Guess that rules out that little pipe dream. Then again....when Jack and Sagna are back we'll need a long term injury to fill that treatment room
don't worry, we have van persie, rosicky and diaby who are always delighted to take that job mate. :lol:

the Verminator must be missing the treatment room now as well. None of them are allowed to get injured until 1st Feb though and then we can claim that we were 'unlucky with injuries' and 'very close' when it comes to the mid-May excuses.

Sign a fucking striker as soon as that window opens !

According to reports, Arsenal scouts were watching Anderlecht striker Matias Suarez yesterday. His record isn't great...
151 appearances, 38 goals.

Compare that to Podolskis 230 apps, 90 goals
Funny enough RVP also has 230 apps and 96 goals!

So put your money on us buying an unknown numpty from a poor European league for 7 or 8m!! :roll:

The rumours on Lukas Podolski are growing by the day....my boss has close contacts with 2 reporters - one on the Guardian the other on the Telegraph - he went on a Hooray Henry horse racing and clay pigeon shoot type thing with them last week-end and they both said there's a good chance that AW is seriously contemplating bringing a striker in in January, and if so it will be him.....

Just have to wait and see I guess.... :roll: :banghead:

Goetze? Podolski? Mertesacker?

Looks like Wenger is starting to embrace some of the German aspects of his Alsace heritage!

Wouldn't Podolski have Polish heritage though ?

Yeah rosicky was on the physio's table for so long there's now a permanent imprint of his useless frame on it :roll:
