If he gets injured (which he will) then we can put things into perspective. Trust me once I began going through his injury history to my mate he became very quiet (I could see the doubt creeping in to his veins LOL - it affected his face LOL).
Im happy with the players we have brought in, however we do still have doubts over Song and Walcott. Now I think Song is gone and Theo will stay, but I stiull think Wenger needs to buy an additional striker becasue he came out and said that giroud and Podolski were purchased to play ALONG side RvP, not to replace him, if this is the case then Wenger felt we needed a certain number of strikers for the squad and that has now decreased by one. He will hopefully buy, but either way...OSW isnt the guy I thought he was and we're better off without that kind of cancer in the squad.
Wenger seems to me to be starting from scratch, but this time he has a support system in Bould and Banfield that actually reflects this. We also need to have players 100% commited. The second half against Cologne was telling for me. It was built up of either uncommited players, players coming off long injury and you could see the lack of drive from certain players barring Gervinho and Kos.
Fuck Van Persie, he's gone, i'm looking forward to Podolski and I have a sneaky feeling Giroud is gonna be a handful and do well in the prem. AOC will be better, as will Arteta. Cazorla will bring the creativity we need and Wenger will bring in Sahin.
It's not panic stations yet, we have to just play to our maximim, a strong DM and Striker or Winger and it's enough to challenge this season.
