Der er ikke hold i de rygter nej...

Mht. PL, så tror jeg godt at vi kan konkurrere... Vi har spillet godt i venskabskampene, og Henry hæmmede til tider holdet mere end han støttede det, fordi de unge var så afhængige af ham. Jeg er sikker på at vi er en konkurrent til mesterskabet, og har endda smidt 100kr på at vi vinder PL, det er jo gode odds man får 10.00

Stop it, don't jinx it!

5 Things We Learnt From The Emirates Cup
August 1st, 2007

1) Aleksandr Hleb is not a winger. He was never one at Stuttgart, and he's never really looked like one at Arsenal. When he first arrived at the club, he was filling in for Pires and Ljungberg, which meant having the freedom to roam around the pitch almost wherever he wished. However, since the advent of Emmanuel Eboue at full-back, Hleb's role has become more restricted. He has served primarily as a foil to the Ivorian, combining with Cesc to play the full-back in behind the defence. And with that, disillusionment has caused his work ethic and combative qualities to decline.

The Emirates Cup was the first time I can remember Arsene fielding Hleb in his preferred position, just off the striker. And the Belarussian revelled in it. Playing in the centre gave him room to turn and run at defenders, when he suddenly looked incredibly dangerous. He also showed a greater determination to get into the box, and hell, even scored a goal. I get the feeling that with Hleb, goals are like Pringles. Or Heroin. Once he's had a bit of them, he'll want more.

Against Inter, the cameras failed to pick up one interesting moment. When Bendtner replaced Gibbs, Hleb was moved out to the left-wing. Gutted, Hleb looked to the skies before imploring Arsene, "Why?" He doesn't like it out there, and that almost certainly means he'll never do well at it.

Of course, the biggest problem for Hleb is that we tend to play a 4-4-2, with no room for his linking role between midfield and attack. It's more likely to be in tricky away fixtures or Champions League games when his abilities could come to the fore - both Rosicky and Hleb could revel in a free role behind a lone attacker. As for seeing Hleb on the right of midfield, that idea could be put to bed by...

2) Emmanuel Eboue and Bacary Sagna are a potentially excellent partnership. It seems to me that Arsene has it in his mind to begin the season with these two on the right flank, and with their performance against Inter Milan, who can blame him? Sagna is strong in the tackle and powerful in the air, whilst Eboue can dribble, cross, and even shoot. What's more, the two are both comfortable in each other's position, and against Inter they often swapped and overlapped, causing Inter no end of trouble.

3) Niklas Bendtner is very good in the air. Yes, his movement is a little lazy and he's not got great acceleration, but he is clearly at his best when a ball is launched in towards him. Of course, this doesn't really fit in with our style of play, but it could certainly be a useful option in the last twenty minutes of games. He can't be worse than Baptista, can he?

4) We need wide players. The fact we began the PSG game with Flamini and Diaby on the wings is almost embarassing. It's not like we'd been decimated with injuries - only Rosicky and Walcott were absent. We also fielded Gael Clichy, Armand Traore and Kieran Gibbs on the flanks. We're badly in need of reinforcements there, and the Emirates Cup might've made that more clear to Arsene than ever.

5) Robin van Persie is a genius.

Bendtner er nogle gange lidt Henry'sk i sine bevægelser IMO

Ja det kan der være noget om

Som de fleste er bekendt med, slog vi Lazio i går i Amsterdam Tournament med 2-1 ... Bendtner kom endda på tavlen, og highlights fra kampen kan ses her: http://www.youtube.com/v/IP-eg6S4ycg

Og ej at forglemme:

Vi scorede på et hjørnespark!!! DUDU på hovedet!!

Sparta Prag hedder det i 3. kval. runde af ChL. Det er fint nok, dem plejer vi at have styr på.

Ja, Champions League er vi vidst med I. Det bliver sgu skønt!

Så var det i går aftes tid til den sidste friendly, som var den afsluttende kamp i Amsterdam Cup, mod Ajax. Kampen blev vundet 1-0, på mål af Van P, 3 minutter før tid.

Gilberto Silva fra Arsenal til Juventus
Kilde: Daily Mirror
Sandsynlighed: Middel
Note: Juventus har førhen haft held med at lokke midtbanespillere væk fra ’Gunners’, og planlægger nu at gøre det samme med brasilianeren. Ca. 44 mio. kr. er Juve villige til at betale.

HAHAHAHHA! Ja, vi sælger ham da til Juve for 44 mio. kr., når vi lige har afslået et bud på £10M fra Valencia...

Jeps, det er da det igør. Bliver spændende at se om Wenger vil spille jeres unge Denilson ind som direkte afløser for Gilberto. For £10 mio eller mere er jo ikke små penge

[g00n]

Pointen er, at når vi ikke sælger ham for £10M til Valencia, så sælger vi ham nok heller ikke for 44M kr til Juventus.

Desuden er Diaby foran Denilson in the pecking order.

[freddiem]

Enig med g00n, desuden hvem skal så afløse og spille den rolle som Gilberto. Flamini og Denilson er endnu ikke stabile eller gode nok, Så synes det lyder meget usandsynligt. Det rygtes desuden at vi har budt £5M for Lasanna Diarra fra Chelsea, hvad skal vi bruge ham til?

[g00n]

Der er absolut ingen grund til at købe Diarra, da den centrale midtbane nok er den plads hvor vi har allermindst brug for nye spillere.

Gilberto ny anfører
