Wenger smile alert:

"Just met Arsene Wenger, David Dein and Gerard Houllier at Kharkiv airport. Said to Arsene that Giroud was good signing, he gave a wry smile."

"Here's me and Arsene from 10mins ago. Again, he smiled when i mentioned Giroud's name"

“Thierry is a part of our football club, he came to train with the team and nobody expect he would end up playing for the team.

“We had already erected a statue for him, and all around the stadium we have records for all of his goals, and then he created some problems for us by scoring more goals. We had to go all around the stadium, and the statue, to change the number of goals he’s scored. If he comes back again to play we may have to do the whole process again!

[Wilson37]

Btw.. Why some fans want Djurou out if he is happy to sit quietly and wait for his chances.. He is only our fourth choice.. And dont forget the half season when he was as good as Vermelen..
10 million for Diaby ? I would have sold him without thinking twice.. And add 10 more million.. You can buy a wc midfielder...

[DuringTheWar]

doesnt he get paid 60 grand a week? 60 grand a week for a fourth choice centre back?

[urbaNRoots]

And which decent CB would accept being 4th CB with a lower wage?

[DuringTheWar]

I wouldnt pay anyone, decent or not, 60 000 pounds a week to be 4th choice unless thats the going rate, which it isnt (im taking an educated guess). It seems a bit, well, stupid.....

wage structure needs sorting out imo, although i understand why everyone gets paid a similar amount no matter the difference in talent, in an ideal world it would work, in reality though it just doesnt

[Raptorgunner]

Are Giroud and M'Vila the Players That Can Bring Trophies Back to Arsenal?

I think if RVP stays with Jack back and these 2 guys we will be favorite to win a major trophy.

What you guys think?

[Raptorgunner]

But it appears that the Gunners are ready to make the first move for the £13million-rated attacking midfielder.

German newspaper Bild reports that Arsene Wenger has been keeping tabs on Dzagoev 21-year-old in Poland and Ukraine.

Dzagoev?

[Sri]

Who is Raptor talking about?

[Fenris]

Yup, it's Dzagoev.

[SamuelJayC]

Arsenal are keen on signing Russia international Alan Dzagoev, 21.

The £13m-rated CSKA Moscow midfielder is out of contract in December.

[Raptorgunner]

LOL sorry guys, I dont know how I missed the name there.

Yes its Dzagoev.

mvilla
dzegev
giroud

If we are signing M'Vila, we have Coquelin as well who can cover RB with Jenks till Sagna returns. If Sagna doesn't, then we might end up seeing Djourou there at some point and let the gods have mercy then.

[REWB]

ahh yeah your right i forgot about coq

[REWB]

GK: szny/?????????(fabianski wants to leave)
CB: verm/kosi/djourou/mertesacker/
RB: sagna/coquelin/jenkingson
LB: gibbs/santos/verm
DM: arteta/mvila
CM: wilshere/song/coquelin
AM: wilshere/rosicky/dzegeov
RW: Walcott/oxlade/campbell
LW: ryo/podolski/gervinho
CF: RVP/giroud/Campbell/podolski

Ahhh amazing depth in every position, it would be very good if we buy those 3 players. Only position I would be worried about is the GK. What happens if szny get injuried? I think we need an old back up keeper from somewhere.

[TalkingReckless]

GK: szny/Martinez
CB: verm/kosi/djourou/mertesacker/
RB: sagna/coquelin/jenkinson/Kos (if needed)
LB: gibbs/santos/verm
DM: mvila/coquelin/song
CM: wilshere/song/arteta
AM: wilshere/rosicky
RW: Walcott/oxlade
LW: Podolski/gervinho
CF: RVP/giroud/Park?

I think Ryo and Campbell will go on loan again

and don't think dzegeov is coming

podolski can play CF aswell; arteta plays DM for us; song is simply NOT a DM anymore. hopefully dzegeov comes, not too sure about wilshere after injury, and rosicky is good but not what we need if we are going for a title challenge.
