Richardson is a gooner allegedly. I've never rated him, but as an LB he may fit.
2 goals and three assists in 18 games...more than Arseshaving n Rosicky combined.
Neil Taylor has looked alright the few times I've seen him play this year - plenty of spiwit definitely.

Which papers?
Richardson story certainly has legs, I remember seeing it in the tabloids this week- a swap for the worlds greatest striker isnt a terrible deal but not a signing that inspires any confidence in the GIC
Taylor is a decent player at this level but I think we need a bit more than "decent" to save our season ie a top quality striker and defensive midfielder.

If it is correct, it wouldn't be the worst thing. We'd be unloading a self-important criminal with a fat contract and getting a versatile squad player. I'd be for it.

arsenal nearly sign henry for 2 months - he might not play though
Link mikey ? Darren Bent is the type of pacy striker we desperately need and he would not alter the 17 domestic home grown player rule status too and I would be well pissed off if the victims get him
Richardson would be an ok signing just because he is a natural wide player and we don't have anyone like that! Wenger loves to play central midfielders or strikers out wide

I wouldn't as I've genuinely never rated him. The last thing we need is yet another profligate striker!!

Agreed. We've all written Bendtner off ever being an Arsenal player again, so bring it on
That Jordan Rhodes at Huddersfield looks miles above the level he's playing.
Newcastle and the scum are interested apparently. 70 minutes in against Wycombe, he's scored 5 of Huddersfield's 6 goals and the movement is top notch.
Granted he's not going to be a world beater, but I bet he's a million times better than Chamakh for a reserve striker!

He could be ok or as good as Vela, I am sure Vela could score against Wycombe.

Vela haha. Vela couldn't score in a brothel.
This lad is class. 21 years old, 60 goals in 103 for Huddersfield since 2009, but 25 goals in 22 this season and 18 in his last 14 games.
It's a big step up to the Premier League, but as a striker if you can finish and you have good movement, then you can do that whatever level you play.
Arsenal are looking at Lyon defender Aly Cissokho as they seek a left-back on loan to help cope with a rash of injuries at full-back.

Yep, less than we paid for the Ox and Daleyinho......but I wonder whether the Self Harmer will move for a proven PL goalscorer. Err, let me think that one over for a second - much better to sign someone who needs a 'six month adaption' period
