Looks like he might be okay to me, Czech playmaker, 25, not afraid to put his foot in.

Here's hoping   :)up

A bit lightweight. Spurs were going to bid for him, but we bought Jenas instead ::)

Rosicky from Dortmund?

Very useful.

Rosicky? yes very good

Rosecky? never heard of him


Pedants unite!

He isn't Michael Ballack.

Surely you jest !

very classy midfielder

Very Very good a great signing for the Gooners.

absolutely delighted - i personally reckon he makes the Czexh team tick more than Nedved does.

only caveat is the bundeslige is a poor league so he has to step up a gear to thrive in the premiership - saw that with hleb.  At first he didnt know what hit him.

but chuffed - a really good playmaker

You really are full of it.

If Spurs had signed him, I wonder if you would thought the same?

Very unlikely.

Anyway, Spurs are buying the real thing in Nedved. You can have Rosicky.

He'll be okay as long as your Bulgarian doesn't get him with the poisoned umbrella  ::)

Turn on ITV, and re-live the pain.

nem you and me really will never see eye to eye!!!

lets wait and see - all i said is that he is a great playmaker was great in euro 2004 but ive said he needs to adapt to the pace of the premiersip

yep gl with nedved - think you may need to wait a few years till he is truly at the end of his career and is after a pensioners pay cheque - a la Davids - a player desperate to come to arsenal but we dont give 30 something has beens a contract.

As for ITV - couldnt turn it over quick enough!!!  Would like to watch it but i cant!! to this day i still havent seen the Zaragoza final and i was too pissed at the Parc des Prince to take in the game.  Apparently some guy scored from the halfway line??

Oh yes, that would be the Profit Nayim.

Rosicky is a top class player, a quality signing for arsenal.

im really pleased with the signing. i saw him at highbury when we played dortmund a couple of years ago and he was said to be the danger man. looks good for the czech.

nem i didnt realise spurs were ever after him until i heard it today and yes if spurs signed him  i would say it was a good signing and be pissed off we never as we tried a couple of years back( after 2004 i think )

as for you signing jenas instead of him. the only reason jenas went to you was because he was that bad in the opening game of the season at highbury we didnt want him, and by the way you have to be in the CL to get players of Rosicky's quilities :D

He never managed to live up to his previous transfer fee, or to the hype he had as a 21 year old....

Great player and a great signing for the Gooners.  If he is half as good in real life as he is in champ manager  :D

Seriously though a fantastic player and wenger has an eye for a good player.

Good post

He has signed for £7million

pretty much the same price you paid for Jenas

Yet Rosicky has over 50 international caps and 18 goals and got to the semis of euro 2004 with one of Europe's best international teams over the past 6-8 years.

And you wonder why Wenger hardly buys English??  For this exact reason.

I am being sensible here - yes i would like more English players in the Arsenal team but at the end of the day i want the best players at the right prices and i dont care what their nationality is.

English players are grossly over-priced. 

The reason that English players are over priced is that they are proven in the EPL.

No worries, he can go with that Pleb you bought last season.

Heskey or Henry for £10.5 mill.

Ill take my chance on a World class international rather than a 'proven' premiership player

Crouch, Bramble, Seth Johnston, i cant even be bothered to go on as the list is endless - all average players but grossly over-priced coz they have an English passport.

Hleb is decent - lets see his 2nd season

Or Sean Wright-Philipps for £21m even. ???

SWP was only that price because Chelsea gazumpted Arse.

Part of the reason for the inflated prices of domestic players is because people don't want to release players who will come back to bite them on the arse, and part is because clubs are willing to pay a little bit more for a 'proven' (or just have to barriers to) being a settled performer at this level. There is of course the issue of actually wanting to play a part in the development of the nation teams game - by developing and bringing on some young english players.... plus exchange rates etc etc

Arsenal = Ashley Cole as the only one in Wengers time. (because he rightly got shot of pennant).

And Upson whom Arsene and I never felt was good enough.

I wouldnt say he brought him through, though i'm not sure how many games he played. I thought they only tended to be when they were at the bare bones...

What do all you Gooners think about Fenebache offering £7million for Big Lemon Sol?

Bite-hand-off comes to mind, but I don't think Sol will go to Turkey, because he will be too far away from his "Mummy".

Gazumped by doubling the price ?

2 days interest on his (Abramovichs) money.

Got what he wanted though, look how weak Arse were this season.

As you know Nem., I feel that Sol's best days are behind him, and I feel it would be good business to sell for £7m.

We have Toure, Senderos and the very fine prospect IMO Djourou.

The kid from W.Brom looks good if we could get him into the pipeline.

I think we need a powerful central midfielder and fancy we may take a chance with Joey Barton,
he looks good to me when his mind's on the job, unless of course we decide to go for Diarra or Yaya.

Joey Barton Ralph? really? that surprises me. I hadn't heard that one.

I thought Nigel Reo Coker would be a great catch for a big club in that mould of player


Still Barton is a walking red card, will fit in well  :D

Players like Barton and Reo-Coker shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as clubs like Arse or even Spurs for that matter.

Now that Arse have moved into their lovely new stadium ,they should be competing with the biggest clubs on the planet for players. NOT, buying average players for £7million from broken German Clubs, like Rosicky!

If Barton has a decent temprement he'd be a fantastic prospect. I don't like saying that coz he's a moron but a very good prospect.

Not heard a thing but strikes me as one with potential if he is in control of his temperament.

And I believe we were top or very near it of the fair play league for the last couple of years.

I know, but I go for lazy generalisations..... ::)

nem, 1st point i agree with, 2nd point i dont. Rosicky is not average i think wenger has made a good signing at a good price.

Arse should be competing with Chelsea, not Spurs!

There is no club that can compete with Chelsea financially in world football on financial terms.

The only way to compete is to be smarter and have better forsight in the transfer market.

And of course to get the great young players before them.

In other words to have better management.

That's not really Wenger's style or policy though.

Heskey, Upson and Pennant all mentioned in the same thread, where are they now........??

Well Karabiner seems OK does he not?

Just been answered I think.

another fantastic individual performance
