Wenger said that Toure is back along with Denilson. So I'd guess it'll be Djourou and Toure. Anyone know if Clichy is back?

A few games of Djourou and Toure together sounds pretty good to me. I haven't given up on Kolo at all, I just think he's suffered from playing alongside Gallas who is the same kind of player really.

Although, the way our defenders pick up injuries, I'd expect to See Song beside on of them next week.

Yeah i know what you mean. Wenger has said that the reason Toure hasn't been playing is because he wants JD there for his height and then its pretty much between Gallas and Toure for the other place. Hopefully toure can get a decent run and pick up his form without any more injuries

Galvasean · 08-01-2009 07:09PM

Djourou and Youre with only Nordveidt and Markey Song (whom I never rated highly as a defender) in reserve?
Might well be time to call back Senderos if we can't buy anyone.

Kirnsy · 09-01-2009 01:59AM

well milan have senderos figured out....trying as hard as they can to get agger or any other CB going so i cant see how he'd improve us massively.

would you guys prefer agger to senderos at arsenal?

Hopefully you mean beside Gallas and Silvestre on the bench...

Sure, but I'd also prefer John Terry or Vidic.
Can't see 'pool selling Agger now that he's returning to fitness.

Arsene gave an interview today where he said that a defensive midfielder was a 'priority' but no mention of names.
This at least looks promising especially if Arshavin can also be added.
Ideally I would have liked a CB also but I will be pretty happy at the end of January with Arshavin and a quality DM.

If Senderos was back at Arsenal, he'd be the exact same as he always was - no matter you think of our defence this season, Senderos would still be too slow for a lot of Premier League matches, still be decent in Europe, and still always need a run of 5+ games to find any form. No rose-tinted glasses please.

But as for Agger, I don't really think he'd be what we need either to be honest.

I'm happier with a DM myself over a CB. I'm happy enough for the moment with the Gallas/Toure/Djourou grouping. If we can hoosh Silvestre out the door in the summer and bring in another good CB, we're away.

Nice to see we're not going to pull a Liverpool on it and bring him back too early.

DenMan · 09-01-2009 02:17PM

The boss has come out earlier saying that negotiations between the club and Arshavin's representatives and Zenit are progressing well.

13.41 Alberto Aquilani is set to end speculation about his future by signing a new long-term contract at Roma. The Italian has in the past been linked with Arsenal.

To bad, always thought he'd fit in well with our style of play...

I always liked Joe Kinnear...

http://www.livesoccer247.com/

Quazzie · 10-01-2009 03:13PM

Who's captain?

EDIT: Just seens it is Toure. I'm happy with that

DenMan · 10-01-2009 03:15PM

Kolo Toure. For some reason the stream has lost sound but the picture is not freezing out.

Quazzie · 10-01-2009 03:23PM

There seems to be a lot of the usual play across the 40 yard line area with the odd burst going forward and the Bolton defence clearin it out for Arsenal to start again. Same old, same old.

Quazzie · 10-01-2009 03:25PM

Kevin Davies has to be the dirtiest player in the Premiership!

Royale with Cheese · 10-01-2009 03:28PM

Very pedestrian, don't look threatening at all.

redout · 10-01-2009 03:39PM

Here is a link you might find useful redeye. These guys are great for techie stuff....although it seems a bit gay at the start. Very helpful nonetheless.

The sound comes back before half time and fcuks up the video. Has anybody else been having stop and start viewing? The video was perfect when it had no sound. Might have a look at justin.tv and see what they have.

Thanks man but I want to take my tv screen and put it on the laptop so I can stream it to people. That video shows you how to do the opposite. I checked justin.tv but they say to use a webcam. I could give it a go but I think the picture will be not to good.

DenMan · 10-01-2009 04:12PM

videojug.com is a great website redeye. If you run a search there I am sure you will find what you need. Good luck man. Stream is coming in good now with video and audio. Let's hope it stays that way.

Quazzie · 10-01-2009 04:37PM

Does anyone else get the feeling that the longer we go without scoring the more chance we have of losing 1-0

Quazzie · 10-01-2009 04:44PM

Thank God for that goal..YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

redout · 10-01-2009 04:44PM

Goal............

Bendtner

1 - 0

Royale with Cheese · 10-01-2009 04:56PM

Right I've been converted. On that performance the team badly needs Arshavin.

Diaby woeful. Nasri held on to the ball for far too long and then just passed it sideways when he eventually decided to get rid of it.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 10-01-2009 05:05PM

My god that was an awful performance. Didn't create a thing until they realised there was only 20 minutes left and Vela came on.

That match just shows how much Arshavin could help. The team is clueless in attack atm, apart from van Persie but he still can't consistently convert chances.

DenMan · 10-01-2009 05:08PM

We were lucky today, that's for sure. Got the get out of jail card with that great link up with Van Persie and Bendtner. Was very impressed with Nasri. He always wants the ball and runs with it. Finally saw the last 20 mins in peace on iraqgoals.com.

Get Arshavin in and possibly N'Zogbia too quickly.
