Why are we STILL waiting for Wenger to sign a defensive midfielder?

   Idiot. Are you saying Hull were better than us last season? Just because they beat us once? But last season, with Denilson, we made it further in the Champions League than we did the season before, when “we were one of the best teams in Europe”- surely by your spectacularly simple and childish logic that then means Denilson is better than Flamini? But that can’t be true, because Hull didn’t beat us with Flamini around?? But last year we also beat Hull twice so maybe we are better than them after all?? Oh no, what to do with all these big, big questions in your tiny, little mind?!?

   You’re very stupid.

   The people who are calling for Cana – have you ever actually seen him play beyond more than a game or 2 or even his youtube highlights ? Honestly, have you ? He has spent the majority of the season playing at CB and all he is is Robbie Savage with a more exotic passport !! People might turn around and point to his aggression and leadership skills and suggest thats what we need – well what glories has he lead his team to ?

   Additionally, as some people have already said this transfer window is still very much in its infancy – take away what Citeh and Real Madrid have done and not a lot has happened yet. Tottenhma have signed 2 reserve right backs, Liverpool have signed a RB and a kid for the future, Villa have signed a winger on crutches til Oct, Everton have re-signed Jo on loan and taken a punt on a couple of youngsters, even Chelsea have only really secured Zhirkov, their other signings are a reserve keeper and a kid who will be 4th choice striker. The mancs are also clerly feeling the economical pinch – they received £80M and have spent about £20M and Fergie says he is done. So there is a long wayto go in this transfer market yet, so I reckon your post might just turn out to be a little bit premature – unless your Real or Citeh you can’t make the transfer market move like Champ Manager.

   Arsenal Action – take it how you want obviously, but I mean this purely constructively. This article has some pretty reasonable and relevant stuff in it, but if you write with the eloquence of a 15 year old hoodie gangsta wannabe, then you are always gonna be given some shit in the comments. Like I say, I dunno if you care but I thought I would share my opinion.

   Additionally, Wenger has his faults and no doubt deserves criticism and definitely shouldn’t be above getting it. But I do think the man that gave us the Invincibles – something NONE of his peers have ever achieved, does atleast deserve the respect of being criticised in a manner that doesn’t resort to petty name calling.

   Why are you “still waiting” for something that will never happen? We don’t need another defensive midfielder, we have two of the best young defensive midfielders in the league, it’s sad that some many of you don’t realize that…Wenger knows what he is doing and he has done amazing things on a shoestring budget.

   Im Macedonian but I leave like Arsenal is my team and England my country.I dream to come to watch Arsenal one day if I got many and I will say this.
   Mr.Wenger is waiting so long to buy a players.If we sell Senderos for 5 milions and Toure who desperatly want to leave in last season for a fee of 15 milion we will have 5+15 and Adebayor cash + 25 that is 45 milions.The club say that will give 20 milions for transfers that is 65 milions for players.I will sign Huntelaar 20 milions and one of world class players Sneijder 15 or Van der Vaart same 15 milions.We will spend 35 milions for two very very class players.That is good deal for Real Madrid too.Finally we will sign Hangeland for 10 milions and we will spend totally 45 milions for three fantastic signings.20 milions from Arsenal newer be used and they can affort to use in credits for Arsenal new stadium.We have many but other is manager….Respect and greetings from Macedonia…

    To be fair to Wenger he does always say we will only buy if the right player comes along at the right price and there is no point just paying someone like Sporting £18 mill for Veloso just because we “need a defensive midfielder”. If he is no better than what we have already then leave it. There have been a few players (like Flamini for example) who fans thought weren’t going to be good enough and then came good and i think Denilson / Song / Diaby will be better again this year so let’s see. Wenger has the best record of any manager for creating good or great footballers from just seeing their potential, this is why where we are where we are on our budget.

    If our main players stay fit this season then we will be 1st or 2nd if not 3rd or 4th where we usually finish! Not bad for a club with next to no outside investment.

    Thats it, enough is enough.
    I choose Arsenal to support 12 years ago. I want born into it, i have spent shed loads of cash on the Arsenal brand. Even flying to London to see game. Fark it, if Wenger doesn’t sign a DM(or god willing the club goes private) im gonna package up and sell everything and switch teams. Too bad they all make me sick. Barcelona would be good as its a whole different leuge. Oh, Save the “Go on support another team, we dont need you” crap cause guess what. They(you may not) do need me and thousands of fans just like me. If they wont give Wenger the money or Wenger wont spend.The club is treating its supporters like mugs. There are dozens of teams who would spend just that little extra to make the fans happy..Happy fans = money. This is a business. no?

18. ivan says:
    July 23, 2009 at 10:47 pm

    Yeah, just amazing. Watch, they will make money again this summer. Wenger must be getting a cut of the money he doesnt spend. Unless the club goes private you can look forward to the club sinking to amid table team after Wenger leaves as i agree, he has done amazing things on hi budget and no other coach could. LOOK BEYOND WENGER, the problem is the board. Wenegr just has his ego wrapped up in the brand, the board knows it and uses him. Poor sod.
19. chris says:
    July 23, 2009 at 10:48 pm

    I totally agree with you. Vieira is still captain of France and in the Inter team that won the Italian league. He may not be as physical as he once was but in the big European games that won’t be the main factor. Song or Denilson can play the run of the mill games and we can wheel Paddy out when we need experience for a big game or some Northern Monkey needs a bit of a kicking.

    All of our young midfielders would be immeasurably better for playing with him, especially Ramsey, who may well emerge as the answer to all of our problems given the right coaching.

    Bring him home!

    To be fair the player you mention are not finished product. If we had Cana he could teach the lads, instill the steal needed for the position. Or sawllow the pride and get back Flamini. Sport is about winning, a goal of finishing “in the top 4″ is ridiculous.

    It’s gonna be another long season and we will be challenging on at least 4 fronts ( League, F.A, Carling, Champions League). There will definitely be injuries along the way.

    The strength in depth (in certain areas) we lacked last season is what we should address. These areas in my opinion are the DM and CB positions. We SHOULD have a taller, stronger CB (Hangeland) come in and we shld have a strong experienced hardman beside Cesc (Cana/Senna/Veloso,Flamini). In the case of injuries then we have a bucketload of talent (Diaby/Song/Denilson)to come in.

    I dont see this current team winning the league or the Champions league which in my opinion are the trophies we shld be GUNNING for to restore the natural order and our wounded pride. The Carling / F.A will be nice bonuses if we can achieve those too.

    As regards our attack, the presence of someone like Huntelaar who rarely tries to score the “perfect” goal will probably go a long way in ensuring we put away more of the numerous chances we create. A poacher in the mould of Torres/Eto’o/Ibra/Villa/Van Nistelrooy will consistently be a 25+ goals a season striker in a team like ours.

    However all these remedies mean one thing.. “Money”. Do we have the money to spend? If we didnt sell Adebayor, wouldnt we still service our debts ? Cant that booty be used for new acquisitions ? Doesnt spending now and winning trophies mean we make more money ?

    Only time will tell… what i do know is that Arsenal CANNOT afford to go another season trophyless as our other stars (Cesc, V.P etc) will start considering other options.

    Arsene… it’s up to you !!! Please dont let us down.
24. ivan says:
    July 23, 2009 at 11:05 pm

    WENGER IS NOT ARSENAL. You will find that out in a hurry when he moves on as no other coach could keep the team in the “top 4″ on his budget.

    I don’t understand how I became an arsenal fan; some time it difficult to explain because arsenal board are only after the income rather than the successes of the club.
    Am not going to be surprise if all the 25+ player are replace by the training kid in the name of growing them.
    Questions for the arsenal lover
    Is arsenal club to develop kid?
    Are they after business- marketing this kids after few years experience?
    Is arsenal the only club on debt?
    Are the lower clubs like Sunderland, Tottenham, and Portsmouth etc richer than arsenal?
    If not, why do they keep complaining about there fiancé

    Ok, lotta bitching and moaning on this site!! Aren’t we supposed to be Arsenal “FANS”? Not critics…
    I wonder how many of you guys remember the days before Wenger?
    How many of you only started supporting Arsenal because of Wenger and the glory he brought our club?

    That said you do raise some valid points. We are in need of an experienced defensive midfielder.
    One thing people don’t talk about is that none of our central midfielders are over the age of 23!
    Cesc 22, Song 22, Diaby 23, Denilson 21!
    This is the engine room we’re talking about! Possibly the most important positions on the pitch, where games are won and lost.
    It was evident that Cesc missed having Flamini at his side last season. But he spoke about how he also missed Rosicky and Hleb. All 4 were experienced, skillful, intelligent footballer who were good at keeping possession and were fantastic passers of the ball. They were also regular starters during that season 2 years ago.
    These are all important factors. Last season our midfield was hardly ever the same. We missed Cesc for a period, Walcott, Nasri, Diaby. We hardly ever had any time to settle. This meant not only that Wenger was unable to discover his strongest midfield 4 but also the players themselves had no time to gel.

    I hope Wenger does sign a CDM only because I feel we need an experienced head in the middle of the park. However we all KNOW deep down that Wenger knows football. I believe that with a good pre-season and barring any more injuries, he will have got our team ticking again.

    Who knows, maybe Eboue or Senderos will play centrally and do a fantastic job!!

    If we are honest with ourselves i’m pretty sure NO-ONE will have guessed Flamini would have been so amazing before that season. The guy was a utility player who had been with us foor 4 years an hardly set the world alight!!

    Have a little patience and trust. Remember that we as the fans have the ablilty to make or break our team.

    If we support them through the first few bad spells they will come out of it stronger for it.
    If we hammer them at the first sign of weakness then they will not do so well!!

    GET BEHIND YOUR TEAM!!!!

    have you seen veloso or cana play cos I can honestly say I dont know much about them.Bet you dont too and if they are that good why are clubs not lining up for their signatures!
    Just cos we read about these players on silly blogs doesnt make them great players.
    Hold your hand to your heart and say that you knew anything about petit or vieira before Arsene bought them on the cheap and moulded them into world class players cos again i didnt!
    Have some faith Wenger will buy some obscure frenchman none of us know anything about and before you can bleat champions our problems will be solved.
    Another thing what do you do if you are having slight financial problems within your household?hold onto your money and be a bit careful or just waste your money on inflated priced items?
    Answer that one honestly as well and remember Leeds united.
    lets all get a grip please the reason the worlds in a bit of a shit state at the moment is because we have all over borrowed so that we can keep up with the next door neighbours.Football is a mirror image of this and from a personal view I have had a season ticket for about 25 years and hopefully will get to see my club for another 25 years.When I go I would like not to have to wear a russian hat or arab robes to appreciate our owners like other chavy teams cling to so please lets be real.

    For all those calling the board greedy and willing a Usmanov takeover, please read last 2 paragraphs

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/2817245/Arsenal-FC-boosts-defence-against-bid.html

    Arsenal’s shareholders have taken no money out of the club for 30years thats not greedy. they have invested there time with only perhaps a salary for those shareholders on the board of directors.

    So any profits are reinvested. The board are simply doing what is best for the long term function of the club. And given that they aren’t profitting from the club, if it was possible to buy players and Wenger wanted to, why wouldn’t they? No skin off their noses. They wouldn’t annoy supporters for the sake of it, as several people have pointed out they need the supporters, to ensure the club they have invested vast sums of money in, remains viable. We also know that if Wenger wants someone, the board are willing to release funds from somewhere, see Arshavin.

    And no doubt people will now point to the fact the value of holdings has went up so quickly. But that only happens as a result of good sound financial management or fiddling the books . Why shouldnt they be rewarded if they are running club well. However they are not benefitting, the lockdown would still be in place if it wasnt for boardroom coups, and ousted members selling shares/internal share sales to ensure a good balance of power.

    Firsly understand Arsenal’s business model. Yes, it is a business, no a love child of some billionaire. So it has to be self-financing. It is different from Real Madrid or Man City, Chelsea or Man Utd business models. Conservative? Yes. Prudent? Yes. 2 seasons ago, Cesc was good, playing alongside Rosicky and Hleb. These 2 hardly gave the ball away and created a lot, with and without the ball. Flamini’s contribution is much lesser. Could Wenger be blamed for not replacing Rosicky and Hleb? Rosicky, no ‘cos it never looked like he would miss the entire season while Hleb, it is also yes ‘cos we signed Nasri. Both Eduardo and Rosicky are like new signing ‘cos they missed the entire season. It is childish to say the Wenger would claim Nasri’s return is like a new signing – makes you look like a clown. And as for defensive midfielder(s), Denilson would do the job nicely. No need for a huff and puff British type, one that does the job quietly would do. Funny how Gilberto is missed after he is gone but slaughtered while he is here. Mark my words, this coming season, it would take a lot to stop the Gunners.

    yes yes yes ade-bore has gone, if we look at most matches this boring striker played you will the team itself played their socks off with some fantastic skills only for the bore to miss. he missed so many sitters, and was caught off side so very often he was a joke. the excuse oh ya his hair cut. if this was the time henry came in we would have walked the league.
    come on mr chairman spend the hidden dosh of fans hard earned cash they paid to the club. we have not spent anything near the mark in four years of what the other clubs spent in one year. just get the scrapper another henry we need it now and give fabregas his pal in midfield olonso.
    by the way fabriaski or what ever his name is sorry wenger he is not a professional he played like a puppet on a string that cost us the fa cup. arsenal have always had the best of keepers, bob wilson jennings seamon, lehmann and so on. keepers can save the game when they know what they are doing this polish keeper needs more time to develop in the reserves where he belongs.

    I would sack wenger and replace him with Steve Bruce if we dont win anything this summer.

    Bruce has always shown bottle in the transfer market until this weed of a man wenger who only cares about zee profit

    —–
    Jesus
    What has Steve Bruce ever won?
    Has the won the double twice. hmm. let me think. NO i don’t think he has. So you want to get in a man who doesn’t have a track record of winning things!

    You want to get in a man who has a record of keeping up teams safely below the relegation places. An Alan Curbishley. What does he know about winning the league? Fa Cup? getting to the late stages of the CL? What does he know about dealing with superstars like Fabregas and Arshavin? Do you think they will stay if the man who brought them there, a man they respect massively is fired?
    Oh and a man who leapfrogs clubs more often than George Bush shows us his lack of literacy.

    Currently Wenger hasn’t failed. We are close to winning things – We have in recent years got to the quarters, semis and final. We got to the fa cup semi last season and recently got to the carling cup final with a bunch of early 20 year olds and teens.

    Yes, we need a dominating midfielder and he knows that too. But he also knows that he can’t spend more money than he has. Look at the recent news of Platini changing the budget rules so that clubs have to spend within their means. This is what Wenger has been saying all along! Platini won’t credit Wenger though and neither will the ANLTM (Arsene Knows Less Than Me) Brigade.

    Wenger is not a mircale maker but he has done an almost miracle of a job with an arsenal side who have had less funds than not only – Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea but also Tottenham (Cunts) and Newcastle. And we can all see this squad has talent.

    The main hope is that we find and sign a centre mid and whatever else Wenger and his understudys feel we need. I’m fairly sure he will sign 1 more player, if not another.

    So if it is Wenger’s job to buy, then it is also his job not to buy if he decides what he has now is sufficient. How do you substantiate your outlandish statement about the quality of other PL team’s defensive midfielders? Or Arsenal simply plays without one, just like Barcelona ?
38. tevmar92 says:
    July 24, 2009 at 12:28 am

    Isn’t watching your team go through the highs and lows enough?
    Why do you need constant glory?
    Life isn’t perfect. Think of all the fans of the lower teams. Leeds were a flying premiership team and are now lowly league two-ers. However, I bet the real fans still enjoy going to games.

    SO YOU CHOOSE BARCELONA – Clearly all you want is either 1) Trophies to brag about 2) Knowing that you support the best team

    I bet if you were a Barcelona fan when they were 15th in the league a couple seasons back you would be making these same threats and saying you would go and support ARSENAL who have a proper manager with consistency and a class team battling for the title.

    You my sir, are a Steve Bruce, a leap frogger.

    I just don’t see where our improvement is going to come from this season…we just sold our no.1 striker to a direct rival, and we’re not going to replace him?! That seems like insanity to me. And it’s also the same mistake we have made over the past few seasons when we sold or lost players and never replaced them.

    We are deficient in defence and central midfield, and haven’t really gone about improving those areas (we have signed a central defender, but we also need a tall central defender to protect us from the aerial threat that constantly destroys us).

    Man City are coming for out CL place, and if we dont respond we will drop out of the Champions League next year. And if we sell Toure to them (I’m praying that this is only a rumour) that will be the end, that man should be our captain.

    Thank god we have Arshavin because otherwise we would be really screwed…but shouldn’t the improvement he has brought be enough to convince Wenger of the benefits a big signing can bring?

    After that lot of comments there`s not much more to add except that I can hear Wengers reply from here in the Australian bush ” when we find the right player at the right price we`ll buy”…..We all know players values are inflated by clubs and agents so if you want a twelve million pound player go hunting in the twenty million pound market and use your business prowess to bring it into range of your budget, bit like buying a car.

    Rich no you can’t have a good game every game but its the big games that show your true colours and FA cup semi final or the Champions league semi final (not to mention the later premier league games against the big 4) they where the ones that showed them up for being what they are AVERAGE.

    GOONERS PLEASE READ.

    These same discussions, again and again.

    So nothing has changed since last week. i know it’s hard waiting for the season to start, but i’m shocked at the tone of some of you.

    It’s fair enough to say you think we need a dm, or a tall cb, but to call our manager shit, blind or stupid, and lay into our manager and club, IS NOT WHAT FANS DO.

    That’s for other teams’ fans.

    It’s not that you can’t criticise decisions, lord knows i’ve been banging on about a lack of leadership for years. it’s this kind of impetuous consumer mentality for instant gratification. we’d never be booing or saying this stuff at highbury. who are these new fans, and where were they before when shit stank? when there was no anonynous blogging obsession?

    And arsenal action, whoever that is behind the mask of moderator, stoking the fire, please mate you need to stop this. go on holiday. stop making it worse. we realiese you actually have nothing new to say, so wait for the action like everyone else. That or actually go and find arsene wenger, and say it to him in person. call him shit, if you have the balls (and film it).

    i was a fan of Flamini before his stella year at AFC everyone seems to forget it was him at left back that got us to the champions league final (and then dropped in the final by Le boss for Cashley mole who left us shortly after loosing the Cl final) and yet he still didn’t extend his contract THEN

    Ivan, i am ashamed on your behalf. threatening to switch clubs like a little brat.

    you don’t choose to support Arsenal.

    By the age of about 10, you either ARE arsenal our you’re NOT arsenal.

    Ivan if you said that to me in person or any of my football mates, whatever their team, we would laugh you out of sight. That guy at school who switched clubs to get mates. in my school we banned him from supporting arsenal.

    Word!

    How the fuck can people say Wenger does not care about Arsenal? He made us what we are and for that im forever greatful. The man has a bloody master in economics, who are all these disrespectful little pieceofshits questioning his competence? mark my words, whatever he chooses to do it will be for the best.

    I can tell you right now, NO OTHER MANAGER IN THE WOLRD WOULD DO IT EVEN HALF AS GOOD. We finished top four i the world, with ALOT, ALOT, ALOT, less money in our disposal compared to the other three. Have some bloody faith.

    Arsenal dont need suporters like theese guys, support your team or fucking go the Chelsea i dont give shit.You wont realise what we have until we loose him. Man this shit makes me tierd, get your shit togheter!
