Rosicky and Ramsey back in training for Arsenal
Arsenal are finally starting to get some players back, after what seems like forever. Tomas Rosicky has not played for the Gunners all season, following a tendon injury he suffered while playing for the Czech Republic at Euro 2012. The 32-year old playmaker trained with his Arsenal team mates today at London Colney and his recovery will be a boost to everyone.
It is likely to take Rosicky a few weeks to get back to full fitness, but it will then give Arsene Wenger more options, which will be a relief after the blighted start the squad has endured. Santi Cazorla might even get to have a rest, or he could try his luck on the wings when Rosicky is back.
Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were due to have fitness tests, and both players trained today, so they could be in the squad to face Fulham tomorrow. Ramsey gets a hard time off Gooners, but I think that too much is expected of the young man, especially when Wenger sticks him on the wing.
Wojciech Szczesny completed 90 minutes with the under 21 team today and could be included in the squad for tomorrow, although Vito Mannone will start. At last we have two good keepers who will push each other for the starting role.
Hopefully, Arsenal will get a lift from this and go into the match against Fulham with a positive attitude. A good win and performance is just what we need ahead of the visit of Tottenham next weekend.
We’re saved…

Seriously need Gibbs back. But we still don’t have deadly, fullblood winger.
Anyways, good to have Sczcesny back but Mannone was our best player (if not Sagna) against Schalke.

Szczesny is still first choice..veto lacks the confidence it seems.
And thank God for Rosicky, I just wish he wouldn’t be injured for half of every season, it puts too much pressure on the squad.
And is it only me or does Chamberlain not seem as explosive anymore? He was a menace when he’d started last year.

I am not at all optimistic but
if rosicky finds form
if diaby remains injury free after return
if walcott and sagna sign new contract
if we buy new left back and new world class winger
and if wenger plays everyone in their proper position
we can make a return and with luck can win league.
lots of if but possible.
next 3 games including champions league games at home wil decide our this season.

If we want to progress as a football club the likes of Ramsey, Gervinho and Fabianski need to piss off.

NOT TOO MUCH IS EXPECTED FROM RAMSEY…
HE SHOULD DO HIS JOB AND SHOW SOME COURAGE AND BALLS, THAT IS WHAT THE FANS WANT. HE IS A WEAK ASS FOOL.
I RATHER WATCH AN AVERAGE PLAYER WHO COMPENSATE HIS LACK OF SKILLS BY A GREAT FIGHTING SPIRIT THAN SOMEONE LIKE RAMSEY.

both arsharvin and chamakh have shown quality and an eagerness to play recently, why not give them a start? i no many fans will sigh at this but if we dont rotate players will burn out like the pod and cazorla are showing already. goals can lift players especially strikers just like a lack of goals can destroy them. what the hell must chamakh be thinking after his great display against reading only to be kicked to the kerb again for godknows how long. are players like him and arharvin really not good enough for arsenal or does wengers handling of such players have something to do with it.

Lots of ifs….i agree…but,we have much bigger chances with rosicky…he is a class..we need to spend some money for world class players..LB..defensive midfielder..striker…and maybe hesus navas for the right wing..he is speedy gonzales…great player…
We love you ARSENAL we do,we love you ARSENAL we do!!!!!!!!

Correct. Players like Arshavin, Chamakh, Eisfeld and Coquelin performed very well against Reading, they need to be given a start in the league.
If Ramsey is fit though, expect him to be in the starting lineup automatically tomorrow regardless of his form over the past year.
Hopefully instead Arshavin or Coquelin will get the nod in the middle, with Coquelin as DMF and Arteta-Cazorla as AMF. Or Cazrola-Arshavin AMF and Arteta as DMF.

Arshavin and Rosicky should have been the natural replacement for Nasri and Fabregas at the start of last saeson, but Wenger didn’t let that partnership build like he is now doing with Giroud up front every game and Podolski out wide.
Instead he got Ramsey into the first team not only did that put Arshavin out wide, but it also kept Rosicky out of the team as well, because Arteta was occupying that position, and he favoured Ramsey ahead of Rosicky.

We just need a good run over the next 2 or 3 games and everything could be looking much more rosy.
Up to Wenger to sort it out and the players to show some big cahona’s and fcuking start playing like we know they can.
All this transfer talk and b*llshit with all our players leaving can’t be helping our players morale or concentration. Theo and Sagna to leave next, how can the players gel and fulfill their potential when the board is letting their teammates drop like flies left, right and centre??
Can only watch and hope for the best

leave ramsey on the bench for now,we need to get the ox into the team on one of the flanks with walcott,put podolski upfront(better finisher than giroud).
@malyqprince
if we get a proper DM,arteta wont get into team.i think this would signify strength in depth.

My personal line up for Saturday.
Giroud – Walcott
Arshavin
Podolski – – Ox if fit (If not Gnarby/Eisfield)
Arteta
Coquelin – Vermaelen – Mertesacker – Sagna
Mannone
Maybe also rest Podolski, and play Arshavin there on the wing, and Ramsey/Eisfield further up. Cazorla to geta rest, and a 2 man uo front. Formation = 4-1-2-1-2

Thts great
not ramsey is back
but rosicsky
coz currently arsenal lack creativity
n I don’t think there’s a player better than rosicky
how to create chances
last season he was just fantastic
driving out every defender outta position with his clever turn n one two passes
especially in the second half of the season
rosicky will ease the burden off cazorla n wilshere
n the versatility rosicky provides is fantastic
wenger can play him on wings
as midfielder
as playmaker
Thts great

AFC has lost the plot. Some good players, but played out of position. I agree Ramsey needs to be put in the second team for 3 mths to see if he improves.
AFC has no idea anymore of changing a team, trying out new things with the players they have.
Every other team knows how AFC will play, exactly when the subs will come on, and who will come on depending on teamsheet.
AFC are heading down a long tunnel of darkness and if it continues they will never get back out.
AW needs to leave the team selection to Bould and go sit up with the board.
AW in my opinion has never been a coach for AFC, he has no strategies to change the team when things are going wrong, he relies on the same subs at exactly 70 mins hoping something will happen.
AW has not lost it, he never had it.
Still thanks for his econimic input, but we need a real football coach.

Profit is not cash. I am an accountant. Give a company that is making a loss and I can turn that loss into profit…..cash is king in any business and the sad fact is that chelsea still owe abramovich hundreds of millions, so please enough with the incorrect statement

Please don’t take Chelski announcing a £1m profit as gospel, this is innovative accounting in preparation for FFP coming in next year!!
Just look at what they’ve spent in the last 24 months …..prize money don’t even touch this figure.

Abso chuffed Rosickys back, i also like the idea of Cazorla on the wings now and then as we dont seem to have near the same penetration as years gone, i would have even hoped to see him drift out there when midf conjested, i find it very unprofessional of our players discontent towards playing on our wings, Walcott the ring leader also Arshavin and now Podolski who has just arrived i may be forgetting someone but these are seasoned internationals who must see what we see in that we have a problem with our wing play, you hear them after they have had a very good display that it wernt about one man it were about the hole team, these lads dont sound like team players to me, i may be a wrong in adding Arshavin as he barely ever says two words, my point though is you only have to look at Rooney to see how a team player acts, on the pitch, im sure that he would much prefer to play the rvp role, you could put Rooney at RB and he would get on with it and give you his all then most importantly not bitch about it

Oh Wonderful – Ramsey is back.(Sarcasm)
The article states that too much is expected from Ramsey. For many gooners this is true. They expect him to play football and he cannot.
As for me, I have come to expect only more horrible performances and he delivers this each time.
I’m sure he’s a nice person – not a good jusification for stinking up the pitch each weekend.

Wilshere DM, Diaby DM, Rosicky CAM, Cazorla LF, Ox RF, Giroud ST.
Oooh that could be a deadly combo. There’s a lot of versatility so players won’t have to strictly keep to their positions and just fill in as they attack or defend.

I was very happy to see Rosicky back but why bother putting ramsey on the headline. I just wished instead of diaby, rosicky keep getting injured it was santos, ramsey who get injured. Also, based on performance dare i say vermalaen should be dropped n coquelin should start in full back.

As for ROSICKY, I’ve missed him like cray… Part of what has gone wrong this season is that we haven’t been able to transfer our winning ways (from last season) to this season. Big thanks VanPershit, Alex Sunk, walcotts injury at the beginning and Rosicky’s.. These were very important players in our last campaign. So I think we didn’t have enough (important and old-team) players to groom the new ones. So we jst started all over again this season.
As for RAMSEY, I still don’t know why many gooners get mad at the poor boy who gives everything to the club regardless where he plays; he is a central MF and has been very good whenever he plays his natural role. Buh he also has such a high work rate that the team always needs. Doesn’t give up so easily. Yet, many still do not appreciate and its so sad…

what we actually miss is Abou Diaby. When he played, he was undoubtedly the best player barring the City game. We need him badly and we can see that. He controls the midfield. And I would go one step ahead and say we need him more than we need a attacker or a defender. Get him fit or buy a player of his caliber. And there is only one player if I am correct and that is Yaya Toure. There is no player who can carry the ball as good as Abou Diaby in todays date. If there is then we should make that player our priority in Winter Transfer.
