Galvasean · 20-11-2012 01:05PM

Never thought I'd miss Gibbs so much!

Galvasean · 20-11-2012 01:16PM

Sign him up (again)?

100% sign him up in my books, even if he only has a couple of sub appearances in Cup games.

Did no harm last year, and if anyone deserves us frittering away a few pound by having him on the payroll it's Titi.

Galvasean · 20-11-2012 01:36PM

I'd say the extra merchandise/shirts he sells easily offset the wage contribution.

Too right. And it gave the fans and players a massive lift when he was there.

If there's a chance, bring him in. Are we losing Forehead to the African Cup of Nations Cup for Nations From Africa?

Royale with Cheese · 20-11-2012 01:42PM

As long as it doesn't stop Wenger from going for any long term striking options available in January, then sign him up.

Pretty sure Gervinho is off to Africa in January. Not sure if Chamakh is too, but there's a good chance he'll be sold in January anyhow.
I'd imagine Wenger will loan in Henry as cover for Gervinho and perhaps bring in Zaha as a backup/prospect player.

gnfnrhead · 20-11-2012 02:28PM

Henry was great once he got back to fitness. Wouldn't mind getting him for the second half of the season to take some of the weight off Giroud. If we can get someone else aswell, all the better.

Mickeroo · 20-11-2012 02:32PM

Would love to see Henry back again, when he came off the bench against leeds was fantastic last season! Something I'll always remember, even if it was against lower league opposition and in the FA cup.

emergingstar · 20-11-2012 02:45PM

He should come back just so jack can play with him

Zaha is an Arsenal fan.

He might be quite attracted by training/playing with Henry, if even briefly.

Been reading on few forums theo has put his house up for sale,dunno how true it is.

But if it is what a joke,we nurtured him for 7 years stuck with him,he finally is starting to shine and we let him go?

Maybe he's moving to a bigger house ?

Yeah, using the extra money we have promised him

Don't think it's a case of us just leaving him go. Takes two to get a deal done

tony1kenobi · 20-11-2012 09:38PM

Man U and Chelsea have both lost two on the bounce.

Wenger out.

Galvasean · 20-11-2012 09:57PM

It's mad how we draw with Fulham and people say it's time for Wenger to go. Beat a ten man Spurs and we're back in contention to win the league. We just don't do subtle...

Were along way off from being in with a chance of winning the league imo but its amazing how the mood amongst the supporters changes from game to game. Even though there was some very good performances last saturday im still think weve an awful lot of work to do and before we can challenge for the league and CL.

Correct. We were not doing very well last Sat until the sending off.
Our defence is just not sharp enough at the moment and that is a very big worry.
We have not kept a clean sheet since Sept 2nd at Anfield. Eleven weeks ago now.
We will have to fight hard to make the Top 4 but we could win a cup if we put out a strong enough team.

Galvasean · 20-11-2012 10:44PM

IMO top 4 finish and a domestic cup would be a great achievement for us this season.

Yes we need to win a Cup.
It would provide a platform from which we could launch next season's campaign and aim for winning the EPL. We badly need that platform as it would build confidence and get the monkey off our back.

Any predictions for tommorow? Should have too much for this Montpeiller side

I cant predict the scores but I think I can conveniently state that we would win tomorrow.

I see Giroud trying to make a definitive point to silence the doubters for sure.

Are there still many of those? Last few games he has looked the business.

As Arsenal fans; we of all people should be well used to this by now!:D We nurture players all the time only to see them leave.

Theo wants out and I believe he has since day 1; I don't buy this "I want to play up the middle" thing at all. It's a convenient excuse to leave which will be fully exposed as the lie that it is when he signs for his next club for on the wages he is looking for (which is probably the primary motivator here; combined probably with him getting a little fed up of Arsenal's transfer policy/lack of silverware).

I'd bet any money that we will soon see both of the following; Theo being paid £100k (or more) a week and Theo playing on the right of the front three for that new club. I guarantee it. Mark my words; this is all about money and absolutely nothing to do with what position he is picked in. Question of when, not if. Either by the end of the next transfer window or next summer on a bosman, hopefully the former so we can make a bit of money from him...
