i know that many (talking to arsenal buddies, blogs, LYN forum) are beginning to become very optimistic about second place and some even about being able to wrest the top spot as well....

for me, i'll still be taking it one match at a time. i'll be quietly hopeful, but i don't wanna get ahead of myself and especially the team... heheh...

so even in the transfer saga... let's wait and see what happens... if arshavin comes and there's still time in the market, let's hope wenger will buy someone else which can help address our defensive frailties.

by the way, i don't read mandarin, but it would seem like the background wallpaper for LYN has the mandarin word upside down... or am i just mistaken?

A draw for Liverpool is a good news for us, but with ManU have 1 game in hand, makes me wanna curse them more...

Don't worry City will come to the rescue.

Last season we took maximum points from MU but what the heck nobody took advantage.

This time we will take 3 points and CR9 and Gerard (make them an offer they can't refuse). We have the money to take the honey. No?


If not sell us Ade then.


We got one stuperstar Bellimey already bungkus who is not in my fantasy Football team. Go figger.

I admire the Sheikhs' dough, but I admire your optimism more.

Looking good! Arshavin On His Way

Lets await the good news in 48 hours then.

1 month ago,it felt so far
its like a sprinting race
we could barely see our competitor's arse

1 month after,now we can see chelsea,liverpool and perhaps MU buntut already
we must continue to bag more pts,until we are able to tag a high 5 on them

as for Arshavin,the chances are that he is going to be a Gunner by this week
so lets set a role for Arshavin shall we~
where will he play?a supportive role(Central ATTKING MIDD) behind Ade N RvP?
im sure he will surely come in as a starting eleven
the question is,boot denilson or boot diaby out...or will he take over at the right wing and boot eboue out
what do you guys think?
no idea what will wenger do with him

personally,id prefer him to play central attking middfielder
support ade and rvp behind
as for who should he take the spot from
hehe,diaby >.<

i think boot diaby out , cause denilson still have some defensive qualities to cover the back four when arshavin join in the attack...

yes, the chinese character(s) is put (or hang) upside down purposely.

The character 福 means "good fortune"

Being upside down means that it will return back to you (or in mandarin, "good fortune has arrived")


zzz... I'm not good in explaining stuffs and I am not Chinese educated

Back to Arsenal, I agree with the articles shared by StarGhazzer. Rich clubs cannot forever buy worldclass players. And when things do not work out, it will turn into disaster - financially.

Arsenal is doing very well in its finance. Fans and board members could rest assure on that.

The only drawback is that we are losing out competing for glory.


Also, Bellamy's worth of 14M does not surprise me. What surprises me is why Bellamy? With no disrespect to the player and his fans, there are a lot better players out there for Man City to choose from.

This lead me thinking that Man City may not able to land good players and my wild guess is because its reputation.

I read the soccernet and found out that Kaka is not leaving too

Guess the best you can sign are "superstars" like Bellamy lol No offense but Bellamy is an above average player nearing a good one at best in my opinion and until you have a realistic shot at at least a Champions League spot I doubt any of the "real" superstars with ambitions would want to sign for your club regardless of how much money you throw at their faces.

For someone like bellamy to cost 14million, I bet Joey Barton will cost around 10m, no? And heck, add up few millions and there u go get one Nasri

Arshavin should be heading to arsenal very soon but this probably would change the formation of arsenal.

Arsenal is being very good at playing 4-3-3 position after bendtner sub in and proven to work lots of time.

I wonder what will be the usual starting position then?

Next formation 4-3-1-2?lol

Just realised i got warn for calling manu s**ms. It was playful banter really.

edited after realising i could get warn again. But no use ryanatwood qoute me already. Lol

u just called them s***s again...hahaha...i think u'll get a warning again...heehhe....btw...i hope arshavin will use no 6 4 his squad number...cuz it'll be cool seeing that number on the back of a playmaker....

That serves you right

The !Report button is really a powderful tool !

Use it wisely

OT:

Ryan, ur siggy....It seems like u put it wrongly...the font arial, size come out

...i know...but im too lazy to change it so i let it as it is.... ... to satisfy solstice needs...i've changed my siggy....

for me, who the other clubs (especially all the rumours that link almost every other star player to man city these days) want to buy are not as important to me as the ones that arsenal want to buy.

now, it's been blown all out of proportion about the transfer saga of one arshavin. now comes the question... will wenger buy another player?

my head seems to tell me no but my gut seems to tell me that wenger may just be trying to wrap up a deal under our noses.... and that's what's killing me... the not knowing... hahahah.. i sometimes hate the transfer window.. giving you hope and killing it all at the same time... =)

If AW manage to Sign Arshavin,I guess the line-up will be like this :




This is because Arshavin is more likely to play on the flanks as he can provide the penetrating run into the box.While Nasri can take the CAM with his passing and dribbling abilities.

What do you guys think with this line-up?

i don't think so...becoz we have toure, gallas, silves n jd...if wenger want to buy new one, why he bought silves in the first place? or ready to lose toure or gallas if wenger buys new CD.

yeah man...i know wat u feel...like when AW sign reyes n rosicky...tht was totally out of the blue...very happy at that moment cuz they were 2 good players at that time....i really hope AW can pull a double deal...plzz make my wish come true!!

i think that is the best line up that arsenal can offer bcoz of the available players that we have...hoping when eduardo is fit,he can come in n we can play a 4-3-3 formation in some of the games...
