Arsenal, not good enough, simple as that.

We may not like this analysis coming from a Spurs fan but if you took out RVP's goals, we would have a goal difference of -6 and 41 points, so he's not too wide of the mark.

 

so we would be playing with 10 men all season

 

Presumably someone else would have scored some of those. If Van Persie wasn't on the pitch the other players wouldn't just stare blankly at each other without a clue what to do when awarded a penalty.

 

.

 

No, we'd be playing with Chamakh as main striker and he's useless, don't be so naive.

 

Most of Van Persie's goal could easily be scored by any striker so don't be so daft

 

The point is if we knew he wouldn't be there we would look at other options.

 

That's taking it a bit too literally

 

Really?

Well, none that we have in case you hadn't noticed.


Please tell me one thing Oxo. Are you really contented with what we have? If so may I suggest that this is very pro outlook for an Arsenal fan who indeed should be hoping and expecting more.


Wandering Yid is absolutely right and I will go further. Arsene is not just moronic to sell those key players. He is a complete moron who is clueless as to how to shape a winning side. However he isn't too bad at picking one with an excellent goalscorer but with a defence leakier than a sieve and players who have neither vision nor ambition.

 

If RVP had been injured Chamakh is the only option we have.

 

Without RVP we would be 6th or 7th.

 

Dont be silly - many of his goals this year have been world class and very very few strikers would have scored them - start with his goals against Liverpool, Spurs, and Everton.

 

I'd say about 8 of his goals were World Class

 

Thats quite a few - woul dChamakh have scored them? Without them, where would we be - 10 points worse off?
