It appears arsenal have signed tomas rosicky from dortmund.
If true its a quality signing
****.hes class!!!
Aye he is alright from the few times i have seen him.
good for both sides,. for Arsenal and also big step forward for Tomas. as i know he also negotiated with Atletico Madrid,. but i think Arsenal is better choice.. good.
Apparently Dortmund paid £18m for him! I wonder how much we got him for... Seems like a quality signing, I'm surprised no-one picked up on it really, since he was close to signing in January and his agent was saying it'd probably go through in the summer. I wondered what was happening on that front... Seems like a very good start for next season!
£6.8 mill apparently,he has a clause in his contract
Bargain that!
He seems like a great signing overall, only 2 downsides, he's hardly prolific, scoring 20 goals in 5 and a half seasons, though 15 in 53 internationals isn't so bad and he's another that'll be out muscled by the likes of Bolton no doubt... Apparently he was brought down 38 times in one game against Bayern Munich and they had 2 players sent off as a result! So if he gets the players sent off who foul him it'll be alright I guess...
Still, he'll be another technically gifted player who should sign in europe at least, so hopefully we'll be able to go one better next season! I just hope we add some more firepower and physicality now, which is what we really need... Could mean the end of Pires' Arsenal career now though...
Shine, not sign! In europe that is.
He said Arsenal are the best club in europe too!
Well hes talkin out of his ass on that one.
But yeah hes a quality player, and i can only see the end of hleb as they are the same sort of player.
Hes an attacking midfielder thats why he hasnt scord as many goals as ppl think he has. Hes not a striker, hes a playmaker
I hardly think it'll spell the end of Hleb since he's only been with us a year and he's done well so far, I'm sure there's room for both... I mean you want 2 players for every position anyway. It'd be nice if he'd add more goals from midfield though.
Anyway, he's entitled to his opinion! People say Barca are the best team in europe, but they scraped a victory against 10 man Arsenal so it could be argued we're better than them at least.
Yeah but Barca also won La Liga and Arsenal finished 4th in the Prem.
barca are the best team in europe theres no arguing that.
we were linked with rosicky a little while ago so im wondering why we didnt bid.....
We were after him when softarse was in charge.
Here's the full quote from Rosicky...
He declared: "Why Arsenal? Because I think they are the best club in Europe. Arsenal showed us in the Champions League that they are such a strong side, with big potential."
He added: "There are a lot of young guys - I think we can be even better next season. When I was 20, I played at Highbury (for Sparta Prague) and scored too, there was a great atmosphere.
"I have been waiting for this move and am very happy to be here and will give everything for Arsenal."
Rosicky is relishing the opportunity to play alongside Henry.
"It was great news - he is the best striker in the world and everybody knows that," Rosicky told Arsenal TV Online.
I bet they wouldn't have won the prem though.Quote:
