Wenger Slaughterhouse

[Cripps_orig]

LUKAS PODOLSKI and Olivier Giroud will not be fit enough to start the new Premier League season for Arsenal.

The strike duo arrived for pre-season late after Euro 2012 so were not taken on the Gunners’ tour of Asia. And boss Arsene Wenger admitted: “I will have to ease them in.”

Germany’s Podolski, 27, cost £11m from Cologne and Frenchman Giroud, 25, joined from Montpellier for £12.8m.

Why didnt he take them then? Plenty of players who played in Euro 2012 have gone on tour with their clubs but once again, Wenger doesnt stand up to his players and tell them to go and once again Arsenal suffer for it

And Giroud hardly played in the summer

and i guarentee that if they got injured in the first month of t he season, you would slam wenger for taking them on a tour

[Cripps_orig]

Well no i wouldnt

Thanks for making your usual pointless post though

Seriously what is the point of you posting?

Why do they need to be given more time? Particuarly Giroud. Is this Wenger and his scientific rabble again, does his stat software say they're not at peak fitness or whatever?

Stop wrapping these pampered twats in cotton wool and let them do what they're paid a fortune to do.

What is more worrying is that if we're trying to shift Chamakh & Nicky B which is obviously good news, look set to lose RVP and have Giroud & Podolski unavailable who on earth is going to start the season up top?

You can't really plan for having both Giroud an Podolski out, but Wenger has said Arshavin might have a future here. It's not a lack of offers on Arshavin's part. Zenit want him back, I think. So if he stays he might have a role upfront for us - and I reckon he'd get the ball in the net. Not an awful 3rd choice goalscorer. Failing that the Theo experiment is still available.

Oh great, we're going to have the "tubby ruski" up top puffing out of breath every 5 mins.

And don't forget Diaby can play there too. He will be like a signing.
