Anelka?

Anelka?

Post by Boomer »

Rumour has it he could be available on a free in January.

Personally I wouldn't want "Le Sulk" back and his form seems really shocking. Think we should aim highier.

That said he (like others) regrets leaving us and would sadly be a better back-up then Park or Chamakh. It wouldn't surprise me seeing AW doing this.

Me either, thought this earlier, end of the day, who would you rather see in the team if van Persie got injured? Anelka, Park or Chamuck?

Judging by the rumours he'll get a big pay day heading to Russia or China. Not even worth a punt IMO.

I hear Mark Randall isn't getting a game at Chesterfield lately!

Do you think that we should go in for this highly rated ex-Arsenal midfield starlet?

If his attitude was right then I would absolutely take him back - right now we have rvp and nobody else as regards goalscoring as witnessed by our dire showings v the likes of marseille at home

It's all well and good mocking the possible signing of le sulk but the reality is that we are one injury to rvp away from an absolute meltdown :worried: Is wenger gonna spend money in jan to bring in a quality striker ? Not fcuking likely so we would then be depending on park who has played fcuk all since his arrival and is inexperienced in this league or chamakh whose confidence is shook so badly he wouldnt hit a cows arse with a banjo :roll: :oops:

Simple fact is that we need a striker and seeing as wenger wont spend money on a quality striker then anelka is a real option.......sad but true

Last time someone else scored our only goal(s) of the game was spurs away and of the 5 he hasnt scored in we havent scored twice. Injuries aside RVP is going to have games when he is off form and others need to step up to the plate but it looks like Chamakh for one isnt up to it and Gervinho looks like he couldnt hit a barndoor.

I'ld just spend a bit of money and get Darren Bent. I get he's not 'world class' but he'ld do well for us if RVP got a knock and would be better than anything we've got.

Anelka isn't what he was.

Have you seen Anelka in the last two years he's fucking shite.He has lost his pace and that was what his game was about.Yes i agree Chamakh and Park are shit but surely we should be looking to sign quality not a mercenary looking for one last pay day who is well passed his best.But knowing Wenger he will probably sign him or Henry :oops:

If we are only looking for someone to fill in for RVP if/when he does get injured, should we be expecting a quality signing? Wenger will not change the system, so RVP will always start given the form he is in. Will a quality player want to join us just to sit on the bench?

Exactly. You won't get a player like Darren Bent coming to Arsenal and sitting on the bench for most of the season. Its the reason we signed Park.
We haven't even seen much of the guy and everyone is writing him off. Look at his goal against Bolton to he has it in him. People are too obsessed with how much a player costs.
