Fabregas Stays At Arsenal

Joe · 07-13-2006, 01:43 PM

Real Madrid and new President Calderon have failed in an attempt to sign Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal.

Julio Baptista had been used as leverage but as Fabregas' agent retorted, "they don't want Baptista, they want Cesc."

Sums it up well.

Awesome news for us gooners. Always knew it was utter nosence and this type of thing happens all the time in Spain with those damn presidentual elections.

But there is always the chance thats a young spanish kid could fall into the trick but thankfully he hasnt.

It would be a mjaor blunder for his career path if he did move now, just becomeing one of the first picks on teh Arsenal team sheet is what he should be aiming at right now, I think he is nearly there.

Is he not a Barca fan anyway?

I bet you are happy Stiles, looks like being a top player for you for many years to come.

And on a personal note, I am happy he is staying in the premiership, I always like to watch good players on MOTD

For me he would be the first midfielder i put down anyway. My opinion is that Gilberto and Rosicky will have to battle between themself for the other central midfielder spot. But of course thats just me.

Yeah he is. His vision for me is what makes him so good. Much like other great midfielders such as Zidane. And with some hope he might be the spanish version.

I think so. Im sure i heard some one comment he was Catalan born. So most properly.

sorry to all gooners but dont think your side will be good enough to contest top 5 with such a small squad and if wenger cant afford wages then i dont see how the side that finished 4th or 3rd last season can do better this season

Small squad? No smaller then last year. Three people have gone out so far. Yes there big names. Campbell, Pires and Bergkamp.

But we have another strenght in the midfield and up front. And the only place were thin would be at the back. In a press conference Wenger already stated that. Plus he is already working on bringing in another two players.

When did Wenger not being able to pay wages happen? I havent heard anything about our finacial situation.

This is how i see the state of the arsenal season.

Goalkeeping:
Lehmann has just got back off a strong WC so will be feeling great and Almundia is a decent enough cover. Plus we have Mart Poom should the worst happen.

Defence:
The full back positions are set in stone. With Clichy and Eboue proving they can step up if needed. The main concern comes from the central defence. Obviously Toure will be a lynchpin. Senderos would have been the number 2 defender had he not dislocated his shoulder and i think that means we will have to play Pascal Cygan *shudders* should we not make a signing. Cant forgot about Djourou. Yes signings will be needed, but so long as we do make signings we wont be too hard up.

Midfield:
Central midfielders have a nice mix. Fabregas is pushing for a start up spot. Rosicky will bring alot to the team and Gilberto will likely be under pressure from Fabregas to start. Plus with the two youngsters Flamini and Song will we come in midfield. On the wings we have a ton of options. Hleb, Van Persie (who is also versatile and can play up top) Same can be said for Reyes and not forgetting Freddie "Steady" Ljungberg. Ton of options there and one of our stronger areas. And just a quick note. Look out in the Craling Cup for a guy called Sebastian Larrson. I rate the guy highly.

Forwards:
No prizes for whoever guess's who will be our number one striker. What is important is who plays with him. Im thinking Van Persie has done enough for me. Reyes will push him all the time for a spot. Those are our three main strikers. Although Aliadiere and Theo Walcott will be there if needed.

So thats my review of Arsenal. Take of it as you wish. But for me i know were going to beat Newcastle.

Question is can we do that against Chelski, Manure and Liverpool. (those three i consider to be the main rivals.

Although Spuds do also have a good team

Poom was one of those short little contracts but he was a sub in our friendly against Barnet the other day. Alex Song was a proper signing and still there. Quite like him actually.

Rosicky. Yep the guy is fab. Like him alot. Hope he and Gilberto or Fabregas form a nice partnership.

Dont agree at all with your Lehmann comment. I think the guy is a solid goalkeeper and one of the top four in the league behind Van Dar Sar, Cech and Robinson. Yes his temperment will always be in question but you cant say he isnt a good keeper. He is the most agile 30+ year old in the premiership.

goldenHuddlestone · 07-20-2006, 08:19 PM

i rate Lehmann as the best goalkeeper in the Prem
