Gervinho....

Where do you get this from, even I don't like Happy Meals, it's all about the Chicken McLegend. ;)
WTF is a mclegend? I don't eat that shit, although I just took the little'un there on way home from school(none of this Jamie dribbly Oliver healthy eating Bollox for her!) and sat there Gettin hungrier and hungrier while she ate a burger. Nasty shit that leads to many hours in gym.

The happy meals are to distract eboue with the toy otherwise his ADHD kicks off
When ever Arsene takes the kids to mac donalds eboue always kicks off and ends up getting the boys and girls toy!

Comedy eboue eh

At least this means that if he comes then we'll know he REALLY wants to play for the Arsenal.....

That Citeh first eleven will be very much 15.

It's sad to think that a player will join a team to be a squad player and earn stupid money........why where are the players who just wanna play?

I know that I am wrong saying this cos I havent seen the guy play but I dont want gervinho to sign for us - I dont want any african to sign for us for the foreseeable future cos recent experiences have taught us that it isnt working plus we also have to factor in the anc for the next 2 seasons as well :roll: Of course I would make an exception for eto cos he is simply world class but other than that can we please leave the rest of them to ply their trade in france or whatever mickey mouse club they currently play for

This is Arsène-al Augie, so as things stands today, I'd rather we sign Gervinho who is at least proven in Ligue 1. It's this or another 16 years old from sri-lanka!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

The simple fact is that there is no reason for him to choose Arsenal. Coming to us would show a lack of ambition in both a financial sense and an aspirational sense. To be fair, he's not even anywhere near world class and if City want to pay him loads of money then good luck to the bloke. If he came to us, Wenger wouldn't play him until October, bang on about adjusting to English football, play him at right-back or in goal and then watch him lose confidence and form whilst all the time telling us about his amazing potential.

c'mon augie get a grip, you're starting to sound like you're suffering from a mental disorder. Dont want to sign any africans, because of eboue and song????. oh lawd!

We need a winger. Walcott has got better with 14 goals but we need better. Arshavin, is a joke of a player and had he left (and nasri staying) it would have been great for this team.

If gervinho is quality and he is a winger who can beat his man AND score goals then im all for it. Oh and look he is also a 6ft winger too!

Things are bad, but get a grip people, This board needs a dose of prozac!!!

Then again the lure of a warm bench and cash seems to be attractive to players these days.

Eboue, song and that greedy mercenary judas bastard that is now deemed unwanted at citeeh :roll: As I also said, you cannot ignore the fact that this guy is likely gonna to be gone to the anc for a full month in both of the next 2 seasons so how can that be a wise move ? Sign him, play for a few months and just as he is getting used to the prem league he has to fcuk off for a month and then he is back to square one when he returns :x I wont even mention the risk of maleria which 2 of his international team-mates contracted over the last 2 years on trips home :roll:

Arshavin is not a joke of a player....he is a joke of a winger but then again he isnt meant to be a winger :roll: Play him in his best position (behind the main striker) and you will see a different player but of course wenger's masterplan doesnt involve playing players in their proper positions :roll: :evil:

Finally the crucial point for me is your use of the phrase if gervinho is quality - dont feel right now we can fcuk about with any more if's - from a first 11 point of view and for a morale amongst the players type of view we need proven players who are ready to step up to the plate from day 1. We can maybe gamble on jenkinson and the ox with their youth but firstly we need proven quality experienced players for our younger players to learn from and who can make a difference now

What proven wingers can we get??? Even Sanchez who looks the bees knees is a kid who sets you about 30M, barca, utd, inter, chelsea all after him.

Adam Johnson? City aren't a charity.

Ashley Young, I'd take him, he is direct and scores goals, but somehow we dont want him.

Arshavin behind the striker? Just like the russians now realise, he is far too, careless to be trusted. Arshavin imo is not someone who can hide behind arsene's decisions. He gives the ball away more than song, he can't run after 10mins, can't beat his man, its like a very bad lionel messi impression as he tries to outwit a championship fullback and fails. Have you noticed even when he first came, he scored goals but was still giving the ball away for fun and not linking with teamsmates. He still passes to ghosts to this day Yes i don't like him one bit! :banghead:

I want proven quality, but out wide there is not much to choose from in terms of experience, they are all plucky kids, you wouldn't turn down Afellay would you if he was available? I think out wide we will have to gamble a bit. Even then gervinho is 24years old, 6ft,an international, who has just won his league. And unlike chamakh wont be free!

at the back there are experienced CBs around to buy, we better get one, Djourou and Kos still have a long way to go.

We need a striker, not a chamakh or a Bendtner but a striker, a goalscorer. Falcao, will cost us 25M+, thats the price we have to be willing to pay.

we can't fuck about with more gambles, but until peeps identify the players we should be getting can't see why people would knock back players if they are in a position we need.

And we need:

Wingers, a Striker, CB and a DM.

Feels like we're a ship retaining a lot of water because we carelessly ran aground, the only thing we can do, is not have a total mental melt down, because then we're all fucked.

He will go to City not because of ambition but because our club won't pay what Lille want, again, we expect clubs to sell us their best players for cheap but then we moan when teams under value ours.
