Flamini going in hard.
Ade missing chances but playing well.
Cesc skating across the park.
Gael bursting through.
Hleb with the ball stuck to his feet.
Gallas blaming someone else.
Almunia doing ok.

Yes individually our defenders aren't bad but the coaching and playing system is utter crap and has been for a long time now. We could try and get Puyol, Vidic, Thiago but it still wouldn't make a difference when the manager is so clueless.

Our mf and strike force is the issue.

@BritPlayers

I am not saying those player were all Pele or Maldini, however when you look at how poor the premier league has been the past 3 years especially this year we could have won it with that team and the defence we have now.

Get Puyol, Vidic, Thiago? Why on earth would they want to come to you?

Why wouldnt they come to us, what the hell were Chelsea and Man city before and players came to them.

Arsenal is the third most successful English team in history.

TommyEgg- I was making the point that our playing system is so crap that it doesn't matter which individual defenders we have.

Why wouldn't Puyol, Thiago or Vidic move to Arsenal in their current state? Are you really asking that question?

History has nothing to do with it: Wolves and Notts Forest have got a nice history, but its money and CL football that talks nowadays...and Arsenal arent looking likely to offer either next season...or for a few years to come at this rate.

Arsenal can offer the money, they have the money, Chelsea and Man city couldnt guarantee CL either at the beginning yet very good players still came to them.

It is not about the players not wanting to come to Arsenal it is about the Board/Wenger not wanting them.

No no no RVP20.....players came to Chelsea and Man City cos they were clearly clubs on the up who could buy whole teams of new players and wer about to start challenging for silverware.

Whereas....oh Lord i give in.

It is you who doesnt understand what I am saying and what my original post was about.

Arsenal HAVE the money they CAN be on the "up", they just choose a different method that the board/Wenger think will get them there mainly buying young player and selling experience.

If Arsenal choose to splash the cash make no mistake lots of good players will come.
