Transfer targets in January

What is he now, 38?

Wouldn't have thought so.

I'm hoping arshavin can start producing something. He worked hard last night, and deserved a goal. Bit of confidence, and he could be useful over coming months The lad is still a class act.

Have a feeling Wenger is looking to fill numbers temporarily. Agree that Arshavin tried really hard, probably for the first time this season and i think he will be the first option in left wing. Having said that saw him tiring soon as usual, which means we would require another head there. Ryo looks set on a loan move, Yossi can play there though. Another reason for bringing back a legend is the buzz and positivity that it generates around the dressing room and with fans.

It's going to be like the Szczesny situation all over again on the wings. Everyone wants Oxlade to be given a run in the team, and now there's a chance with Gervais going to the ACoN, Wenger will go with Arshavin. Arshavin obviously has ability and even worked hard last night but I don't trust him to deliver when we need him to. And he hasn't delivered even when we don't need him to. That is not to say that I trust Oxlade to save us but he has a better chance than Arshavin because he's more dynamic and also has great ability. I don't think Arshavin can be 'fixed' now - he is a depressed, nihilist philosopher trapped in a meerkat/footballer's body. He sees little point in going the extra yard because it means nothing to him. Oxlade is young and so probably still naive. We must try him.

News is out the Robert Pires is training with us. That might be another deal. One left winger and one striker to replace the same for two months.

Pires won't be signing. No chance.

he does not want to move, next

Not entirely true. Doesn't want to leave till the summer because he doesn't want to risk his position in the German squad... I say sign him in the summer

What i meant was he does not want to move now, im sure we'd get him in the summer.

Agreed, did nothing at Villa and I think Henry is enough of the 'comeback buzz' the fans can handle. . .signing another legend could even see more raised eyebrows than smiles. . .another excuse for the bloody thirsty lynch mob to find a tree to string Wenger up by. . .
