Cesc Fabregas the Phenom Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 You never know Shrew, I'd be happy with either of them. But you just know, we'll get neither. Unless Hleb and Ade really do leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratinho Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Nasri probably seen as the Hleb replacement now. If Ade stays, that could very well be the spending. Balanced books too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick OGS20 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Originally posted by SlowlyDownward:Wow, this place is a ghost town. Still, no nelly \o/ Arshaving please. Awesome player. Him, Nasri, Cesc behind RvP and Ade would be brilliant. He says he wants to go to Barca, but they need to offload players before they buy, and Arshavin's price tag seems a bit steep for us too. I see Santa Cruz being bandied about as well. Closet Rovers fan Rats will know the lowdown, but isn't he a wee bit mediocre? As of now, players I would like based on Euro 2008 form are Arshavin, Podolski, Villa, Oojer, half of Russia. Santa Cruz 'a bit mediocre' but you want Ooijer? Interesting. Buying players on the basis of European Championships form not always the best idea btw. Poborsky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedmanJB Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 A few questions I have been pondering... Assuming Vela proves himself as Arsenal standard in the coming season, would you rather see him or Van Persie upfront (with the other having the LW position)? Who will get more playing time...Walcott or Ramsey? I'm leaning towards the former as he is a bit older and has been with Arsenal a while. Finally...what is the general opinion of Hleb? I think most fans are now getting a negative approach with all the speculation, but I still see him as one of Arsenal's top players. On his day he can rip defenses apart.

SlowlyDownward Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Nick, I did say Rats had the lowdown which means I haven't seen much of Santa Cruz, and I just said based on the Euros following up that he (Ooijer) would be good back-up. He played an outstanding Euros and is used to the PL. It makes perfect sense if you bother reading a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick OGS20 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I read it all ta. He had a decent Euros at best. Being 'used' to the PL is very different to being good enough, and quite why you'd want to bring in someone that old as backup ahead of Senderos/Song/Djourou is beyond me, but each to their own.

arseneknows Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 So Nasri, Rosicky, Walcott, Vela and Hleb, if he stays which isn't that unlikely. That does look pretty strong on the flanks with enough depth for a long season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnellyrx Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 ha. i forgot hleb is leaving. so its basically a one in one out policy? just seems like treading water to me, replacing a good proven premier league player with an unknown. if i were an arsenal fan i would be slightly annoyed if we dont sign many others by september 1st.

josh_b Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Similar reason to Henry, probably next season would be the last chance of a move to a massive team like Barca or Inter, and his contract is up next year iirc so if he won't renew then we might as well cash in.
