I'd be happy to keep Walcott, Gervinho (still think he'll come good) and Benayoun.

Djourou can go though.

Best post ever.

Hopefully Gervinho does a Koscielny and comes real good

I'd want to keep as many as possible, we have the depth of a paddling pool at some stages of the season.

@Scott - He does little to nothing and is ineffective when teams park the bus, he wants 100k also so he can go. Gervinho has horrible tekkers, do not want
@Marvin - Forgot Rosicky, yes he can stay and yes I'm very serious
@Laurencio - Not if we get Vertoghen, who has been whoring himself out to us

Naaah. Gervinho is so shit.

Isn't Theo Walcott a Liverpool fan?

Mal don't hate on Forehead

Gervinho for Eboue. Straight swap.

He is.

Woah, explosion of posts.

I think Podolski is very similar to Theo Walcott as a player, just twice as good. Not saying Theo's bad, he's a good player and I want to keep him, Podolski is just better.

Very direct as a winger, plays one-twos and moves into the channel of his strong foot, shoots across the keeper. Podolski is more suited as a striker and Walcott is more suited on the wing though.

I agree, that's why I prefer a better dribbler

How much would you sell Walcott for dya reckon?

Wouldn't mind him and Gervinho at Liverpool.


Not bad.

Scott you really wouldn't want forehead, why do you anyway? He couldn't even find his way out of a paper bag let alone finish properly

I still think he'll come good. I like him.

Better than what we've got anyway.

We have our fair share of technically astute players, Chamberlain, Wilshere, Rosicky, van Persie, Gervinho even Song. We need a bit of direction with out attack or else we'll just pass it infront of teams all the time. That is why Walcott has been so good this year, he's been making those direct runs, that's why he gets involved in all of the action in terms of goals, we need someone to pick out.

Podolski will do what Walcott does but he'll do it better, that is why I am looking forward to seeing him play because if we deploy him on the left and Chamberlain/Gervinho on the right, it will give us a good balance to the side and give us the option to rotate, play Walcott and move Podolski upfront, van Persie can move into the hole, we can rest van Persie too.

But we shouldn't play Podolski on the left and Walcott on the right, would make us too direct but that would be an option maybe on away days

I think Gervinho will come really good if he gain some confidence in himself, he's quick, he's good at dribbling, he can play some very nice one-twos, he just can't finish for shit. Final ball sometimes is lacking too.

Hopefully he gains confidence and next year will be his year.

I still love Gervinho. He'll come around. Love his ability and direct play. We need that kind of player going forward..not always triangle passing.

So you're basically saying he's Eboue playing on the wing?

You think Wenger might go back to 4411 with Robin in the hole?

Fabianski upfront

We'd get destroyed against good teams, also Podolski doesn't play with his back to the goal

Also why first names?

They're my best mates

You think Miyaichi deserves a shot in the first team?

I wanna see how involved Le Coq will be next season.

I never said that...

Poldi was a great add, but we need a LB and a CB - maybe Baines and Vertonghen. A new winger could be useful, promote Ryo to first team or sign Hoilett.

Selling Arshavin, Vela and Bendtner are enough to raise funds to snap Baines and Hoilett.

Another midfielder is needed.

Yes most definitely, competition between young players and rotation will bring the best out of them but Wenger probably won't see it that way

It was either you or Fonseca.

Either way we get to find out.

Well, I've wanted him and backed him to play at left forward over forehead.

Wasn't me, I've never watched the Bundesliga for a reason

Would you be happy with just Podolski replacing Chamakh and Campbell replacing Park for our striker options? This includes keeping RVP by the way.
