With all the rumours flying around about so many of our players leaving it left we wondering who as fans we'd like to see stay and who we'd like to see go. Candidates:
Robbo-GO-Used to love him and even though he's recoved his form slightly, you always worry about him and he is too error-prone.
Chimbonda-STAY-Quality player, Hutton is fantastic to keep Chimbo out the team but if Chimbo is happy to stay and fight he'd be an excellent player to keep, strong in the air, fast and versetile. Keep if we can
Dawson-STAY-I think the boy has talent, both him and Kaboul are not near Woody and Kings class but they are however both quite young (under23) and have a long time to mature in top class CB's. I'd give Daws at least 1-2 more seasons to develop. Wenger leaves alot of his players to bed in, some looking shite for 2 seasons even before you see them turn into something special.
Kaboul-STAY-See Dawson
Assou-Eketto-GO-Too injury prone, fairly average and we have Bale and Gilberto.
Jenas-GO-regretably, it's either him or Zokora and at what they do, Zokora is arguably better. If we got a world class CAM along side Zoko that'd be best for everyone(tiago)
Zokora-STAY-just about willing to give him 1 more season
Lennon-STAY!!!!-Fucking papers why the fuck would be want to sell him. So his delivery could be improved a bit, on his day he is a class act and still very young. Must be coached but def stay!
Malbranque-GO-Love his effot, commitment etc as a RM i'm sure he'd be fine, but he's not going to get in ahead of Lennon and won't want to stay and fight for a place with him. As a LM he just isn't effective enough and if we had a natural left footer with pace, it'd be better.
Huddlestone-STAY-anyone who can pass a ball as well as he can is worth keeping. Seriously though, he's still young and has fantastic ability need to keep to see how he turns out.
Bent-STAY-He is a proven goalscorer and under-rated by our fans who have massive expectations of a player who rarely starts and so finds it hard to get rhythm,form,confidence etc. Again, also young so worth keeping.
So yea out of all the players rumoured to be leaving i actually don't want to many to leave but a few big names who need improving for the top4 i.e robbo and jenas is probably nesseccary, otherwise we do actually have a great squad already just massively bad start to season especially defensively. Sorted that out a bit with woody and hutton, get in a new GK and mabye CB then perhaps a new LM or/and CM and keep most the rest of the squad and we'll be laughing.
I'm assuming the following will leave:
Cerny
Gardener
Stalteri
Rocha
