The Wish List

My main wish now is for the deadwood to clear.

Injury free campaign for Diaby and Wilshere.

My main wish now is for the deadwood to clear.

Exactly.
Four weeks left to get rid of the likes of Squillaci, Bendtner, Arshavin and possibly Park.

And those who don't want to stay here, they're deadwood as well.

yep agreed. If we clear ALL the deadwoods we still might have space to buy one or two youngsters in (u21 kind).

Chamakh, Park, Arshavin, Squillaci, Bendtner, Mannone, Eastmond.

Then next year we can sell Diaby, Djourou, Fabianski and Denilson as well predictably. Would have almost no deadwoods left.

Isco(176cm 74kg) looks stronger than Wilshere(173cm 68kg) physically. He is more similar to Nasri(177cm, 75kg) in stature

Height and weight aren't the guaranteed indicators of strength. To use an extreme example, I'm taller and weigh more than Floyd Mayweather but he's most likely stronger than me. There are lot of other factors that contribute to a player's strength.

Not sure why you chose to give that example. Height and weight give you an idea if you're comparing professional athletes. Isco looks stocky from what I've seen and so is Wilshere who will gain some muscle over the next couple of years

Agree with your post, except Isco is actually younger than Jack.

I must've mixed him up with someone else. He is 20 indeed.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Do you think people/players are fully grown/developed at 20?

How's he referring to his mental development when we're talking about his height?

Cool.

 

[jones]

He's small because he's young

That's the quote that sparked the discussion.

Neil Taylor. Can cover Sagna at right back when injured e.g start of the season. He can then play left back and he seems both technically and positionaly good, meaning we would be strong at the back, while he is also good going forward.
He was linked to us earlier this year so it is somewhat realistic.

 

[Invincible]

I'm sure the names Cazorla and Sahin have been mentioned many a time in this thread, so to all fellow wish-listers who hopelessly fantasized about those two, rejoice boys, for your dream is about to come true!

I've seen Neymar's name bandied about but never really watched him. Saw him today and was impressed, so I youtubed the kid and.....

Looks incredible. No wonder ridiculous fees are being bandied about.

 

[darkgunner]

Neymar's a bit overrated at the moment, he's shown nowhere as much skill as Messi or Ronaldo. Neymar can do all those tricks, but on the pitch, he's a bit hot and cold.

 

[ArsenalDNA]

Neymar is something special.

Obviously no one will really know how good he is till he's playing in Europe, but he's ticking all he boxes so far.

Would love to see him in the PL but considering the sort of interest he's had from Barcelona and Real I can't see it happening.

 

[Hunta]

He's a diving ******, if he come to England he'd ruin his career.

 

[mavelous]

The problem is half of those 'dives' are legit because of his quick feet and skill, so refs will have a hard time, just like with ronaldo. either way his contribution more outweighs his theatrics

 

[MDGoonah41]

my wish is for cazorla and sahin to be signed, sealed and delivered by wednesday so they can travel for the last friendly and get settled before the season starts.

This ****ing this!

We will be such a laughing stock if this doesnt go through, especially since these players can really improve us.

 

[Anzac]

I'm confident on Cazorla,
but if for some reason Sahin doesn't go ahead IMO we MUST act quickly to secure another signing in the deeper role - M'Vila or similar.
I'd also like to see more talk/action re VDW & Sakho.

 

[Kanonier]

Neymar is a diver and he is all hype. Sure he has very nice tricks, but he is not as effective as other players and he lacks the strength and pace to make it big. I would not pay the ridiculous fees for a player like Neymar.
