Couple of things

1.) Krancjar... I really hope we sign him in the summer ! who agrees and would he come? I think he's great, put him and Joey in the centre and get a new right sided player - barnetta possibly?

2.) Ranger... I see flashes of real brilliance in his play and i'm not just aying this because Carrolls gone, but I think he has the potential to be better than Judas, he is great with the ball at his feet and has a bit of pace. If he can get his head screwed on right then he could be a gem (as we all know)

3.) My friends an arsenal fan, i was thinking we would lose today anyway. I just didn't want it to be too bad as to shatter team spirit/confidence, I said it also at 4-0 down. I hope we can get a goal at least to give us belief for the coming games. We needed this big time!! it's the club we all love and today they did us proud!! get in!!!!!

discuss .....

 

And Tiote????????????????????????

 

oooh very good point !! playing just behind. we'll have to go 4-3-3 , ben arfa and barnetta should cause havoc !

 

just to clear this up my formation would be 4-3-3

harper/forster

simpson collo staylor enrique

barton tiote krancjar

barnetta ranger (or bought ST) ben arfa

 

Forster can't kick and Ranger isn't good enough.

 

I don't care what people say, Ranger played a massive part in our come back, his power looked too much for Arsenal and it was because of his ability to hold up the ball and get into the areas that lead to our goals. That lay off for what would have been an amazing late winner by Nolan, was excellent.

 

Harper will still be good enough for a season, until (fingers crossed) forsters kicking improves. I would like to see a new striker admittedly - Pavluchenko, vagner love (not sure where he's at right now) defoe, carlton cole possibly.. sure there will be a few good strikers available for a reasonable price in the summer - 18 mill should get someone decent.
