Henry Coming Back???

[frankbutcher]

We need "cover for Gervinho" do we?
WRONG. Gervinho would be cleaning boots at Man United, driving the team bus at Citeh and wouldn't get in the Spuds team. So no, we need Gervinho to Be the cover.

You really are a quality wind up merchant, i'm not biting. This statement merely proves the fact that you are on here to try and p*ss people off as this is one of the biggest bullshit statements to ever come out of your fingertips.

The way you bang on about united and know so much about them makes me think you perhaps arent a spud after all and perhaps a plastic manc.

I agree completely about Gervinho he is absolute pure dung and no way would he be part of any of the above mentioned first team

RockyNumber7 - you are a disgrace to your own username.

Rocky was a WINNER. He hated losing. You sir are a prize LOSER.

Wake up, smell the bulllshit and see that we are going NOWHERE.

People like RNo7 are the reason for the malaise at The Arsenal.

PEOPLE WHO HOPE FOR FIRST PLACE BUT ACCEPT SECOND PLACE END UP WITH SECOND PLACE. AIM LOW, FINISH LOW.

Brilliant post, what I've been trying to say about easily pleased fans for ages. We need standards, we used to be a big club.
Now sucking off Song and Gervinho?

PS Frank you MANC!

I'd love the Manc's trophy cabinet.

Baba - If IWGM8 and augie believe Gervinhos dung thats their opinion, you however know exactly what team, formation and who was up for what award four years ago with regards to the manc shite is why i think u are a plastic manc on the wind up.

Frank - if you believe that my original point of thinking that giving Henry a two month contract to cover a player that we have just invested a vast amount of cash on who is due to disappear for 6 weeks rather than spend further millions on another player is an insult to Rocky than again thats up to you.

I however maintain my original point thats been overlooked by Baba's ramblings. That in the short term and as long as other areas are stengthened with quality where needed then having Henry come in for two months whilst Gervinho is at the ACN makes sense.

Lay off Rocky N7, I dont know him but hes a really good poster.

Although I do also think Gervinho is pants. Remember the days when Kanu and Wiltord got stick from our fans, well they really shit all over the bumbling buffoon that is Gervinho.

There is no doubting the standards at the club have dropped. Remember how Wiltord got alot of stick, Gervinho is hailed by some our fans as one of our best players ala Walnut and Song.

Wiltord vs Gervinho/Walnutt, Gilberto/Petit/Parlour vs Song?

There is no comparision, and remember this is squad players from a few years ago, who are a million miles above our "best" players now!

Maybe its rose tinted specs but thats how I feel.

And your evidence that this will be done is.......?

[Rocky Number Seven]

Thanks IG, I have always agreed with everything you have said - I would just like to point out that i do not think G27 is world beater and get as frustrated as the next with his running into blind alleys and cross come shots but I have seen some promise and, like kos this year, expect him to kick on next year with a full season behind him. Time will tell but its too early to write him off.

EboueWhy, regarding evidence to potential signings - there are none, which is my point. Provided there are it makes sense. I do not honestly believe for one second that even Wenger thinks that (god forbid) if anything were to happen to RVP then Chamakh and Park are good enough to hold the front line. But in the same way he has to try and find somebody who is quality and is happy to play second fiddle to RVP or drop the 4-5-1/4-3-3 formation to accomodate somebody in a 4-4-2.

[Irish Gooner]

He may improve next year , but him and Walcott really aren't good enough right now!

I dont think they would threaten for a place in the Spurs or Chelsea side or Man City, this what we are up against.

The funny thing is the predictions of him when signed, is proven correct. He is a decentish player, no footballing intelligence, no ability in front of goal, clumsy, but quick, can dribble but hesitates and holds on too long ala Hleb. If some of us fat blokes on the computer can see this, and 6 million Wenger cant, then what is going on!

He was a signing that should be on the bench at most suddenly he was heading our attacking 3 along with Walnutt. Now I once liked Walnutt when he ws younger but his directness has been coached out of him, he might have made it as a striker, but that boat has sailed, and he is now a middle of the road player dependant on pace.

I honestly think Gervinho has the potential to be a top player. He needs to keep his head up in the box because he tends to just run in and do some blind pass to nobody, but the fact is he does get in those positions and he does take players on and get round the back which is a threat we haven't had since the likes of Pires.

Sure he's not the best finisher in the world, but that's partially confidence. On the whole, for his first half season in this league I think he's done well. I'm not saying he'll be world class or anything, but I think he's shown glimpses of being a really good player. If he can keep his head up, pick a pass, and become a little more consistent I think we could have a good player on our hands.

The thing about the club being run by non-Arsenal people, or even non-football people, is that a decision like re-signing TH14 will be viewed by them as a way of appeasing the fans.

I bet Gazidis and co. were nearly cracking one off at the 125 year celebrations and the Emirates Cup when they witnessed the hero's welcome that we gave to TH14.

Stan: "Hey Ivan, you say we might be able to get this Thierry guy on some kind of loan arrangement. Wow, think of all the ticket sales and new shirts"

We love TH14......but don't think we're fooled by this gimmick, any more than we were when we signed "super quality" Park immediately after our tour of Asia

So Rocky, lemme get this right; someone with the ability to form a cohesive argument by quoting facts, and with the ability to retain information (about different teams); is a WUM/Terrorist/Manc?

I honestly despair at your 'logic', it's hilarious. You made a statement that has been called out for the factually inaccurate tripe it is, you made accusations based on me calling Gervinho too rubbish to get in the Citeh subs bench - I then compared him to CIteh sub Adam Johnson (who cost just £8 mil compared to Gervinho £11 mil. Still though, how can Arsene compete? ). You've got nothing here, no recourse so best just leave it eh?

I will repeat what I said and I don't care if it angers you: Gervinho is shit. The fact that your original point is that we 'need cover' for Gervinho just shows what a shocking lack of standards there are at this club.
You're hailing a player who is inferior to what Wiltord was. People like Alex Song, who is inferior to what Grimandi was (it's true) and Parlous; are hailed as top players. Some idiot even compared Theo Walcott to Gareth Bale today!!!

Fact is you are exactly the kind of Emirates head-in-the-sand attendee that I just laugh at. Gervinho is the Ivory Coast's answer to Glenn Fucking Helder FFS. And look at you getting all precious because Arsene spent £11 mil on him. Pfffft....

Adam Johnson for £8 mil or Gervinho for £11 mil?
Gareth Bale for £6 mil or Theo Walcott for £12 mil?
Chamakh on wages of £65k a week or someone like Jovetic on his rumoured salary of £25k a week?

Ooooh but I forget, Arsene 'cannot compete'....


Wind your neck in son, you truly are a Disgrace to Rocky's great name. He'd have laughed a brainless tool like Gervinho outta Highbury back then.

The sad thing about this is that it's probably exactly what was said. I mean does anybody really think that Stanley knew of him before the (really lookalike) statue arrived?

I still prefer "The Ivorian Tony Daley" - in fact Baba we should get you your own Gooner shirt with '27 - Daleyinho" on the back. He is now officially called Daleyinho

[Dan_85]

I like the fact that the Leeds game is being touted as being his first game. Talk about a clever marketing ploy to shift tickets for a slow selling game on a Monday night that nobody gives a fuck about

Rocky7 will be first in line outside the Armoury, tent all pitched up so that he can be the first person to buy his new, 125th special edition, supa-dupa commemorative, return of the Prodigal son 'Henry 14' shirt.

Because you see, that's what the Real loyal fans do. They continue to line the pockets of a speculator renowned for asset stripping sports teams and winning nothing; and they help make Ivan Gazidis the third highest paid sports executive in the country.

The board will indeed be cracking one out right now reading the salivating of fans like Rocky7 talking up the prospect of re-signing MLS 'All-Star', 34 year old football pensioner Thierry Henry.

I reckon they'll be in for Wrighty next!

I've heard Stan and Ivan play this in the Diamond Club spa every single night as they laugh at the sheep:
