Suprise suprise, RVP pulls out of holland friendly when he plays for United, never did that at arsenal did he?

How Wenger doesn't just tell certain players like cazorla, wilshere, etc to pick up a mystery injury which keeps them out but no we just moan and send them off to get injured, morons.

Wenger is THE moron

Biggus

Hmmm don't know what to make of this yet, could it just be a simple straightforword case of Fergi telling him he as to rest and can't play for Holland like Wenger never did, or dare we hope that the the first cracks are appearing in his fitness.

Footbonaut.
Four sided ball feeding machine erected on a 14m square grid, used in training by Dortmund since March.
64 targets to aim at in a 360 degree environment.
Aim is that it develops technique and vision.

Looks impressive, but I wonder if these type of training machines really make a big difference?
Given that Dortmund are using it I'm inclined to think that they are on the right track.

That's a brilliant machine.

Burnwinter

That's amazing.

You wonder what sort of metronomic passer would be turned out by 10,000 hours on that thing. Hopefully it doesn't "train out" the ability to see more difficult / long-distance passing targets.

Bosscielny

We probably do have one of those machines.

Except instead of having 64 targets to aim at, it would have three. One to the left of you, one to the right of you and one directly behind. You pass it forward and you lose.

Biggus

😆 It goes ERROR- ERROR- DOES- NOT- COMPUTE

Bosscielny

😆

Then you get sold.

Burnwinter

The Denilson Machine 😆

Biggus

😆 Ah yes the DEN-2000 very popular model in Spain.

Looks a brilliant machine. Right up Wengie's ally as well.
Expect us to have funds to purchase a few of those. 🙁

Biggus

Ralph Malph was pretty average though.

Timbob

Good machine, but nothing new in terms of training drills. Liverpool had something similar as far back as Shankly;

A famous drill, Shankly created, was dubbed the ‘sweat box’. He explained,
"Using boards like the walls of a house with players playing the ball off one wall and on to the next; the ball was played against the boards, you controlled it, turned around and took it again”.[/quote]
There's also those Reboundbox things.

Captain

It's not the same as the machine above has colour recognition and I'm going to assume it has aural stimulus as well. Much better for difficulty incline.

lorddulaarsenal

Eisfeld is a product of that machine y'all

Klaus

If anyone has an hour and a half to spare they need to watch this compilation I just found on Youtube:

Laudrup was the best passer to ever play the game.

Rex

Not going to spend an hour there, but every time I think of Laudrup I think of a certain special pass when playing for Denmark. Best pass I have ever seen.

Rex

What you don't see from that vid are all the passes he missed. What I am getting at is the pointless stat 'pass completion rate'. Laudrup for me was THE best decisive passer I have ever had the good fortune to see. I'd bet though that he throughout his career had nothing but decent pass percentages. What happens when you attempt the difficult, game changing pass a lot.

There have been strong rumours over the last few days that David Beckham may be considering the possibility of joining the A League and he has just announced that he will be leaving the Galaxy after next months MLS final for "one last challenge" in his career. Could this actually be happening? Or is it more likely he'll be going to Qatar or China or somewhere for some astonomical sum of money?
