Reaction to the move from two different Arsenal Americans:
Galaxy Gooner says:
“Since the chances of me getting Arsene Wenger to explain this to me in my face are about as remote as Tottnumb qualifying for the Champions League……can someone please explain the logic of letting Stuart Taylor leave for Aston Villa and keeping Manuel Almunia as back up to Jens Lehmann?
I thought after the dire performance he put in between the sticks at home to Manure last season that Almunia was on his way out of THOF.
Surely, this upcoming season that starts...

SHOULD HE STAY OR SHOULD HE GO…
The Mid-field
Note: This obviously pre-dates the Hleb signing(by the way I say…STAY)
LJUNGBERG: Freddie when healthy had a VERY good season, and was our best player from October to December. Freddie is clearly committed to the cause and yet, that health history leaves me a little uneasy, and surely factors into our pursuit of right-sided players. I think Freddie is the one regular I would readily offer in a player-swap for someone like Trezeguet with some cash. But I have no problem with Freddie in our team provided we have better...

As they say on sports-talk radio, first-time, long-time here. Anyway, I just read on Soccernet that we’ve made a 14 million pound bid for Brazillian striker, Robinho. Just wondering if anyone’s seen him in action and how good this kid is.
The Soccernet article.

Assuming we make one significant summer acquisitions (Hleb probably), plus some younger longer-term talents), and a couple of departures (Cygan, Taylor), here?s my expected Arsene depth-chart for ?05/?06. I expect AW to convince Cole to stay. Hoping Pires will be here, but getting more concerned. Love the Gilberto/Cesc combo, but probably won?t see it much except for the inevitable Vieira injuries/suspension. Would love to see Owen, but very unlikely. Guti could happen - it would be a more traditional Wenger experienced acquisition: very talented, but somewhat out of favor with his current...

I was born in Finsbury Park, i now have a season ticket in the mighty North bank. Women, work and pretty much everything comes second to Arsenal football club. You all know how close the F.A. cup final was, however sitting there in Cardiff watching the United scum batter our goal I was wondering what was keeping the ball out of the net (apart from jens, kolo and senderos). Now I know it was you guys in America your collective support meant sooo much to our lads and meant big pat vieira could lift our prize. Keep up the good work we will need you for next season when we WILL beat those cheats...

Ed. Note - Sorry, a couple of days old, but still interesting…
There I was this morning (Tuesday) getting ready for work. I turn the telly onto the local morning show on KTTV FOX channel 11 at 7am to watch GOOD DAY L.A where they have breaking news on a fire at Legends Sports Bar at Belmont Shores when all of a sudden anchors Steve Edwards and Jillian Barberie are talking about Arsenal and Manchester United!!!!! I literally had to pinch myself to believe what I was hearing. Although Ms Barberie said she hadn’t heard of Arsenal before, but knows of United….Mr Edwards...

One thing of Arsene Wenger is - for the Gooners who supported Arsenal prior to his arrival, I believe would appreicate more on what he has contributed to AFC.
I don’t care which country he’s coming from, or whether he loves to buy French or English players, the thing MATTERS to me is our performance on the pitch. Take away all the trophies he has won (it’s still been like a dream to me as when i started supporting Arsenal during the 80s, I could have never dreamed of all those trophies), just look at THE WAY we play on the pitch. At times our football could be breath-taking....

Arsenal News Review
I know Scotty reads ANR. For those of you who don’t you should check it out, the guy is pretty good although he tends to ramble into personal life & political beliefs a tad much… but that’s usually interesting reading as well despite me disagreeing with most of his political views.
