   To bring you up to speed, Pires was offered a contract, he just received a more favourable one by Villareal so chose to go there.

   lol, quit bitching sinbad mate :p Wenger is a snake when it comes to transfers. Don’t believe a word he says. Are you surprised? Is anyone? Whining won’t help and just makes you seem like a bit of wimp.

   As long as we’re in a decent league position, we can’t really complain. Agree though, that if we want to remain in this position, we need a DM and FW. Probably a CB as well.

   We have no idea what the terms of Rosicky’s deal are so we can’t complain. Most likely it’s a pay as you play which is beneficial for all. If he does hit best form again, he can’t leave us on a free. Ala Flamini. Which would make you bitch all over again.

   Several good points (for once). Empty seats could be put down to mixture of lazy season-ticket holders and general seats that are too expensive. If Bendtner returns soon, cover for the two centres backs is arguably more pressing than signing a forward! Must get a DM as you imply but Wenger said the other day that is not a position he is looking at as we have Denilson. Promising player though he is, he is not a blocker/enforcer.

   Oh Tommy gets a new deal for more than two years as he is 28 I believe.

   Absolute tripe.

   Pires left as he was only offered a one year deal (arsene’s policy for 30+ year olds) and rosicky is under 30, so doesn’t fall into the same category. Do some research mate.

   Arsenal turns another profit, my first thought at that is one of happiness, not “oh my god then why arent we blowing it all on an overrated player like other big clubs”.

   Have some faith and quit writing your this whinge-fest of a blog. You sound like your every day fairweather Man United fan.

   mate you seriously need your brain checked. pires WANTED to leave, wenger has already said that he tried to keep him you total muppet. honestly man go away, you talk like you know everything calling urself a fan but in reality you know nothing.
7. Sinbad says:
   January 6, 2010 at 8:36 pm

   What about Gallas? Why is he now getting a new long term deal? And Dennis Bergkamp was only getting 1 year and then made to play for the next?
8. fred says:
   January 6, 2010 at 8:38 pm

   because, pires was 33, and rosisky is 29 you moron.

   because pires was unhappy he was substituded in the final and didnt want to spend the next season as a sub, rosisky doesnt have such a problem.

   get over it, you prick
9. NickTheGooner says:
   January 6, 2010 at 8:38 pm

   also, we make profits and you somehow make that out to be a bad thing and that we should spend it all?? even after getting into massive debt moving stadiums?

   if we do that, we wont be allowed in the CL ina few seasons.

   you are a true bellend.

    Bobby Pires left because he had made his mind up to leave. And Rosicky is class. He deserves one last shot to prove his worth.

    My God is this a real website? I actually thought it was a mock article but it really is serious isn’t it. Good grief. Is this where Arsenal fans on their period come?

    Veloso, an over-rated, unwatched, almost mythical hollywood signing which you people seem to want based on word of mouth. Carlton Cole, yeah snap him up, an injury prone striker who’s had one half-decent season who hasn’t played in two months.

    We are in the best position we have been in for a good few years. Cheer the fuck up and stop whining. I didn’t want to spend so much time on this but you’ve annoyed me but it’s people like you who if you were in charge of this club you’d buy players based on hype and in turn lower this club to the standards of Spurs.

    I pity you.

    January 6, 2010 at 8:48 pm

    I agree with Sinbad. Its about time wenger started to spend the cash. He has till the end of this season. If its 4th place and nothing again then i want his head
14. Tunde says:

    Very well said, could not have put it any better, what a mug this so called Sinbad is!!!

    Goalkeepers & Defenders tend have longer careers longer than midfielders & strikers, Gallas is still a top top defender who still has a lot to offer us plus Bergkamp at the time was a squad player whilst Gallas is our first choice central defender & we’d be foolish to let him go especially considering the fact that Gallas would be first choice in any team he chooses to join
16. lalala says:
    January 6, 2010 at 8:58 pm

    shut the fuk up you stuck up bitch. we are going well in the league and considering we may be 1 point behind chelsea if we win our game in hand… plus, bentner is coming back soon, eduardo is going back to his best game by game and in 3 weeks, he will be the player he was before ***** birmingham broke his leg.
    carlos vela needs to be given more team action to show what he can do, he is a quality player and ramsey is doing wkd. rosisky should be back to his best after a couple of games. why on earth do we need to sign someone when we dont need to.
    and the fuk is everyone saying that we need to spend money, jst cause chelsea n man city are spending. all the playeres wenger has signed, last minute it may be have been of quality, arshavin is a pure example.. if he does buy someone, be sure he will be a great player
17. angelo says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:00 pm

    Mate sort it out Pires was upset because he was taken off early in the champions League final against Barca and had all of his family there and he didn’t forgive Wenger for it. So he wanted to leave,,, End of story.. Rosicky is a beautiful skillful player and when he plays he’s deadly in the hole and creates play for the other attacking minded players in the team.. He deserves a contract. So stop crying like a baby and getting your toys out of your pram and support the team. Donut!!!! Get your facts first and then back it up!!!

    spend, spend, spend AW, no need for rationality? NO i think AW is right to be cautious and spend only on a player who will add quality. He has already shown this with arshavs and vermaelen. we have not the problems at spurs, liverpool, real of players bought in haste and excitement coz of press overhype that we are now desparate offload like pavluchenkos, hunteelars, rieras, kolos . and thats why the club will be proud that despite getting the cream of EPL newcomer players, we are still making more money.whats wrong with making more money, especially when your mates are losing it big time?

    January 6, 2010 at 9:04 pm

    here we go, old sailor boys been let loose on the key board again ! must be the time of the month!! It all depends what road you want to go down mate.The club has just got into massive debt building a new stadium, which I think most gooners would agree was, by and large, a good move. How the fuck can you have the hump that the club is making a profit!?Wenger has already acknowledged that we need a new striker, but we do still have a good sqaud of players, and nearly every other club in the league would love to be in our position. We have scored more goals than anyone in the league( without our best striker) and are looking good in all competitions apart from the Carling cup, which is all the spuds have to show for years and years of massive investment !so please save your whining untill the end of the season,because you might just end up with egg on your face ! By the way, you’re not related to that twat who writes that other old drivel Arsenal Truth are you ?

    Sorry Sinbad but thats 1 poor article. It is littered with mistakes. What makes you think that you have a right to know details of when or why Wenger (THE MANAGER) buys or sells players? Actually, I think the prozone stats for Pires dropped dramatically in his last season. He went to Villereal and straight away done his cruciate I believe. The reason why clubs can’t be totally transparent to their fans is because there is so many dumbarses like you about. And another thing Viera was not a defensive midfielder.
24. Gale says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:08 pm

    Please do all real Arsenal fans a favour and go support Man City, Chelski or a club that buys their silverware rather than earning it. Since everything the club stands for, and everything Wenger does bothers you, I think you’ll find switching club allegiance will solve your problem. I, for one, am proud to be an Arsenal fan.
25. eduardo says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:08 pm

    Sindbad aren’t you one of those who told us all last season and the start of this one that Song was not good enough for Arsenal and never would be, now you demand we sign someone to cover his three weeks away.

    As for Pires, you will find that Pires was offered a new deal, in fact a two year deal, but he refused it cos he had been subbed in the CL final when Mad Jens got sent off, his ego would not allow him to be anything other than a first choice player.

    Now to the empty seats, you will find that the tickets are sold, and for one reason or another fans can not afford the travel costs and other costs that comes with going to all the games so they are picking and chooseing which ones to go to. Maybe the lack of money they have is something to do with the world wide financial crisis, maybe you have heard of it.

    Why are you bringing up the club profits, no new figures have been released since october, maybe you have only come across them now, or is it the sky feature today about how much of a loss man city made last year and how Arsenal are the only club in profit, your article brings you out as a very childish individual with a childish view of how things work
26. rafi says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:09 pm

    Is the auther aware of the plight at the mancs where the club is in such dire straights they arent even sure what the world holds for them tomorrow as their loan repayments are getting out of hand? spend, spend, spend could come back to haunt arsenal, look at westham!
27. P'TangYangKipperBang says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:11 pm

    and judging by the thoughts that run through it I shouldn’t think anybody wants your head. No one but a moron/spurs fan agrees with Sinbad.
28. nils says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:11 pm

    mate i think you may be harsh but you have some good points, wenger talks shit and we keep falling for the same nonsense every year, he aint won nothing yet, he should really start stop talking about signings and make a damn signing sson as possible, the share holders are out for him and he knows it, if he wins somethin this year i will eat humblle pie but fellow gooners i dont hate the guy i just wishe he would act in the market and no-one can point the figer at him
29. Alan says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    What would you prefer we do. Nurse Rosicky through almost 2 years then watch as he has a storming end to the season and has 20 clubs banging on his door to leave in June for nothing
30. Alan says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:24 pm

    I’ve been very impressed with how Arsenal and more probably Gazidis have gone about tying all our players down to long contracts
31. anandamide says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:30 pm

    What gave you the idea that Arsenal should win trophies every year? Oh yeah, it was the success that Wenger brought to the club. How a know-nothing like you gets off criticizing the greatest manager our club will ever have is beyond me.
32. Iluvafc says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:35 pm

    Some comments on your queries.
    1) yes we should probably get a DM & CF, but then again, we’re overstocked on diminutive hobbits in midfield who are desperate for playtime. So the gaffer ain’t gonna buy any. As for CF, he’l only go for one willin to play 2nd fiddle once our lads return.(I.e. Mediocre player). So I don’t see the point, since we’re quite abundant in that area as it is.
    I would rather see reinforcements in DC & GK. Veloso & Given would be great.
    2) Rosicky needs that contract cos he’s best mates with Cesc. AW wouldn’t want to see his Captain peeved. It’s called man-management. Simple really.
    3) AW exploits to the media on new signings is to get the other big spenders busy with impulse buys, & when crazy $ start changing hands he can get the guys he wants without undue interference. It’s called politics. Not rocket science also.
33. Gunnernet says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:36 pm

    Pires didnt get his deal because he was 32 when he left the club, not 30.. 2 years are huge difference.. And also he wanted to go because Wenger substituted him at Paris in front of his compatriots in the 1st half.
34. P'TangYangKipperBang says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:38 pm

    So he should go against what he sees every day in training etc and go and spend a load of money to please people like you. Grow up! Teams are about much more than money. At Utd Vidic cost 6 mil and nobody had heard of him and Berbatov was 30 odd mil. I know which 1 i’d want in my team.
35. andy says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:39 pm

    It’s idiots like you that taint this club and as a result jeopardise or chances of keeping Wenger (the best manager we have EVER had at the club) leaving for Real Madrid in the summer. I bullshit you not, through speaking to people I know close to Wenger he was very close to leaving last summer because he was bewildered by the criticism he received. . Ha has made mistakes (silvestre) but what manager doesn’t.
    The fact of the matter is, Wenger will ONLY pay for a player on what he feels the player is worth. Have faith in what this man is trying to achieve remembering that we are not that far away!!

    This is the first Blog I have come across where I see fans who actually cares what Wanger is doing for Arsenal and and willing to back him. He is the best manager in PL and we need to get behind him and not have a go at him….all the players he told us who he thought were good last season but we could not see have done good this season i.e. Song, Bentner, Diaby and Denilson. Players he bought have fitted into the team quick. We are making profit in time when world is in crises. I think there are lot of fans who can’t seem to see what he is doing for the Arsenal…he is taking us towards worlds best club. Well done to all who are behind him.

    PS. He is 6th or 7th richest manager in PL. Where I can see him make lot more money if he wanted by going to place like Man City who would offer him bigger pay check.
37. Hambi says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:45 pm

    “…..he aint won nothing yet,..”

    Are you serious? He’s won Arsenal so many trophies and brought so much style and pleasure to not only our fans but football. He has had managers playing catch up to his skills and knowledge ever since he came.

    Let me remind you that before him we had Graham and boring boring Arsenal and still no trophies and we finishing mid table. No Europe, NOTHING.

    People like you should go ‘support’ Man City, because what you really need is a football club to support your ego.

    embarrassing article as ususal from sinbad. not sure this guy even watches football. just likes complaining. if he’s so worried about empty seats why doesn’t he buy a ticket like the rest of us?

    be patient, once the stadium has been paid off (because of wenger) we will have all the money in the world compete. if trophies are that important to you, go and support chelsea or man utd with the rest of their souless fans
39. Marko says:
    January 6, 2010 at 9:55 pm

    6 days gone and you’re complaining about no signings. Right there you should stupidity and second the reason Pires was never offered a long contract was because he was quite plainly not as good as he was. Rosicky is 29 while Pires was in his 30′s when he left Arsenal. I realise you’re part of this new breed of Arsenal fan who just moan, complain and bitch and call our manager all kinds of names because you’re basically a cunt yourself but seriously Sinbad things are going well for us at the moment.

    Well well well, I thought I’d seen it all, but I’m glad you’ve proved me wrong. I’m sure that with your vast knowledge of football, and ridonculous scouting network, you could do Arsene’s job without getting out of bed in the morning.

    What a fucking moron.

    dude 1st of all why are you bitching about wenger?have some respect mate .. it is obviously good to keep rosicky because he is a good influence in the dressing room not to mention that he is tight with fabregas..he also brings a lot of experience for the arsenals young midfield , he was the captain for czech republic . Pires was losing his form and was offered a contract he was just to pissed off about being subbed off in the UCL final thats why he left or willareal probably offered him something better . we do not need vieira note that wenger tends to sell players at the right moment and he also has a policy of buying back anyone he already sold . It would be good to have a CB for cover plus 1 forward but wenger doesnt have to buy a world class DM because itll ruin Songs position in the team when he comes back so just a CB and Forward would do . Subotic and Cole should do the job for arsenal since Cole is already in the premier league showing form this season and he would be cheaper than the other forwards . Subotic can just be in standby waiting to replace and learn from gallas . but it all comes down to wenger
    the master of the transfer window so have some respect for the manager of your team man!Sinbad…..IN ARSENE WE TRUST!

    How gratifying to read the comments to this drivel. Who is this geezer who writes this shit? As someone pointed out, life before Arsene wasn’t that great. In my lifetime we’ve had the double team of 71, George Graham’s time, and a bit of Brady in between. Although we’d won more than Spurs we were on a par with them until Wenger elevated us into another sphere… It’s a long way from perfect now, and so is Arsene but he’s the best we’ve ever had. Show some fucking respect.

    “… The day Arsenal stopped trying to win things and became a business that only cared about profit”

    You stupid, sorry excuse for a supporter! Wenger is building a fantastic team of exciting, skillful players – surely capable of winning things – while simultaneously securing the club’s economic and financial stability, and all you can do is shout “buy more players, bla bla bla”. Grow up, you moron! Do you want Arsenal to be the next Leeds or the Next Portsmouth? You should be so unbelieveably grateful for the sheer GENIOUS of Wenger, but all you can do is piss and moan.

    A DM? We need another DM like you need another hole in your head. The only player we need in our squad is a world class keeper, but I wouldn’t blame Wenger for not signing one, as I know this isn’t fantasy football. Sometimes the right player just isn’t available. I would rather see Wenger NOT buying anyone in this window than buying someone not quite good enough. Song will be back in a month or so, and even though v. Persie is out for the season he isn’t exactly dead. He will be back, Bendtner is probably back soon, and as some other poster mentioned, Eduardo is on his way back to his best. On top of that, we are scoring loads of goals from midfield positions – Diaby, Cesc, Ramsey, Nasri, Arshavin. Have you looked at the ‘goals for’ column in the table, for crying out loud? We have scored more goals than any other team. Surely, a new striker is not needed.

    In short, we are doing very, very well, despite a shitload of injuries. Now go SUPPORT our team and our manager instead of whinging like a little girl.

    Once again reading this blog makes me cringe.

    But then again I was ready for it. It amazes me that tugmuttons can still produce negative articles like Sinbad had here.

    Here are some ideas for your next blog.

    In no particular order…….

    We are not losing money. We are making money.

    We are high up in the league. With a game in hand.

    We are playing football that every other team dreams of.

    We have the best manager in the world.

    The best scouting sytem in the world.

    We have scored the most goals. Most games played without our main strike force.

    Misfortune and a few poor referee decisions have stopped us being points ahead of Chelsea.

    We have the best stadium and the best pitch.

    We have depth in our squad that beats most and matches all in the league.

    We are in the last 16 in Europe. With a favourable draw.

    We are top of the current form league.

    We are Arsenal!

    So pull your head in Sinbad, get behind the lads or fuck of down the lane.

    are u a true fan, dont u remember. b4 pires signed i thought of him as an excellent player when in the champions league he beat 2 chelsea players and smashed the ball in from far and it hit the post than hit the other and went in (id never seen anything like it) and when he came he did not dissappoint. but after a serious knee injury that was the end of the white th14 and he was never the same( a true legend). not only that he was 33 and sunny spain was calling.
    im never that concerned if he does not sign anyone im happy with the players the style of play and im confident in wenger.( there is only 1 arsenal) i can see growth in cesc, song, denilson, diarby, bentdner and gallas. and valmelan is making an impact just like when we bought sol cambell. it show that wengar has an eye for a player from ramsey valmelan etc. so have trust u sad bastard
