Year 2008-09

Guys,

Last year showcased the depth and future in our squad. As always our team had been questioned before the start of last season itself on the ability of the young thin side. Knowing our fans, we know that you guys are never satisfied. We should not forget the fact that eventhough there are no new trophies in our shelves, we were one of the top four in the two E's. To be precise, England and Europe.

Young gunners like Denilson, Song and Bendtner executed the plot laid by the meticulous French Craftsman Arsene Wenger. We all were equally thrilled to see the quality in the squad which never boasted of experience. Maybe we missed Cesc for few months but considering the fact that this led lads like Denilson and Song to take up more responsibilities and mature abruptly, it was good. Walcott got better every game he played. Van Persie with so little support upfront did considerably well.

We missed the swiftness of Eduardo, but got to see some promise in Bendtner and Vela. There were few occassions when we lacked the experience, which led to eagle eyed Wenger to bring in Andrei Arshavin. Time-tested Arshavin led our team to few good games. He blended well with the team in no time and he was seen as the gap filler on the experience front. Rosicky was another deadly weapon which never fired last season and was well concealed in the Arsenal of Arsenal.

Will discuss on Year 2009-10 in our next posting for you.

Few of your fellow Arsenal fans would agree with you that Bendtner showed promise.

Though the squad never boasted of any experience, what Arsene Wenger tried to pull off was something that he thought was possible with just talent. He learnt it the hard way and was forced to/had to buy Arshavin for a club record fee. Of course talent is one thing, but Wenger now knows better than any one that to be top in Europe and England experience plays an equally important part.

Well let me not get other Arsenal fans confused. I am not an Arsenal fan at all.

And oh ya. forgot this. Please get rid of Diaby and Silvestre.

Do you think we should look ahead without Arshavin?
