Just read the NOTW some people want Wenger to sign Parker but he's not having it :) (and yes I'm aware it the NOTW)

You can't seriously judge him for his time at Chelsea. He joined at a time when they were signing any tom, dick or harry. He never had a chance there really with Lampard and Makelele in the form of their lives. He was just another one they signed at the time because they could, not because they actually needed him.
I wouldn't mind Parker here because I think he is better than all of our CM's apart from Cesc. I'd also like him here because it would represent a change in transfer policy from Wenger, which can only be a good thing because it would show he's willing to try something different instead of going for archetypal Wenger signing.
Having said it's not a sure fire fix to our problems and he is actually very injury prone, so it would be a gamble to sign him. A gamble worth taking IMO because I've seen just about enough of the Diaby's, Denilon's etc of this world. I don't think I would leave a match feeling short changed by Parker.
Each to their own anyway.
We critise denilson for hospital passes, jogging back, getting mussled of the ball and being shit bringing the ball up from midfield. Jack has problems with scoring, but has showed in a season far more than denilson has ever showed in his arsenal career.
Has little to do with nationality
Not really.
Many times during the season, ive been frustrated with Wilsheres lack of end product be it assisting or shooting. He just usually passes it along.
I can understand Denilson doing it cos hes a bit shit and he passes on the responsibility to someone else cos we dont want shit players on the ball anyway but Wilsheres good enough on the ball to do something with it.
Hes young though and hes had a good solid start to his career but improvements need to be made next season
The fee going around is £10m does anyone think that Wenger will sign a 29 year old (and as was said injury prone) player?
