Rvp in his last season for us scored 30 goals in the PL alone.
I do agree that Vidal and cech are fantastic players but no offence, what has been denying us trophy ever since the departure of Henry (and
RVP in his last season) is lack of a goal machine.
The only gripe is that he lacks pace, but
RVP in his last season didn't play with much pace either.
Not exact matches
Again
RVP would have done more if he had a team like this
in his
last season.
He scored more
last season than Bergkamp, Kanu and Wiltord ever did and more than
RvP did on 6 of his 8
seasons and Adebayor did
in 3 of his 4
seasons.
RVP — 30 goals once
in the
last of his 8
seasons and it didn't achieve anything.
Be honest to yourself, Alexis
in his
last 12 months and showing desire while being one of the best CF
in the EPL this
season...
RvP?
RvP, Rooney, Falcao and Bony are
in there for effect only as well — if you are only as good as your
last season then we can't hold them up as «fear factor» strikers.
Although I'm still upset about how the
RVP saga went down I think I'd rather have him at Utd, reason being — Mourinho and Sanchez are bound to have a paddy
in the first month and it's will be a beautiful disaster from then on... Sanchez will probably
last two
seasons under Mourinho and then end up
in China coz he's a greedy bastard Followed by the MLS.
In RVP's
last season, after the FK he scored against sunderland, I've seen him (
RVP) stand over about a dozen more dead balls which he aimed at space ships crashing into earth.
Ramsey n Giroud helped us
last season in goal, we played well today, but no goal to cap it up, when we had
RVP and Adebayo togeda we didn't go anywhere talkless of now that we depend on only Welbek (average striker).
This saw
RVP make just 18 Premier League starts for United
last season, although he did manage 12 goals
in that time.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is
in no better position to compete next
season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis...
in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but
in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest
in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if
last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie
in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base...
in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5
seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player
in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)...
in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did
in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this
in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players
in the final third... he was never a good defensive player
in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely
in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)...
in their places we need to bring
in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive
RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model
in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically
in the
last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking
in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
Krish, I think
in rvp's case
in his
last season for us he scored 30 goals for us
in the PL alone and we still did not win it, what more could he do.
But he is no where near
RVP and Suarez
in their
last seasons who scored 30 league goals.
your justification of his finishing is down to his numbers 9 goals welbeck shot accyracy was 56 %
last season the same as rooney and more than
rvp and giroud whos shot accuracy was
in the mid 40 «s
I am Girouds biggest defender but
Rvp in his prime paired with Cazorla, Sanchez, Walcott, Ozil,
last seasons Ramsey etc, and you want to tell me he would bad for the team???
With Arsenal's penchant for injuries, an already injury - ravaged back - line, three - quarter of our defence (Koscielny, Sagna and Clichy) involved with another «meaningless» friendly which claimed
RvP and Vermaelen
last season... I'm not very excited about it and I wont celebrate it until I know TV5 is back to ensure that Arsenal's
season doesn't go up
in flames due to some «meaningless» friendlies!
Podolski should be
in front just like
RVP last season and not Gervinho.
the team you beat
last season had been decimated by injuries, what i would like is to see you play half the
season without your messi, and see if you can be
in the top 3
in your league, like we did without
RVP, and men, take this to the bank, you not winning shit this year, every defender has taken a page out of walter samuel's book, and know how to mark messi, interesting, your so called talisman couldn't get a single goal or assist
in the world cup, you can win all you want, but you will never, repeat never, finish a
season without a loss, so son, go choke on that.
This was
in particular evidence Sunday where Arsenal was able to compete and
in someways outplay Chelsea with their three top performers from
last season, Cesc,
RvP, Vermaelen, all out injured.
The slime that is
RVP has only been a
season fit
last season and if he says Arsenal is not a trophy winning team for all his years here, he has only played
in 1 non trophy
season, despite his years here. . .
By the second game, Rooney was dropped to the bench
in favor of
RVP and by the end of the 2013
season — Fergie's
last — Rooney had all but outstayed his welcome.
Wenger
in April
last year claimed that if
RVP hadn't been injured
last season we'd all be talking about him
in the same sentence as the likes of Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney.
He has been a great contribute to arsenal dissapointing I still felt he could of offer more for the
last 2
seasons for us.Anyway at least we have
rvp and cesc
in the final, thumbs cross for netherlands win.
Hleb is all but gone, and we already have plenty of cover on the left, particularly
in the left - center position that AW seemed to favor for Hleb
last season (Rosicky,
RVP, maybe even Nasri or Vela).
