Fredrik Ljungberg (Out)

[Paddy from Sweden]

Big_Cake,

Don't take it for gospel. I don't believe it one bit. Arsenal want money not players that AW hasn't planned for.

 

[Legend#1]

No way will we get Koldrup.

Or Bojinov.

It'll be strictly cash.

 

[Beany]

All I know is that if Freddie leaves, we're gonna be pretty short on decent terrace songs...

 

[gunnerGH]

Did bojinov play last season as striker or winger?

If winger then could be great deal

 

[Big_Cake]

Both

 

[gunnerGH]

would be good then. versatile player. just what we need

 

[Viper]

Playing Modric wide right wouldn't be an improvent on Hleb. Modric is at his best when he plays in central midfield.

At least he has a good shot on him unlike Hleb, who probably would still pass the ball than shoot if his life depended on it.

Don't worry about our Freddy .. the guy is going to heaven. Have you seen Florence? It is stunning, with some of the coolest ,most gorgeous restaurants, bars and generally fantastic renaisance stuff - it is out there..

If there was a great place to be a celebrity 30 yo with well known undies ... that is it. The girls .. Man.

30k a week to live there? I am sure he will love it.

It was noticeable while watching a compliation of Freddie's goals on youtube yesterday, how many incredible assists the Dutch Master had.
I always used to say that Freddie was pretty useless unless he had Bergie playing with him, no disprespect to Freddie, just that Dennis had the vision to utilise him.

 

[number_0]

Even though freddie dropped in form, he was still a handy player to have around, i thought he did in the later part of the season against west ham and bolton, before he went out again.
and that pass for Ade's offside goal at WHL was class.
but if we have a replacement lined up i am all for him leaving, but if not :roll:

Fiorentina offer players, cash for Arsenal's Ljungberg
tribalfooball.com - July 11, 2007

Fiorentina are offering cash plus a player for Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg.
La Nazione says Fiorentina yesterday offered £5 million plus one of Valeri Bojinov or Per Kroldrup in exchange for the Swede.

The stumbling block could for Ljungberg's wages, with Fiorentina only prepared to offer him a deal worth a clear £700,000-a-year less than what he earns with the Gunners.

 

[Gurgen]

I don't for a second believe they offered 5m + Bojinov for Freddie. Surely nobody is that stupid?

 

[YeahBee]

There is of course the possibility that Freddie will be re-juvenated in Tuscany and score 8-10 goals next season. However, that seems very remote and even if it were to happen - right now, the best decision for Arsenal football club seems clear.

he could score that if played as a winger/striker, doesn't Fiorentina play 4-3-3 or 3-4-3?

 

[YeahBee]

I don't for a second believe they offered 5m + Bojinov for Freddie. Surely nobody is that stupid?

A straight swap would be marvellous don't you think? any objections?

yep definitely.
the move vs juve epitomises that.. what skill by dennis to put freddy through.
i also found he and pires didnt always play great together and there best form was when the other was injured

 

[Clrnc]

maybe there are still clubs that highly rates ljungberg. he is 28/29 right? he might be rated at his peak

straight swap would already be good, 5m + bojinov would be deal of the century. do we have the option to choose other players? fiorentina has good wingers

oh and latest news is that ljungberg agent confirms he is on the verge of leaving arsenal. another of our oldies leaves, which i surprisingly feels sudden sadness about him leaving.

 

[MDGoonah41]

If Wenger somehow gets £5M + Bojinov for Freddie, the Board should give him a 20 year contract for as much money as he wants plus a stake of ownership in the Club.

If he did it would be a miracle, we would be lucky to get Mil for him.

 

[Clrnc]

marco you must be sad that finally ljungberg leaves arsenal.

although i am the one who always thinks ljungberg is better of leaving and that we are better off with others than ljungberg, i feel very sad. unexplainable.

maybe its because freddie has always been a loyal and fantastic servant. we are officially without any 2002 players correct?

 

[burnsjed]

I thought that if Bojinov was involved, we were the ones that were parting with money.
