That be Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere, both who have signed long term contracts with better deals. This, coming right after Arsene Wenger released 9 youngsters, including Amaury Bischoff. Now I don't see the point in signing him last summer. Did Wenger hope he'll be our midfield guru?
Anyway, I like Aaron. Firstly, he's a must better than another Aaron, last name Carter, who is a douche. Does anyone care that he's making a comeback? I don't think he can rival Jesse McCartney in the lolishota-con genre. Gotta see how Dev Patel performs as Zuko in The Last Airbender before starting to mope about how Jesse McCartney should be Zuko instead.
If you haven't watched the Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender, you should.
Then you'll know all our Zuko pain.
So yes, Aaron Ramsey. When he looks like this you have to keep him around.

Maybe Arsene Wenger does hire on looks. Even Verm looks like a younger, better looking Vidic who talks like Robin Van Persie. It might be an Ajax thing.
I think we might see more of Wilshere next season. Last term he only really played in the first half, mostly featuring in the Carling Cup. I suppose when the boys crashed out of it there wasn't anything else to play for at the turn of the year for them so he joined the U18s for their campaign and it worked out so well. Their FA youth cup match came after the senior team closed shop so it was nice to be able to watch Arsenal anyway, and cheer on the lads. Steve Bould did an amazing job.
There is nothing I hate about Arsenal really. Liam Brady is overseeing our Youth Academy. Steve Bould is managing the youth teams. Pat Rice is assistant manager. These are Arsenal greats who aren't chasing the glamour of being the frontman but in the backroom, patiently nurturing the club's crop of youngsters in order for them to make the step up to Arsene Wenger's squad.
I suppose I could call this an anti-cunt system but we already have a product called Cashley. Let's hope he remains the only one.
Ivan Glazidis has never failed to wow us since joining and I gotta love the man. He is sarcastic yet does not blatantly use sarcasm. He puts our perspectives in nicer ways to ward off certain unwanted oily Russian who wants to shake up the board room.
I am sure that our fans do not believe Arsenal is better served by abandoning its self-sustaining model and putting itself in the hands of owners upon whom it is dependent. They want success, and our challenge is to provide it in a model that preserves the traditions and values of Arsenal football club.
We don't have to jump on the Real Madrid bandwagon.
Another club who isn't, is United, who is set to sign Michael Owen from under the noses of Stoke and Hull. I thought this was funny. His brochure actually got to United. It worked. Amazing huh. They couldn't get Benzema so they settled for Owen and saved many moolah.
So yeah, Ramsey and Wilshere are going to be part of this Arsenal future. I can't help but snigger at Liverpool who have to sign Glen Johnson for 17 million just to make up the numbers for home-grown players. To think the stupid non-gooners actually thought Arsenal would have a ball of a time with the home grown rule. I think we're the club who has the least trouble with that.
