oh hell no ...just saw on the Arsenal website about Asante and Sanderson ...if losing Asante was not a big enough blow we also lose our top scorer too .

Vic Alers is obviously not happy about it ...but as he says it is not good keeping players who are not happy ..

Will that mean Gemma Davison getting more games .....have not seen Lauren Walker or Jadine Madin ..are they good prospects ....

So will our goal difference suffer because of Lianne leaving ..will we actually be in danger of losing a game even ..

It's a big blow because our other center forward Julie Fleeting does play more than 20 games a season.
So either Gemma does a Thierry Henry and transforms from winger to super center forward and I believe she can or Vic finds a good one on the market but there aren't many.
In defense we are still OK in number but not in quality as we have only 3 seniors and loads of promising youngsters and 2 of those seniors were not good last season.

I think the tide is turning in the league. Could be a few shocks this season.

possibly , we might even lose a game in the league .

One defeat is enough to loose it though.

Lets hope fleets can have an injury free season.

Carry on the winning way and prodcue the kind of exciting attacking football that has been the Gunners trademark for years.

Defend again as team, that's why IMO the failure of last season came from because some players did not pull their weight and some did not perform on a regumar basis.

Win the UEFA Cup again and also all competitions if possible

All that will depend on who else leaves before the window closes.

Arsenal have announced the following friendly games against Crystal Palace, Millwall, Charlton, Barnet, 2 japanese team and the community shield.
All the games will be played at Queenswood school, Potters Bar

Gooner4ever has posted it somewhere else that it is Nathalie Ross coming from Hibs.
I always thought it was Jennifer Beattie for some reason DOH

I've heard a bit about her.

That's good 2 players in for 7 out, balance is a bit better now.

Well I'm gonna apply for the striker's position this afternoon

She is in fantastic form at the moment. She is showing her class at the Nordics and it could be her breakthrough year if Vic gives her enough games.

She deserves her chance after waiting in the wings for so long. But with Kim Little there we she still get over looked.

If we don't get a center forward she will play a lot of games.
I also heard Vic tried to get kylie davies last season, shame she did not come.
With Houhgton and Telford that's 3 england youth player that turned us down last summer.
