Wenger need to get the fuck out with his "let's develop the young players" policy , it hasn't won shit for 5 years , Arsenal is in a big need of some proven winners/experienced players who can step it up in big games ... plus Arsenal lack of physical impact is hilarious , too many players are physically built like teenagers

Lack of strength is not the reason they dont win trophies though (even though it is a weakness for them). Its their squad compared to Chelsea, man Utd etc. The first 11 is great but Arsenal have nothing coming off the bench. Its crazy because these days I'd say Spurs and Man City both have better back-up than Arsenal (not better first 11's but better subs benches). They need to bring in squad players who can step in and step up, not rely on youngsters like Vela, Denilson etc to be able to do the job that Van Persie and Febregas do.

The French Football Federation revealed on Saturday that Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra will miss the World Cup finals due to a stomach complaint.
Diarra was named in Raymond Domenech's squad for the finals in South Africa after making 23 appearances in the Primera Liga this season as Real finished second to Barcelona.
But Diarra was unable to train with his international team-mates on Thursday, Friday or Saturday and has now been withdrawn from consideration.
A replacement player has not yet been called up to join France in the Alpine resort of Tignes where they are preparing for the finals in South Africa.
A statement from the FFF read: "Further to his intestinal pain contracted on the glacier in Tignes, check-ups have detected evidence of an unpredictable illness which justifies rest for an indeterminate period. Consequently Lassana Diarra will miss the World Cup 2010 in South Africa."
FFF president Jean-Pierre Escalettes has lamented the news that Diarra will be missing for the finals.
"I react with great sadness because a World Cup is something terrific,'' Escalettes told L'Equipe. "Lassana is a player I like a lot.
"He could have had enormous value to the team because of his mental strength. It is dramatic that he should miss the World Cup. He will play more because he is young, but I have great sorrow for him."
Les Bleus face Mexico, South Africa and Uruguay in Group A.

Spain wont win, do you know why ?
1 there only got one fully fit top class striker. Lllorente who ?
2 Only 3 strikers picked in the squad when one is already recovering from injury and even when he's getting back to fitness is likely to break down again?
3 Shit FB's. Capdevilla is very average and slow. Walcott ripped him to shreds in CL. Ramos is very good going forward, but poor defensively.
4 No raw pace or physical power.
5 Too many similar midfielders. All passers and/or dribblers. No speed merchants of great crossers of the ball.
6 average DM. No top quality ball winning holding mid, Busquets is very average Why wasn't Senna picked? has he gone too old ? Busquets is snail like, not very agile, with shit stamina.
