    Rosicky is one of the best slide tacklers around. They're so clean when he gets them right.


    1:50 Against Ronaldo !! LOVE ITTT !! :)

    If he wasn't so lazy and so shyte, he would never be on the bench because of the natural ability he has. But because he is never consistent and is over weight, the bench is all he deserves. Some would say he is still lucky to be at the club. That is how bad he has become.

    If we need to buy anyone at all it should be an out and out goal-scoring Centre Forward. I mean CENTRE FORWARD.

    ABSOLUTELY! But I would be very very surprised if Arsene bought as you say "an out and out goal-scoring Centre Forward" :confused:

    Always had a bit of a soft spot for Rosicky,he ain't called "little Mozart" for nothing.
    But as that video shows, he is surprisingly good in the tackle for such a fragile bloke,plus I think he genuinely has an affection for the Arsenal, which would be a shame to go unnoticed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,969 ✭✭✭robby^5




    Hopefully he wont be able to do this to Szczesny again :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,989 ✭✭✭Noo


    Haha ches was not impressed! Good goal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean



    Sod him. he needs to play better. He started against Marseilles and it was one of the worst individual performances I've seen in an Arsenal shirt. And that includes the fat kid down at my local park.

    I think he used to have a mullet when he joined us. Dodgy hairstyles must be something he associates with Barca :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,989 ✭✭✭Noo


    Delighted for kos getting a full cap for France, his hard work not going unnoticed. The downside is we may run out of bubble wrap.

    And apparently rvp as been sent back to London and won't take part in the second friendly at Wengers request to rest him! :D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭SDTimeout


    Always noticed Rosicky with his slide tackles. The man is a machine still think Rosicky deserves a place in our best XI. I think in his age now he will be moved into the Song role.

    I'd rather see bendtner starting than chamakh or park at the minute if it had to happen, park should improve though

    Well he wont be getting CL football at Sunderland for sure anyway...in fairness to him, he never really got a real run in the side. I would have him over Chamak though.

    I remember hearing his father saying during the summer that they had lots of offers on the table, and they were deciding on the best one, then he ended up at Sunderland, so maybe that was all rubbish talk.

    I think Park will def improve, heard lots about him and wenger has nothing bad to say about him:)
    This Ryo Miyaichi should be tasty aswell from the vids iv seen :)

    he's not going to say otherwise though is he :pac: but yeah park needs time to settle in.
    as for ryo he's not the answer to no RVP at the minute(i know he did well at feyenoord haven't seen much else) he's only came on as sub twice in the carling cup & with man city in the next round don't think they'll get any further in it, i could see him going on loan in Jan. again.
    Arsenal could be destroyed in that game - there's a chance a weaker team than the one that played at OT could be selected - wouldn't do much for young players confidence

    Has anyone here at any point this season thought, "Man if only we had Bendtner, he'd sort out this mess!"?
    No?
    Good riddance to him so.

    Yeah, when we scored the 5th goal against Chelsea. I thought to myself; if only Nicklas was playing, he'd sort out this mess of a goalfest.

    Just wait until van Persie picks up his annual three month injury and then we'll need him back.

    I dunno about that. Has he ever given us any reason to think he has the consistency to take on the mantle of top gun? Personally I think he's found his level - mid table.

    He is a better option than Chamakh.

    Wenger doesn't seem to trust Park at all.

    So yeah, Bendtner would be a substantially better option than both Chamakh and Park once van Persie gets injured.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭AnCapaillMor


    Guranteed bendtner will be at spuds next year if 'Arry doesn't get the england job.

    Vermaelens 26 Birthday today, hopes he keeps on Verminating :D

    I'm better than Chamakh!

    (My shinners go in occasionally...)

    We could do with another striker alright but not Bendtner, his ego is too large for him to play the role his talent dictates.

    No, Bendtner might play one decent game or two and cover up the fact that we need another top class striker.

    Utd - Rooney - Berbatov - Hernandez - Owen - Welback
    City - Ageuro - Dzeko - Bal - Tevez
    Chelsea - Drogba - Torres - Sturridge - Anelka - Kalou
    Liverpoool - Carroll - Kyut - Suarez - Bellamy

    We've got RVP with Chamakh and Park as backup. Meh, in theory it could be enough but Chamakh is looking like he'll never have another good game at Arsenal and Park is still a huge unknown.

    It's a tough one for Wenger because we only play one striker so it's going to be tricky buying a top level striker for a bech position. This is probably where Park comes in because he can play in one of the wide positions as well as up front AFAIK, though how well he'd do there is even more of an unknown then how well he'd do centrally.

    Wenger will show his hand soon enough with this because from the 3rd of December to the 2nd Jan, we've 8 games and we can't expect to play RVP all those times without dying or something.

    I say splash the cash and get a gret winger/front man in Jan. He can cover RVP if needed and take over from Gerv for the ANC.

    I agree with both of you but I'd rather our depth at striker looked like:

    RVP---Bendtner---Chamakh---Park

    Instead of:

    RVP---Chamakh---Park---Gervinho/Walcott
