ok

Steadman wrote:He said he's back in training late December I think. Probably be playing by late Jan/early Feb as long as nothing goes wrong.

Anyway back to it

When he does return who's place do you think he will take

Hopefully Arteta's.

I can see Arsene rotating Wilshere and Ramsey for the first few games to ease Wilshere back in though. Wilshere should obviously be guaranteed a starting spot in our midfield if he plays like he did last season.

I could name 15 midfielders who are better than him.

I could name 30, just in the Premier League

And not a single liverpool midfielder was named that day...

"Just heard that newly appointed Belgium NT captain, Kompany suffers an injury and will be doubtful for match against Romania. That’s right Georges Leekens, go grovel to Vermaelen"

Am I the only one who thinks its hilarious how many players from big squads get injuries right before international break. These countries respective FA's must get so pissed off , unless they get paid off

The difference is that Almunia was playing like ass for the most part and Song isn't playing like ass. He isn't playing lights out, but he isn't playing bad to the point that Wenger should even think about replacing him with Francois.

Don't rate him as high as others do on here but he would be a fantastic signing.

He would be a stellar signing, but his price is the only hurdle I think. I wouldn't be mad if he signed him because he is top class and I think he would push Song to be even better. I also think he is good enough to start over Song, but only after he acclimates himself to the PL.

Ramsey
Van Persie
Koscielny

Interesting list. I would have thought you would have had Robin first.

Filippo Inzaghi wrote:Arise's list:
Yao Kouassi
Per
Robin

Nah. My list would be Robin, Woj, Laurent, Gervinho, and Song.

Laurent

grenade187 wrote:Laurent

That was a typo.

He meant Leyton Orient, they're doing ok for their standards.

grenade187 wrote:Laurent

What?

Laurent is shit

True, but he has played like good shit this season. Still doesn't change the fact that I would like us to sign someone else and keep him as a back up, but as long as he plays like this he might as well keep the good run going.

In the end he WILL start making mistakes and look like the Laurent I am used to seeing.

Whats this I hear about Van the Man being shipped back to London because of potential injury

grenade187 wrote:Whats this I hear about Van the Man being shipped back to London because of potential injury

nothing, he's playing vs Switzerland as we speak

Oh its because his fitness during training showed he has a high risk of getting injured if he plays 2 friendlies so he'll only play one. That's what some dude of twitter said anyway.

That's fine then, let's hope Djourou won't injure him tonight

Laurent

You know that banner they had at the West Brom game, the one about Bat-Man and Robin.

Made me giggle.

Yeah, who needs Batman?

Djourou just had an epic fail moment which allowed RVP to g 1v1 with the keeper

I saw it
That's why he's only 4th choice CB now, way too error prone.

Grenade, you are correct. Van Persie is due back to London on Monday.

I was being sarcastic
Statistically he's been one of the best centrebacks in the league this season. He just needs to beef up a little.
Anyone watching the French game? How has our man Laurent been doing?

Fuck statistics grenade.

Kos has been superb and thats the bottom line.

Slightly old but has anyone heard this?

Very old now but it is brilliant.

No injuries so far.. good weekend.

You've jinxed it.

Wenger, I know Arshavin is at the end of his career and Farfan is better than him but I love our little Russian.
