Only if Wenger doesn't sign a replacement. None of Enrique, Izaguirre, Baines, Cissokho will make me regret it.

Even a healthy Gibbs won't make me regret it.

Nasri's on the pre-season tour of Asia so that makes me hopeful that he'll stay.

Though, if the right price comes along, I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to a move.

Also, Arturo Vidal and Hugo Rodellaga are two of the names being floated around now.

my bucks pessimism is creeping over to the soccer board :D

in that same vein, i'm sure nasri is contractually required to be on the tour until his contract is bought out

I find it hard to believe that AW would shatter the Arsenal transfer record on Stewart Downing.

Much rather pay 5 more and get Mata, who is actually worth that money.

Highlights from today's game.

From all accounts Ryo was decent, Jenkinson was good. Denilson came on to start the second half, but got subbed off after 20 mins. :lol:

I know Ryo is far from ready. But his speed is suppose to be theo - esque. they had a race and it was tied. Quite interesting

ESPN Brazil reckon Denilson is returning to Sao Paulo on loan next season. Makes sense.

Excellent ball retention but not much else. And if your #1 skill is ball retention, you've got problems.
