Frank all i want him to do is head the ball away and boot it into row z when its in our box and clear our lines and not do a clichy and try to play it out of defense when we are surrounded by the opposition and then lose the ball and they score.

I don't fancy seeing Hangeland paired with Vermaelan and a high line.

we'd get caught out, no bother.

ARSENAL have pulled out of the race for striker Marouane Chamakh.
Arsene Wenger decided the Moroccan international is not worth Bordeaux's Â£10million asking price.

The Gunners boss will not increase his Â£6m offer for Chamakh, 25, who only has one year of his contract to run.

ARSENAL whizkid striker Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, 19, is set to join Sheffield Wednesday on loan.

From today's Grauniad rumour mill,

The Mill does not wish to suggest that Cesc FÃ¡bregas and Theo Walcott wake up every morning with someone they don't remember meeting and immediately resume trying to quaff multi-coloured cocktails while vomiting off a balcony. No, all we mean when we say that Arsenal sometimes resembles an Ibiza holiday camp is that there are very few people there over the age of 30.

ArsÃ¨ne Wenger, of course, recently made the mistake of hinting he might seek to change that reality by allowing Patrick Vieira to return to the Emirates to act as some kind of inspirational dressing-room ornament. Wenger was never likely to follow through on that hint, of course, what with Vieira's displays over the last two years having been about as impressive as those of a chilly streaker, but it was enough to allow hacks to begin peddling all sorts of improbable spiel, viz today's claims that Arsenal are to enrich their options in the centre of defence by signing ... Sol Campbell.

That would be a retrograde step and no mistake. In truth, Wenger is much more keen on Borussia Dortmund's Neven Subotic, who, being 14 years younger than Campbell, is much more what Wenger is all about. Normally the fact that Everton are also eyeing up the Serbian would not worry an Arsenal manager, but the possibility that David Moyes could be prepared to present Dortmund with most of the Â£25m he'll get from Manchester City for Joleon Lescott is said to be annoying Wenger to such an extent that he is preparing another one of those outbursts in which he calls for the rules of football to be radically overhauled so as to conform better with whatever suits Arsenal at a given time.

When you are competing for the signiture of a striker from bordeaux with clubs of the ilk of sunderland and fulham then I guess it would pretty much rule it out anyway
