Klimowicz Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 So he's not gay?Apparently, this is how the Moroccan army test a soldier's sexuality. He looks far too comfortable being kissed by beautiful women to be a hetero.Speaking of Chamakh, he along with Almunia, Squallaci, Fabianski, Ashavin, Vela, Denilson, Bendtner and Park are looking very likely to leave this summer, and The Ox is getting double his current wage. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/9170051/Arsenal-youngster-Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-to-benefit-as-Arsene-Wenger-plans-to-trim-Emirates-squad.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suggy33 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I've seen that Sao Paulo want Denilson on loan for another year without a clause to buy, but we want to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky9334 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 thats some clear out, cant say I'd be sad to see the back of all of them if we replace them with better players or some of the youngsters who are going well in the reserves/on loan, like Ryo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawee Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think the clear out is needed, but won't be easy at all. These players are all on high wages, and it'll be difficult for interested clubs to match the wages. It's amazing how many deadwood, average players, and chronic injury-prone players we carry on our team. There's so much room for improvement when you consider the people we need to replace. I'm hoping we won't be replacing the average with the inexperienced though. Podolski, if true, is the kind of signing we need to make if we're going to be competitive as a title-challenger and a top European team again. We just need it for other areas as well, such as strikers (to replace Park and/or Chamakh) and midfield to replace Benayoun. Our defenders is pretty good already, even though the jury is still out on Santos. Our defense still has a lot to improve on, in terms of discipline, organization, and being well-drilled in the arts of defending, or perhaps I've just been spoiled by the old Graham's defense. It's not just the back 4 either, the whole team has improved, but collectively, as a unit, the whole team can still improve much more in terms of defense. Not a fan of giving Ox the raise just yet though. We just signed him, on a long-term contract, and he hasn't done anything to deserve a raise yet has he?

Sparky9334 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 lets say all of those go, that would leave our squad as follows GK - Woj RB- Sagna, Jenkinson, (Coquelin) LB - Gibbs, Santos, (Miguel) (Vermaelen) CB - Kos, Vermaelen, Mertesaker, Djourou, Miguel, Bartley, (Song) DM - Song, Frimpong, Coquelin CM - Wilshere, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Diaby, Lansbury, (Ox) W - Theo, Gervinho, Ox, Ryo (Rosicky) (Lansbury) CF - RVP, Campbell () - not favoured position but can play there. Add Podolski to that if it gets confirmed soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suggy33 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Would add Diaby to the list of outs. Would love Lansbury to get a chance for us, I just don't think it's gonna happen. David Bentley v2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noob21 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well, the out list has been around for at least 2 years now. Will believe it when I see it happen.

jamez91 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 No quotes from Wenger today about team news. Hope Diaby is back in the squad this weekend, give him the chance to prove himself in the last few games of the season. I feel if he doesn't then we might as well get rid, as much as Wenger likes him we can't keep players who don't contribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 If he's in contention for a first-team place next season, it will mean we're in serious, serious trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamez91 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Diaby adds a different dimension to the squad and adds depth also. He is a decent back up and can play numerous roles along the centre of midfield. Injury worries aside (wish it was that easy) then he is a decent player. Never forgiven for that moment against Newcastle last year however he deserves a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawee Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think the likes of Song, Denilson, Diaby, Bendtner, and Vela all came through together. It was pretty obvious that of that lot, Diaby was the most naturally talented. His natural physique, combined with his wonderful technique made him such a great talent. It is such a shame that injury, and perhaps his lack of mental strength at times, prevented him from reaching his potential. I can understand Wenger not wanting to give up on him, but there must come a time. We can only afford 25 over-21 players in our squad, and we can't be carrying players like him.

Klimowicz Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yeah, CL. Didn't roundhouse kick the 4th official in the face or anything, just complained about the ref (again). So he'll miss half the group games if we finish 3rd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jisntdaman Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 UEFA haven't got more important things to look at of course. Maybe instead of fining Arsene they should actually review the refs performance which was awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klimowicz Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I did say "if" Razz just one group game if we're 4th... Wenger suspended two years in a row now for not doing much else than we see after every weekend of fixtures in the PL. I'm surprised Fergie hasn't been suspended by UEFA more often, surely he's said the word referee in a slightly negative context after a CL game?

chris79 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 As for Diaby, a few months ago same things were written all the time about Rosicky. And Diaby's much younger than him. But then again Rosicky was fit most of the time, just often not in his best form. It is hard to judge when you don't know the alternatives (fe how much is being spent on his wages and treatment and who we could get as a replacement) but I wouldn't write him off just yet. EDIT, from today's press conference: on Abou Diaby…There was a little pain in training yesterday so we will not expose him. It is nothing serious, we are just being cautious.

Klimowicz Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It crossed my mind that we (he) might have complained about the pitch after Barça did.

Well I remember his post match comments were very let's say honest. He openly said he thought Milan players were diving all the time because ref's poor decisions encouraged them to do it. But I don't know if this is what he has been charged for or was it something that happened during the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
