I'm with Augie on this. Buy a good AM(two footed no 10) and push him out on the wing ....Well done Arsene. But if you actually look at positions on the pitch(not that I'm making excuses), no.10 is probably the only postion where you can have a "lazy" player. The traditional 10 didn't have to track back to make any tackles, but when going forward, we needed his "two-footed-ness" to break down opposition, which Wenger didn't feel the need to exploit
I feel AA23 has made his own bed, but Wenger has added to it too
I feel Wenger assembled the bed but Arshavin made it.

How does that sound?
Scary
yep...but the metaphorical is not as scary as the literal.
Squillaci is keen to return to France. The defender told Var-Matin: "I am experiencing this situation which I am not enjoying. Given offers, I will leave, possibly during the window or else I will wait until June. Marseille, Nice, Monaco, Ajaccio and Bastia are the clubs who are talking to me. I am 32, I have two or three good seasons left in me."
This couldnt be true could it - mr morality and holier than thou wouldnt speak about a player contracted to another club in an effort to unsettle him would he ? Surely it is only other clubs that are after our players that behave that way no ?

Exactly augie mate and we all wet ourselves when barca tap up one of ours
Come on....nowhere in any of our history have we behaved like the barca *word censored*, every single one of their players, the manager, directors all beg their transfer target via any and every form of media they can.
Even putting their shite shirts on one of our players......we are not anything like that in any way shape or form.

Yeah they are but going public surely unsettles the player if these talks havent taken place
Don't see how you can tap up a player that can talk to any club he wishes? We're entitled to contact him/his agent directly which must be more "unsettling" then articles in newspapers?
That boy had unbelievable talent and vision but the c**t in charge fcuked him about royally throughout his time with us - firstly he inexcusably dropped him for the fa cup semi v the chavs purely cos he couldnt play 4 days later in the champs lge (
