But a china tea cup isn’t very strong

I ‘ll think we’ll go with hleb in the 10 spot. although it really would help if he would shoot, you know, once even.

and I agree mickey, this is a big season for rosicky, we all saw at the end of last season how he started scoring again, but then bam, another injury. it’s not possible for someone to get injured that much. or is he another robben? great player but strong as a china tea cup.

I think he will get some playing time because I think Walcott will still play mostly on the wings. It’s all going to come down to injuries. Adebayor is set to miss the opener which either gives Bendtner a start or Eduardo his debut. I think Nick will be quite good this year. We’ll see

Might miss the start of the season

We won it with the likes of Overmars, Pires and Ljungberg hitting double figures (I know they did not all play at the same time), Man U won it with Beckham, Scholes, Giggs and more recentley Ronaldo hitting double figures. Chelsea won the league when Lampard was scoring for fun.

The problem we have is that we are too dependant on our strikers for goals, our midfield simply do not contribute enough goals and I think that this will be our weakness this season.

Hleb has said he wants to score 10 goals + this season – can anyone see this happening? bearing in mind he probably did not shoot 10 times all last season.

How is it that Cesc can pass the ball to a player any where on the pitch without even thinking, but he cant put the ball past a keeper from 18 yards?

Gilberto scored alot last season (well alot for him anyway) but most of these were from penalties, wich you would imagine that Van Persie or Eduardo will now take. Gilberto should be chipping in with 5 or 6 from set pieces though.

Rosicky is the one that frustrates me the most, He has the pace and skills to go past defenders, he has an awsome shot on him and never looks rushed on the ball – how he is not scoring 10 – 15 goals a season has to be down to injuries – hopefully once he is fit we will see the real him.

I know they are only squad players, but I would like to see Denilson and Walcott get on the score sheet more this season aswell.

Hopefully the midfield will look up this season, see Henry is not there and have a go their selves – once on goes in……. well you all know what I mean

I just odn’t know what wegner has in mind for him right now. another season on the wings would be pointless for him.

1. RVP
2. Ade
3. Eduardo
4. Walcott
5. Bendtner

Carling Cup it is for him.

Walcott is still a problem, he just relies on speed and its not enough. I dread it any time Song plays, I hope its never in an away game.

Bentdner has a big ego, and stil has a lot to learn.

After all the talk about super players we end up with 2 new first team players, theres still severl superstars out there, but AW wont pay over ten million
