From a who will be available then I think he will be, having fallen out with Van Gaal at Bayern.

From a money point, he is on a huge wage at Bayern, certainly out of out structure.

From a playing point - He looked extremely effective for one season at Bayern, but he is a question mark. And we do already have a few of those

:D

I'd like to think Wenger would sign me in January but, at age 18, I think I am far too old.

Just as long as we sign someone who isn't a typical Wenger signing... :? :oops:

There is massive speculation of gatusso leaving AC. I think we could with him for a bit of experience and competiton for song so he doesnt become complacent like so many of our players tend to do after showing some good form.

The same thought crossed my mind earlier in the week when he suggested he was ready to leave milan due to lack of playing time. He would def bring the high energy bulldog type of midfielder that so many of you feel we lack since the departure of flamoney but for me it still wouldnt address the serious shortage of height and physical strength in that area.

Hey you dont need to convince me mate....try calling arsene at highbury house :wink: :lol:
Seriously though I do honestly think that he would be more tenacious in the tackle than song, more energetic than song and seeing as both would be equally shit at winning headers I believe that he would be an upgrade on song 8)

Tried that augie...I got the feeling that I was just being kept on the phone long enough for them to trace the call... :shock: :roll: :lol:

But, to your point I agree. As well as the height and strength issue, we are missing some fucking agression, attitude, character, whatever you want to call it. Somebody to get in the face of the opposition and ref, and get some of our players wound up.

Is that the big lump that played alongside our former diarra in midfield for france ?? Jesus if it is I have to say that he is absolute shit and wouldnt or at least shouldnt get his place playing in The Arsenal Ladies team :roll:
I have to say that I love the carlton cole rumours cos history has shown me that wenger never signs the players we are linked with and I def dont want this guy. Seriously lads carlton cole ? :?
