The Official Arsenal Thread [Season 2006/07]

yeh although i can only see him coming if Reyes goes

Speaking of Reyes, AS interviewed him and he siad that he did make those comments about him being happy at Arsenal. But he also said its no secret that he dreams of a move to Real Madrid and also says that he does not know whats going on because his agent handels these types of situations...more like he does want to say too much, how can you not know what your agent is doing?

So whats the news on Cole? Last I heard is that Wenger would rather sell him to us rather than Chelsea and that his price will be 18 million euros? I dont know about that price it seems too cheap, as for Wenger perfering to sell him to us I can see that.

yes, reyes spoke to AS exclusively... just like vieira did to go to madrid, just like henry did to go to barcelona. of course he did. AS is 100% reliable

Wow nice replay :boohoo: I would be happy if he stays in Arsenal, no need for him at Madrid as I posted when the rumor first came out about him.

Yea AS is not 100% reliable but those fake news reporters that tricked Reyes are haha I am not trying to be an ass but its no secret that he seems to want a move.

A spanish player that doesnt play for Barca having a dream of playing for Real Madrid, that is no surprise

 

[Vedran-10]

Reyes is fond of Real Madrid. We don't need AS for an information like that. I could see him in Madrid.

 

[arsenal_boi]

He wouldn't look out of place in a madrid shirt, he's a good player but i don't like the amount of times he falls over if he stayed on his feet he'd be a much better player. but anyway my verdict let him go if a good enough offer comes in

 

[Vedran-10]

Reyes is quality, but his talents would be wasted in Madrid because he wouldn't get a lot of playing time, with Ronaldo, Robinho, Cassano, Beckham, Ruud and Baptista in the team.

 

[arsenal_boi]

Reyes would play on left???

he'd get game time i'd liek to think

fatty should leave so that would leave robinho and ruud upfront

 

[ColumbusGunners]

What do you guys think of a player/cash deal with chelsea

Cole for Gallas plus $

How do you rate Gallas

Would Chelsea send us Gallas

 

[Dreath]

Gallas being Chelsea's second best defender, and one of the best in Europe, easily in the top 5. I'd take that deal in a heartbeat, but Chelsea aren't stupid enough to sell.

 

[arsenal_boi]

i wouldn't agree that deal personally, Gallas would want to play CB, so that would put senderos and djourou down the order who need games to fulfill their potential, so i would prefer a cash deal for cole and use that money to buy a young decent defender, thats my opinion anyway

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

Gallas isnt going to be sold to us by Chelsea stop dreaming


The only way he will come to us is on Bosman but even then I think he would go to Milan or Barca

 

[arsenal_boi]

sign lucas neill :P

 

[Yossarian]

We could use a leg breaker or two.......

 

[RUSI]

Don't know if you Arsenal fans have seen this...

The greatest rivalry in the world will play at your new stadium.

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

Reyes looks like hes going to be leaving

 

[Vedran-10]

If he goes to Madrid, he'll overload them.

But for his sake I hope he goes somewhere else, because he wouldn't play all that much in Madrid.

How so, at first I was under the impression that he is not needed but honestly we dont really have a left winger ( sure Robinho or Cassano can play ) but with all the games its not a bad idea to have him here aslong as the price is right.

Will you need a winger?

I may be mistaken, but I think I've read somewhere that Capello won't use wingers.

It just seems too much. You have players for that position, and as the list of your offensive players goes through my head, it just seems overloaded with Reyes. Two people are enough for one position, IMO.

So you have Robinho and Cassano. Beckham will play RW, and you're left with Ruud, Ronaldo and Raul upfront. You could have Robinho and Raul as LW, Beckham and Cassano RW, and Ruud and Ronaldo FW. Seems quite good, and sufficient, even for three competitions. Plus, those players can switch positions, can't they?

Didn't Raul use to play at the left?

Maybe I'm forgetting someone

Not sure about that. Right now we have this

RW - Robinho and Beckham
AM/SS - Raul, Baptista, Robinho, and Cassano
LW - Cassano and no real backup for him ( yes Robinho can play here )

We have too many SS's as you can see. Neither Cassano or Robinho are wingers but I think we will play some sort of a 4-3-3. So Robinho on the right and Cassan on the left is perfect for that imo. With Raul or Baptista in the middle. Now if Robinho and Cassan are the starters for the outside than we have Beckham and Juanfran ( both RW's ) so having Reyes would be another option on the left and he would fit into this very nicely imo.

Yes he did play the left but he is not so fast to be playing there.

Another point is that I think Capello wants to make sure he has a full deck of cards. If one player is doing bad he wants to be able to switch him with a another very good player. This also brings in a lot of competition in the squad. Thats just what I think, I think he wants to make sure he has a team that he thinks is capable of winning something.
