On Kalou have to agree with Zim, he is not what we need.
On The Lyon guy could be a good sigining but won't happen till jan.
As for Gotze, were we ever really going to get him anyway.
Sturridge worth a punt anyone ?
Porto can keep hulk
News is out the Robert Pires is training with us. That might be another deal. One left winger and one striker to replace the same for two months.
What is he now, 38?Quote:

With Gervais gone, Fat Fuck is essentially first choice now, if ever he has a chance to regain some form it's now. Last chance saloon for him IMO, if he doesn't start to show why he's our record signing then we should flog him in the summer once and for all.
kalou would be a good fit for right now. £3 mill and guaranteed goals, more than we are getting from theo and gerv right now.Quote:

Have a feeling Wenger is looking to fill numbers temporarily. Agree that Arshavin tried really hard, probably for the first time this season and i think he will be the first option in left wing. Having said that saw him tiring soon as usual, which means we would require another head there. Ryo looks set on a loan move, Yossi can play there though. Another reason for bringing back a legend is the buzz and positivity that it generates around the dressing room and with fans.Quote:

Arshavin obviously has ability and even worked hard last night but I don't trust him to deliver when we need him to. And he hasn't delivered even when we don't need him to. That is not to say that I trust Oxlade to save us but he has a better chance than Arshavin because he's more dynamic and also has great ability. I don't think Arshavin can be 'fixed' now - he is a depressed, nihilist philosopher trapped in a meerkat/footballer's body. He sees little point in going the extra yard because it means nothing to him. Oxlade is young and so probably still naive. We must try him.
Pires won't be signing. No chance.Quote:

pires is just getting in shape with us. that's all.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3275/...comment-on-ac-Quote:
The agent of Koln striker Lukas Podolski has insisted that his client is comfortable with his current situation, but refused to rule out the possibility of a move to AC Milan.
Representative Kon Schramm recently declared his client would not leave his hometown club in January. However, the player has not yet committed his long-term future to Koln, having declined to discuss a potential contract extension before the summer.
"Milan? We don’t comment on these rumours," Scramm exclusively told Goal.com. "There are a bunch of rumours on him, every day there are calls from Italy, from England and even from Russia.
"The real truth is that Lukas has a contract with Koln and he is comfortable there. At the moment this is how things are."
Podolski has scored 14 goals in 16 Bundesliga appearances this season, prompting interest from Milan and Arsenal, among others. The 26-year-old has a contract that will expire in 2013 and Koln have pledged to sell him before summer's end should he opt not to extend his stay.
Saw reports that Borussia Monchengladbach and Galatasary are after Shaqiri
Wtf?
He can do better than both those.
We could do with him
No chance of getting him. That's unless someone at the clubs mans up and spends 20m on a player for the first time ever.
Podolski or Shaqiri?Quote:

Can see Shaqiri doing the same. Just hope he thinks we are Pub Teamish enough for him

I agrre with that, although I disagree with paying crazy money, I do think the club needs to release itself from the self imposed shackles that sees us take little or no risk when adding to the squad and by risk I mean finacial=quality risk rather than the risk some think we made with the guys we brought in last summer.Quote:

As MO says the club needs to man up. . .whether we do or not remains to be seen
Pretty much.Quote:

Yep totally agree. What irks me more than anything is that even with a fully fit squad we still need quality adding here & there yet our manager doesn't seem in any rush to add quality to the squad.Quote:

To rub the salt in the wounds, the rivals who we look down on are challenging for the title whilst we're just chugging along outside the top 4.
Someone please wake me up when the season is over. :faint:
IMO the only players who can improve us now are the ones that will probably cost a premium. We have a fairly good base to build from, we now just need an extra boost of quality here and there. It's about time the club started to reap the so called rewards the stadium brings financially and not be afraid to pay big bucks.
Oh I agree MO, but I honestly believe we're getting close to the stage now where we need to pay a premium for a couple of star players to keep up with our rivals.Quote:

No need - Bendtner will be back.Quote:
