Cesc out for 4 months!

Arsenal
by Captain Fabtastic (U8139420) 23 December 2008
comment on the article

Nooooooooooooo!
Well that's us out of the title race tbh. Cesc is the focal point of our already flimsy midfield and I think he'll be sorely missed in the center of the park
I sure hope this encourages Wenger to buy someone in January

I suggest you all shut up and get behind the team. I've never come across such a bunch of moaning whinging fickle fans in all my life.

Do you honestly want Arsene to go out and buy for the sake of it and at any price.....if that's the case we will soon end up like Leeds.

Wrong. Leeds spunked millions on practically a whole team of players (Ferdinand, Keane, Viduka, Bowyer, Martyn, Hasselbaink, Mills, Wilcox, Bridges, Matteo), and the most expensive were purchased with money didn't have.

Asking Arsenal to spend some of the money they earned as the Britain's richest club on an experienced anchor man, centre half and keeper isn't really the same at all.

PS that's what you need, by the way:
Anchorman, centre-half, keeper. All experienced.

we are talking about the captain of arsenal and one of important players of arsenal who has been at arsenal more than four years now. i think arsenal will stuggle without him, i know ramsey is a good player but hes not enough to fill the gap. if arsene wenger had spend some money to a gd quality experienced player, would have filled the gap but still they would play as cesc plays his roll. he is very talented.

IMO Ramsey's or Merrida are the only players that can fill in for Fab and allow us to continue to play the best way we can play. Unfortunately both are inexperienced and give away the ball to often, then again as Denilson also is guilty of this it looks like we have a problem. Course the biggest problem is the lack of experience. IF Wenger doesn't want to put off the young talent by replacing with them great, forget Y.Toure and Cana then and bring in better players, cheaper and also better. Lets go for some oldies, how much would it honestly cost to get say Frings and Gattuso in January. Probable less then it would to sign Velosa or how much Madrid are paying for Diarra but those two with their experience could do more for this Arsenal side then both those expensive youngsters together. Come on Arsene bring experience to our midfield this January. So what if they have no sell on value recouping the £10M+ we're about to lose by not qualifying for the CL (which kinda means finishing 3rd this year) will easily cover for that...

.....or Spurs. Sorry mate but it won't happen. Too much quality and full coffers. In fact scenario is quite different. Our injured players will gradually come back stronger, we will find and add at least couple of exciting new players, our youngsters will mature and we shall be the best team on this planet!
Go and try to sabotage Man Utd or Chelsea. Oh yes, and Spurs will be relegated and join the likes of Leeds and Oxford Utd. Bye, bye!

Arsenal will never be a mediocre team like Spurs for there is to much quality there.
This forum was supposed to be for Arsenal fans but is full of Spurs fans comments trying to sabotage and spread the gloom so we end up booing our own players. So many so called Arsenal fans fall for that its unbelievable.
Shake it off guys. These are just teething aches. OK, it may take another season or even two but then Arsenal will be the best team around, watch this space.
You want it sooner? Get behind your team, give ALL players your support, back Arsene (there is no one better believe me) and stop moaning. Spur fans are loving it and they would want us where they are -in deep s....
The future is bright, the future is Arsenal!

This again is part of the pysochological problems that Arsenal are having. The fans and the team shouldn't be discouraged by this, we can still dominate its just a state of mind which Arsenal unfortunately seem to be full of.
