The deadline keeps getting closer and Arsenal don’t sign anybody, it’s making me nervous. I like Denilson and sometimes he looks good but then he invariably gives the ball away. I read today Wenger said he didn’t want to panic buy. no! panic! panic buy! do it now!

it is very sad that arsene wenger has decided for four seasons running to keep breaking the hearts of faithful arsenal fans.What in the world will the likes of Denilson,wilshere,Bendtner and Ramsey doing on Arsenals bench.These are players that better be sent on laon to go and gain more experience.Coming to Arsenal midfiled,the truth is thta we can replace Fabregas but can we replace Flamini,of Course no,Many a time people give kudos to the wrong players,Wenger has always praised Fabregas but what has Fabregas won with Arsenal since the exit of Viera?How come Arsenals midfield crumble against Liverpool in the second leg of of Champions league Quarter finals?Was it not when Flamini was injured that Liverpool came into the game?What about Ac Milan?Was it not Flamini that held Kaka.Why is it that Spain never allowed Fabregas in their midfield?
Wenger should reason.You can replace Fabregas but it is very difficult to replace Flamini.Another thing is that why did Wenger not send Diara on loan?If he had done this with the exit of Flamini,We would still have at least a vibrant midfield.Sometimes Wenger makes me laugh because he simply gambles to me and football has way passed gambling.Let him learn from Fergie.

Sabara, I disagree – Flamini offered more than defensive work, he controlled the game from midfield, allowing the creative players around him to shine. Without that, we don’t have enough of the ball.

The problem was not Flamini being missed, we never really had problems with defending through-out the match apart from bad defending by Gallas in a situation that should have been routine for him and cost us the goal.The problem was in the midfield getting the ball through to the strikers, 90% of the time there was a wayward pass from either Eboue and especially Denilson. We missed a creative midfielder in that match.

Blimey folks, enough with the ‘Wenger out’ stuff. You can see what he’s trying to do – it’s the same thing he does every year, which is wait until transfer deadline day and then get a cut price bargain.

The trouble is, that’s fine when you’ve got 2-3 players in a position and need to bolster it, not when you have no-one. The deadline day is five matches into the season and you can already be playing catch up by then.

say what you want,theo walcott is the reason we lost.he was simply shite,why he’s still playing in the 1st team,i don’t know.sagna was average for the first time and theo was the reason.i have
always read people going on about eboue,he was the team on saturday.

solution?theo in the reserves,song in the middle alongside cesc or denilson and gallas on the bench.trust djourou,he a serious defender in the making

It took time to get into this mess, it will take some time to climb out. Changes are needed but with our board change is unlikely without a major disruption. Who knows if we have money or not but could wenger even buy us out of this situation? Kompany had a great game, he’s slotted in way less than six months, trust me. One of wenger’s flaws is he can not let go of under achievers. I might be over-reacting but i’m angry and disappointed, we didn’t even fight for it and now the whole league knows just pressurize our midfield, deny space and they have a chance to beat us.
