Wenger expects Eduardo to figure

Thu, 23 Jul 18:50:49 2009

Arsene Wenger has eased concerns over Eduardo's fitness by confirming the Arsenal striker is in line to make his pre-season bow in Monday's match at Szombathelyi Haladas.

"Eduardo should play on Monday," Wenger said after Arsenal's 7-1 pre-season friendly success over SC Columbia.

The Croatia international returned to action earlier this year after dislocating his left ankle in a Barclays Premier League game with Birmingham in February last year and has since undergone "simple revision surgery".

  4. to be honest it is hard to tell who wins the premier­ league at such an early stage we haven't even­ started .... man u have sold thier best player, they­ will be like "us" (arsenal) when we sold­ henry didn't really challenge for anything an­ haven't since, but we are as good as any other­ team, every team has gone with for a few year with out­ getting a trophie, look at liverpool they haven't­ wont the prem' in 20 years, if you call yourself an­ arsenal fan you have to stick by the through rough time­ (as in getting no trophies) we will get our turn.... ­ i hope its this year but if not we tried our hardest,­ we aint like all of the other teams we DONT buy our way­ to the top we play it

  5. i agree and disagree with the last comments. Every body­ is under estimating gunners. In ideal world we would­ have one world class player in each position. ideal­ would be one such as gattuso, alonso, senna, poulsen,­ scott parker, recoker, noble. not all are world class­ but it the place arsenal need to spend money.

    i dont­ think we should be worrying about if we finish in the­ top four. It should be the case of were as good as last­ year and we have just as good chance as manu, chelsea,­ liverpool or any other team that wants to win the­ league.

    i dont see any of the teams that finished­ above us being unbeatable they all have problems. we­ lack some big players. but if arsenal can stay as a­ unit and play as team instead of individuals we can­ beat any one. it looks like arsenal are starting see­ the problem by selling ADI.

    At the end of the day we­ may not have the best team in europe but we have team­ that can contend in winning trophies. By the way all we­ need is a defensive midfield that has premier­ experience.

  6. At the end of the season's analysis, all­ commentators incl. the famed 'Sunday­ Supplement' on Sky stressed that Arsenal needed­ atleast a top, top player at each oof the positions­ (GK, FB, MF and F). Sadly, Wenger has only re-inforced­ the back with Vermalen! and We have lost a forward (EA)­ and a midfielder (SN - although temporarily). Edaurdo­ and Thomas Rosicky are back - but they are so injury­ prone like just like Diaby, Walcott, RVP, Clichy that­ they cannot be relied upon at all. The boys in waiting­ are still just boys and that includes Ramsay and­ Wilshire. So as it stands, we are probably as bad or as­ good as last year.
    God please help us as it appears­ that the present team is not strong enough even for a­ top 4 finish. As of now, Man U 's edge over the­ other teams following the loss of Ronaldo is lost and­ the race for the top between them, Liverpool and­ Chelsea will be closer than ever.

  8. I'm sorry but i believe most Arsenal Fans did not­ make much of a hoot where Henry leaving is concerned.­ In fact, most are disappointed of his departure then­ BUT most of us never for once thought money was the­ main reason why.

    If you recalled, Henry had an injury­ that till today is still lingering and considering that­ the EPL is pretty demanding physically, he made a wise­ decision to maintain his career while taking note what­ his body can take. Also, for the fact that his marriage­ broke down and leaving London was probably an­ influencing decision.We respected his decision like we­ respected Viera's/Wright's decision to call it­ quits as well.

    They all left with merit, pride and­ dignity in place and remembered in our hearts as­ 'Great Players' for the club. I think they­ deserve testimonial matches.

    BUT Adebayor on the­ other hand.....is different. He's made it worse by­ believing that he's a 'Theirry Henry' and­ that he deserves that pay and respect. Which to most of­ us supporters, is disgusting and disrespectful.­

    Henry, Viera, Wright and even Kolo are some prime­ examples of players who put their foot on the field to­ post their statements of how much they are worth­ through dedication of their work...hence "their­ football do the talk". Thats how respect is­ earned! Even when kolo plays badly in some­ matches....but at the end of the day, most Arsenal fans­ embrace him as one of the greats. How is it so? Maybe­ its something Gallas should learn from Kolo.

    These­ players put in years with us. What has Adebayor or­ Gallas put in to deserve that recognition???

    So get­ that str8 into your head if you think its racist for us­ to target an individual who happens to be black....­ I'm a an asian, heck there aren't many of my­ kind in the league to begin with. Do i think for once­ that it is racism? NO is the answer! Why? Coz asian­ football in general hasn't produced quality players­ enough to attract major teams in t

  9. Its a fundamental right to speak but Y de hell do some­ idiots use this forum to post all sorts of insults from­ racism to ignorence. If there were any race; white,­ green, blue or black that cudn't face death en wd­ live 4ever, then i wd definately go 4 plastic surgery­ or other means. If anyone feels cheated to live with­ other races u better ask GOD to change that if u­ can't, less that; u better accept that this space­ called 'Earth or World' belongs to everyone and­ everything from God's creation.
    Turn to soccer;­ when press over rated players like John Terry,­ Ibrahamovic, Rooney, et al demand high wages b4­ committing to their clubs, none of u 'the blind­ with eyes' throws a comment. BUT when Ade, Eto,­ Gallas, Thiery, et al make transfers, they are branded­ money 'grabbing animals'.
    Well, its best if u­ can extend some justice en fairness to others b4­ justice forces u to perish in anguish. Or else u gonna­ remain with such hateful hearts 4ever and at end u­ might hate yo own self. Isn't that hate eating u­ away?

  14. I'm an Arsenal's fun and always wished­ successful seasons of match.However ,it wasn't true­ because of absence of stong striker in the team. Now,­ i'm happy because the sluggish and extravagant­ Adebayor has gonae away. Hopefully, the remaining­ strikers will do the best thing in the new match season­ to bring TROPHIES for our bright team and funs.

  15. It's fantastic that Adebayor is gone. Let Milan­ have Bendtner if they want them. Get rid of Silvestre­ and buy Yaya Toure to strengthen the defensive­ midfield. Diego Forlan would be a fantastic addition to­ our attack along with Eduardo and Van Persie.
