Some 1 jus save me the trouble of typing

Last week on Arsenal.com “New signing expected before Twente return leg”

When questioned about the midfield problems and if the fans could expect to see a new signing manager Arsène Wenger said “Will something be done ahead of the second leg? Certainly yes, but before Saturday, no.”

Surly he was not talking about the signing of Silvestre.? or was he?

Well the signing of Silvestre WAS before Saturdays and was by all accounts a unexpected bit of business.

What is worrying for most Arsenal fans is the amount of players have have left the club this summer. 10 players in total have been sold or loaned out. With only 3 signed but the club to date.

On the 10th May 2008 Wenger also said “I know who I want and the fans will be reassured by what they see in the next 2 to 3 weeks”…Was he talking about Nasri and Ramsey?

Towards the end of last season Wenger identified defense as a key area to strengthen. He said he wanted to sign a big player as we had some problems dealing with balls into the box. We were then linked with players like Zapata & Kompany but a few weeks ago Wenger then said “I have been interested in Vincent Kompany ever since he was 16, but I am not interested in him this year, “There is nobody I need for my team’s defensive department.

But then he signed Silvestre? A player for the defensive department? Wenger then comes out and says he allowed Senderos to leave the club because of “congested” He said ‘We have [Johan] Djourou, we have Kolo [Toure], we have Senderos, we have [Alex] Song, [William] Gallas and [Mikael] Silvestre now, who can play centre-back, so we have a congestion there, That’s why I have allowed Senderos to leave”

I really don’t understand? We have allowed 10 players to leave the club this summer. We have signed 3 including Bischoff who is out until god knows when.

We all almost allowed a whole team to leave..

——————Lehmann
Hoyte–Senderos———-Nordtveit–Traore
Gilbert— Flamini——-Gilberto— Hleb
——————–Barazite

All gone!!!

I don’t expect him to tell us everything that is going on at the club by why come out and tell the fans something and get there hopes up and not deliver.

I would like to ask…….
Why have we allowed so many players to leave this summer?

Why have we not replaced key players in key positions?

Why has wenger said 1 thing and done something totally different?

Why has the Arsenal board said time and time again that Wenger has money to spend but then the manager says we have to sell to balance the book?

Something stinks worst then a kipper, Whats going on at Arsenal?

Do we really expect to be challenging for honors this season with a squad as weak as this?

A very concerned Arsenal fan.

Stunning signing

When i saw the news, like many ppl, i tot the soccer webby were so desperate to generate headline, by end of the day, i read it from a very reliable source tat silvestre was signing at highbury house, i was stunned. hands up for wenger, e way he makes signing, is like a silent assassin, no rumor no link and out of e blue a link comes up and its official.

Same with eduardo and sagna, van persie etc...sudden assault.

i m still quite stun by tis signing and i keep askin myself if it is a gd signing.

1st i didnt see alot of silvestre in action, so i m nt able to assess his ability.
but base on the report and glimpse of epl highlight i tot he was quite fast and solid.
i believe he is a good defender, only becos of injury and e perfect partnership of fur-dinand and veeeedick tat he is left out.

costing onli 750k, i tot its really a bargain and i hope he could be up dere challenging for 1st team spot. i think he wld be better den senderos and johorbaru.
on top of tat he can cover left back. with his versatillity and gallas, practically every department from L.B to R.B is covered with jus tis signing. if he stay fit and nt like ro-sickly den i think tis is a good signing.
