Arsenal Season 2010/2011

[Jim05]

Not sure about 70k at Emirates, reckon its just on 60k at best.

Very real chance of Arsenal missing out on CL next season. They will be sweating on CL qualifying draw, could face sides such as Rangers,celtic,udinese,villareal,lyon,psv or bayern munich just to name a few. Qualifying used to be a walk in the park but nowits quite a task. Would be absolute disaster if they missed out

63.5k I think Jim

Are the CL qualifiers seeded? I thought they were. If not then you're right, a potential minefield for Arsenal

Think they are seeded but i believe only for 1st rd. I think they have to get through 2 rounds. I know they have made it harder now

[Jim05]

Just checked it out, the Seeded sides enter comp at 3rd qualifying round so they should avoid sides like munich,lyon and rangers but a very real chance of getting someone like celtic, fc twente or a good eastern bloc country. This season for instance ajax drew kiev and zenit drew auxerre, so definately a minefield out there

[RoosterMarty]

Arsenal will be seeded so they shouldn't have too many problems. I think there was a chance Man City wouldn't be seeded though so they really had to finish 3rd.

Ajax were seeded and copped dynamo kiev.
A lot of good unseeded sides this year, for example udinese,fc twente, villareal and then you throw in the eastern bloc sides and turks. Wont be a walk in the park

[johntheclaret]

Udinese won't be a problem. Half their team will be at City by the time the comp starts anyway

Hearing rumours that Cesc Fab was invited to attend the fulham game with club officals and he said no he had better things to do....

He went to watch his new club in La Liga

So you reckon he will be off this year JTC?, it will be stronger then ever this off-season

[johntheclaret]

To be honest I think Arsenal may well struggle next season.

Chelsea ready to invest £100m and will be as strong as ever, the United juggernaut will just keep rolling along, City will pump in another £300m of talent, Liverpool are only short a couple of players under Dalgliesh's stewardship and will improve, and Spurs might splash a bit of cash in order to keep Harry on board.

I know Arsenal will have a decent fund this year but I think Wengers attitude and stubbornness might prove to be the real problem there and with Fabregas and one or two others wanting away Arsenal could well find find themselves finishing 5th or 6th

As long as they win when I'm there, I will be happy. I'll make the call on their positioning once I see who they sign.

not so sure JTC. Seeing that the season after Thierry Henry left Arsenal went the first 26 games unbeaten until Gallas lost his head at Birmingham and went pair shaped from there.

Possibly that the bigger players are holding the youngsters back. Dont get me wrong we love fabregas and he is a true champion but possibly hes getting to big for the club? Like Henry, he is my idol but he wanted out year after year after year and then he left, and Arsenal played like world beaters the following season

[johntheclaret]

MH is spot on. Who can say what will happen and who will finish where until the deals have been done.

I just think that Arsenal's problems lie as much with Wenger's attitude and philosophy as they do with the strength of the team.

I would look to move Wenger on now and try my luck with another manager and give him time in the closed season to get the blood in he wants.

If Wenger does indeed have a fund of around £40m, the sale of Fabragas would generate at least another £35m-£50m and that is a lot of spondoolahs.

[Bully]

i now agree fabregas is due to move on. He seems to be becoming a player that thinks hes too big for the club now.

Fantastic player and will be surely missed but it might be a good move to move him on now.

Wenger has promised he will spend this tranfer on some quality and he admits he and players are both to blame for this seasons failures.

the Nasri deal will be signed this weekend going by the website ...

Interesting that a guy that is close to signing would come out yesterday and say he would be interested in a move to united if united were genuinely interested in him.
Sounds like Bendtner on his way and clichy weighing up his future

Have heard also, I can see an ugly situation developing here. Which will end in a Judas situation.
