Honestly, as much as I appreciate the good work that Gallas did for us during his time, he was never a player who garnered much affection. Personally I believe that he has a winner's mentality but is simply too headstrong and aggressive to others hence it's better for the team spirit when he leaves.

Signing for T'ham should not increase the animosity as he was never truly considered as an Arsenal hero/legend to begin with, unlike Sol.

Agree with the Shay Given part. However any keeper that doesn't have crossophobia like Manny or Luk will be welcomed.

However, can't agree with the 'steady, commanding' traits of Schwarzer as clearly these aren't his best traits ! We've always managed to knock a few past him whenever we played Boro in the past (esp Titi and friends), and he also have made a couple of high profile errors in recent games (end of last season prior to UEFA final, world cup...). I don't see any reason paying 4M or more that Fulham is asking for; it should be a take it or leave it offer.

at Villa's heavy defeat... but not that I care. One less rival is a good thing.

After thrashing Blackpool, here comes a good news

Click yourself !!!

Good to have Song back. Although against Blackpool @ home, but his presence does help our own half. With Fabregas fully fit and Walcott maintain his form, I think we should be able to play against any teams.

BTW, our 1st choice full backs still need to work hard on their crossings.
Superb crossings = Chamakh will do the rest

yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

nice

now is time for GK pl0x

are we using jabulani ??

nice. fantastic addition.

Warm Welcome to Sebastien Squillaci !!!

Its the Nike T90 TRACER ball. Thank God for that!

really a welcome addition to the team!! can't wait for the official news!!!

Great to know that Squillaci is on his way to Arsenal Guess what, we are getting another player with "challenging" names - it's time to memorize how their names are spelled

Thanks for pointing out that EPL is pro-Nike. It's always the same, UK is one of the EURO members that do their stuffs their own ways.

nah... names are ok what..

we got Sagna.. Koci.. Laci... Vermi... Clichy.

ahahahahahahha

wow. is it so easy to score 6 goals now? just two games into the season and we have 3 teams scoring 6 goals per game.

hooray for the new addition!!!!!!

lol a few of the name got synonyms of "Chi"...

offtopic,

i rate Gareth Bale very highly..he is a Welsh player...used to be Rambo's teammate....he shud hv followed Ramsey 2 Arsenal

I prefer calling him as the Squid

An experienced CB addition to our back 4 t , kudos . Finally the deal went through .

he's 30 right?

Finally we have an out and out, smack the ball into row Z, face only a mother could love kinda defender. On paper he should be a good partner for Vermaelen and hopefully can help us out on set pieces.

On another note, the Fulham vs Man U game was awesome to watch last night. As much as I have a distaste for Mark Hughes, I like the small club, never-say-die attitude of the players and fans.

Zonalmarking.net has an interesting observation about Man Utd. With Chamakh in our ranks and (hopefully) improved wing play from Walcott, we could apply similar tactics with perhaps better results.
