It's a good point and it does need to be addressed. I am an old stick in the mud about tickets going to Arsenal fans and ideally, local Arsenal fans would be top of the list imo. Mind you I've been despondant about the attendance demographic situation for years. But I appreciate a utopia doesn't exist and exploitation is more likely.

Mikey G Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Okey lads, working on 2 players for each position, here's what we're looking like we could be next year: GK Lehmann and ? DR Lauren and Eboue DL Cole and Clichy DC Campbell Toure DC Senderos Cygan MR Hleb Ljungberg ML Reyes Pires MC Vieira Flamini MC Gilberto Fabregas ST Henry Bergkamp ST Baptista van Persie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
They call me Henry Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 i like it Plus don't forget some of these players can be moved around and play in different position. Toure can always play at right back. Reyes, upfront. And as far as i know, Hleb could play pretty much anywhere in midfield. I'd quite like seeing him along Vieira tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly Damp Shrew Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Is that just assuming that Van Persie isn't going to spend the next 20 years picking up soap? You could just switch him for Quincy though, so it's no big blow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Dear Mr Senegal, Please put a stop to the major underrating of Arsenal youth players in Football manager. Previous researchers have rated the first team ok but the youth players attributes PA/CA are a joke. Our yongsters are f*ckin ace and many would walk into any Championship and some Premiership sides already. Yours sincerely, Mr Vandyke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt if he moved to us he'd be a great success and improve vastly into a superb player. He isn't "great" yet, its incredibly subjective, if you mean great do you mean Shevchenko, Adriano standard? Barcelona and Real Madrid are other teams were have been rumoured to be interested so its not just us either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor_Rocastle Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I'm in the bandwagon group with Baptista, I have seen a few highlights of him banging a few in, but I have listened to about 50 people saying he is the best thing since sliced bread, so therefore I would be pleased if he joined.
