Looks like Gibbs is back for Munich, that's a relief. I say drop Vermaelan and play Kos and Mert in the middle, Jenks on the right. Fabianksi might start over Szcesney, neither really fills me with confidence. Fabianksi has his shaky moments, Szcz likes to parry shots directly to an opponent. Doesn't matter too much, I'd be fine with playing our NextGen side for this game.

Rumours linking Podolski to Juventus today, and we're trying for Jordan Lukaku, Romelus younger brother, apparently a gooner.

Another left back?

I wouldnt mind aubemeyang , have no clue on anything about sanogo but man we need to start buying proven quality no more projects. We're a big club looking to make and compete in the champions league not everton or swansea for crying out loud

Does seem a bit odd since Gibbs is still young, Monreal is only 27, and we have a pretty great prospect there in Ormonde-Ottewill. But, maybe Wenger seems him in a different position, further forward or in the middle. Haven't seen him play so I don't much to give in terms of insight. If he's as good a prospect as his brother than I'm all for getting him either way. He certainly has the physical genetics of Romelu.

Doesn't mean we should stop looking at young talent as well, imo. As long as it's in addition to top talent. Not looking at young talent would be terribly short-sighted. Aubemeyang looks like he'd be welcome addition here now though.

Never seen Sanogo, but he was a beast in FM for a few years.

IronChef · Post #1327 » by **IronChef** » Tue Mar 12, 2013 7:07 pm

Looks like he missed a year and a half with a double leg break. Seems to have come back strong though, had 7 goals through his first 7 games this year, then put four past Stade Laval. 6'3 with pace, and technique sounds good. Scored some pretty nice overheads against England and Brazil for Frances youth team, too:

Worth a punt, I'd say.

We should get Radja Nainggolan, too. He is a midfield beast for me in FM.

koscielny needs to start from here on out and jenkinson should start against swansea

need to throttle swansea

never said it would be easy! Just saying we need to!! yeah its going to be really good match

Huge match against Swansea, hopefully they can stuff them. Love the Corporal too, better keep his place over Sagna.

Tuesday Club pod tomorrow, should be a good one.

Le Roi · Post #1333 » by **Le Roi** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:48 am

I would go with the same back 4, I thought they were excellent today. Jenkinson is getting better every game he plays.

IronChef · Post #1334 » by **IronChef** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:55 am

They should all keep there place. Maybe rotate Gibbs with Monreal, but I really hope Vermaelan or Sagna isn't in there.

MaliBrah · Post #1335 » by **MaliBrah** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 4:17 pm

yeah I'd rest gibbs take no chances with him because it looked like he had a small tweak yesterday but other than that I want the same back 4 and fabianksi in net , he deserves the start after yesterdays performance.

Man we really need a solid defensive midfielder that can anchor the side , we couldnt stop any central runs yesterday , bayerns CM's we're just running right down the middle. Need to change that but getting a solid player in that position.

Hey Ironchef what other sites do you use to get your arsenal fix? I use arsenal-mania a bit but not too much not a big fan of that site. I need to add to my list of websites ahah

IronChef · Post #1337 » by **IronChef** » Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:23 pm

Not too many really. Jeorge Bird is great for Arsenal youth stuff. Arsenal-mania just for transfer gossip, news stuff, the discussion is normally pretty bad. Arseblog obvs.

MaliBrah · Post #1338 » by **MaliBrah** » Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:27 pm

oh I see , thats basically what I do but i'll start to follow Jeorge Bird now

Ian Wright ‏@IanWright0
Just heard that Squillaci is on 65k a week. If that is true, I should still be getting paid by Arsenal.

^^fellow Arsenal-Manians huh?
Been there for almost 9 / 10 years...then the last few years they had this "only certain posters can post" on certain boards and that kind of turned me off.. So i look at it here and there, some good posters alot of meh ones though..
But yea good for rumours..!

MaliBrah · Post #1340 » by **MaliBrah** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 9:58 pm

Yeah I dont even post I just started lurking on arsenal mania recently

good win for us today , important we continue to win and put the pressure on chelsea and spurs , our bad season has left us no room for error so we got to pick up nearly all the 27 points left to play for.

Nacho with his first goal for the club today was huge , and I hope gervinho has some new found confidence after his goal today as well. Good performance from the ox as well he's been pretty poor all season and I hope he ends the season well.
