Who is FREDDY ADU?
Speedy and highly gifted, Adu became a super soccer prodigy in the early 2000s. He played his first international matches with the U.S. under-17 national team in March of 2003; he was only 13, making him the youngest national team player ever. Born in Ghana, Adu moved to the U.S. with his mother and brother at age 8 and became an American citizen in 2003. Adu's remarkable play has earned him comparsion to earlier teen wonders like Pele and Ronaldo. In November of 2003, Adu signed a six-year deal with Major League Soccer (MLS) and will join the team D.C. United for the 2004 season.
Extra credit: Some critics have questioned Adu's age, but U.S. officials have accepted his Ghanian birth certificate, which lists his birth date as 2 June 1989... In May of 2003, Adu signed a reported $1 million contract with shoe maker Nike.

Yes, it has been speculated that RM is Bentley's long term future.

Then atleast let us appreciate that Wenger has his own magic and may be after all that search not bearing sensible poverty, he went for Gilberto. As for now, I'll let him do his work and I enjoy my matches.

Right to Left: Hoyte, Toure, Campbell, Cole
Right to Left: Pennant, Vieira, Pires, Ljungberg
Hoyte and Pennant have a great understanding to play together on the right shown from success in the youth cups.
Pennant is also a player who can play on the left. He has been played here when he has come on as sub and for the England u21's

I think Arsenal ought to put something in the match programme about this to educate people. I genuinely think that most arsenal fans saying this word mean Tottenham fans and players in general and are not been racist.[/quote]
It is a very nasty term to use.
There has been quite a few times mentioned in the programmes not to chant it or say it

If you want any Right Winger in the world - Joaquin of Real Betis and Spain. Blinding talent. 10-15 million would get him.
But can I just say this - and let's get it right - Wenger doesn't play wingers in a technical sense. Pires, Overmars, Ljungberg - all the players Wenger has really deployed with us have been 'inside forwards' in a traditional sense. Their first move is not to head for the byline, like say, the danish boys, Rommedhal, Gronkjaer or Jorgenson, but to cut inside and play THROUGH defences.
So you're looking for a different kind of player.
Bentley might be the future either on the right or left - it doesn't really matter which side you play on in Wenger's system. When Pires and Freddie switch they're just as effective - because finally they're sposed to end up around the front or in the box - which is where both score most of their goals.
Reyes could play either side. But let's forget about him. Probably.
As for Right Back. Let Lauren stay or Volz replace him, but have Toure covering so that Keown and then Senderos can move into the team. Toure's so capable there it's a shame to waste him.

wats wrong with Ljungberg?
these are assuming no signings made for these positions:
Long term right back: Hoyte
Reserve right back: Volz
Long term right mid: Ljungberg
reserve right mid: Lauren
however maybe a signing for right mid could be useful and maybe move freddie into a more central role. i dont think any defensive signings are necessary at the moment.

When you ask who is a good up and coming RM 2 names come to mind. Joaquin and Quaresma. We won't get either as they would cost too much.
Quaresma joined Barca for £4.8mill which imo is daylight robbery. He is pure class, has superb delivery and breezes past players for fun. Under Wenger he could of started to cut in more, he sure as hell does have the talent.

Actually you are right I never really thought about it like that.
But every now and then when it is a really hard team to finish off (Ajax, Moscow, Fulham? LOL, etc) this old fashioned way of getting crosses in could work. In fact as a back up its essential. Bergy is a king at these passes.
But you don't need to be a proper 'winger' to do it - as Bergy's amazing cross on Saturday showed. In fact that goal - pure Arsenal, but kinda different because it ended with a header - showed that crossing might lie with Henry and co with Vieira and GIlberto getting in the box. No-one's gonna outmuscle those muthas.

i agree quaresma is a great talent and may be easier to get than joaquin. ljungberg is a good player but he's not really a winger. if we had a good winger who could cross well and a RVN type striker who scores a lot of headed goals we'd be sorted.

I would prefer to refer to heading types as Shearer's are Beattie's

Also I forgot about Andy Van der Meyde, he is pretty good as well.
