So who is there then? Lennon comes close, but isn't as good. case closed.

Don't forget wunderkind extraordinaire Adel Taarabt. A genuine Damien Commoli SuperSigning as I recall.

So good Ramos took his squad number away and Redknapp sent him out on loan to QPR or somewhere.

Probably looks great on Youtube though.

Lennon almost did more last season than Walcott has done in his entire career, as did Modric. Stop talking about shit you quite clearly know sweet fuck all about.

Surely Modric's most fair comparison at Arsenal would be Fabregas rather than Walcott no?

A comparison which is not quite so favourable to him.

I do agree that, in spite of his injuries, Walcott has done very little to justify the incredible amount of hype surrounding him though.

He's also 2 years older. I think it is a perfectly reasonable assumption that in 2 years Walcott might be a bit better.

Modric has been playing LW since January, and was playing at no. 10 before that, so no.

Do honestly believe that Modric is a more similar player to Walcott than he is to Fabregas?

I would certainly be thinking of him as a playmaker rather than a pacey winger.

Gerrard and Fabregas have both played on the wings, but I don't think that changes the role the type of player they are. Given the balance of the squad Redknapp inherited at Spurs, I don't there can be much doubt that quite a few of your round holes were filled with square pegs.

I don't think he's a similar player to Fabregas no, even if his best position is similar. Its not like its some bizarre alien position for him, its the position he was converted from into a CM.

You're quite impressively missing the point. Luka Modric is not a winger. You could play him in goal and that wouldn't make him a goalkeeper (well it would, but you get my point).

I just can't believe you think he is more similar to Walcott than Fabregas?

On the one hand you have Lennon and Walcott who you expect searing pace and iffy end product from, then on the other you have Fabregas and Modric, creative passing playmakers who pull the strings from the midfield.

Who's is Spurs' "Fabregas" if not Modric?

Jenas? Palacios? Huddlestone?

Come on man.

I don't think he's similar to Walcott, but he's still been playing as a winger rather than in the CM playmaker role. Modric may do similar things as Fabregas when he's in that position but he does it an entirely different way. The only player we have who is similar is Hudd really, and he's not on that level even though he is a great passer.

How so? Lennon and Walcott are also different but can be quite easily compared just as Modric and Fabregas can.

Anyway fuck it, this is just going to carry on forever. You can't compare Modric to Walcott .

EDIT:

I don't think he's similar to Walcott

You were the one that compared him to Walcott in the first place!

You're all getting this Modric crap wrong, the obvious comparison of a central AMF mostly playing LW is Arshavin. The comparison isn't favourable to Modric there

Modric: 40 domestic appearances (34 league), 4 goals, 6 assists

Arshavin: 15 appearances (12 league), 6 goals, 7 assists

Lennon is worse than 1 in 10 and the last 2 years Theo has been way better than Lennon, even with the injuries (don't know if Lennon had injuries and don't particularly care, he is a spud).

Bad Spuds, stop polluting this thread with your dirty white nonsense.

The board have rejected Usmanovs offer of underwriting a rights issue.

Hoo-fucking-Rizzah! Cop that Fatman!

Isn't Arshavin a forward playing in the midfield though? OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

He certainly doesn't belong on the left, he was quoted as being a bit annoyed about that.

Melo may not be off to Juve after all. Marchionne wants a €200,000 salary increase and Fiorentina wont give him anything so the deal has stalled for now. I have no idea where the speculation comes from but we were apparently going to offer (and it be accepted) Senderos, Eboue & €5M

I didn't compare anything, FATE said we didn't have anyone as good as Walcott which is where it all started!

In short its all FATE's fault, AGAIN!

That sounds so gay it's unbelievable. You said '1 in 10' Walcott, which clearly shows you don't know what you're talking about.

I really like Lennon, but he isn't as good as Walcott. Walcott rarely loses the ball, and 9 times out of 10 gets fouled rather than tackled, when he does though, he gets up, smiles at the guy and takes his place ready for the free-kick. He is strong as fuck as well now, and we all know he's the fastest player in the league. In case you hadn't noticed he's got a pretty good shot on either foot as well.

Theo is actually a striker playing on the wing by the way Gooners, for the purposes of developing his all-round game so he doesn't have to rely solely on his pace as I've said in here before. If you wonder why he doesn't play more it's nothing to do with ability, but how Wenger sees his development. Trust me on this, you have a future European/World Player of the Year there.

You're talking about Modric like he's something special, when the fact is he hasn't lived up to his reputation or price tag. 4 goals and 6 assists, whoopee fuckin doo!?

So Dude Ranch who clearly is talking shite when he says Walcott is shit cannot be argued with eh? cause he's the biggest Gooner on here? He strikes me as the typical Arsenal fan which has put them into my disliked fans list. When Walcott scores 2 games in a row he'll be saying he's the best player in the world, like everyone did a couple of years ago with Fabregas, who at the time I might add couldn't get into the Spain squad on a regular let alone the starting line-up.

...stuff about Walcott...

:)

Did you watch the U21’s? I don’t think I’ve ever seen such poor shooting. I do rate Walcott but the guy is not a natural goal scorer and as such will never be a top class striker. Also, Lennon may not have as good a scoring record but I think his general performances are far more consistent. You only have to look at the way he turned Evra inside out whereas Walcott struggled to turn his own underwear inside out. Next season will be pretty big for Walcott as with Eduardo back there should be more competition for places.

Rumours today are that you are (somewhat unsurprisingly) in for Bassong. Quality defender and if Gallas leaves you’ll need another one. Lots of potential in the defence with him and that Dutch chap although I’m not sure I’d want to start the season with a completely new and untested pairing (although Bassong got a lot of testing in the PL last year!).

Have to say I’ve been really impressed with Gibbs, in the games I saw him in last season and in the U21’s he’s looked seriously good and incredibly composed for a player that young. Hell of a pair of left backs you’ve got!

Mostly bollocks, stuff we've heard about 50 million times already but the highlighted bit is just mental - what planet are these people on?

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has revealed the club will only move for Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas if they fail in their attempts to sign Franck Ribery from Bayern Munich.

The Champions League winners have been strongly linked with a move for Fabregas, and were reportedly set to make a bid of around €45 million for the player.

However, the Barca chief has insisted French winger Ribery is at the top of their hit-list, though admitted Bayern are reluctant to part ways with their star man.

"Ribery was a player we were interested in at a logical price but Bayern don't want to sell," Laporta told Spanish television, according to Sky Sports.

"If they are interested in selling, we are interested in buying, but if not, then we will look to Fabregas.

"Compared to him there is no available alternative left in the market, so we will see what happens.

"But after last season we only need small adjustments - a left-back, a central defender, a midfielder and a forward."

Imagine they needed big adjustments.

Sky are reporting that Man City are in talks with Arsenal about Adebayor.

I'm guessing most of you would be quite happy about that...

We've got Walcott, Arshavin and Eduardo who can all play up top. I think we're a bit heavy on strikers with the potential coming through. Plus, Ade's really overrated and we should sell him whilst he's still got value.

I haven't been this amused about a potential sale since someone gave us money for Kevin Shambles (Campbell).
