Premier League Transfers Summer 2009

1. Its called support. You should try it At least in Kopite´s defence, he sounds like a TRUE fan and i have alot of respect for that.

2. Your second sentence is why at all home games the support is astonishingly poor. All the plastic fans, with those kind of comments, make things worse.

Btw......i go to Liverpool regularly, and besides possibly Plymouth, it´s the worst city i have been to. There is just nothing endearing about it.

no its called being unrealistic. i am a true fan and started supporting arsenal way before wenger was in charge.

Everyone knows Arsenal will be better next year, hard to see how they could do any worse...

So we was better this season compared to last season? 07/08 season we was challenging for the title. 08/09 we was struggling to finish 4th

At one point in the season it looked dodgy, but we finished 4th by 9 clear points. Is that struggling?

I would love to know your definition of ´support´.
Is watching on TV?
Wearing a shirt with Fabregas on the back?

Or ould that be, as i suspect, eating a prawn sandwich and calling for Wengers head every other week when we dont win. The answer to that is yes as that is what i have read in MANY of your posts and that definitely isn´t supporting a club.

Wenger has bought Arsenal success that they could never have dreamt of, and the plastic fans such as yourself, at the slightest hint of not winning a game 6-0, start calling for his head.

It´s a shame you cannot remember the dark days when we were happy with a top 10 finish, then maybe you would see what i mean by ´plastic fan´.


I am not a fan by a LONG shot of the Man Utd´s of this world and i hate what they are turning the game into.
BUT!
I admire their support for the management and team no matter what. That is what Arsenal miss (and Chelski) tbh...they have too many armchair fans.

Your point being? I could of told you would struggle compared to the year earlier, it was obvious after the players you lost.

Your joking aren't you? The same people who were questioning his position when Chelsea were in the ascendancy? All the real mancs support FC United or City anyway.

Indeed they do

Listen kido, i starting supporting arsenal when we was struggling to finish in the top 10. i have only seen arsenal win the cup winners cup before wenger came! o and before wenger came to arsenal, we already won countless trophies in the past. you talk as if we was a "nothing" Club when we was already a well established club.

Its got to a stage where wenger has made a team that cannot compete at the top level anymore and has been like that for the past few seasons. surely his time at arsenal coming to a end? how long will you wait until you yourself decided to call time for wenger? when we finish 5th or worse in the league? why wait till then to make a decision about wenger? if he is not fit for the job he should go right?

for me he has got to compete next season. i want to see arsenal going for the title to the very end if possible, not surrendering to the title before xmas this year

You do sound as if you support wenger more then the club which most arsenal fans do nowadays!

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Your point being? I could of told you would struggle compared to the year earlier, it was obvious after the players you lost.

point being is you said we will get stronger. by what evidence? what gives you the impression that we will?

i can tell you now, we will sell one or two of our key players and not replace them

What makes you so sure that you will weaken next year yet not strengthen? It's obvious Wenger will be in the transfer market looking to improve a number of key areas. Sure you might loose certain players, even perhaps Cesc 'I love Arsenal but please Barcelona come and sign me' Fibreglass or Didiers 'spit my dummy out I'm not playing anymore' half brother Adebayor. You'd be better off without that waster anyway.



The fact that one of the best managers of the modern era decided not to walk away from your club (with the lure of Real Madrid turning his head) after your fickle fans confronted him at the AGM says to me he is committed and will look to strengthen his squad next year, and I'd imagine another year of 'transition' won't adhere him further to the fans - so of course he will be looking at strengthening as best he can. And I'd imagine he will be looking for more established players this year (hence the Lescott/ Hangeland links.)


I bet he'd love to shove all the plastic fans words right up their backside (along with their flags).


Arsenal are a centre half and a holding midfielder away from being a much stronger side, anyone who watches 20 minutes of match of the day can see that.


Maybe Wenger should look to keep a hold of all his stars and ship out the Arsenal (home) support to raise cash, just a shame you can't transfer fans though eh.

...Then perhaps Eboue would have the last laugh.

Not at all.
I support the club.
If you have seen so much of Arsenal, then you would know what i mean about the poor home support and the true away support.

Also, to suggest, as you have done on numerous occassions, the Wenger should go, is ludicfous!
He turned Arsenal (along with David Dein), into one of the greates forces in European football during the late 90´s and early 2000´s. Being a massive fan though, that has obviously slipped your mind.

Sorry Josh but you are a typical fair weather fan as most of your posts on football prove.

BTW......the kiddo comment is an odd one. I have been going to the games for 25 years and been a season ticket holder for 14 years

[Blitzen]

Rubbish.
Wenger will hold onto all the better players this season and strengthen.
Do you know why?
Because the ´sing when you are winning fans´ such as yourself, have left him no alternative.

Perhaps we need a separate thread for who likes Arsenal the most? Anyway the big news of the day is the confirmed departure of Carlos Tevez from Man Utd. They are now down on around 45 goals from last season, and even if the likes of Rooney become more prominent they will surely have to spend big. Who is the man for the job? I think cheeky bids for pretty much anyone good are worth a go, like Torres, Van Persie, Villa or Eto'o. I doubt any of those would make a switch to Manchester but if you don't ask you don't get.

Any thoughts on the Man City situation? Mark Hughes is making some sensible moves for players with solid Premier League experience rather than just throwing cash at continental stars. Barry and Santa Cruz could have both been targets for bigger clubs, and with more on the way they could well over take Everton and Villa this season, in not more.
