheer.

if he do indeed don the ManArab's shirt, as long as he carries himself over well.. I see no problem .. The crowd will cheer him up just like Bobby Pires when Sevilla came to the Grooves last season.

We always welcome him as part of our legend.

And if he can kick some barn door's ball while training there .. all the better .. icon_idea.gif .. "According to Arsebloger" rclxm9.gif

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to play Denilson in Alex Song's defensive midfield role. Song is now with Cameroon for the African Nations Cup this month.

Denilson is fit again following a back problem, and Wenger has no doubts the young Brazilian is up to the challenge.

"Denilson is an all-rounder, but he can play in this position and will come in for Song," said the Arsenal boss.

"He is very strong in reading the game and winning the ball back.

"Denilson has 150 games in the Premier League. People do not notice how important he is for us and he
can play in every single position in midfield."

Sigh chances of a LIVE telecast for the Bolton match looks very slim indeed IMO. I've got Astro Byond in my house and one of the new features is we can check programme information as well as future programmes for the whole month and it isn't listed. They will be showing a football match but its a repeat of an FA Cup game. Even in Sportscentre it doesn't state there is a LIVE telecast.

Guess streaming is the only option then for those who want to catch the game.

Nothing has been confirmed regarding Carlton Cole, in fact everything up till now has been tabloid hoohah. I'm not convinced that Cole will be our signing. Good player perhaps, but what is working against him is (1)his scoring record hasn't been outstanding until this half season (2) English = $$$ as 9M is too much for a player who's likely to be short term replacement (3) Jay Simpson is coming up the ranks and is a similar type of player (4)Not necessarily suit Wengerball.

If we were to get players in the similar mould, Defoe (more prolific scorer) or Kalou (more versatile) would suit our team more; but Defoe is unlikely to be on sale while Chelsea already rejected us for Kalou last season.

Denilson is a totally different player from Flamini. Critics often bash Denilson for not being physically strong enough, sure enough the lad ain't huge like Baptista but he makes it up for perfectly timed interceptions and positioning. You will never see Denilson tackling like a mad dog in the sense of Flamini or Cana, but if you have been following Denilson's progress you will see that he is now quite aggressive in his tackles, often nipping the ankles and not easily shoved around.

No matter who the prospect is, I feel really excited when Arsenal is signing some one.
The feel is just different because apart from the reason they seldom buy, we know that
the signing will be a real quality.

Arsenal spotting prowess is legendary.
In England, there is even a rule of thumb (Forgot which website I read that give good analysis) :

To scout for great talents, just follow Arsenal's scouts. rclxms.gif

another one is Big Bobby Zamora
he is been a revelation for Fulham this season
his assist and holding up ball sure promising..
he can score great goals too..
price wise, dont think he will come cheap..12-15mil is the best

Bobby Zamora sure is a great addition if he comes in.

It will be a great help if Arsenal can sign some one who can finish clinically in front of goals.
Type of striker like Drogba, Torres, Tevez or Rooney.
What I mean is that when he is one on one with a goalie, you can always bet with confident it is a goal.
Honestly, when Ade still with Arsenal, this is not the case. doh.gif
I always nervous whether Ade can finish it or not.

Our main three rivals have this kind of striker. I saw many instances that these player made the differences between winning and losing.

For now, with RVP out we only have AA who from my opinion who can take chances properly.
Not that the other Arsenal players are not good, but goal opportunity comes in split second.
We need everyone to step up.
Cheers. rclxm9.gif

Eh? The real truth, or just agent talk?

I believe Atletico must be following Franny closely despite not securing Franny's signature due to Arsene's less-than-confident reply. If we can retain Franny then it's best for us.

Come on Franny, you're only 19. Don't rush off like Pennant or Bentley; we all know how both of them ended up.

Snow storm at the Grove... Looks beautiful, but seriously snow sucks. Freezing temperatures, slippery and muddy when it melts, postpone Arsenal matches... snow truly sucks.

Wenger ''fears the worst'' over Merida deal

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Merida's future has not been decided

it turns out that merida is not going Atletico Madrid but he still hasn't commit his future to Arsenal for whatever reason it remains to be seen. Regarding Arsenal-Bolton match called off, i do think it's a good move seeing that players have enough rest to take on Everton this weekend and besides we do have 8 players out injured at the moment so this could be a good blessing. But there is a disadvantage to us in the future as our matches will pile up and result in our players playing a lot of matches in a month. I really hope by that time it happens, all our players are fit and ready to go. thumbup.gif Now let's go to everton and get that win! rclxms.gif

That's what I felt as well, it's all agent talk. They'll say whatever they want to whoever they are talking to. Even Arsene is unsure why Fran is still stalling on the contract despite reportedly accepting the terms. It's such a waste of talent, but it's very hard for Franny to push beyond Fabs, Rambo, Diaby; or the flanks where there's Nasri, Jack, and Theo. Not forgetting the competition posed by Lansbury and JET once they return from loan.

Again, the sad case is that we simply cannot retain that many youngsters and someone just has to go at some point. Lansbury signed a deal recently but like Franny it's an uphill struggle for him. Same with Nacer who is simply hanging in no man's land - too good for the reserves, not first team material yet.

judging from AW's comments,it seems he's thinking of only buying a striker, no mention of a defensive player whatsoever. Then this means Senderos has a future at Arsenal until he gets sold! sweat.gif

i thought Nacer out for the season with injury? no meh?

anyway, i think Merida should stay on and fight for his place. He should learn more from the likes of Cesc, Rosicky, Nasri and Arshavin. He can even learn a lot from Song. biggrin.gif I don't think there's any better team mates except for Barcelona. smile.gif

Yep. In 1998 when we won the title, we were at least 10-12 pts behind Man U, but we had at least 3 games in hand and that made the difference.

This would mean that the chances of winning the title rests entirely in our own hands. This is where the lads need to be mentally tough and maintain consistency throughout.

Don't forget the postponement would result in a tighter fixture for us towards the end of the season. There's no real advantage nowadays if you ask me. I read somewhere that the EPL will finish earlier than they normally do, to give more rest to the England players before World Cup.

Yes but we can also play Bolton later when they've got new manager syndrome as well as with FA Cup and Champions League games to juggle at the same time.

The match postponement is an opportunity missed to get a perfectly winnable game out of the way in my book.

The postponement has its own pros and cons. Since we can't control mother nature, that's it. Better to focus on next fixture.

to me it's better to postpone. we're hit with injuries and you guys saw what happened to fulham rite? Now they gonna be without Zamora, who is the form of his life, and Hangeland because of injury while playing in the snow storm.

imagine had we play yesterday, and bolton comes out physical as they always have, u think we can avoid injury maa? huhuhu... what if we lose AA... denilson.... or worse Gallas and Vermy... huhuh

well...the match has been postponed so let's just focus on the everton match now....it is another tough match as everton are really in a bad form and would fight all the way in every match since they really need the points not to get entangled in a relegation fight...hoping our gunners to treat them with caution and not thinking it's going to be another whooping of 6-1 like the 1st game at goodison....latest news is our legendary captain patrick vieira is having his medical at Man City right now....huhuhu...gonna be very weird seeing him in Man City shirt....damn.... blink.gif

Is sad to see Vieira gonna wear Man City jersey, but life goes on. They have to fight for them self.I think Mancini will pursue Henry next. By that time, really heart break we played against them

Why Arsene wants to swap his talisman?

Arsenal may swap Fabregas for Higuain: report

MADRID (AFP) – Arsenal may be ready to sell Cesc Fabregas to Real Madrid -- if they get Argentine star Gonzalo Higuain in return, a Spanish sports newspaper said Thursday.
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger "is only willing to part with his captain if Real includes Gonzalo Higuain in the deal," said Marca, which did not indicate its sources.
It said Real would prefer to offer Dutch midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart to the London club, and would only release Higuain for 35 million euros, 10 million less than they would pay the Gunners for Fabregas, Marca said.
But competition for the 22-year-old Spanish international from bitter rivals Barcelona may force their hand, it said.
In comments on the UEFA website, Higuain said he would like to end his career at Real Madrid, "the team and the city are my second home, and it would be fantastic."
Fabregas, Arsenal's top scorer with 12 goals, is under contract with the Gunners until 2014 but his future has been the subject of much speculation this season.
The player himself last month played down talk of a move back to his native Spain, saying that his future lies in the English Premier League.
Fabregas began his career with Barcelona but was signed by Arsenal in September 2003.
The following month he became Arsenal's youngest ever player in any competition when he appeared in a League Cup tie against Rotherham aged just 16 years and 177 days.

laugh.gif alright then african players is out of the equation.

anyways like we all believe...we dont see fabregas leaving this transfer window
im quite positive on that
but if the impossible happens
im afraid there will be a turning point to our season. turn for the bad
he who is our captain, a leader and our talisman
he is so much more then playing well himself,he makes other players plays even better.
the backbone of our squad is held strong by him,if he leave poof gone case.

i really think all hell will break loose at Arsenal if he leaves
not unless wenger has found a suitable replacement for faby shoes
he will be a gunner for at least another season or more.

As much as I hate to say it, Cesc will definitely be back in Spain within 2 seasons. Perhaps after EURO 2012?

Hopefully by then, Ramsey turns into a smashing player and tbh, I feel he's already on his way.

about Cesc... i think he'll see out his contract til 2014. What we have to worry is that ARSENE have yet to discuss terms with Arsenal for extension of his current contract!!!

priority would be Gallas... next would be AW!

i'm serie a follower and have watch zarate in action (he oso score a spectacular one against my beloved juve lol doh.gif tongue.gif).
All i had to say dat he is different type of forward compared to Nicky... He's more technical & skillful forward.
He's more like RVP & Dudu though. And if AW wanna get him, i'd say it a good move for us smile.gif

It's hard to say whether Fabs will leave after he fulfills his current contract. The most comforting thing for us at the moment is that Fabs seems genuinely committed to the club (and Arsene) and has always come out first to refute any nonsensical claims by the Spanish media.

I believe when Arsene decides it's time to let Fabs go, it will be when:
(1) Fabs's reputation has surpassed the club and impeding/intimidating other players (like Titi)
(2) Fabs is in decline (?injury or age)
(3) A replacement is ready to step into le Capi's shoes (be it someone new or promoted from the rest of the squad)

Price shouldn't be a main factor in letting Fabs go. After all, other teams did offer near astronomical prices for Paddy and later Titi but they all got rejected. Both of them left for fees that are significantly less than previous offers when Arsene decides it's time to let go.

All sorts of random names popping up it seems. The news are from the player's camp and if they know anything about transferring to Arsenal they should have shut the hell up. Making stuff public to garner more bids for jacking up the player's price will only deter Arsene.

On paper Zarate seem decent but not particularly impressive. If Arsene is unwilling to pay the reported 12-15M for Chamakh who has similar stats albeit in an arguably less competitive league, then he's very unlikely to fork out that amount of money for an unproven Zarate.

For now, it all seems like player-whoring by the agents more than anything else.

JET's very likely to extend his loan deal at Blackpool... Like Henri it'll do him much good with the additional playing time.

Since Zarate is more of a RVP or Dudu, then all the more reason not to get him. My thoughts is, Eduardo and Vela are the basically the same type of player. Add another one to that and I really don't know how to fit the first team. What we are currently lacking of is someone with a bit of physical presence like what RVP gave us before the injury. Unfortunately his ready made replacement in Bendtner is also out during the same period. If Bendtner returns next week as expected, then he will probably be the one to lead the attack. Getting a new player that can provide the same attribute would be much better.

That being said, I'm on the side of Wenger not buying anyone during this transfer window. We don't really need a a striker. I say, if fit, let's give Nicky a chance and let him play out the season and see how it goes. If he breaks, then his future may not lie at Arsenal afterall. But if he makes it, he will be a powerhouse of a striker. If Wenger intends to get someone, then I seriously hope it's for a central defender. Unless Senderos is still within his thoughts, let's find some back-up to Gallas and Vermaelen, both of which have played in every league and European matches. Wouldn't want them to get burnt out before the season ends.

huhu...i do think Zarate is better than Bendtner in terms of goalscoring record and his finishing...Zarate likes to dribble and shoot from outside the box.....but Zarate playing style is more towards RVP n Dudu and he's not a target man when clearly Arsenal need one...but to spend 40 million on Zarate is a big no-no as I don't think he's worth that much!if under 10 million then maybe it's a good deal....so for me if indeed AW wants to spend more than 30 million on a forward....then no need to look further than this guy!!

As much as I love Vieira, I don't see his return to the Premier League as one that can strengthen the opposition side. His powers have wane somewhat since his departure from Arsenal. While I was down in the dumps seeing him leave Arsenal, you have to admit that Wenger's timing in selling Vieira is spot on. I doubt he has the legs to go from box to box anymore, though he might still be able to put in the crunching tackles occasionally.

I can't place any opinion on Zarate as I haven't seen him play, but Robin is a unique player that fits in perfectly with our current style and it would be hard for any player to emulate. Arsene has mentioned that it all depends on Nik's groin although le Boss's words to the media are hardly trustworthy. If we really are playing hardball with Bordeaux for a free Chamakh this coming summer, then it's more unlikely that we're going to buy a striker this January.

On the point of Nik, I believe the talks of whether he will make it or not is premature. He's another player that has been with us for so long that people tend to forget his tender age. I admit that I'm one of his biggest fans hence I might sound biased, but the sky's the limit for Nik. From a lanky tall battering ram in his early days, he has gradually developed other aspects such as passing and playmaking. He has the physique and power of Adebayor, the flicks of Robin, and most importantly his Flaminiesque determination and work rate. Of course, there's much for him to improve especially his touch and passing but these will come as he gets more games.

The media often portrays him as an arrogant brat but I feel that it is only because he is confident and straight forward like Arshavin. He has always stated his desire to stay and fight for his place and Arsene truly does entrust him with opportunities (although preferring him on the RW this season rather than upfront). It's highly unlikely that Arsene will sell Nik or bring someone in to impede his progress, and if Nik himself chooses to leave it'll only be another case of Bentleyitis.

Dzeko Dzeko Dzeko... everybody is going gaga over him. There's just too many teams going for him and Wolfsburg has the luxury of playing hardball. Once this turns into a bidding war we're going to be the first one out. My gut feeling says this is another case of Benzema - all talk and no show, then finally someone offers a stupidly high price and gets him.

and about 40m price tag for zarate...i too think dat was overpriced for someone who doesn't had a single national team(he did features for u-20) cap
on his name(oso he's quite off form dis season..maybe due to lazio internal prob). But dzeko really the one we're seeking rite now,

Bro SG and Aeroberg....i do agree that Nik will be a great player in the future....i do fancy him being our main striker for years to come as I have been following him since he burst onto the scene when he was loaned out to Birmingham a few years back.....he definitely has all the necessary qualities to become an awesome striker in the future...he just need to get a run of games and goals too...but he does offer other aspects of the games like Bro SG mentioned....about Dzeko i always hope that he would come to us but now in football world money talks so as Bro SG pointed out....Arsenal will be the first one to bow out of the bidding race..... sad.gif

and about 40m price tag for zarate...i too think dat was overpriced for someone who doesn't had a single national team(he did features for u-20) cap
on his name(oso he's quite off form dis season..maybe due to lazio internal prob). But dzeko really the one we're seeking rite now,
but unfortunately he's cup tied. sad.gif
*
no bro....robert enke is more taller and judging from the side of the gk's face and his body frame....im pretty sure it's not him....if AW can find another type of player like Dzeko i would not mind seeing that AW's skills in spotting unknown players and turning them into great players is the best in the world!!!!in AW i trust!!

Gazidis: We won't spend big
SOS

Generally, I like what I'm hearing. And instead of a new immediate first teamer, most likely we'll see a backup or two coming in before the window closes. I find not going crazy with expenditure is very respectable.

31M on a single player? We're not getting him. And it'd be foolish to exchange our playmaker, our heartbeat for yet another striker which we already have in abundance. Spanish tabloids can just GTFO.

The video shows nothing special about him apart from his monster height. Cheap, unknown, African with power and pace... sounds like someone that Arsene would like.

Havard Nordveit. Long way to go for the boy... he's in the loaning phase of our youngsters, and then he'll slowly feature in the CC before making the grade onto our bench as with our previous kids.

The latest news is about a possible return for Sol. Personally I think the more important issue is to nail down Willy's contract extension, but Sol would be a good backup for CB since Sendy is frozen out. That is provided that Sol doesn't suffer from another brain freeze and walks out on yet another club like he did with us and Notts County.

Lacina Traore? Never heard of him but his height and pace is enough to attract Wenger. Remember, Adebayor was a nobody before joining Arsenal and we made him what he is today. So it would be nice to have a tall player in our miniature sized team.

But, any player that is publicly linked with us never arrived. Most of the time, we'd quietly snap up players. I think its a tactic by agents of these players to publicly declare Arsenal is interested in so and so player and the price would automatically shoot up.

And whats with these price tag of 36 million pound? Historically, we've never purchased such mega priced players. I doubt we'd ever splashed this amount of money on a player anytime soon and especially this transfer window. We'd prolly get someone not very famous.

maybe that sums it up, what we need = backup striker
a decent one, and preferably not cup tied
what ivan gazidis mentioned we wont spend big = my guess is that we will invest say around at most 10-15mill on this transfer
and knowing AW, this african traore guy is a potential candidate.

Two of tomorrow's games are already postponed, including the game at Craven Cottage.

Yahoo weather says there's a 60% chance of snow at the Emirates tomorrow.

I don't know how far away is the Cottage to Ashburton Grove, but all these don't sound good at all. Need to watch my gunners play!

Good news is Wenger condemns the postponements as they kinda break our stride. I bet he's eager to get tomorrow's game going.

And in the same article, he also said that RvP is like 2 weeks away from returning.

just saw the quote from AW himself stating he predicts Bentdner would be back in just 2 weeks
im not sure if by that he means returning fully fit with match fitness..i also not sure lol confused between fully fit and match fitness

cross fingers* if by chance our match postponed tommorow...it would simply means 2 weeks is just 1 week from bentdner return..if thats the case
most likely we wont sign a backup striker. unsure.gif

Looks like Nik is back in training. We should be able to handle the games with our current strike force until late Jan where the crunchers come in, so Nik will have 3 weeks to get himself fit and ready.
QUOTE
'Nicklas is doing well in training, had a good session today, and the news is quite good. He'll join in with the first-team next week. His fitness is not too bad, actually, because he has worked hard. He can do the job [as a central striker], even if he's a different type of player to Van Persie. But it gives me a few options in there.'

http://www.arsenal.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=517327]

And with Arsene ruling out Chamakh in Jan as expected, we're probably not going to sign someone up front. It's all good, as we have other areas eg defensive backup which require more attention. We can afford to wait for Chamakh until summer, and if he does come for free then we can show Bordeaux who's boss.
QUOTE
Wenger believes that the striker's options are still open but he is not pursuing Chamakh at the moment.

"Chamakh is still available for the summer," said the Arsenal manager.

"We have not met his agent and not spoken about it.

"He is a player we have an interest in, but we are focused on short term at the moment."

Well there's good and bad about the match postponement. Good side is, we won't be missing those injured players and we have 1 less match to negotiate without them.

Bad point is, we'd have a fixture congestion somewhere towards the end of the season. At the same time, the adhoc 'winter break' might make us lose of momentum a little, just as we were picking up some good results.
