WE ARE THE ARSENAL Cazorla, Giroud and Podolski

[SammyDroppedHisShorts]

It's not what it was but it is what it is...Arsenal Football Club

And my love for that club out weighs any owner, manager, player or fan......my love is for Arsenal 1886, Victoria Concordia Crescit. NEVER forgetting that green patch of grass I saw as a seven year old when reaching the top of the North Bank steps!

It's not the same club but...it is the same club. It's red and white, it's the Gunners, it's the heritage, the class the THE. I won't let no foreign mercenary upset me...because I love this club...no matter it's guise it's like my brother, my dad, my uncle, my kids.......you hate them sometimes, they piss you off, the let you down, they say bad things, but you still love them....you still do what you can to see them, you even spend money on them....

I'd rather be an Arsenal fan than any other fan......


Now these three young men have come to Arsenal and bring to the table class, guile, skill, goals and most of all plan A and Plan B.

Giroud to me is a real gem that will be polished and will reap a hatful of goals. I like the 45 minutes he produced in Cologne. It suggests to me that his aerial power will be far more explosive than that of Chamakh and Bendtner. Albeit one chance that the keeper tipped over on Sunday, his ability to get his head on crosses is one I haven't seen for sometime. In fact I'd go as far to say he reminds me of Alan Smith. If he can be half the player Smudger was then I feel we have made a very significant signing.

Also remember...he is a winner...something our changing room now lacks totally.

Santiago Cazorla is a fantastic player. I have watched Spanish football extensively over the lat couple of years and I can assure any doubters that this lad is the bollocks. He has the ability to lock defences with precision and I firmly believe he will bring to the table the assists ratio both Fabregas and van Persie attributed.

Also.....he is a winner.

Podolski well I think people many people on here underestimate this guy. You don't lead a German attack one hundred times and be useless. I have always rated this lad and I truly feel that he is ideal for us. I think RVP will be long forgotten when we sing He scores what he wants Lukas Poldolski scores when he wants.

Also....He is a goal scoring machine and we will see as many goals from him as we did RVP. I will even hasten to say welcome to our next one hundred goals for the club player.

What am I trying to say is this. We are all sore and annoyed by this latest transfer fiasco and we all know that in our hearts RVP left because he felt that his chances of winning things were best suited at OT. BUT.....I feel he has made a very big error.


Here is to a season that may surprise many. Stay safe on your trips to other grounds. Sing your hearts out for the name on the shirt that is Arsenal


And remember....fuck em all......

Prepare to be ridiculed for showing a bit of optimism...

Agree though, should be a more balanced team with more chances created and more people scoring goals. Still concerned at our defence and that we don't have enough strikers to get out of this rigid 4-5-1 but I'm excited to see Giroud and I reckon Cazorla is signing of the summer. Let's be honest we're not going to win the league and that hurts to say before a ball's even been kicked, but how often have teams closed up 19 point gaps in one season?

Ridicule away

But I refuse to let the current shit get me down.

So my positive angle is for those who wish to express their hopes for seeing these three signings blossom which I feel they will.

[Revgoon89]

They'll all flop, get injured, fail to score or otherwise fuck off in two seasons

Someone had to say it.

But seriously, I wish them all the best, and it's nice to have some signings to feel optimistic about for once.

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

can we keep red and barbie off of this thread


Agree that we we will be more balanced, am pissed off about rvp and where he went but hopefully he will be forgotten about (and fekin injured) once these guys start producing quality performances.......please

[SammyDroppedHisShorts]

I do feel that they have a fantastic spread of experience in some of the hotbeds of world football.

I'd like to add that the influence of Steve Bould is already showing signs of prospects. That first goal in Cologne is a perfe t example, near post corner flicked on by Per and in came the Verminator just like big TA6 back in the day!

[Gunnersaurus]

Agree with this post, forget what's happened, these 3 are good additions and stop shit players getting minutes which is a bigger plus.

[Batflyer]

I don't know if Giroud will be any good, but I'm sure Podolski and Cazorla will be fantastic for us.
The Euros were horrible, so I'm happy the season is finally getting started.

COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

[Goonuz71]

They come .................They go ................
But we stay because WE KNOW LOYALTY.......
RED and WHITE......YELLOW and BLUE
We Are THE ARSENAL
