We have to suppress Gervinho's abilities. If he ever learnt to head the ball I shudder to think what would happen.
Villa rumours still doing the rounds http://metro.co.uk/2013/01/27/arsen...rsene-wenger-admits-striker-shortage-3368344/
.....and throw in a Domino's pizza. But seriously, funny how times change. This guy was dynamite when he first joined us, and it's not that it was all a fluke. The guy is class. But what on earth has happened to him. This is a perfect example of wasting your talent. He has more skills than most Premiership players, yet he can't get a game for Arsenal. It's not like he hasn't had enough chances or we have amazing players keeping him out!
His confidence seems to have bottomed out. It seems to happen to a large number of talented players for a multitude of reasons. In Arshavin's case I think his early (and maybe continuing?) homesickness can't have helped.
Agreed, it seems to be a confidence thing. It's a massive shame, not only for Arsenal, but for the Premiership. He is such a joy to watch in full flow. Sad.
On a side note, Spurs managed to get a great player for peanuts. Lewis Holtby for £1.5m, is silly money. He will be someone to look out for....
Makes a change. Our signings are usually young enough to still be shopping at Toys r Us or mothercare. So it's Diame by close of business tomorrow then.
Villa rumours are stronger than ever. Goal.com are reporting that our contract negotiator Dicky Law is in Spain to negotiate a permanent transfer after the Catalan giants softened their stance on selling the striker. If we signed David Villa and Diame I would be a very happy man indeed.
