Not to bothered about his "natural" position but if he adds abit of flair and unpredictability to our play then thats good enough for me.

Regaular starters at 18 is rare, infact since Cesc and Rooney have their been many if any Wilshere aside? We don't want to rush Josh in, look at Owen played regually as a teen as in now burntout, Rooney is showing signs that he might suffer from the same in a few years and even Wilshere is starting to show signs already:0. Cesc has been made of glass these last couple of years aswell. Iniesta was not a regualar at Barca till he was 21/22 and now they are reaping the rewards of slowly blooding him. It may be frustrating now but when Josh is in his mid 20's and dominating midfield's and Wilshere is getting silly injuries twice or maybe even three times a season we will look back and realise we developed him the right way.

Di Natale time to make yourself my new hero.

Well if Malouda goes he can take his fav 15, everyone's happy

That's what i thought, it would be too weird seeing some-one else use that number, i can't even use that number on fifa for any player just feels wrong imo.

Zola's number 25 aint been officially retired (well no annoncement of it anyway) its just never been used.

Football will be in a much better state if there was more Lukaku's and less Neymar's

A debut goal infront of the Matthew Harding stand will be awesome

Why can't we just sign him and gradully blood him in, if Mata signs and get's injured were back to square one (IE Malouda)

We need to wrap Hilario up in cotton wool the next few weeks, the thought of being left with Turnbull is giving me nightmares.

We aint their rivals tho not anymore, we are a title challenging side and they are a top 6 team, Villa, Everton, Stoke are their rivals now.

Liverpool don't know the meaning of the word debate, unless you tell them Jenny is god and Andres Henderson, Adam Hernandez, Lionel Suarez and Didier Carroll are going to rule europe they cry.

What i find hilarious is that Torres gets branded a mercanry for leaving a team that cannot get into europe for a team that challenges for honours yet Joe Cole gets widely praised for a wise career move despite ditching the double winners for a team in europa (for more money). Why i cannot stand Liverpool is their fans cannot bring themself to accept that this is not the 80's and their team are no longer toast of this country, us, United, Arsenal, City and Spurs have overtook them and Villa and Everton aint that far off doing the same and despite them crying out about Dalgish being their saviour they look further away than ever to winning the title. Torres deserves better players playing with him than Henderson, Lucas, Carroll, Downing, Enrique and co, how many chances did Torres give Liverpool to say match my ambitions? eventully he lost patience and given who they have signed since he has left (Suarez aside) he was more than right to leave. Not only do Liverpool fail to match his ambition's they get rid of the few players they had in Torres ability, Alonso, Mascerano for example and even coming to the end Reina was refusing to rule out leaving aswell, Torres deserves better than that, Liverpool are getting second rate english players while we have spent all summer trying to/have brought to bring in Pastore, Falcao, Lukaku, Aguero, Turan, Sanchez, Mata, Hazard and brought Luiz in the same day as El Nino, the difference in class to who Jenny longball is bringing in is massive. Liverpool fans can point to the 80's and how they are bigger than us historically, but right now we are a much better propisition than Liverpool and can offer better standard of football and that's what hurt's them and what they are struggling to accept is right now they are the 6th best team in England and judging by their summer signing's they have that mentaility aswell.

What like when he came in against Barca kept a clean sheet then followed it up with 2 more in the next 3 games? Yes ok he may be no number one but he is more than an adequate backup.

So glad he is ours, would have kicked myself if i ever saw him in a Arsenal or Madrid shirt.

:goodpost: ive been defending Hilario up against a brick wall for years, getting unfairly slated for the City game been more than reasonable deputy in the past, only worry is he get's injured and we are stuck with Turnbull but even if that happens and were 2 keepers down we will be able to get a emergency goallie anyway.

can' t be any worse then who we have had recently

one quick question with the youth academy do you have to keep investing or when it get's to a certain start rating that's when you stop? and if you do stop will the academy go back down in rating?

LOL LOL

Seeing us play with geniune width again will be soooooooooooooo good

No thanks i prefer Anelka passing sideways and Malouda's shooting from 40 yards

We have delayed it long enough. Time for a In Wenger We Trust banner at Stamford Bridge

Bet one of you will bottle it bout 5 minutes before the match

On another note im investing heavily into the youth system yet im still getting shit players, no wonder this game's free.
