Too Proud For Manchester City's Cast Offs?

Two years ago I would have said it would be unreal to even suggest signing any of Manchester City's cast offs.

Now I'd probably welcome one or two!

City are signing anything that moves and with this new 25-man squad rule coming in force, and baring in mind they have about 326 players in their camp, they are gonna need to offload a few.

I know Arsene Wenger isn't going to scroll through Arsenal News Now, see the title of this blog and think to himself, hmm that Wrighty7 fella has given me an idea now, but the thought may have crossed his mind to raid the blue half of Manchester.

Of course Manchester City might not want to help a rival by selling us any players but they have to sell and Arsenal need to buy.

It could be the perfect solution!

I can think of one or two I'd gladly take off their hands.

People say Micah Richards has gone backwards but I'd snap him up in a flash. Form is temporary, class is permanent. I honestly think he could be a very good partner to Thomas Vermaelen.

And he is a Gooner too.

We need a keeper. Neither Joe Hart or Shat Given will settle for a place on the bench. Maybe either of those two could be an option. I'd prefer Hart but I'd still be happy with Given.

Do we need to strengthen in defensive midfield? Alex Song has come on leaps and bounds and Emmanuel Frimpong looks to have a bright future. Are they enough?

Manchester City have about a million of this type of player, especially now Yaya Toure has joined. Could Nigel De Jong be an option? Stephen Ireland perhaps? Both could be surplus to requirements at City now.

Obviously this is a fantasy post. But would you take any of their 'unwanted' players?

Keep it Goonerish..........

We could sign 3 players from Man city, Hart/Given Richards and De Jong, although I wouldn't sign Richards.

After listening to Wengers comments after todays game, I am convinced that he will NOT sign any new players.

He believes he already has the players to mount a title bid.

He said he wants 1 or 2 more, so what you are on about is anyone's guess?

I understand Barca have released Rafa Marquez...wouldn't he be an asset to our defence line?

Marquez played DM for Mexico in the World Cup. I suppose he's an option, but I don't think he is the player he used to be, and we don't need another Silvestre-type player in the squad.

@annon 20:48 Saying we are going to buy and buying are two different things.

Regardless the last comments were.

"We have quality goalkeepers, we know that, it is (important) to produce these kind of performances in every single game. That's what the top level is about."

- I draw from that, that he is happy with our current keepers.

When asked about money

"Have the other clubs more money or less money? It is not important," he said. "It is whether the players are better players or lesser players and I think we can compete with the players we have."

Have no idea who's in & out at ManCity but if Kompany's going - he'd would be the one for me - play DM or CB.
We're not getting a keeper I know it!

So basically it doesnt matter to you what he says if you disregard it! Sp why draw conclusions from other comments Wenger makes then? You cant have it both ways!

Paul said...

Listen that guy Messi is so keen to play with Cesc - maybe he should come to the Ems - then he'll be able to play to his hearts content - if he gets in the team!

Haha! Nice one Paul!

I will be pissed off if there aint at least 2 more signings and I do hope we dont fuck about haggling and trying to save a few quid!

Wenger has said that we are “short numebers”, so he will probably sign some crap defender

aparantley they do not have to sell at all. And they certainly would not sell to Arsenal. they rather sell to a club that was not in direct competition.

why on earth would you not sign richards. He showed amazing form before and plus he IS an arsenal fan so you KNOW he will give his all everytime he puts on the shirt, unlike some of the players in the first team....

ahah Shat Given

Richards is more interested in larging it, flashing his cash and partying. he would be a terrible signing. Him and London would be a bad mix, what with all the distractions! He'd go right off the rails like Adriano did in Milan.

Kompany, De Jong or ireland on the other hand...

Kompany, Given and Wright Phillips i wouldnt mind.

Richards is not a footballer. He is a big, strong athlete but has no concept of the game of football. My cat has more defensive nous than him.

Why do people make such ridiculous suggestions and then criticize Wenger for not being a fool?

I hear that Richards is more into his DJing than playing football, and his ego is big and growing. He has a dip in form because of the time spent on DJ work rather than effort in training.

Kompany would be perfect for the gunners

Joppa Road said...

I don't think he will buy anyone now. More lies.
