Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[GP]

I'd absolutely offer him a new deal, and Sagna and Arteta (when it comes to it) too - all 3 are experienced assets that are worth keeping at the club. But, all the same, it still doesn't change the fact that we'll need to start thinking about life beyond them at some point, and probably sooner rather than later. If the opportunity comes along to bring in a long-term, world-class successor (or even a world-class option in another area that allows us to shuffle the pack) then I think we need to be considering it...

Absolutely. No question, sign him up.

I like Rosicky and think he's a very good player, even though he's getting older, but personally I wouldn't give him a new contract as he's too injury prone and can't really be relied on for a whole season. Pretty much every season he's out injured for an extended period and our squad just can't cope with it, for this reason i'd replace him with someone younger and less injury prone.

Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and move on.

I can't agree with that at all. He's perfect for the squad and we really need to stop chopping away at our experienced players. He's a squad player and a quality squad player at that. Would prefer to see him on the bench or used in odd games to give key midfield players a rest. We'll be lucky to find a player that can play at his level. He does well to fill in when we have injuries and he's okay with being rotated. Where else are we going to get that? We need to keep him around.

I'm not debating his quality as he is very good, but his fitness record is appauling, he can barely be considered a squad player with the amount of time he's spent on the treatment table, where was he last Sunday when we needed him, you guessed it.....out!

Sometimes you have to use your head, our injury record for as long as I can remember has been terrible, we always seems to have 4-5 players out and that's then used as an excuse as to why it's hard for us to compete, well this is easily sorted, start by getting rid of the injury prone players, it's no guarantee but it will certainly improve our chances of having a largely fit squad.

Come on guys we all like discussing transfers but Wenger will ONLY be signing an out and out striker if anyone in Jan. Reus, no way, with Ox Theo Podolski all due back we are overloaded in attacking midfield. I do not want that cunt Suarez even tho that will never happen, thank god, but we need an out n out goalscorer. Who? Ill leave that decision in the capable hands of mr Wenger.

So you want an out and out goalscorer but you don't want Suarez?

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Exactly! Its like saying Diaby hasnt used up his last 6 years, so when he comes back, we offer him a 12 year deal since he is only 21 years old footballistically!

You don't want to give Rosicky a new contract because he's injury prone but then you name Pato?

Reus is out an out goalscorer.

No, he's a midget fancy attacking midfielder whom Arsenal have plenty of already.

Spot on.

Hard to disagree.

Exactly right.
