Several recent posts have defended Wenger by stating that he’s been successful in developing players AND winning trophies as long as he’s been here, so let’s have faith and stay the course. For the most part, I’m in that camp.
However, I wonder if that philosophy is still viable in the ‘new Premiership’. Chelsea are not just spending money, they are spending crazy money. Plus they have a good manager. Man United continue to spend and have a good manager. Liverpool and spending and have a good manager. Spurs are spending and have a good manager. With...

Ed. Note - We’ve received plenty of comments from people complaining about too much negativity here. Well, we can only print what we receive. Personally, I don’t fully agree with the comments made here, but the point is to have open discussions…
Arsene Wenger’s managerial strengths and weaknesses have been called into question recently after he let Vieira leave and didn’t (or failed to) get a replacement. There has been a lot of discussion about his strengths - eye for young talent, astute money management, etc. I just wanted to debate on what are his perceived...

The arguement that we should improve our squad with signings or should not have sold Vieira as it underminded the club’s ambition and opens a potential door for our key players to exit from Highbury, in my opinion, has a basic error in logic.
Take Henry as an example. When he first joined Arsenal, we were hardly a team which had won trophies for fun. So, why then, were we AMBITIOUS enough for Titi then, but not now, after so many trophies we have won in recent years?
Secondly, if Titi had a problem with us handing too many chances to young players, let’s cast our...

So, it seems that Jeremie Aliadiere has left his loan spell with Celtic and decided to go to West Ham instead.
Neverminding the fact that, y’know, WE could always use another set of feet, I just wonder how good or ill bouncing around loan spells is going to be for his Arsenal career. Where to next if he decides Upton Park ain’t the place for him just like Parkhead?
I like the kid, would rather see him in our shirt.
What say you?

I heard media reports that David Bentley wants a transfer.I have seen his performances last season,and i really do think that he had a huge potential to be our right winger apart from Ljunberg.
That remains my personal opinion,though.I would want to know what do other fans think about it.
And the other thing which a lot of arsenal fans are missing is that,we are very much having our own version of two specialist’s in one position.

American Brothers (and Sisters),
Having been at THOF tonight for the Fulham game, believe me it was rarely comfortable and only when the third goal went in could we start to relax. Continuing the debate on JR14, I have been a big fan of his since his arrival and yes he does over elaborate at times but he has what it takes and his second half performance tonight was exceptional. What I cannot fathom out though is the lack of communication and appreciation between JR9 and TH14. Watch the next game closely and you’ll see TH14 clap, encourage and motivate everybody on the pitch EXCEPT...

I’m moving to Northfield, MN, but am less worried about the increased distance from the centre of the world (Highbury) because of this site, which I often read.
So, a simple question: are there any Gunners out there in the Northfield area or in Minneapolis? I signed up for Arsenal TV On Line but the stream is not the best and anyway the experience demands to be shared. TV is better. TV in a bar serving decent beer is best.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed he wants to sign a new goalkeeper.
However, the Arsenal boss insists Bayer Leverkusen keeper Rene Adler, who has been linked with the Gunners, was not bound for Highbury.
He confirmed: “We will sign a goalkeeper before the end of the transfer window but which one, I don’t know yet. It will not be [Adler] though.”
So Arsene is looking for a new keeper. I would much rather see a new keeper than seen Michael Owen in red. I think that finding a stronger and more consistant keeper than Jens will help make up for the...
