Its time to start worring

Another humiliating defeat at the hands of chelsea, a 3-0 defeat to anyone is bad, let alone in your own back yard. Although some may argue 3-0 was not a true reflection of the game, not one sole can say we deserved to win that game, we was lacklustre, no creativity, minimal amount of flair, we just didnt look like scoring. We are certainly missing RVP and its only been a couple games. Eduardo looked the shadow of the shadow of himself, that is how bad he was, Arshavin was poor and Nasri didnt look a threat at all. This begs the question is Eduardo going to ever reach the heights he was threatning to reach before that horrific tackle against Birmingham the season before last. Fair enough we have to give the lad time, because a tackle like that is bound to take away something from any player, but how long can we give him before we accept the fact that Eduardo is no longer to cut it at the top level. Some may call this judgement based on one performance but i have long since felt this way about him. He looks off the pace, and severely lacking in confidence, hes touch is poor and the finishing is just not there. Maybe I should give him a bit longer to prove that me wrong, believe me i hope he does, because he was a great player and he has done remarkably well to even come back from an injury like that, but I must say i definetly have my doubts.

Its evident from today's performance that we certainly need a replacement for RVP. We need someone we can depend on, and not someone who is going to take a couple years to adjust, we need instant results. The board say the money is there and I think it is about time Wenger pulls out the checkbook and signs someone. He gambled on Arshavin, and so far that gamble has payed off(except for todays performance). David Villa wants out of Valencia, why not sign him ? He is a proven quality striker, why do we as Arsenal fans not expect to sign these big name players, we are a big team and deserve to buy the best players available to the club. I would also go in for Yaya Toure. Dont get me wrong Alex Song has done great for the club, and has progressed so much in the past couple of season, especially this season, but we need an enforcer in midfield, someone who is going to be able to collectivally improve us defensively. This doesn't mean i would replace Song with Yaya but they could maybe even play in the same team. We cannot expect to compete with Chelsea and Man United with just our starting 11, we need people we can rely on when players get injured, Vela is too young and Eduardo just isn't the same person since the injury. As fans of Arsenal football club we deserve results and we deserve to see the best players at this football club.

Kolo Toure: Legend or Traitor

For those of you who have read the stories about Kolo Toure this morning, you will know that another former Arsenal Player has come out and said 'They pushed me out'. Kolo Toure was a legend at Arsenal and is certainly a fans favourite but after these comments, that reputation will almost certainly tarnish. He had 7 great years at Arsenal, and definitely made his mark on the Arsenal faithful, coming as a complete unknown to become one of the greatest defenders we have had at the club. However hes form did deteriorate towards the end of his time at Arsenal and question marks were left on whether he could still cut it at the top level.

Mr Toure has come out and said that he didn't want to stir up any trouble but states the reason he left the club is because he was pushed out by an un-named player. Now it doesn't take a brain scientist to work out who this player is, it is well documented that Toure and Gallas did not get along together. However i find this very cowardly by Kolo because what ever walk of life we partake in, we will come across people we tend not to get along with, but we don't all quit our jobs we so call 'love'. The facts are that Mr Toure has been spending too much time talking to our old friend Adebayor. Adebayor has been whinging and whining along with Carlos Tevez(formerly of Man Utd) that he was pushed out of the club, and we treated him unfairly. The thing Kolo Toure needs to understand is that he was actually loved by the fans which is more than i can say about Adebayor. All Adebayor and Tevez talk about is how badly they were treated, I cant recollect a time where either have talked in full about their own club without bringing their old clubs into it. This begs the question to me, whether they all regret leaving Arsenal and Man Utd respectively, in order to pursue the get rich quick scheme which is currently operating at City.

At the end of the day Kolo made the decision to leave the club he so called 'loved' and hes reasoning behind it was to say that we pushed him out. Not only does this make him look like a complete and utter wally but it also risks his reputation and love that the Arsenal Fans have for him. I personally will always respect Kolo Toure as a player and as an individual and will always remember the times he had at Arsenal, I also wish him the best at Man City, but I just wish that he would accept the fact that he went for bigger financial initiatives and not because he was pushed out, I would respect him more for saying the truth rather than covering it with a web of lies, like his buddy Adebayor.
