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.
