Hleb - stay or go?

Post by hanny73 »

Hleb had been linked with a move to Inter - I personally feel that he hasn't contributed enough to the team this season with either goals or assists. I just wanted to gauge the opinions regarding him leaving....

he can fuck off as well, if they dont want to wear the cannon on there chest then fuck off :roll:
anyway what does he bring to the team :?: lovely close control and a great dribbler but no end result , cant score goals and at times you wouldn't even know he was playing

Alex you gotta let us know
will you stay of will you go
If you stay there will be trouble (spotting you on the pitch in most game)
If you go there will be double (with the wage structure taking the blame)
So come on and let us know
will you stay or will you go

Is 7 goals in 3 years good enough?

No it isn't good enough for a winger, but he could find them from his hat he wears for Arsenal.

We should wait until he has a really good season, picks up player of the year award and then we should let him go :roll:

Stay. He will always be a player who divides opinion among fans and he needs to score more however I think he is one of the best at unlocking defences for others to profit from.

That and can we really afford to lose another player beyond Jens, Flamini, squad players and possibly Gilberto?

Stay.

One of the most technically proficient players in recent history, along with Bergkamp, Henry, Kanu and Vean Persie.

Has ability to pass through eye of needle, and hold ball up well.

Combines well with Adebayor when he plays in the Number Ten Role behind him for European games.

Needs more goals, and is also hampered by a central midfield which fail to run through fast enough, so he has to hold the ball up with no one to pass to.

Has been "playing on empty" since January..so rather than let him go I would like Gibbs, Traore and Walcott to fill in for him sometimes...if we rest him now and then we will get the best out of him.

But I know he is a love him or hate him player!
