It'd be a serious waste to play him on the left (or anywhere other than up top) in a 4-2-3-1 and I think he'd struggle.

Fair enough, as we have been tracking him for a very long time now i think we will know him inside and out so i trust us to get the best out of him what ever it is..... if it happens that is.

Wish he'd decided on MLS instead.

I'm not sure MLS clubs made offers for him though.

I do think he might have wanted a low key end to his career, which of course he wouldn't get if he went to the MLS.

by RedOranje Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:47 am

If he'd mentioned an interest in coming to the US there'd be several clubs willing to make him offers. I'm not sure how China is much more "low-key" to be honest. It's not as though having more/less media attention in Europe affects him when he's on the opposite side of an ocean or (super)continent.

by Blue Barrett Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:48 am

True.

Oh well, I wish him the best. He'll score quite a number of goals for whichever team he plays for if he even puts in 50% of his "big game" concentration.

by RedOranje Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:51 am

He probably just missed hanging out with Le Sulk.

by Kick Wed Jun 20, 2012 10:00 am

Good luck Drogba!

I always knew he would end up there.

"He will stay at Arsenal," Wenger told Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "There is no reason why a top player, a big champion would want a move to Serie A - in terms of the prestige of the league, the level of play or financial considerations."

Emphasising his confidence, Wenger added: "If he moves there, I will buy you a caramello [Italian ice cream]."

Not sure if troll.

Def a troll ..

by Dante Wed Jun 20, 2012 11:15 am

Not troll . It's not like something he said doesn't stand in reality , whether we like it or not. He could still move in Serie A anyway , but what Wenger said is legit , unfortunately .

@mattspiro: Arsenal competing with Chelsea for Ben Arfa: L'Equipe say he's keener on #AFC as not convinced he'd be regular at #CFC. But #NUFC want €21m

Tbf he played there for West Ham and Hoffenheim Very Happy

and Hades not Galatasaray per say but leaving for someone..... although it was reported this morning we want De Jong in addition Ba Shocked

Also what a load of rubbish that Ben Arfa story is i suppose he sits down with Matt Spiro and discusses where he would start and where he would not start while he's at the Euros Laughing

Also start at Arsenal? with Podolski, Giroud, RVP, Oxlade, Walcott and Gervinho already there? dont make me laugh.

Usual media trying to unsettle our players and disrupt the team as usual.

by urbaNRoots Wed Jun 20, 2012 12:14 pm

I don't believe it either for some obvious reasons:

1. Arsenal's too cheap to get Ben Arfa out of Newcastle
2. Wenger could've signed him before but didn't (cheaper, younger, less hype etc.)
3. I don't believe Newcastle are ready to sell.

All said that, there can be some truth as Matt Spiro is a correspondent for UEFA at the Euros, and he's in Poland/Ukraine. He's making an interview with Koscielny aswell.

by Abramovich Wed Jun 20, 2012 12:48 pm

He would get more game time with Chelsea then Arsenal imo, especially when Miyaichi would even bench Ronaldo and Ribery.

by halamadrid2 Wed Jun 20, 2012 12:54 pm

correct me if i am wrong(if its the guy i am thinking of) but wasn't Miyachi loaned out to Bolton from Arsenal??

EDIT: nvm i guess you're talking about Ben Arfa

Agreed, but still none of you are going to get him unless you pay Carroll like money.

by Kick Wed Jun 20, 2012 12:59 pm

Don't want Ben-Arfa.

He has been a trouble maker in the past. I would much rather buy Hulk/Fellaini/Moutinho for that kind of money.

Yeah he is an Arsenal legend in the making already, I expect him to replace Messi when he retires although Madrid will be in for him as well when Ronaldo goes and it will be up to him which ever team he joins, either way I wish him the best.

by halamadrid2 Wed Jun 20, 2012 1:31 pm

looool, imagine if you get deceived now when he actually turns out good

by Abramovich Wed Jun 20, 2012 2:05 pm

What you on about? he is good scratch

Player of the month for Bolton in his first season, he only dropped a little because Coyle wanted him to play on the right so he could play Petrov as well.
