Well,the season is now coming closer and closer and somehow I am not yet convinced about our entire teams shape.Whether I will be right or wrong will depend on how we perform in the pre-season friendlies,or rather a real test will be in the Emirates Cup-the one trophy we always win!Frankly,speaking about loopholes,one major concern is the clown at the back of our defense and his side-kick "flappy."
Recent reports have suggested that Arsenal are moving to replace our beloved spanish shot-stopper by "Mark Schwarzer" for about 4 ml pounds.Now,I don't agree with this move ,but if there is no other alternative I don't mind it.The reason I am against this transfer is because Schwarzer is quite old,and he does not have champions league experience like other goalies.Moreover his performance in the World Cup was not very satisfying either.The "Old is Gold" principle does not really apply here,does it ?
Rather than move for him,we should move for may be Shay Given or Joe Hart,cause lets face it one will get pissed because he is going to sit and "butt-warm"the bench at the Eastlands and both are world -class keepers.Or may be Frey,yeah,recently there was a report that we may move for him to...oh,goody!Well ,next is the actual defense,but this department is less worrying because we still have Sol!Yup thats the only reason.Actually we do require another defender to cover for Tommy-Vand Koscielny.We certainly can't risk having one-injured.Otherwise it shall be another season with us conceding more than 25 goals..."the horror"
The mid-field department and attacking department are well covered up.Cesc Fabregas probably will stay at Arsenal and not go to that "Morgue."Recently saying"I think now the less said about the subject much the better, because these things are worse for everyone when they come to light and people talk more about the matter.Right now we have to be very calm and what will be will be."Another reason he may not be leaving because recent reports (according to the Review) have stated that a star worth 40 ml euros bought a house worth 2 ml in Marshalls drive at St.Albans,about 3 weeks ago..(lets just hope it was Cesc who bought the house, and not his evil twin brother!)RVP will be fresh from the World-cup and Chamakh from his long-holiday,so will Theo and "The Little Russian."
This season will seriously be interesting because The Gaffer has signed 2 experienced players,and both of them can make a difference,..though we still need a keeper and 1 more defender...once we sign a keeper and the extra defender,(the keeper will make any Gooners day,wont it?) we will completely be ready.Lastly,Cesc has won the World Cup,and that will take alot of pressure out of him,the young lad has matured and we may just see an exclusive season from him (and RVP also)...till then,lets wait and watch.... and be hopeful that I am right.
I don't think Schwarzer is such a bad move, obviously given or hart are better keepers but getting either would kill the career of sczhney who is undoubtedly the future of arsenal as far as keeping goes, aside from that I doubt man city would sell us either keeper, they don't need the money and would simply not sell as it would improve the team of their direct competitor....
ReplyDeleteyeah,but given is 34 and szczesny is 20,add another 4 yrs...we get at 38 and 24 ,by that time AW will have sold Given and leave the spot for szczesny....so,whats the oint of schwarzer,he is 37 and lets face it ,he is no Vandersar...add 4 more and who knos what we will get...Schwarxer is better than almunia,but everybody agrees that this is a short0term transfer,lets go for Given..thats the best option we got...
ReplyDeleteMan city will simply not sell to us... Mancini is smarter than Hughes and unfortunately for us its the smart thing to do for them....
