Kolo Toure To Man City! What Now For The Gunners?
Yamsy (Liverpool) 2 years ago
Kolo Toure has completed his move to Manchester City for 14million!

Link: www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premier...
Now, I remember Wenger's job was to strengthen their defence, instead of weakening it! I feel that Arsenal will regret this move! This is a catastrophe!
So who's Wenger gonna' buy now? Will he buy a replacement?What's your reaction to this? And what do you think will happen to Arsenal after this?

I think he wil try to get huntellar and mexes as replacements. Toure and ade are very inconsistent and man city will see that this season well at least the have santa cruz so he can always be replaced
Eric (Manchester United) 2 years ago
They need no replacements up front. They'll do just fine in attack, but they seriously need to buy a high profile, strong defender to bolster what has now been weakened, an already weak defence
ManUK (Manchester United) 2 years ago
Yea they do but he'll probably go out and buy a 16 teen year old and say he's the next John Terry
Yamsy (Liverpool) 2 years ago
Lmao, ManUK, so true.... !

I am so confused.... Unless he's got something up his sleeve.... I was under the impression we wanted to buy defence, not sell it!

Toure was one of our more consistent defenders this year IMO, so I really don't know what your talking about Kindgsickhead. Also, we don't need Huntellar unless we sell off one of our strikers, which is highly unlikely. Now Mexes, I can agree with that. We now have an absolute desperate need for a center back
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 2 years ago
Mexes is too mistake prone and will be way out of our price range although Roma are going into financial problems but he would be a signing. I don't know that many centerbacks out there available to us for a reasonable fee besides maybe Hangeland. I agree with you that we don't need Huntelaar but wouldn't mind him as a luxury signing after we sign a quality central midfielder to partner Cesc that is not Vieira and a quality CB
Hill (Arsenal) 2 years ago
Well, like I said, we are a bit desperate and he's a decent filler. But as you said, we shouldn't splurge on a guy who will only be decent. We need that CM and CB. Need need need!

I've also heard it that Eboue is most likely off to Fiorentina, weakening the already weakened defence. Eboue may or may not have been a good player during his time at the Emirates, but surely this is too much selling on Arsene's part?

I'm seriously concerned about whether or not Arsenal have a plan in play as their players and staff constantly claim to the media

Arsenal to win the prem league!
Elucari (Liverpool) 2 years ago
Hahaha, that made me laugh, but I am getting sick of clubs like Real and Man City just buying up everything, but what can you do...
Santillanavila 2 years ago
I think wenger will be thick headed and not buy any players they desperately need. Jk
He has to buy players too make arsenal complete but I think that will happen near the end of the transfer window when prices go down
Yamsy (Liverpool) 2 years ago
I don't know what's gottin into Wenger.... I just hope he's already planned a replacement.... !
Because now, Arsenals defences are extremely weak....
Gunner fans, you betta start praying....
Ragarsha (Liverpool) 2 years ago
AW has 40m at his disposal he can buy one world class defender. And there is no replacement upfront but I guess AW should leave his Young Guns policy and buy and experienced Def.
Arsenal Fans should have faith in AW

Arsenal gonna' be like leeds utd
Hill (Arsenal) 2 years ago
How? I though Leeds spent a lot of money.... We're selling lots of players and keeping the money.... Haha
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 2 years ago
Unless he buys some replacements, we are in serious danger of dropping out of the UCL spots. What is he thinking (albeit he can still buy players) but who realistically can he get that is Toure quality?! Why is he selling to our direct rivals?! I'll give him this transfer window to sort the team out but this is my last straw with him. You might call me crazy, but if he doesn't sign anyone else of quality, albeit he is the greatest manager the club has ever had bar arguably Herbert Chapman, I want him out of Arsenal
Hill (Arsenal) 2 years ago
Agreed. After the sale, I immediately told my United pals that we could fall out of the top 4 this year. I would fully support removal of Wenger providing he doesn't make a serious move come the transfer window. Then again, this statement is more made out of utter disappointment of the sale of one of my favorite players....
Yamsy (Liverpool) 2 years ago
Wow.... Didn't think you guys would ever give up on Arsene...
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 2 years ago
4 going on 5 years without a trophy and constantly talking about the future, commitment, ambition, character without doing anything about it leads to things like this. Also constantly talking about buying quality players will kill the development of Denilson, Song, Diaby also takes its toll.

We have fallen off the map big time. I remember when we scared Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and the other European powers but now Fergie, Benitez, Ancelotti don't even mention us when talking about the big clubs even though they mention Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United
Yamsy (Liverpool) 2 years ago
I feel sorry for you guys.... At least u've won the Premiership.... We havent.... (sobsobsob....)
Yamsy (Liverpool) 2 years ago
Stop the Presses! Arsenal are going to make a shock bid to bring back Patrick Viera!
It's going to be a 1 year contract with lots of bonuses!

Here's another shocker.... Wenger says "Arsenal do not need new signings"....
Oh yes they do....

Arsenal are getting closer to grabbing Blaise Matuidi for 8mill, a 22 year old St. Etienne defensive midfielder....
And is holding talks with Viera....

Kingsickhead (Chelsea) 2 years ago
Not to be critical but viera would make a great right back. Do you ever see this guy tackling? Amaziing stuff. Even at this age
Yamsy (Liverpool) 2 years ago
Nahh.... I think he should stick with Defenseive mid, cause full backs have to run a whole lot, and you can't expect him to run that much at his age...
Wannabgunner (Arsenal) 2 years ago
Viera would be a horible buy
He is not the same player any more and will never be
He doesn't have his pace any more and he is definitly not as fit
Yes he might show flashes of what he once was.... But please AW
Get hangeland and a mid fielder.... I would even be ok if you didn't get a striker....
Althought picking up huuntleear would be nice
