Urgent: Signings Needed.

Yesterday was poor. Very poor. As Arsene said.

If im honest we have stepped back 2 seasons on that performance. It seems we are back at the stage were we were when we were losing away to the likes of Bolton, West Brom, Blackburn, Everton etc.

There was no grit in the defence, they didn't know where to put themselves, who to mark and what to do when the ball was delivered. The midfield was shocking, in not sure that that midfield would win an away game in the Championship, let alone the Premiership, Denilson was hopeless, Nasri wasn't in the game at all, he lacked the final ball, Eboue was probably the best of a poor bunch. At least he threatened on occasion, Walcott was poor again, he seems to just run and run, no matter what the direction, his development is starting to worry me.

The strikers were poor too, Adebayor dropped deep to try and influence the play but it didn't work, Van Persie was selfish with the set pieces, even his corners were poor. As i said yesterday, i don't know where he has gone.

Now when it comes to our prize assets it seems that we struggle to keep them, sod their age, class is perminant and a 33 year old pires is better than a 22 year old Eboue. Vieira was missed when he left, yes Cesc stepped up but we missed that force in midfield, Henry is missed, he was that special special player that could change a game in an instant.

Now we suffered after losing those players, but if we lost Fabregas we would be in dire dire straits, thats why we have to appease him. If he wants Xabi Alonso, give him Xabi Alonso. We could do a hell of a lot worse than buy this player i tell you, he is younger than you may think at 26 and would add another dimention to our attack, 3 midfielders that are good from range is a dangerous proposition for any defence. His passing is also fantasic.

Cesc also said;

"For me, Arsenal is Arsenal and this club has something special that no others have.

"We have to take care of it, that's why you have to be intelligent in your decisions "

Wenger can't afford to make a mistake now. We need an addition or 2, theres no denying that. Cesc trusts Wenger and believes he can guide the club to success. Arsene, don't fail him, for the sake of the club.

Now, onto something that really interests me. Tony Adams has again said how much he would like to manage Arsenal one day. And i think he would be a fucking great manager, we know Arsene wont be around forever and i think that recruiting TA back into the ranks would be a masterstroke, he can learn from the great man and it can only improve his management.

Don't laugh but I believe I am stronger in some areas and in others he is far greater than me."

Hes a confident guy and i think, in the future, he is a cert for the Arsenal management.

Theres also news of yet another Rosicky injury setback, he is set to miss the Czech's World Cup qualifier. I recon he is made out of breadsticks.

Now i don't trust BBC Sport, but this worries me, Maybe Wenger is just playing his usual games?

The Gossip columns are turfing out their usual shit. A paper claims that Djourou might me on his way to France on loan... I dont trust a source that cant spell his name right to be honest.

Also, apprently Xabi Alonso will cost 16 million.

Note: There is a poll currently going for 6 more days. Please take part and i will write about the results when it closes!


I would also like the thank the people that have helped me since i set this up.


Il be back this week with the latest news and why i think Spurs are immune to a 'crisis'.
