McDowell its over dude...no more - Hallelujah

If we do sign M'Vila as well as Pods and Giroud our team will be much stronger & better than last season, so long as we get shot of the shyte: aka: bendy bollox, vela, lego head, squilacci, flappy and diabywank

[SammyDroppedHisShorts]

We need a keeper and another defender.....midfielders are fine and the strike force wow.....

[I Hate Hleb]

Still not get excited yet. Sure, Poldoski will be a good signing as long as he is in addition to keeping RVP but Giroud is not a proven or experienced striker and if Robin does leave and we're left with Poldoski, Giroud, Chamack and Park then we'll appear even weaker than last season. Also, like others have said, there are crucial positions we still need filled with addition quality before I even start thinking that perhaps Wenger has finally learnt from his past mistakes and is doing something about them.

It is so obvious that we're signing these 2 as a replacement for RVP and that will be it.

I like Ramsey and feel the lad deserves more time to prove himself after his shocking injury.

he doesn't need any more time to prove he can fail at unnecessary fancy flicks and half hearted passes.

if anything he was over confident last year - he became a luxury player. i thought he was on the bottle.

maybe a loan will bring him back to ground.maybe it won't

Lille say Giroud is a Gooner

Giroud played for Montpelier

It is so obvious that we're signing these 2 as a replacement for RVP and that will be it.

First it was "RVP is off because he wants to play with quality players and we won't sign them".

Now it's "RVP is off because we've signed quality players to replace him".

Make your fucking minds up! Which is it?

Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner is getting closer to deciding on his future amid 'overwhelming' and 'global' interest in his services, according to his representative.

Hope you are right ,if we get 8/10 million for him then we have got a touch
If we can get another 10/12 million for Vela ,Arshavin,Denilson,Chamakh then we might just be able to
spend on another player that we need like a DM and A left back not to mention a utility player !

My Fear is that Giroud and Podolski are just buys for the imminent departure of RVP and that we will spend no more but will just bank the cash from the sales of the others not to mention the Queensland Road development !

[defleppardisking]

Just imagine who would RVP be thinking if those two are his replacement

[OneBardGooner]

Unless Wenker gets rid of camel and park then it's a must that Podolski and Giroud are replacing RVP, and if he is going....if that does happen then wenker will have truly shit on his chips.

M'Villa interest ended apparently due to Wenger being unsure of the guys attitude within the past few months.

Dissapointing but can't say I'm overly shocked he wont be coming.

Wenger unsure of the guys attitude...he should be more unsure of the attitude of some of the players he has signed/picked over the last few years.

And of course it will be nothing to do with the 17m price tag ?
Ah well that is another one that he will be able to "brag" about being close to signing in years to come

[rigsby]

Well as its a rumour you can never be entirely sure. Its from Matt Spiro the journo.

[augie]

As far as I am concerned wenger can sign giroud and podolski all he likes but if he doesnt sign a proper defensive midfielder then this transfer window will be yet another disasterous one for Arsenal Football Club
