Nasri debuts in Arsenal 3-1 Vfb Stuttgart + Amaury Bischoff +Bentley's gift + Goals vids

Arsenal have thrashed German outfit Vfb Stutgart in their own backyard 3-1. All the 4 goals comming in the second half. The starting line up of Arsenal was containing of usual first team players with the exception of Eboue playing in the central midfield. Also Samir Nasri was given his debut for Arsenal.The subs had plenty of young and talented reserves players.
————————Almunia———————
–Sagna—--–Djourou———-Gallas (c)--—-Clichy
–Walcott—---Eboue——–Denilson—–--Nasri
---Van Persie—————-Adebayor----
subs: Fabianski, J.Hoyte, G.Hoyte, Lansbury, Randall, Wilshere, Vela, Ramsey, Simpson, Bendtner.
Then Eboue and Samir Nasri were replaced for Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey. The third was by far the best goal of the match also of the preseason. Most of the work leading upto the goal was done by Gael Clichy dribbling pass two defenders in the box and then somehow finding the 16 year old prodigy Jack Wilshere who gave a left footed pile driver to slot the ball home. I say this lad could be next Fabregas and is defiantely in Wenger's plans. Keep a watch on him people.
Bacary Sagna was replaced by Gavin Hoyte and Walcott gave way to Mark Randall.Finally Vela and Denilson made way for Henri Lansburry and Jay Simpson.It was enough to see Arsenal secure a win against a good Bundes Liga outfit.From the look of it , the lads are seeming to be getting in the groove.Keep on scoring Gunners...

Portugese under 21 Amaury Bischoff has officially signed for the club.There were rumors that he was about to sign circulating past month.The deal has been confirmed on Arsenal's website.I think he has been unlucky with injury but has a great potential. For the Bio of the player Click here.

I would like to mention to you guys that if David Bentley signs for Spuds for £17 million transfer Arsenal are set to pocket of 50% of that amount, as per the agreement signed when he was transfered to Blackburn Rovers. Now £ 8.5 million is big money any way you see it. I think it would be interesting to see him in the North London derby.Till then Go Arsenal Go....

Hleb , Better mind Ur Business +Wenger & Walcott speak+ barnet game video
"He [Fabregas] told me lots of things [about Barcelona], his time in the academy with players like Pique, Messi and so on," Hleb told Barcelona's official website."He loves this club, and though he's at Arsenal, who knows, maybe one day he'll come back here."
Yea I can understand where this comes from, I think its a part and parcel of being a Barcelona player. You have to come out with such comments so that the fans love you and the directors love you even more.Hleb , if you are listening please do us Gunner fans some favor with regards to all the time that we cheered you even when you didn't score a goal for your selfish desires, please for all the trust that we shown you , don't be a f*ckin bast*rd.
Arsenal having moved to Emirates stadium has seen themselves being comparatively quite in the transfer market for some years.It has definately got something to do with the Emirates move but not all of it is related with the stadium. I think Arsenal are signing players who can fit into Wenger's scheme of things. I think we still have funds available for god players but not stupid money.Chelsea are reported to go after Kaka , for what could be the highest paid transfer money. Well, we surely don't have that kind of cash and Wenger is aware of it.He goes on to say :
"No it[big deal signings by Chelsea and Manu] doesn't bother me too much," said Wenger.
"I know at the start of the transfer market Chelsea can buy who they want, and I cannot stop that."
"No [we have not put a price on his head], at any price if you come in tomorrow with £400 million then I will think about it! I do not want to go into any speculation, I want to keep Adebayor," Wenger added.
"I don't know what has gone on because a lot has been denied, it is very difficult to know what is true and what is said and not said, he denies 99 percent of it.
"I have never met many people who have said 'I do not have a case for a new contract'! We are always ready and I fight always to get the players the maximum wages but you have to respect the wage structure."
Wenger said he wanted Adebayor to stay and I think thats puts the situation regarding talks about Adebayor leaving to shit.For complete comments on Setanata sports click here.
One player I would love to watch scoring goals is Theo Walcott. I think the lad has been unneccesarily put under pressure by giving him the 14 number shirt once wore by Thierry Henry. I thought the club would retire that shirt but it seems they have other plans. Well Theo is no Thierry , atleast for now, a fact he also understands. The lad is sure to make some more contribution to Arsenal' season this year.He has set a 20 goal target for himself . Now that's the way to go, mate. Walcott goes on to further say, that its football he is interested in and not the money.I think Flamini ,Cashley,Alex Hleb and Adebayor better listen to their young team mate who is more determined then theese guys are ,I guess. Go on Theo >>>Conquer the World.

And in the end the Under 19 Euro championships saw its last group qualifiers being played. Both Kieran Gibbs and Fran Merida won with their national teams with Merida scoring an assist and a goal. Unfortunately both of them are outof competitons as their team failed to qualify further in tournament. That means they would be back in training with the rest of the squad.

Barnet 1-2 Arsenal + Wenger reaction+Rosicky to miss start+ Denilson+Clichy on Persie

Finally some relief from transfer speculation that had driven me crazy to the extent of checking each and every website or blog for the slightest hint regarding a possible transfer news. Alas, The Great One, answered my request and arranged for the first pre-season friendly against Barnet at Underhill Stadium .
Arsenal Starting XI:
Almunia
Sagna - Nordtveit - J.Hoyte - Clichy (c)
Lansbury - Denilson - Ramsey - Traore
Walcott - Bendtner
Barnet Starting XI:
Beckwith
Carew, Yakubu, Devera, Gillet;
Adomah, Porter, Bishop, St Aimie;
Birchall, Akurang.
The much awaited Ramsey started his first match in Arsenal's jersey.The first half was not so good for the Gunners and it only was a matter of time before Arsenalgot going. Arsenal started their pre-season preparation on a high by winning the game 2-1 thanks to two second half goals from Jay Simpson(63) and Nacer Barazite (74).
The first half saw Barnet taking a surprise lead .Unbelievably, Gael Clichy’s close pal in Kenny Gillet won a free kick outside the edge of the ‘D’ before smashing it past the stranded Almunia.That came as a shock to the 5500 Gunner's fans ,who had traveled to support their teams first game.The first half was rusty as far as team performance is considered but there were surely moments of individual brilliance.I think, its just that the players need to get back from their holiday mood and really slog it out, if we are to win a cup this season

Second half saw us changing the entire squad on pitch. I think it was pre-decided by Arsene Wenger. He had already thought of two sets of teams. Francis Coquelin was granted a debut in midfield. Seven English talents also took the field with Vito Mannone being granted the chance to impress.
Mannone
Ogogo - G.Hoyte - Rodgers - Steer
Wilshere - Randall (c) - Coquelin - Barazite
Simpson - Fonte
It was then, just the guys had to see us safely to the final whistle to start the season with a good spirited win against a league 2 side.

I think Wenger would be especially please that 2 goals were scored by Second XI side which were playing under pressure of being a goal down.I would like to thank Chris of Gooner talk from whoom I have borrowed some Informations.If you want detailed Match Analysis Click Here.
Speaking after Arsenal's 2-1 pre-season friendly win over Barnet, Wenger stated he expects Adebayor to make his first appearance at training.
Thats the way to do it Arsene. If a player thinks he can have his way , you need to say him that he has signed a bloody contract and he must respect it."Adebayor is under contract," Wenger told Sky Sports News. "We expect him to turn up on Monday and practice with us."
On new Transfer signings, he said:
"Yes you can expect signings. I don't know where and how many, but we're in the market. If there's a good opportunity we'll take it."
That means we are in business friends and thats a bloody hell good thing to say .
For complete interview of Arsene Wenger with Sky Sports, Click here.
Clichy, came out yesterday praising Van Persie .I think Robbie has been really unlucky with his injuries. Last season when he was coming in his own groove , he got injured on the International duty for Netherland and never seemed to make a recovery for the rest of season. I feel he will set the Premier League on fire if he remains fit for the complete season and I think Clichy shares my view.
"He was unlucky to be injured last season so it was good to see him play game after game," said the Frenchman. "It was a big blow to lose him and I'm certain that his return is going to be a great bonus for us this season.Rightly said, Gael . You know what, you too are, no less mate.You are the one, who knows how to take on Ronaldo and make him a little whining baby.
"At Arsenal we have lots of players who can make a difference, but Robin is a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, the kind who, even if they aren't playing fantastically, can change things from one free-kick, corner or one pass."
Bad news Gooners. Rosicky says he wont be back till September. Now I really hoped that he would be back fit. He hasn't had the start that he, manger and everyone expected of him at Arsenal. However he is recovering from the operation that made him miss the Euro 2008 for Czech Republic. Now with the operation done, I think he could prove the world what he is worth. All the best to you Tomaas.He had this to say, Click here.
I know I'll miss the start of the club season," he told Czech daily Sport.
"According to plans I should be back on the field in September."
Denilson, I think this is the season he has to come out and prove himself.With Arsenal running short in the Central Defensive Midfield department ,I think he has a great chance to take the place and make it his playground .For it though, he would have to play more regularly and give a no bull sh*t of performance each time. Thats a too much to expect from a 20 year old but with Wenger's Youth , you can never trust them. He says
“I’m just focused on Arsenal, but I know some other clubs were looking at me,” said Denilson. “Last year I heard Barcelona wanted to buy me, but I really like it at Arsenal.
“For me this is the best team, it’s where I want to be. I want to show what I can do for Arsenal.”
Well if he hadn't mention Barcelona it would have done a whole lot of good to everybody. However , since he has Arsenal in his future plans I can let that go by. No complains mate..
If you want to check out the entire comments Daily Express has it in detail.
I found this piece of information on one of the Blogs I regularly visit. Le Groove says we are about to sign Garreth Barry from Aston Villa for pound 12 Million + Justin Hoyte. I guess its a Win Win situation for everybody. I will not shave for a month if this signing does go through.Looking to raising long beards, till then Go Arsenal Go...................
