As we have seen, depth is everything in a title challenge, which Arsenal clearly lack. Chamakh, Bentdner, Vela have all been ineffective, and while I believe Walcott will be a good striker, he has yet to play there regularly. RVP is rumored to want out should Fab, Nasri, and Clichy all leave, as the papers say. Gervinho is a good addition, agreed…Koscielny is a centre back so I don’t quite see the relevance there. If even 2 of Fab, Nasri, Clichy, RVP (not even mentioning Bentdner, who is resigned to leaving, and other likely departures like Denilson, Almunia, etc mentioned in article) the money would of course be there, and Wenger has money to spend anyway. While I agree, and stated in the article, it is not likely (wouldn’t bet on it), it is still in the realm of possibility, and again we have seen stranger things.

Harry didnt attempt to injure the 2 best players and run half the pitch to wind up traveling fans.
Arsenal have RVP, kolchelny and now Grevnio, Walcott will be moved to striker according to Wenger.Do you guys think Arsene will 1. pay the transfer fee and 2. Pay 130+ a week for a player that everyone hates in a position that is not really a problem.
No doubt that Adybyor had a great season at Arsenal but suggesting he would be bought back is just silly.

As Rogers mentioned, Harry Redknapp went between the two.. Kenny Miller is another example. I don’t think it will happen, but with Wenger under pressure he could perhaps get unconvential..and Adebayor has since apologized and stated he did not want to leave. As stated, he scored boatloads for Arsenal (who i support) and was one of our most important players.

Very sad examples..Those players simply left to direct rivals. Arsenal fans already had enough of Adaybor and were largely very happy to see him go. Its the hate he caused that first game at Man city. And you examples would only make sense if all thous players returned to their original club.

Sol Campbell from Tottenham to Arsenal.
Luis Figo from Barcelona to Real Madrid.
Harry Redknapp from Portsmouth to fierce rivals Southampton and consequently back to Portsmouth.
Barca paying €40 million plus Etoo for Ibrahimovic.
Real Madrid signing Michael Owen and Woodgate.

He is hated at Emirates more that Ashaly Cole and that’s a HUGE statement.
Nope, i cant think of anything stranger.
Care to offer an example?

I suggested it was unlikely, but we have seen stranger things in football don’t you think?

You lost all credibility when you suggested there was a change he could return to Arsenal
