Benayoun was on loan and I doubt we will renew.

I only drop into the Arsenal thread for any and all things DENCH ...
This is Emmanuel Frimpong rapping, maybe the most DENCH shite of all-time.

I saw that earlier. I frankly don't understand anything Frimpong says most of the time.
Speaking of which, how do you guys think Coquelin looked. Morrison beat him on the dribble for the first goal, but otherwise I thought he did okay. I still think he's a bit lightweight, and honestly prefer him over Jenkinson at the moment at RB. Carl is really fast and has a good cross, but he isn't very good at defending right now.

I thought Coquelin looked better as right back than as a defensive mid. That being said he played ok there on Sunday as wel. But i really like Jenkinson, his defending might not be as good as Sagna's but he wasn't responsible for either of the goals or any really serious oppurtunities

Only due to the profligacy of Fortune, who fluffed two or three chances after beating him on the dribble. Our right side was problematic all game defensively.

I actually thought Coquelin was quite poor Saturday. Made some bad passes, wasn't disciplined positionally, and held onto the ball too long on multiple occasions.
Hi-Jenks is a much better prospect than I initially thought. I think he's further along than Gibbs was when Gibbs first started playing for us. He does need to improve defensively.
As for seeing a lineup 30 plus times, that's unrealistic and suboptimal. Rotation would be nice to keep our players fresh. Hopefully we wrap up M'Vila quickly and work on moving dead weight along.

If Fortune had felt like diving, he probably could have gotten a penalty from Hi-Jenks.

It was kind of a dick move for Wenger to throw him in the fire. The same goes for Carl. Coquelin wasn't prepared for the physical nature of that game. He was skipped past quite easily at times. This is another wrench to throw in the Coquelin v Frimpong debate. One thing Manu has is physicality, as he's amazingly strong. He doesn't have the technique, but his athleticism gives him a good chance defensively.

We now interrupt this serious discussion with a pic of Mrs. Sagna.

You still would be lacking skin that is the color of charcoal and the hair of Bronson Arroyo.

True.. I don't have that.. also this is the first google result.. little bit for both sides of the soccer pitch.
ETA: not sure how bannable it is.. just google Sagna's wife.

I see Khedira copping a feel on his naked GF's tit doing that search, still good stuff, but not finding something of substance on Sagna's broad.

RVP to meet with officials tomorrow expected to get offered a 26mill 3yr contract, 130K weekly, but apparently 220K weekly wages offered from City. And of course the rumor that his agent was spotted at the Eithad.
Quoting what I just heard on sky sports news, fwiw

Why does Arsenal not put up the cash for their players? Is it a Wenger philosophy? Is it a board mandate? Can they just not afford it while paying off the new stadium?
It just seems like Arsenal will never get over the hump if they keep letting the best players leave. It would be miserable seeing Nasri, Clichy, and Van Persie in City blue.
