What do you know about Laurent Koscielny?
What do you know about Arsenal’s possible new signing and what are your honest expectations of him?
fuck all
I haven’t seen him play but would trust Arsene rating of him.
great tackle and brillant header. has a good eye for a goal. btw he is already in london for finalizing the transfer!!
He is new cygan/senderos/vivas etc.
What do I know?
Well I know that we haven’t signed him yet
He is a Lorient defender the whole footballing world is aware we are signing.
Wenger’s classic definition of a world class defender who has taken him the whole year to monitor and sign at his own valuation.
Lets cut the c**p.
Just how long does it take an ambitious club to identify its problem and take positive action to solve it?
We take years monitoring players and months preparing bid until other teams come in and bid the player out of our reach.
C-Ronaldo anyone.
how do you know he is london arsenal4ever.i have never seen him play personaly but i trust Aw.
Any thing can happen negative or positive 4 him.
-two footed…so can play on left CB position (Primarily right foot use)
-excellent positioning
-good in the air
Thats about it
From what i have seen, he scores goals and gets sent off. We don’t really need a defender that gets forward all the time and scores goals. We need someone who can help us not conceed goals
Thats my opinion
But im sure AW knows better
That he has only played one season in a top flight division
No international experience
Limited if any experience of playing in europe
If he is back up then fair enough – but lot of money for back up.
If this is the replacement for the experienced Gallas then this does concern me.
Lets face it AW does not have a good track record for buying central defenders. Sol was a free, and Gallas was part exchange deal so cant count those.
Senderos didnt work out whilst the likes of Stepanovs and Cygan still give me nightmares.
Th14 he is in London with his agent it was on the lorient website. I know he can tackle, header,pass and score he will complement verm as verm can run and koisc (spellin lol) can be the rock ie he is tall and strong. All in all it’s a pretty much done deal wooooop
I know nothing. But hopefully he can follow the example of Song, who came from unknown club too (Bastia) but shine after all.
all i know is that he is unknown by a majority of arsenal fans but well know by grimandi and wenger.
Had the highest tackles last season for French league 256 with 26 the head, has been in london since wednesday with his agent. he is coming for around 12.4 euros. french league is rugged if you get this result u can play anywhere. u can find more of his news at fclorient.net
Arsene know best,spending €12m for unknown player,i think there is something special about him and am sure Inshallah he will form a very great partnership with Vermaelen.
enshallah
ENSHALLLAAAAA!!!!!
Well we have lost Gallas, Silvestre and also Campbell looks likely to leave so that leaves us with the excellent Vermaelin and the not so excellent but half decent djorou – anything would be something at this stage……
Lets face it AW does not have a good track record for buying central defenders. Sol was a free, and Gallas was part exchange deal so cant count those.
samwise
Was not AW responsible for bring those players to the club even if he didnt pay cash for them.
joseph – yes of course he was responsible for bringing them to the club. however i said the words ‘buying’ which normally means exchanging cash, ie we give the other team cash for the player. we did not do that for those two players.
AW has only bought (off another team) one good central defender, Vermalen. Admittedly i was initially bit sceptical about him and glad that i was wrong. I hope my sceptism will be wrong again. I really do. and he may turn out to be a gem, a bargain just like TV.
But stepanovs, vivas, luzhny, tavliaridis, and (shudder…) cygan….
Wenger only signs unknowns in order to feed he’s own over inflated ego if they should ever come good. Wenger does whats best for Wenger. We will start with the same GK and more or less the same inadequate team that the fool thinks that if he waits long enough will come good. No wonder Cesc wants out. Wenger is an ancient relic and well passed his sell by. The sooner he fucks off the sooner Arsenal Football Club can move on instead of stagnating under his pathetic management.
i saw him score an own goal once when he tried to clear a ball, he slipped and the ball his a team mate on the back. then it came off his head and went in the goal
it was pathetic
len the sooner you fuk off the better. what have you done for Arsenal? i bet ur a plastic wehos probably never even been to watch arsenal live.
what makes you know better then wenger how to run a football club.
its plastic wankers like you that give arsenal fans a bad name.
Thenry well said mate Len u do sound like a fuckin fake cock muncher go support the chavz you plastic finger fucker
i think of him as another cheap buy that all arsenal fans has to wait for maybe the next 3 years before he becomes a good premiership defender and then sell him!
I thought our club shud have passed dis kind of level.imagine a world class team lyk ‘Arsenal’ still chasing ‘mediocre’ players who have no other intentions than to develop and then move to madrid or barca.no wonder barca sees us as nursery.when will we start behaving like a big club?
Len you seem pompous and inadequate. Samwise, not so wise as usual.
With this probable signing I am thinking why do we spend years coaching an preparing young guys then go for a virtual no name compared to the players Man City – Chelsea are siging.Don,t tell me it is money – may it’s French !!!! About distgusted
I meant exactly what I said previously . However the Boss has been great at picking up “no names” can just hope at this late stage of the transfer season he has pulled of another one. HERES HOPING
Pretty much Wenger’s typical signing. Unknown quantity. Recommended by Grimandi.Definitely more like a Cygan signing rather than Sagna, Vermalen thing.
10M for a defender from a small club? Pretty much a gamble, better buying players from Premiership or even better from Africa.
why are u pple complaining abt d fee.u too knw wel dat market are overinflated.we all live in a world where we gamble.if lee prof signs him he is d judge.bt i will want him 2 take a gamble on german khedira & brazilian nilmar
I hope he will be good like vamaline.
And what do you know about Arsen Wenger???
i know wenger is a total idiot and should be fired
we will not win anything , until this egoistic fool leaves the club
in friendly matches can see if there was good quality and I think that Wenger will not stop with a quarterback but will still buy even a protective
there is no such position in football called a quarterback, and it’s football not soccer because one it’s played with a ball and too that was the name given to the game all those years ago, try and distinguish the two
no one knew of Winterburn,Bould Dixon,Seaman, Keown,Adams the rest is history, everyone moan about TV and look how he turned out, wait until we are ten games in or more before judgement is cast, stop the negativity, and for once try to be positive, look at the state of Liverpool, Manure’s debt, even the Chav’s team will be a year older this season, I can only see this team going upwards
I dont understand why so many “fans” disklike Wenger.
He has kept the team competitive during a really difficult period.
We moved stadium at the same time our best squad ever was also aging and leaving… Pires, Vieira, Henry, Bergkamp, etc..
We have stayed in the CL since he took over, even with a squad that has players people dont like, Denilson, Almunia, Diaby, etc..
Man City spent how much to get to the CL? and they still failed… Spurs managed it after spending a lot more than us, Liverpool has only challenged for the Premiership twice since it started despite spending way more than us.
Chelsea had a sugardaddy who spent almost £500m on a squad and the best managers in the world. Man Utd also spend like crazy, Rooney, Ronaldo, Ferdinard and Berbatov alone are worth more than what our whole squad cost to assemble… or around the same and are now in really bad debt.
So please stfu when you say Wenger is past it, you do realise that you are moaning and disrepecting the most succesful manager the club has ever had?
You dont know what you have until you loose it.
If Wenger beleives Arsenal need Koscielny then I agree with him, he wont spend that much on a player without knowing that player has the qualities needed to be an Arsenal player.
Yes, he could make a mistake, but who hasnt? Ferguson is the most successful manager and he spent like £30m on Veron, tons on Djemba Djemba… they are human and make mistakes.
There is no guarantee that Koscielny will be good, but there is not guarantee that a £30m defender will be good either.
well said ” arsenalboy”
