Hopefully we do play them and beat them and Reyes sees we are the better team and comes back to where he belongs. Back to our left wing where he was brilliant last season and we can send Baps back.

:lol:

Win or lose Reyes will stay in spain.

I know :(

I can still dream though

He wasn't bad, but he was hardly brilliant..

give Baptista a chance, he could be a great player for us

Would Reyes be allowed to play in that fixture though? Is he allowed to play against his parent club? :unsure:

Actually that's a good point.

Yeah, as he's technically still on loan?

Good to see fickle fans writing baps off after no more than a few games!

Jeeeez!

:banghead:

Untill he's had a decent run of games I don't thing anyone can really pass judgement.

Loan players are allowed to play against their parent club in the CL. Does no one remember Morientes knocking Real single-handedly out of the CL while on loan at Monaco? :lol:

Hope we do get Real and knock the bastards out.

i wish we keep baptista and keep reyes hahaha will never happen reyes will never come back to us but i can still hope...

:haha:

Shouldn't that be 'a few minutes'? :)

Ridiculous isn't it :doh1:

From what I've seen so far from Baptista he's hungry and just wants games, be it at Arsenal or elsewhere he just wants to get on the field... But with respect to Baptista he needs to understand the dynamic at Arsenal, which seems to be that we're an experimental team and at the moment the emphasis is on the mental part...

I'm also a big Reyes fan, considering he was playing out of position for 80-90% of his Arsenal career his assist record is untouched and we're desperately missing that element this season...

Baptista will get his chance but if Reyes comes back I'd welcome him with open arms :scarf:

Tell that to AW!

Reyes wants Arsenal?


i don't want him.

When I first read that title I thought Reyes wanted to come back.

Then I clicked on the link - Oh, he just wants to play against us :coffee:

Good thing youre not Arsenal then ;)

hopefully the famous (and experienced) five will be back by then and we can improve on an aggregate 1-0 win!

and he can have us too!

I too would like to see us play Real and as Cripps said remind reyes what he is missing but sorry Cripps mate, can't go along with wanting Reyes back as an Arsenal player! well the player yes! but not the pouting little cry baby who tried at every opportunity to worm his way out of the club! I don't miss having to hear the daily crap come out of the Spanish media and Real about how much Reyes is homesick etc and how much better he would be playing for Real!

and for fu*k sake everyone! give Baps a chance!, I know i wish that AW would!, the guy will produce, but he is adapting to a new league/country/language etc, its too early to think that Real got the better end of the deal, when all Reyes had to do was go back and play in his homeland! but I suppose that is too much to ask of some GWs!

who knows maybe we will send baps back and demand a boatload of cash for reyes

Reyes :bow:

flaming eck, gw timeteam or what? :unsure:

Nothing but a glorified failed experiment.

was pretty much unreal in his first months..where did it all go wrong?

A come and get me plea if ever I heard one.

Fingers crossed, hey Zimm? ;)

Homesick gypsy :thumbdown:

Not really a failure imo

If he had stayed, he'd be awesome at the moment but homesickness happens

Yeah cos he's done really well since he left hasn't he, Benfica didn't even want him after going on loan there and now he's back at Athletico who barely play him as they don't want him.

He's not homesick now, he's just not as good as some thought.

Couldnt care less how hes done after hes left us although he did win Real the title.

For us, he was pretty good.

He didn't win Real the title as such, he scored a some goals in one match at the end, he was hardly the guy that performed brilliantly all season like Ronaldo did for Man U.

The point is you said he would have been awesome for us had he stayed, well if you look at how he's done since he left I'd say he's not done very well. It's unlikely he'd have done any better for us.

yeah for a few matches. then he was shit, and finally behaved like an arse.

most of it was him but I think Wenger wasnt totally blameless. had he kept him on the wing I think he wouldve had a better time and certainly taken over from pires/ljungberg/whoever ended up filling in there before he was put out to pasture.

I think in wengers head he could only reconcile his pricetag with the idea that he would become a 30 goal a season CF. If he had accepted that he'd in fact overpaid (by his standards) for a half decent winger reyes would still be here and winning plaudits imho.

To be fair he wasnt that bad for us. He was pretty good to start with and then the season following invincible season, he was like the best player in the world for the first 7 games. Then he ran into Chopper Neville and has been homesick since.
He's been poor after he left. A case of a player who could have been great losing it in his head

I think he's a good player. He could certainly come in and do a job for us if we re-sign him for a cut-price fee. Don't think it'll happen though.

I thought Reyes was a good player for us. It didn't work out because when he moved to this country, he realised he made a mistake. He could not adjust to life in this country and was homesick.

I cannot blame him for that.

He got beat up by the Mancs and was never the same again.

Reyes for who he was and not what he became. :rose:

What MO said.

He was a technically gifted player but couldn't seem to stand getting kicked. We're not going to get protection from referees so it's upto the players to deal with it. Watch the number of times Arshavin got kicked and fouled yesterday but he just got on with it. Reyes isn't strong enough to do that. I don't blame him for being homesick but he did mess us around a lot towards the end of his career which would've put us in a bad position in negotiations.

Reyes :bow:

so much for him being thick :good:
