    So how DO we defend against Bale et al?

    Well as everyone seems in agreement that Simpson/R.Taylor are likely to struggle against Bale, Pards should show us he has some balls and drop them both. Bring in Jonas as a full back as we have plenty of wing options anyway.. Jonas-Taylor-Colo-Santon Obertan-Tiote-Cabaye Arfa-Best/Ba-Marveaux...

    Newcastle vs Blackburn - your team?

    Got to remember the same team that started at Villa also started against QPR and didn't do so great then! Simpson-Taylor-Colocinni-Jonas -------Tiote-----Cabaye------ -Obertan-Arfa-Best-Marveaux- Elliot,Raylor,Gosling,Guthrie,Lovenkrands,Ba,Sammeobi After his performance against...

    Staring XI for Arsenal?

    Interesting how you all have Simmo @ RB. He has been shakey to say the least in pre-season, I would be very tempted to start Gosling @ RB if it was down to me! Gosling-Taylor-Colochinni-Enrique Barton-Tiote-Cabaye Jonas-Ba-Marveaux with a bench of: Simpson, Williamson, Vukic, Ranger...

    Five Indispensables

    No 1 player is bigger than the club but for me in order of who must stay most: Enrique - Our best player... Fact.. Should be entering his best few years in football. Tiote - Such a solid first year in the PL, Should be entering his best few years in football. S.Taylor - Always a rock at the...

    Enrique tweet

    Notice he has gone missing again on facebook though, can't help but think the Jonas situation won't have helped him in a decision.

    We need a center back

    The image posted by the guy on here was linked off the daily mail website, probably on that page is the image of the "burst" bubble.

    if we signed barnetta would barton even make our first 11??

    From what I saw he never looked great playing anywhere for Chelski! Played on the right for the U21s recently and looked pretty awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os9nrVFHyhE - 2:26 - Cuts inside from a position on the right and hits one hell of a strike on his left boot.

    if we signed barnetta would barton even make our first 11??

    I don't watch alot of french football if I'm honest but from what I've read he is a box-box midfielder, so in the formation I've got above I would see him more as competition for where I've put Joey... Watched Sturridge in the U21s last week in which we played a 4-3-3, with Sturridge on the...

    if we signed barnetta would barton even make our first 11??

    I think we can all be in agreement we have plenty of LW options now at the club. Jonas, Marveux, Ferguson and if needed Arfa. For me we only have makeshift right wingers, Barton, Arfa (Best as CAM) Jonas (Needs to play on the left to hook up with Enrique) and Routledge who isn't a regular...

    if we signed barnetta would barton even make our first 11??

    Finally someone talks some sense! I really don't rate Barnetta, I watched a few of the Swiss Euro qualifiers again a few days back and it appears all this guy is good at is diving! Not the sort of player I want to see playing for the toon, definitely give Jonas a run for his money for a BAFTA.

    We need a center back

    HaHa! @ Smudger, don't think we should get rid of S.Taylor or Simpson either, but S.Taylor was out for alot of last season as was Kadar if we get into the same situation again it only takes a litle knock for Willo to pick up or Colo returning to his 2008 form for us to need another CB!

    We need a center back

    Zapata would be a great signing, also plays RB with ease, would give alot more options at the back. Doubt he would want to come here though, but maybe if we were able to get rid of Smith/Perch and Xisco's we could tempt him with a massive wage packet. (Don't burst my bubble with the salary cap...
