BULLARD ISN'T A RIGHT WINGER AND WOULD OFFER US NOT MUCH MORE THAN EBOUE DOES IN THAT POSITION. THIS REMINDS OF THE LATTER DAYS OF GEORGE GRAHAM, WHERE BECAUSE OF THE BOARDS TIGHTNESS, PEOPLE WERE JUST HAPPY FOR ARSENAL TO SIGN ANYONE - REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY WERE ARSENAL QUALITY OR NOT!!

Have said it to you before IHH but if you are not careful you are going to be tagged as a pessimist

Slagging off the board like that

You are singing off the same hymn sheet as gus,rebel,myself and a few others now and that is a slippery path to take

I can't see why Bullard is rated so highly, never really see him do anything except score free kicks which he is good at. He's an average player and i really think we need to aim a little higher in the transfer market.

Don't think this kind of tomfoolery would go down well with Wenger or Galls either.

Bullard would make a useful squad player (though I agree with IHH that he's not a winger - right-wing's got to be given to Theo). Bullard has a decent range of passing, busts a gut and has a wicked free-kick.

But he's too old for Wenger to sign (almost 30 isn't he?).

As for nationality, I thought (through ancestry) he was German!

I rate him very highly i do but don't think Wenger would be interested in bringing him to the grove.

I suggested Bullard before as well. Now, Bullard would not win us the Champions League but he would get this vital points. He'd get the scrappy goal at Wigan which can give us 3 key points. He plays on the right-wing and the way it is now, he'd be a regular

He'd only cost around 3 million and I think he'll be happy to have around 15 starts (plus appearances off bench), with a good chance of medals.

I know that Bullard would not score the winning goals that will proper us to the Champions League. But it is no good having 15 world-class players (which we clearly don't) when you have no-one capable to step in.

I cant beleive what i'm reading

He would be welcome to the squad.

Could be right midfield or play instead of Cesc if Cesc was suspended, next to a defensive midfielder.

Too right, what next, Titus Bramble to support our defence?!?

Have to agree with IHH on this he is not Arsenal quality. Just because Eboue isnt good enough doesnt mean we have to replace him with someone like Bullard. Definate NO for Bullard as far as im concerned
