Arsenal

It's Eduardo not Ecuador..


Adebayor?
No way!

[Barry]

I think they took one picture of Cesc and then photoshopped all the others. He's got the same pose and smile all of the pictures!

Interesting...he's a bit like Rosicky! Not sure if that is what we need! Shooting and scoring when the defense gives you so much room is not exactly too hard...but maybe I am discrediting the Croatian league there...we'll see!

We already have enough creativity, but he has a good strike on him, is a capable goalscorer, and would provide strong competition all across midfield. If it is true that we've agreed a deal for him to go through in January, I think that may suggest a possible change of formation, something similar to which Dinamo Zagreb use and what we implemented in the Champions League when we reached the final.

That formation doesn't sound too bad! maybe then Rosicky can get some shots in

And is that not the position van Persie plays in for Holland? I think!?

[Barry]

We play with actual wingers than 3 AMF's, but it's close. Although not entirely true, we've been known to stick Kuyt and Van Der Vaart on the wing and they aren't wingers

[JoeyM]

Considering at this time RVP is our biggest recognized goal threat, any formation that puts him further away from goal is a no for me.

[Jonny2J]

Really looking forward to seeing Eduardo every week.

The art of just being a goal scorer is dying out and I for one look forward to seeing one of a dying breed.

[Dragonfly]

RVP cutting in on his left foot isn't a bad idea, but it could end up being predictable, although he does have the dribbling ability to make shooting space. I think if we did have 3 AMF behind Eduardo, they be moving around all over the place, making room for a through ball. It could work.

[Nturtle]

Good thoughts guys. Well...it's a bit like Henry playing on the left and cutting right...as long as it's done well...it should be alright!

Interesting to see we won at Barnet. Well...I'm thinking that Wenger might give Randall or Barzarite a chance on the wing sometime soon...just so that we see some young players coming though...ha! Who knows?

Yeah..I'm waiting to see Eduardo in action as well...with service from Cesc etc...it should be perfect for him!

and RVP of course..

Wenger refuses to discuss future

Wenger has a year remaining on his current contract and following the departure of Thierry Henry and other uncertainty at the club there is doubt whether the Frenchman will enter into another deal with the Gunners.

Following a 2-0 friendly win against local side Barnet, Wenger told Sky Sports News: "I have shown my commitment in the past."

He added: "I will come out at the right moment... maybe when you don't ask me the question."

One person whose future is no longer in question is Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who has again rejected Real Madrid's advances, and Wenger can not see the player ever leaving the club.

"I think Cesc has shown many times that he is committed to the club and Cesc in my mind will never leave," said Wenger.

"He has six or seven years of contract left and we have lost Thierry Henry. We want to keep things as stable as possible."

I completely agree.

We should just stick to a 442 with a Van Persie/Eduardo partnership.

Although Liverpool have held some interest in Mancini, I would love us to sign him. He would be perfect for us.

[Berry]

Agreed.........

If liverpool do sign him .. why don't we try and sign juan roman riquelme... he's been in good form at the copa america and would be perfect as an AMF in a 4-3-2-1 formation!!!

Wouldn't he rather go to arsenal than everton!!!!!

[Gooner10]

Wonder what the fans thought of our first outing in the new white/redcurrant kit

[Viperized]

We don't need another central attacking player and Riquelme would be the last attacking midfielder that I'd ever consider.

He is a very good player but I highly doubt he would succeed in the Premiership.
