They can call us Ajax of London

by Block19er on July 21, 2010

Maarten Stekelenburg
Age: 27
GK
Ajax

Gregory van der Wiel
Age: 22
Right Back
Ajax

Luis Alberto Suárez
Age: 23
Striker
Ajax

Linking Arsenal with a £42Mil move in any one go seems friggin’ nuts to me!!

Having said that what a great bit of business this would be, an attacking right back, who can cross and shoot, a solid keeper, and a born goal-scorer.

In the words of our kit sponsor JUST DO IT!!

Not needed- and it won’t happen. They would’nt get in the team!! Except perhaps- the goalie sometimes!!

eugene lwenyi on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 3:06 pm

that would be great business for both parties because we lack a capable golie and in suarez a capable poacher will be in our possesion while Van wiel is one of the best for the defence

Stu on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 3:07 pm

Cue all the jokes about buying Suárez as a goalkeeper…

I certainly wouldn’t be upset if we got Stekelenburg and van der Wiel, but it’s not going to happen.

Brett on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 3:07 pm

I disagree with that comment Donny.

Stekelenburg is miles better than what we have, Van der Wiel heh… that’s a bit of a closer battle and Suarez would bolster our attack and is a proven goalscorer that would be perfect when Van Persie has one of his spells on the sidelines.

Still, it won’t happen, but I wouldn’t say it isn’t needed.

I think the first two would walk in the team and Suárez will develop into a great forward.

Highland Gunner on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 3:17 pm

I think they are ALL needed. Stekelenburg is turning into a top quality keeper and would be a vast improvement than our current pair of mugs that have been the first two options between the sticks this last couple of seasons. As much as I like Sagne, he does get caught out at times and is crossing his terrible. Van der Wiel’s is not. And Suarez is a top quality striker. With Eduardo looking like leaving he would be an ideal number for Arsenal. But £42 million??? Why would Ajax sell three of there biggest assets for so little. We’re looking for a lot more for just one of ours. I would love to see the three of them at the Grove but £42 million would never seal the deal

Nicky on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 3:24 pm

The only scenario which could see this happen is the departure of Cesc to Spain (I won’t say which Club!). I’m just beginning to seriously wonder whether Arsenal should bring an end to this whole sorry business, sell Cesc for OUR valuation and regroup. Otherwise we will go through all this shambles again in 12 months’ time.

Van der Weil – Ajax has just pulled out of talks with Bayern Munich??

I like the sound of this package but can we not add another £10m and take Vertonghen as well?

Lets be real though it wont happen

Goonerama on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 3:51 pm

If the grove had that much money, we wouldn’t put all our bets on the youth system.

Homer on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 4:43 pm

Sanga caught out at times? Dude, I think you are thinking of a different Sagna. Or maybe clichy, he does get caught out quite a bit lately. And last season he was easily skinned several times.

People’s bitch with sagna is that this past season – only – is crossing was poor. Season before, was much better however. When Ade-cash-whore was on the side, Sagna crossed well.
Maybe he’s just near sighted? Needs a big target!

Messi on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 6:02 pm

The heading of this blog is 100% CORRECT! We are the Ajax of london, teams come and pick players from us, players wanting to leave and in all honesty Im starting to blame Arsene Wenger for this shh*it!

In the space of 3 years we’ve lost Lehmann, Toure, Campbell, Gallas, Silvestre, Gilberto Silva, Flamini, Diarra, Hleb, Eduardo, Adebayor and possibly “CESC” Thats a whole 11 team!

and in that space his filled all that bag of experience with nasri, arshavin, vermaelen, chamakh and koscienly!

Lehmann – still had another year in him
Toure – understandable
Gallas – just give him the 80,000 he wants his a world class defender
silvestre – understandable
gilberto silva – still has it! arsenes a fool for selling him
flamini – because of 5, 000 pound he left
diarra – should’ve kept him even though he wasnt patient
hleb – should not of sold him full stop!
eduardo – understandable
adebayor – shouldnt of sold him still

tells you alot about our manager who wants to win trophies with a team of experience all departing.

As a Holland fan as well as Arsenal I would love for these players to come to the club. WE NEED THE KEEPER! He is far and away above the crap we got now and we need a right back that can cross for our new tall centre forward chamahk. As for suarez, I was happy he was not eligible to play for uruguay against Holland, cos I was afraid, so we get another good striker (eduardo is gone and Bentner…yea) and we’re good to go.

Nicky on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 6:40 pm

Re Messi
I’m a great believer in free speech but rarely have I read such rubbish as your comment. I started to answer the various points you make but gave up on reading “We should never have sold Adebayor”. So laughable, there’s no answer to it!. Apart from ONE season he was a total lazy disaster. He’s done so well for Man City, though, hasn’t he!

gsag on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 7:32 pm

SHOULD HAVE

Rindsy_RoHan!!! on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 7:34 pm

Dude, Messi I gotta agree with Nicky on that one. Adebayor was a lazy selfish mofakka who was overated and disloyal. Okay Bentner is no better, but we got like 25 mil for Ade, and another for toure so we could pay off the stadium bills, so now we are in the clear and can spend money on the defence and goalees. Btw, Hleb slowed our game down even more, he wanted to pass back more than the defence! Yea, Flamini was a bad move, him and Gilbo woulda been great together. But have hope, Liverpool suck now, and Man city are hated more than man u, changes are in motion, Arsenal just might win sumthin this year…

@Nicky: Agreed

saf on Wed, 21st Jul 2010 10:58 pm

dnt get my hopes high been waiting a very long time to hear arsenal have something to do with world class players….

Messi on Thu, 22nd Jul 2010 12:30 am

Ok, nicky and rindsy ive read both your comments you insist about this adebayor laziness but the fact of the matter is, we rely on van persie who is a world class player yet his never completed a whole season without getting injured or gone with 3-5 months of a season without getting injured. You talk about man city being hated than man u, but at least their showing ambition to do well and go buy players worldclass players to try and win… arsene has sold all them players and starts to rebuild rebuild, its like he just wants to build then knock it down then build it all again for fun over an over again. ever arsenal fan says adebayor had only 1 good season well what 1 of our strikers has had a better season in their entire arsenal career than adebayor, at least he got the job done. how can you guys still believe in this build nonsense when our manager just keeps on getting rid of our best players and replacing them with youth. where the hell is the logic in that there. Right now the most experienced player in our squad interms of winning trophies is CESC and ARSHAVIN.. whats our players meant to do look up to cesc when doesnt even want to be there, just waiting for arsenal to agree a deal and his off quicker than a fly. And arshavin whose lazy not because he wants to; ITS BECAUSE of the players around him denilson, diaby, walcott, bendtner, oh let me guess they are the ones who are gonna win us trophies right? YEAH FU*KING RIGHT!

This team will not win anything mark my words until arsene can start replacing players PROPERLY! not experience for youth but experience for experience WE WONT WIN JACK SH*T! the likes of chelsea, united, city and NOW SPURS (NEVER THOUGHT I’D SAY THEM ASWELL) will start battering us regularly… have you guys seen the first 5 away games for us….. R.I.P another trophy-less season, thank you arsene!

sarafa abayomi on Thu, 22nd Jul 2010 2:39 am

honestly am tired of all this links but is good for us that if we can get them cos image of this great Arsenal is as stake and is high we make a move cos trophy is needed right now to move the moral of the player and fans,so that other clubs will not be taking success to feed on our players like fabregas issue now that we will now be begging player to stay.let our achievement speak for us not hanging around the player like a loose Dog people babe.Also am appealing to gunner fan who had review of the past two season please help me get it and send to this address name:sarafa abayomi;address:32 budland street,grammar school,ojodu.lagos state,Nigeria.thanks as you help your fellas fans and you won’t how this will make me happy and God will bless you more.thanks.

MAN WITH THE GOLDEN VUVUZELA on Thu, 22nd Jul 2010 6:29 am

i agree with messi’s comments – as the wool is being pulled over our eyes. we don’t have pull power anymore as we not winning tropihies. Players want to be decorated. Even when Ajax was going through the stage wenger is trying to emulate – they still won leagues & UCL’s.

This season we’ll need quality buys because we start like a house on fire then fade away.

A UCL & EPL are needed next season at all costs.

I repeat world class players want to be decorated as that’ll be what they remembered for. Fabrgas plays like Zidane – he has tasted success at the highest stage & he wouldn’t want another dry season at Arsenal.

Wenger needs to act fast.

Joni Bravo on Thu, 22nd Jul 2010 1:44 pm

SPOT ON MESSI

The vicious cycle goes

”Spot at an early age, give them a chance to become or nearly become world class and SELL before reaping full benefits”

”As soon as another so called big club comes calling, let them throw their tantrums in and then SELL reason being its no point holding a player against their will” Why sign the contract in the first place

Superdupermal on Mon, 26th Jul 2010 1:39 pm

I have always been 100% passionate and committed to Arsenal, I’ve defended them to the point of fighting!! i now find myself thinking that Arsene is taking us all for mugs, i think hes a puppet master who has the board and the fans under his spell, is hes more interested in the financial side of the club? he used to be 100% committed to the team, since the new stadium hes turned into an accountant and neglected his duties as a manager, i never want Arsene to leave but all Arsenal fans would be happy if he committed himself to success on the pitch and not in the bank!! he owes it to all the loyal Arsenal fans who have backed him over these 5 baron years,
I pay my money to see my team play well and win things, not to pay for the stadium and sacrifice success!! we have sold all our star players to the point that i don’t believe we have the pulling power anymore, our only true star wants to leave, we are moving backwards as a team, we know it, Arsene knows it and so does the board!! look at spurs, look what they spend with less resources? WE HAVE NEVER REPLACED A STAR WITH A STAR!!
I love Arsene like a father, but to be perfectly frank, i think he’s taking us for a bunch of gullible mugs, ARSENE….PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ARSENAL FANS!! make some decent signing and win the fans back, if you’re only interested in the financing of the club, move upstairs and get us a manager who ONLY wants to win things, we’re sick of those oh so nearly stories!!
You’re making a mockery of our great history!!
We are no more than a feeder club that gets close enough to bump up the price of mediocre players, sell them of and buy bargain, old or free players!!
What Arsenal player believes Arsene will ever spend 10 20 or 30 million on a superstar? None of us and thats sad, considering we are no longer guaranteed champions league football with the competition investing heavily for success, we could fizzle into a top 10 club, thats not the Arsenal i know and love!!
PLEASE INVEST NOW!!!!
