well we lost a power forward and a rock in midfield simply the arsenal way. ( cesc,nasri,rvp,song,cliche) Replacements not that good except for cazorla.

I don't see anyone replacing what RVP used to do for Arsenal. Not just score, but score when it mattered most. Flash back to how we concluded last season that got us to 3rd place. Gervinho is on/off and unpredictable. I think we should allow Giroud to start few games in a row to gather his confidence and maybe sub him with Gervinho. Giroud is a great threat in the air. Also, we need Gibbs back soon if Arsenal wants to see itself going anywhere at all.

i totally agree.. arshavin is an amazing player i dont get why he doesnt play in league matches regularly.. also ramsey is a good player but hes too careless right now. i just feel like arsenal now dont even wanna try to get a win.. the last two league games theyve been dreadful except for a couple of them

I actually recon he will stay there. I mean seriously, why would Barcelona want him back? They have Tello and Delofeu as upcoming talents and those two cost less than one Affelay. I guess after this season he will be staying at Schalke for about 10million, given that Huntelaar actually signs a new contract at Schalke.

Would probably be a smart move. Some money for us to invest in, erm, a goal keeper or a defender, and regular starts for a good player in a position where we have too many for him to actually get more than the occasional 75th-minute appearance.

I like Ibra for Barca. It's good to have variety in the squad and not just players that learn how to play one way. Tello and Cuenca are exact replicas, and Delofeu has a few years before getting into the first team.

Alas, Ibrahim is doing better playing full matches instead of last 15 min.
