hmm...baptista and gallas... arsenal looks stronger with these two rather than cole and reyes.. cole is such a moneyface while reyes is homesick...gallas has experiences while i like it that with baptista, arsenal looks more physically stronger.. thats what i think they have been missing since viera departure. lets hope arsenal buck up and start a new season with fluidity and power like the Invincibles of 2004!!! :lol:

'He's tough, technically good and has lots of stamina'
By Chris Harris
Julio Baptista was not the only Brazilian completing a move to Arsenal last week. While 'The Beast' was putting the finishing touches to his switch from Real Madrid, an 18-year-old with huge potential and a famous name joined him at Emirates Stadium.
The Denilson that most football fans know had a fine line in stepovers and starred for Real Betis as well as his country. The Denilson that Arsène Wenger has snapped up is Brazil's Under-19 captain and, like his namesake, hails from Sao Paulo.
Arsenal supporters who aren't students of the Brazilian game will know little of Arsenal's latest teenage talent so we asked Rodrigo Cuelo for an insight. According to the BBC Brazil reporter, Wenger has yet another gem on his hands.
"He only really emerged this year and has not been a regular for Sao Paulo, but technically he is very good," Cuelo told Arsenal.com. "He knows what to do with a ball, he is considered a leader and is quite a tough player with a lot of stamina.
"Like a lot of young players he needs to mature but he could develop while out on loan or in the Premiership, because it is a very different league to the one he is used to in Brazil.
"The Sao Paulo supporters are disappointed that he has gone because he is considered to be one of the best new players emerging from Sao Paulo.
"I would compare him to Elano, who scored twice against Argentina on Sunday. Like him, Denilson has started out as a central midfielder but looks like he will gradually play further forward and be more of a creative player.
"At the moment Denilson is a more defensive player, like Gilberto, and will maybe develop into more of a flair player. That is what people expect of Denilson and of course he has to prove he can do that."
Denilson would not be the first Brazilian to prosper at Arsenal. He and Baptista are following in the footsteps of Silvinho, Edu and Gilberto, all of whom coped with the English game and culture. Cuelo expects Denilson to adapt just as quickly.
"I think he will settle well because Arsenal offers a good structure," he said. "You see players like Silvinho, Gilberto and Edu, they felt at home there. They went there without speaking English but they felt at home enough to remain in the club for a long period.
"The structure, the manager and the fact that many players at Arsenal are foreigners makes it easier for a Brazilian to go there. The fact that Gilberto and now Julio Baptista are there will also help Denilson to settle into the English way of life.
"In truth, it should not be difficult for a person raised in Sao Paulo to adapt to London because they are both huge cities, busy places. If he was a guy from the countryside, used to a very peaceful, tropical life, it would be harder. As he is raised in Sao Paulo, I think he will adapt easier."
Either way, there will be plenty of people back home watching the Denilson story unfold. They are getting used to watching Brazilians make a splash at Arsenal, a trend which is making the Gunners a household name in that country.
"There will be a lot of interest in Denilson in Brazil because he is expected to become a big player," agrees Cuelo.
"The reputation of Arsenal is growing in Brazil. If you had asked me 10 years ago I would have said that not many people knew Arsenal, they would know Liverpool and Manchester United. But now Arsenal is a household name, you see kids with Arsenal shirts in the streets, they know that Gilberto, Silvinho and Edu played there. Arsenal are now very well known."

Wenger ponders where Gallas could play on Arsenal debut
Arsenal v Middlesbrough
Barclays Premiership
Emirates Stadium
Sat, Sep 9, 2006, 3pm
By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger may call on the versatility of William Gallas on Saturday against Middlesbrough.
The 29-year-old was signed from Chelsea last week mainly to play at centre back and he may make his debut in that role on Saturday if Johan Djourou fails to recover from a shoulder injury he picked up while playing for Switzerland Under-21s.
However the manager is also struggling to fill the problem position on the left side of his backline. Ashley Cole left in the deal that brought Gallas to Emirates Stadium, Gael Clichy will be absent for another month and Justin Hoyte is more comfortable on the opposite flank. The new recruit may brought in.
“Gallas can play in different positions at the back and that is what we need,” said Wenger in an exclusive interview with Arsenal TV Online. “He is used to the Premiership, he knows what it is all about and what it is to go to difficult places. That is why I am happy to have him.
“He can play left back and there is a possibility he may play there [on Saturday]. At the moment we have problem there. Justin Hoyte prefers to play at right back largely not left back. So [Gallas] is the most capable to sort that out.
“He could play [there] but I don’t know yet. Djourou came back injured, Hoyte had a difficult game yesterday. I will assess it on Friday morning.
“Apart from knocks and bruises from international games which were more or less difficult, nobody else [new] is out.”
Gael Clichy (foot), Abou Diaby (ankle), Lauren (knee) and Philippe Senderos (shoulder) are all still injured.

Wenger - We must find the mental strength to be clinical
Manchester City 1-0 Arsenal
Barclays Premiership
City of Manchester Stadium
Sat, Aug 26, 2006, 5.15pm
on the game
"We lost and that is difficult to swallow. But there are a lot of positives in the game for us. We are not completely fit yet to finish what we create and we lack a little bit of experience in the back. There is a lot of disappointment in the dressing room because we want to do well and have a great spirit but I hope this will not affect our belief and our confidence. We will quickly start to win these sorts of games but we are not quite ready physically at the moment."
on the fitness of his side
"After the World Cup we knew we could suffer at the start of the season, especially with the Champions League qualifier. We have had a disappointing start also there was a lot of hope in the way that we play and we approach the game. We have to push that through and be strong enough mentally to continue with the way that we play and be clinical."
on not creating chances despite so much possession
"Yes we lack that a little bit at the moment. When you are as not as sharp as you should be that is where you see it the most. You could say that we overelaborated a little bit. Sometimes we could take our chances earlier and quicker. That was the case against Villa and Zagreb. It happens when you do not score early. But we know we have the quality to score goals."
on losing ground on the leaders
"It is very early. If you want to nominate a champion after three games then it is up to you but we have only played two. We will come back into the race don’t worry."
on the Ashley Cole situation
"This situation does not affect our preparation and our spirit. At a big club you have to be strong enough to cope with that. If it happens then it happens, it does not excuse our result today. It is not annoying. When a player wants to go, he wants to go. When we decide to let him go then we decide to let him go. We will have to live with that decision."
on City targetting Hoyte
"They went for long balls to Corradi and Sinclair. They targeted him but overall Justin had a good game. He had two misjudgements on long balls but he had quite a good game."
on the penalty decision
"I feel it was a penalty, I cannot argue with that. Just before that it was a foul on Fabregas I don’t think you can argue with that. Also there was a penalty on Robin van Persie. I have seen it on the tape and it is difficult to argue with that too."
