Keep The Faith



Hello everyone,

There's pretty much f*** all happening at the moment. As you all obviously know most of the squad is currently away on international duty (do away with international breaks this early, please!!). Keeping in view le boss' refusal to sign any player in the summer window, it has now become vital that none of our players pick up an injury of any sort between now and January otherwise any title hopes that we may have could fall to pieces.

Speaking of the transfer window, Arsene Wenger has sees no reason to worry despite not adding to the squad. He rather confidently said,

"We have the squad to cope with every problem we face during the season, I really think it's more interesting for us to look at our strengths and at our quality rather than looking outside. I know that makes headlines but it doesn't win games."

I'm not too sure I agree with the boss on this, what happens if Cesc were to get injured? What strengths is he referring to that could essentially replace the magnificient Cesc? Eboue? Denilson? Ramsey? Wilshire?

Peter Hill Wood also added:

"We have plenty of money but are not going to splash out stupidly - a lot of the prices clubs ask are ridiculous.

We've heard a lot about how the books need to be balanced and how we have the funds and blah blah but no one was asking for a 30m signing. All we wanted was a decent midfielder in the range of 8 to 10 m. Surely there was a player out there somewhere who fit the bill. Didn't we find a gem last season in Sagna who cost only 6.1 m!

It is not a hidden fact that the fans now want a trophy. They don't want to hear about balanced books anymore. Its just maddening to hear this talk all the time.

In othernews, Dos Santos admitted that Arsenal legend Thierry Henry would be one of the former team-mates he would most love to have at Shite lane.

“I can't pick one, even if you forced me to, because there are too many players to choose from. Ronaldinho, Messi, Henry, how do you choose between them?”

I must admit that mexican c*** has lost his mexican brain.

Moving on to injury news, which currently stands as:


  1. Diaby (13th Sep) Thigh
  2. Silvestre (13th Sep) Thigh
  3. Rosicky (27th Sep) Hamstring
  4. Bischoff (N/A) Groin
  5. Eduardo (Dec 08) Broken Leg + Dislocated Ankle

Not minding the last two, this is great news as two mid-fielders would be returning to fitness and adding depth and quality to our squad. Diaby on his day plays some good defensive football and is currently better than either Eboue or Denilson in that position and with him in the squad Fabregas will be able to play further up front in a position that he likes to.

Rosicky can play both central as well as wide and with him coming back into the squad, le boss will have more options in terms of team selection.

Right then.

Until Next time.

Godspeed.

I have a feeling ROSICKY gona play central mid,just recall EURO 04,he was really impressive for CZECHS back then and really thats the place he shud be employed on,can excel more overthere!

FLANKS gona be occupied by NASRI ,Eboue and THEO,so really cant see ROSICKY fitting in there!

obviously, he will have to come and slot into the middle. the problem is that he is a CAM as well. How good will he be defensively? Maybe in a 4-5-1 but not in the 4-4-2
