His goal record is unimpressive but from the Youtube clips, he looks decent. Not a starter, but he'd be better than Chamakh. He actually shoots.

This always happens. Then we appeal and they usually get through.Quote:

We now basically have the injury prone RVP, Chamakh, Walcott and this guy (if Bendtner is indeed off).
If we got rid of Chamakh and replaced him I'd be happy enough, but as one of our main forwards it's a disappointing signing when taking into consideration our other players.
With Cahill being rather unimpressive, jagielka and samba giving away penalties, you can't really blame AW for being mostly on the fence in regards to the chosen media saviours of Arsenals back line.

'Closing gap off pitch will help us compete'
Arsène Wenger says that Arsenal's improving performance off the pitch will make them even more competitive on it.
The Club is strengthening its commercial position all the time and recently returned from its first tour of the Far East where the first-team squad played friendly matches in Malaysia and China.
Wenger understands the need to travel globally to help us build revenues for future investment.
"On the commercial side we may be behind clubs like Man United, and we are trying to reduce the gap," said Wenger.
"We work very hard on it, and that is one of the reasons we have gone to Asia. We have a big name abroad, but to transform that into resources is a bit more complicated. That’s what we try to do.
"It’s the only chance we have [to compete]. In England we cannot go any higher with our income, that is why we have to go international."
Arsenal hope to complete Scott Dann transfer 'within next 24 hours.-Report
that's what i'm saying. i liked the fact that in the youtube clips he seemed to be doing a lot of work and linking up around the box. plus if he stays in the box like a striker should he should get a lot more chances (we always seem to cross the ball from the wings to no one)Quote:

Depressing stuff, even when we have the money we show no desire to properly strengthen the team. I've given up trying to understand why. Watching Chelsea's new players, Liverpool's new players, Utd's new players, it's a reminder what a truly awful transfer window this has been for us. Gervinho might pay off, Campbell and Chamberlain might do something in a few years but these players pale into insignificance compared to the signings of our rivals and the quality of players we have lost. I wonder what will happen to all the money that isn't being spent on players? Where does it go, how is it used? Is it used inside the club? Handed to banksters? Spirited away?Quote:

Cahill's had his head turned, he's thinking about his move to us, thats why he was off today.Quote:
