Sagna at the back post to slot in the opening goal.
The Beef Bagel «Arsenal will of course point to their â $ œwe only fielded the kidsâ $ theory, but of course, Mr Wenger reneged somewhat upon his faith in his youngsters, by enhancing them with regular first teamers
Sagna at right back, skipper Gallas next to Hoyte, Hleb on the right wing and remaining players who have all got first team experience.
The centre back pairing of Koscielny and Mertesacker will continue with Bacary
Sagna at right back.
Arsenal are looking for competition for Bacary
Sagna at right - back, as the defender has only a year to run on his current contact at the Emirates, and the club are undecided as to whether to offer him a new deal or let him walk next summer.
Before Bellerin had broken onto the scene or before Debuchy had signed for Arsenal, Jenkinson was playing second fiddle to Bacary
Sagna at Arsenal and got a few games here and there.
Things never really happened for Debuchy at Arsenal mainly due to injuries.He was the obvious choice to replace
Sagna at the time and he was bedding in nicely up until that Stoke TWAT done him.Hope it works out for him wherever he ends up.Decent player
One dark spot: Debuchy is still on the payroll (because no one wants to pay his wages), but he was once an excellent player (he started for the French national team ahead of
Sagna at the World Cup) but has had two gruesome injuries.
Not exact matches
Theres alot of problems
at our club but our consistent bad luck doesn't help, i mean we had 3 leg breaks (
sagna, ramsey and eduardo) in the space of 4 years.
Forget the bus, forget the strikers what will determine that game is how we tame Hazard,
at this point I wish we still had
Sagna, he knows how to do that perfectly..
He is clearly just awful as a one on one defender, and that is a key part of Arsenal's defense that
Sagna was quite exceptional
at and that Bellerin is already quite good
at.
I mean look
at Koscielny who was a nobody, look
at Sagna, Coquelin was set to be released, look
at Monreal who was a weak - link
at a point..
Just like alex hleb, flamini... even nasri, clichy,
sagna have success
at their 1st or 2nd season
at city., but where there hell they now?if there still remain
at arsenal, they will be a legend...
The Spanish boss is believed to be keen on bolstering his options
at right - back, with both Bacary
Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta in the latter stages of their footballing careers.
Only one who left but haven't won anything significant is
Sagna, but I think he was already
at that age where he chose the money rather than success.
At full back both Clichy and Bacary
Sagna continued to be ambitious with their attacking runs, but now lacked the defensive support previously afforded to Arsenal by a flat midfield four — as a result Arsenal became particularly vulnerable down the flanks.
However Wenger is confident he can convince Remy to join fellow national team colleagues Laurent Koscielny, Olivier Giroud, Bacary
Sagna and Abou Diaby
at the North London club, with the carrot of Champions League football, if secured, perhaps a likely motivating factor.
I don't blame Wenger for getting Debuchy Its easy to blame him now in hindsight
At the time Debuchy was being chosen ahead of
Sagna on the French Squad Initially he played very well for us.
His fine form earned him a call - up to France's World Cup squad and he started four games
at the FIFA super tournament, being selected ahead of former Arsenal defender Bacary
Sagna.
Last year we had
Sagna whocould cover
at CB and Vermaelen and we were still one player short of having 8 defenders.
Bacary
Sagna is» happy «
at Arsenal says his adviser, Christopher Monga.
He has undoubtedly started that process with the signings of Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane to name but a couple, but it remains to be seen how successful he is in continuing that push
at the end of the season with
Sagna likely to be the first of many moving on.
If you count the injury to Olivier Giroud, the transfers of Danny Welbeck, Mathieu Debuchy, David Ospina and Calum Chambers were not additions to the current squad, they were replacements, because we lost Bacary
Sagna, Thomas Vermaelen and Lukasz Fabianski
at the same time.
this last year, i was amazed
at wenger leaving our defense bare while watching TV5 &
Sagna leave?
The strong competition for places
at City have not been thought to put him off, and
Sagna's arrival could finally spell the end of Aleksander Kolarov's time
at the club as he continues to be linked with Italian sides Roma and Inter Milan.
We've lost
Sagna and Vermalean, and brought in Debunchy and Chambers
at the back.
Available for just # 8m, Manchester City shouldn't have too much trouble finding suitors for out - of - favour defender Micah Richards, who has been somewhat unfortunate in falling behind big names such as Pablo Zabaleta and new signing Bacary
Sagna in the pecking order
at the Etihad Stadium.
Jesus just look
at his stats since 2007 and get back... And there are lots of decent fullbacks who are not troubled by pace alone and Walcott can't dribble with ball never could never will... Granted
Sagna ain't one of them and you were probably one of those calling for us to match his daft wage demand as well and upset when he left last year though it only took a19 yr old reserve to demonstrate just how easy it was to replace him....
The Daily Mirror report that the 23 - year - old is
at the top of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's wanted list of replacements for Bacary

If we are chasing this fella, I would put money on him becoming a solid member along the lines of a
Sagna, but hopefully better
at going forward.
Since the stadium debt has been
at a manageable level we have lost
Sagna and TV5.
Efforts to tie down Bacary
Sagna to a new deal appear to be stalling and with just months left to run on his current deal Arsene Wenger has drawn up a list of potential right - back replacements and Everton's Coleman sits
at the top of the pile.
These six Arsenal players are not needed
at the Emirates anymore, and in all likelihood, the ones that haven't been moved on already will follow the likes of Bacary
Sagna and Lukasz Fabianski out of the club...
He let
sagna, vermaelen and jenkinson go and only brought in 2 replacements when Stevie wonder cud have seen we were way too short
at the back.
Signing him was not a mistake,
Sagna went to City for free, Debuchy was his replacement both
at Arsenal and in this national team as first choice RB.
Eboue was
at his best going forward and the 2006/07 season was his last as a regular starter as Wenger brought in Bacary
Sagna who would make that position his own over the next eight years.
We have seen Pires, Henry, Vieira, Toure, Parlour,
Sagna and Arshavin all opting to move for a longer contract instead of the rolling contract
at Arsenal.
Haha actually reminisced a little... Comparatively we had
Sagna and Gibbs going through extended periods on the sidelines backed by Santos and a very young Jenkinson with Flamini filling in
at LB on occassion...
A case in point, when
Sagna left Arsenal out of panic and thinking we have no one in the academy to succeed him, we went out and paid for Debuchy and Chambers, But guess who actually succeeded
Sagna, a certain 19 year old
at the time from the Arsenal academy — Hector Bellerin.
Since
Sagna left we have been aching
at this position.
At the time, he was backup to Bacary
Sagna and with the Frenchman ageing and thus nearing an Arsenal exit, many thought that perhaps Jenkinson would be a likely replacement.
Wenger's short term solution appears to be trying to move players from other positions to fill the gaps, but today it has been revealed that our old left - back Bacary
Sagna was released by Manchester City
at the end of last season and is currently priced
at 3/1 to head back to make a sensational return the Emirates.
Sagna was not in his hands but we made no replacement
at CB.
I am angry
at Wenger because he did the same thing last season when we started the season with only 2 experienced CB's (and later we found out Kos was also carrying a long - term injury), having had many months to replace TV and our 4th choice CB
Sagna.
IMO Coquelin has never been too poor
at arsenal, I recall watching him cover for injured
Sagna brilliantly.
I agree with you but Chelsea and City have a good defense man across the back four,
Sagna, Mangala Kompany, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Terry, Cahil, Azpilicuet, Ivanovic, now that's a flippin good reliable mature defence
at their prime.
The player was full of promise and many believed
at the time that he had the potential to be Arsenal's first choice right back for many years after Bacary
Sagna's era was over.
Last year we bought Debuchy to replace
Sagna, Ospina for Fabianski, Chambers for TV, Welbeck for Sanogo & Sanchez as the only big signing when we already had Theo, Ox, Poldi (all very good
at the time).
I do remember games when he won us points on his own, like
at Sunderland, standing behind a defense of Aaron Ramsey
at right back,
Sagna and Mert in the middle (I don't remember who was
at left back)-- and he managed to keep a clean sheet.
I thot debuchy was better than
sagna n
at some point gibbs was better than nacho?
Sagna has two years to run on his current deal and may feel that
at this stage of his career he needs to be considering his options.
