Mathieu Flamini has re-joined Arsenal on a free, and I for one am happy to see him back to where he describes as ‘home’.
So our midfield has been bolstered but other areas still need to be improved in the next three days or so. I’m pretty the whole of the Arsenal faithful would like to see a striker and a centre-back come in. And instead of forking out shed loads of money to acquire a defence-minded player, former Gunners captain Tony Adams believes Arsene Wenger should look no further than Eric Dier.
Adams reckons Wenger should find the new Gilberto, who left Arsenal in 2008, and sees Dier as the player to fill the gap left by the Brazilian all those years ago:
‘There’s a kid at Sporting Lisbon, Eric Dier, who’s English, he’s 19, maybe he could fill the gap? He certainly wouldn’t cost £30m or £50m.’
Should Wenger take Adam’s advice and have a look at Dier?
Personally, I would rather Wenger just go for Ashley Williams, as the Welshman is a powerful defender who attains Premier League experience.
Perhaps Dier is a very good defender. I’m sure Adam’s wouldn’t recommend him for no reason. But do we really want another youngster coming through our doors or someone a bit more seasoned who can fight for a starting place in the side?
alcohol befuddled managerial failure. just who we want advice from
Why won’t Wenger take Adam’s and Bould’s advice? We might just get the defence we want.
For all his greatness as a player – Adams is an annoying fool now.
He will NEVER be Arsenal manager because he has been an absolute joke in all his managerial posts. Also – he just talk shit all the time and would bore everyone rigid! Look at what he says here, urging a player to be bought with the magical words “Maybe he could fill the gap”. MAYBE??? Yeah, let’s buy players on a ‘maybe’.
Seriously, he needs to STFU and stop talking about Arsenal
Seriously are you telling me that Wenger knows better than ANYONE at the minute?
Wenger has shit on every achievement and will leave this club tainted and not as the legend he could have been.
It will take us a few years to recover from the mess Wenger has made here.
WE NEEDED A NEW MANAGER AT LEAST 3 YEARS AGO, i HAVE BEEN SAYING IT FOR 5.
And what did Bould advice
What is Gunnersphere talking about, Tony Adams is talking about a defensive midfielder in the mould of Gilberto, and gunnersphere prefers and recomends Ashley Williams who is a defender. Gunnersphere blogger what they have been smoking ?
I too don’t know wht they have been piping on…it was really confusing reading through those lines. & its also funny that just a few of us noticed.
Adams told Wenger to forget about signing Bale as well when they bought Walcott
Shut up Adams you DUMB FUKKIN DONKEY
Your a disgrace. Callin Big Tone that. Not a fuckin Arsenal man at all
who the hell on earth believes wenger will do something new fuck you all to those who still believes in wenger after he fucks us for 8 demn long years with his stingy style…fuck
the article is contradicting and adams, stop trying to play saviour cos even if wenger were sacked u wouldn’t be appointed.
