Slightly Damp Shrew Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Sagna was a much different prospect to come in and play a season first choice than Gibbs at this point in his career. On the whole Arsenal fans are tired of replacing established, international, players for youngsters that need time to settle and find a rhythm. If we do sell Clichy, then we'll need to get a replacement in, or risk playing half of the season with Silvestre out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_b Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 An uknown player in the shape of Sagna. Baines.

Gibbs not ready yet, he is not that good defensively, hes like Clichy always tracks back, and his positional play is awful, all that will grow in time. Vermaelen we haven't got yet. None of them better than Clichy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_b Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'm not really sure how you can make that judgement on Vermaelen as I would put money on you have never seen him play outside of a Friendly match against us. And Baines was miles better than Clichy this season. Also has the bonus that he'd fill whatever limit on players that might be brought in in x years.

Josh are you caught in 2 minds here, you made a jugement saying Vermaelen can cover Clichy then you're saying whoever made their judgement on Veramaelen can't make one because they haven't seen him. What are you talking about.I agree that Baines is a good player I've always liked him but he's not good enough to replace Gael. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnellyrx Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 i have no idea how anyone can say baines is not good enough to replace clichy? when firstly baines has showed nothing to say he couldn't be good enough for arsenal, except a decent season. its like when people who are annoying say djourou is better than someone like gary cahill, just because djourou plays for arsenal.

AJW Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 No, he's saying that YOUR judgement on him wouldn't be accurate as he doubts you have ever seen him play outside of our friendly against him back in 2007. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_b Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Baines is more than good enough, been nearly twice as good as Clichy this season. I'm not in two minds at all. I have said that I would accept if Vermaelen was used to play LB if we sold Clichy and used the money to buy a top quality Central midfielder. I said that you can't make a judgement of whether he's good enough or not as you haven't seen him.

Dale Gribble Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The rumors about Sakho are really building momentum, anyone have any opinions? If he has as much potential as what is being banded about I think he'd be a great signing. Vermaelen to slot straight into the first team with Sakho as another young backup and future star. Should see our center back position filled for quite some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Gribble Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Personally I'd prefer Zapata/Sakho, but it seems Vermaelen is practically a done thing.

Jimi Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I hope clichy doesnt go. For me, him and Sagna are the only two good parts of our defense right now. Sagna especially has had a good season considering who he's been in defense with. clichy hasnt been that shockingly bad, i see no reason why he can't bounce back to top form next season though, saying that, i would willingly take the £20 million if it were offered. Zapata would be awesome, we need a big strong central defender, to work alongside Djourou, Gallas, Toure, no need to get rid of any of them. More than anything though, we really need to get a strong central midfielder! Defense-wise, has anyone considered that Almunia is perhaps not vocal enough, not showing enough leadership at the back. While i think Almunia has had a great season in terms of shot-stopping, there is no doubt that our defense in general has been poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Gribble Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 You do often see Almunia shouting about in matches, it's probably something that will improve as time goes on. I don't want Clichy to go, he obviously has the talent to succeed and do very well for Arsenal, people are too quick to write him off. Sagna's a great right back, wouldn't ever replace him. This season it's just been a case of poor form from the defence really, there's the rift between Toure and Gallas and although Wenger claims it's no problem, I'm not so sure. A big leader at the back would be superb and perhaps would help glue the defence and get them working together as a team. We need someone who inspires confidence, not a cause for concern.

Jamos5000 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Dunno if this has been posted before or not ARSENAL ace Bacary Sagna admits he would be tempted by a move to Real Madrid. According to reports in his native France, Real are weighing up a £20million bid for the 26-year-old right-back. And Sagna, who joined the Gunners in July 2007, has refused to play down the rumours. He said: "I am surprised by this news but I wouldn't turn my back on it. "I fully intended to return to pre-season training with Arsenal but I'm going to see what happens." link Probably nonsense as most of these stories usually are, but there you go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
