i wouldnt take out vermalen, i think he has been great, but like i said i personally dont think senderos is that bad

diaby has much greater ability than denilson, but the latter has much more consistency...thats the way i see it. its a shame denilson got injured so early this season, he was showin great form and linkin up beautifully with song and fab...

as long as senderos is before silvestre i'm happy, i've always been a fan of senderos, have always liked what he gave us in defence, something unique that no other arsenal defender had . . . . . . the ability to header the farkin ball from corners and free kicks (not like diaby lol)

Have to agree with you Elliott. He's not the most mobile CD, but he's a great header of the ball and when in form, he's brilliant.

As for Denilson vs Diaby, I've been impressed with Diaby this season. He's become a bit more consistent and improved his tackling, although it still needs more work, particually his slide tackling. I'd like to see Diaby having a crack from distance a little more, and to work on his shooting outside the box as he's got great power on his shots.

I must say good luck to Senderos. I really liked him, and it's a pity it didn't work out for him at Arsenal. He is such a competitor and we have to remember he played a key role in our run to the CL final back in 2006 and had great games against AC MIlan in 08. Hopefully he gets a good run without injuries and can play some good football again (and get the captain's armband somewhere in the future which he'll deserve).

he's mentally fragile as f***! for me he won't be missed...above average ability, but with that kind of mental strength he wont cut it in a 'big' team, i think he'll be well suit to fulham. if only we could get hangelaand...

Havn't you got anything nice to say about any Arsenal player Mash? Are any of them any good, have any of them turned in a good performance?

i make a criticism of senderos so now i hate all the players. are u serious lachie? if u actually bothered reading this forum more often rather than come on once a month to make the odd post u'd see how highly i rate sagna, verm, sol, cesc, ramsey, song, rvp, arshavin, wilshere and even eboue!

Settle down kitty cats . Mash is our resident "swear bear" Lachie and he generally does write inciteful and accurate posts.It's just his opinion (normally colourful and passionate) but you have obviously noticed a lot of player bashing on here which is a bit disturbing.
IMO i liked senderos and thought he always tried his best and did make our defence look less vulnerable at free kicks but he could be a bit clumsy at times as seen the other day tackling his own player and hurting his ankle putting him out of the world cup

Lighten up Mash, I knew that would wind you up! It was a joke.

my bad mate, im a bit nervy with the socceroos n all haha, im gonna be shittin bricks come thurs morn...

No worries Mash, good thing the post wasn't on Silvestre!
