Just look at the team, Senderos, Clichy, Flamini, Ljungberg, Walcott & to some extent Adebayor, none of those players I have just mentioned have played hardly any football for some time. Flamini & Adebayor because wenger doesnt ever tend to choose them from the start & 10 minutes here & there does nothing for you.

Saw a few bad signs against Newcastle, where he lost the ball and then stood up. We need a big aggressive player and unfortunately he does not look to have that mentality.

If he does not show a better work ethic, then back to Madrid I'm afraid. <BR/>I hope Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19711060.post-1164655237174355752006-11-27T19:20:00.000+00:002006-11-27T19:20:00.000+00:00Frankly speaking, we can't afford to wait or be pa...Frankly speaking, we can't afford to wait or be patient for Baptista.
