I really think your a bit of an idiot...where's your proof?

Wheres you're proof I'm an idiot:, as you call it. I object to you calling me that.

Joe, it would be quite like l'Arse not to see anything, as Wenger thinks their club motto is, "I didn't see it".

Wenger has said today that he won't be selling Henry. A 30 million offer from a Barca or Madrid of this world and I think his viewpoint will change.

 

[Will_NA]

First of all, if Wenger believed Henry still had a job to do for Arsenal, he wouldn't sell him even for ridiculous money.

Secondly, we have only seen Ronaldo for 2 and a half years. That is nowhere enough time for us to be seriously comparing him to Henry and such.

Penultimately, any win against Man U will be celebrated like a cup victory so I don't know why you're surprised Jodie and Philadelphia.

Finally, I don't know about Henry's personality but what I do know is that he tries less than before and has become lazy and a complainer. Still, he's by far our best player, so I love him.

If he's your best player then you really are a one-man team. And I'm not sure you can rely on Henry to lift you to greatness. Adebayor's a donkey, and some of the other players haven't been fantastic, Hleb for example. Thats why I think you could do with bringing a couple of 10 million quality players. If you've already got that money then dont sell Henry.

Who in our team is better than Henry. I think Adebayor has done very well for himself in the latter part of this season so that comment is harsh. Our players have been injured numerous times this season so it will be hard for them to find form when they are injured every other game.

Hleb has been decent imo. Besides Arsenal have two of the best rising stars in Fabregas and Van Persie. The problem with Arsenal is that they are a one dimensional team. Great attacking football, fluid passing, but have a tendency to choke under pressure and against solid teams like Bolton.

I think they need to sign a good defender. Kolo Toure has been good but you need a proper defender. I agree about Adebayor though. He works hard but just isnt good enough. He has scored goals this season but has missed a lot as well.

But selling Henry would be a step in the wrong direction because he is one of the best in the world today, if not the best.

Ronaldo had a good season, but Milan showed how Man Utd can be contained by keeping him quiet. Lampard had an excellent season last year but wasnt as effective this time around so we'll know exactly how great Ronaldo is next year.

 

[Leicester Fox]

I just said I thought Arsenal should sell Henry. Its my opinion. You Arsenal goons aren't so special that your the only ones who are allowed to have an opinion. Ronaldo shouldn't be judged purely on the Milan game either. Everyone refers to that game as if it was the only one that mattered ths year, and even if he doesn't perform as well next year he shouldn't be seen as a bad player. He's done more in his career so far than Henry has (Henry may have had a world cup under his belt,can't remember but even so his performances and the credit he got was never the same as Ronaldo at this age). People forget how young Ronaldo is.

I agree about Fabregas and Van Persie they are promising. Although to be honest about Hleb, I've never seen him have a brilliant game, and I've never seen him take the game away from the opposition. For how much they spent on him, I dont think he's been worth it.

Will, Adebayor hasn't got a good touch and his finishing doesn't look good.

I agree about Ronnie next season, he's been brilliant for us this season and I hope next season he proves it wasn't a 1 season thing. I'm pretty sure it wasn't.

He was very influential against Chelsea in the Carling Cup final and i can remember occasions this season where he has come off the bench and changed a game or rather added impetus

Will, Adebayor hasn't got a good touch and his finishing doesn't look good.

I'm surprised you have fingered Adebayor when there are 'players' like Baptista about. Talk about appalling finishing. Believe me, i used to be a HUGE critic of Adebayor but he has shown remarkable improvement imo and has shown he CAN finish.

Joe, no-one's biting your head off for having an opinion. It would taste disgusting.

People forget how young Ronaldo is.

No-one's judging him on that game. That would be unfair. Ronaldo has done really well at a young age but will he continue it through his career? Remember Fabregas is younger and has made just as much as an impression (i had to mention his name:cool: )

 

[Leicester Fox]

Fabregas has made nowhere near the impression Ronaldo has! I understand your bias Will but Fabregas has never been voted the best player in the prem,never been considered arguably the best player in the world,never had to go through the trials Ronado has. Fabregas obviously has talent and is younger so he will not be on the same level as Ronaldo yet even though Ronaldo is still incredibly young for someone of his talent. They are also 2 very different types of players so comparing them is hard but its fairly apparent that Ronaldo has had far more impact this year. I think Ronaldo will keep it up,he's shown he has the talent and the mental strength so why shouldn't he. Unless something goes very wrong at such a young age like Bestdid to a degree when he lost his career to drink then it's more than likely he will do it. How many players have you seen do it for just 1 season having been regarded as one of the best in the world.

Fine, he hasn't made as much of an impression. i worded it wrong. he has made a big impression though. what trials are you talking about? (the rape trial? ) Ronaldo has done it for more than one season, he just really clicked right now. Lampard did it for one season and was regarded as the best in the world and so was Rooney. people'sopinions change very quickly

 

[Leicester Fox]

Rooney was never regarded as the best in the world,although if you watch some of his early goals back again you'll see why,it's amazing how many crackers he scored compared to now. Well Fabregas has made an impression,he's definately regarded as one of the best players in the premiership so he must be doing something right but he's just not had the same impact as Ronny. Lampard since he's been at Chelsea has been a consistent goal scorer to be fair. Rooneys just young,last year everyone was slating Ronaldo for his tricks and lack of end product yet know hes player of the year. Rooneys the same age he was last year pretty much so he's too young too ever be called a 1 season wonder. Ronaldo never got put on trial did he? He was released immediately when they realised it was just some tabloid BS is what I thought. The trials i meant was coming back to England,facing the fans after the world cup,being public enemy number 1. Surviving all the transfer speculation, his dad dieing recently iirc. It's not all that easy will

 

[Will_NA]

He has shown a mental toughness and that is lot to go through at such a young age so i will give him that but i think Fabregas reads the game better whereas Ronaldo has natural talent. (I know we're not comparing cesc to ronny as ronny would win but i had to mention cesc )

 

[sachin]

No i didn't have trouble reading your post but given the fact it looked like it was typed by someone with a mental age of about 2 it's not exactly a good thing. Henrys not a nice guy,just because you've got your really like him with some homoerotic undertones as you support Arsenal doesn't make him a nice guy. You don't know him. For all you know he could be a wife beater. Genrally the way you wouldn't take him for Henry and the fact you treat him as nothing compared to Henry. I have said many times that Ronaldo needs to prove he can do it for more than one year. Maybe your the one having trouble reading posts mr Wenger

Well i did think that was what you were implying.Hardly nice You've ruined yourself on the subject of Henry,as you don't know him either yet are saying he isn't a nice guy...:On Ronaldo:I wouldn't swap him for Henry.I think he's a fantastic player who pulls off some of the most atrocious dives i've ever seen(Yes i know all about Henry's antics at the World Cup).I question his integrity.And as you perhaps could gather from my posts,i don't think he's as good as Henry... The only person who i'd say is better than Thierry is Ronaldinho.

Wheres you're proof I'm an idiot:, as you call it. I object to you calling me that.

Well when you decided to...err...make fun of what i was saying in an indirect way,leaving me no recourse for a proper responce.Plus the above post hardly makesw you less of an idiot.Has your opinion always been that Arsenal 'Should' sell Henry?Or have you had that opinon since he's been injured:

 

[BigCrickNan]

Robbie Fowler is finally leaving His last appearance at Anfield tommorow, although he might play a part in the Champions League. A great player for us, he faded a bit when he came back here for his second spell but managed 12 goals and about 20 starts, which might leave some people wondering why he didn't play more. :crying

Dudek is also leaving, but that was on the cards after his shocking performances in the Arsenal cup games and Portmouth away last week.

you've ruined yourself as well then because you don't know him but he might not be a nice guy! Ronaldos diving has gone down by miles, it still happens infrequently but if you run quickly you're more likely to go down! I've thought Arsenal should sell Henry since last year when all the speculation came about for a few reasons. Manly why did it take him so long to sign his contract if he was desperate to stay at Arsenal, the ?50 million would be invaluable to a club like Arsenal with all their young players because theres no doubt some of their younger players will come under specualtion in the transfer market but the offers a lot easier to turn down if you have 50 million anyway. I also don't think Arsenal will be able to win the premiership with him anyway,the points gap between them and Chelsea and then United is massive and their players have a lot of development to do.
