Pfft. Look at Eduardo's goal scoring record. Speaks for it's self. Anyone doubting his ability knows very little about football.
The boy will show what a class act he is; in these coming weeks.
I sincerely hope he does. I only heard about RvP a few hours back, so I'm still in a bit of shock and cursing the Dutch FA
Hopefully this will prove to be an opportunity for Eduardo or one of the others to step up and prove their worth, the alternative doesn't bear thinking about.
Why is it that just as we seem to be rising up does fate always seem to deliver a swift hard boot to our groin? We've got more casualties than a series of ER for FFS!!!

You're right, they are, but when are we going to get a rest from them? Just when we at last look like we might have a legit chance to do something real we get struck again
Some useless no game leaves us without RvP again! Bendtner will likely be out until the new year, so one of Eduardo, Theo or Vela needs to step up and fast.

mr playing mantis, i always thought your posts were shit before this thread, but now i got to admit you are taking the 'shittiness' to a whole new level!
he has a good international record , but i find that his first touch is very good and that is what we need to replace rvp, but the one thing i think that makes rvp special is how he can turn and wrigle into space, but then i like the way eddie hits the ball early
still think dudu would make the utd , chav and scousers bench if not start, i rate him high
wenger isgonna have to puttrust in him or walcot down the middle now, and i hope they come up with the goods
It sounds as if its not as bad as first thought, reports saying will be out 6 weeks rather than 3 months, will still be about 2months as will need to regain match fitness also but should be back late January if all goes well. Still wish he was injury free mind you
Robin himself says it'll be four to six weeks. That's good news considering the lengths of time being thrown around by other sources. Could even see him back in January.

Wasnt Rosicky meant to be out for days rather than weeks before having 18 months out? I must admit with RVP' injury record and this seems a bad injury something tells me its gonna long lay off
Consisting of a number more than two but not very many,
Several people were present when the event took place.
hope that clears up that
So, what you're saying is that I was right and Augie & **** were wrong!
Typical rosetinter......always looking to score brownie points by claiming they are right Anyway presumably wiktionary is a sister/brother website of wikapedia and we all know how their bullshit can be edited or changed by anybody so I cannot take their word for it In other words I aint wrong yet

Yes in Wenger's press conference at the time he said he would be back in 8 to 12 days
I don't think any one who knows anyhting about football could question Eduardo's class, but equally I don't think any one who hasn't got their head stuck up Wengers arse, could deny that he is simply too injury prone,I'm not just talking about his leg break.. The player hasn't managed 3 consecutive full shifts since he arrived. So hardly likely to see us through this difficult spell.
The problem is Wenger failed to replace greedy balls, so we were always an injury away from a crisis in the striker department, given the quality and fitness (or lack of it) in that area.
The defensive midfield role is another crisis in waiting, and any one who thinks that Diaby or Denilson can fill this role simply doesn't have a fucking clue what they are talking about.
Diaby has had more than enough oppurtunities and has proved beyond any doubt that he is shite, whilst Denilson can't tackle and is physically lacking for that role, no matter what opta statistics or whatever might suggest to the contrary.
That rvp is gonna be a huge loss for us cannot be denied as he was at last beginning to put a consistant run of games together and was getting goals into the bargain. I still stand by my previous statements though that we have yet to see him strike up a decent partnership with any of the players he has played with and there has been many. However the thing is though that right now we dont have anybody fit in the club equipped to play the role he was playing - if wenger now reverted to a 4-4-2 with arshavin in the old Bergkamp role then maybe this isnt such a bad thing but wenger being as stubborn as he is we will probably see him trying to put another square peg in a round hole
I am obviously not just saying this now but I have to say that replacing the greedy *word censored* last summer would have been down my list of priorities. Yes it would have been great if we spent the money buying a proven top quality striker but buying someone like chewbacka (from bordeaux) doesnt make sense to me when we have the likes of eduardo, vela and theo yet to get a proper chance up front(although all 3 are far more suited to a 4-4-2 strikers role if truth be told). The big priority last summer was the same as it was the previous summer and should still be the priority now......we need a top quality keeper and DM So while the loss of rvp is great it still is not the priority imo

Admitted replacing greedy may not have been a priority, it was still an obvious weakness in depth, as i've pointed out with ED, as for bendtner I still don't believe he is good enough, as regards Vela he seems to have disappeared off the radar and I think something isn't right and I can see him being on the move in January.
god i hope not
