Arsenal are reported to have made a joint bid of two million pounds for Stoke City midfielder Rory Delap and striker Mamady Sidibe. Wenger intends to adopt a more direct route to goal next season and hopes that the addition of Delap and his long throw, coupled with Sidibe's knock-downs will provide the likes of Samir Nasri with a hatful of goals. Stoke City are understood to be very interested in the bid. Wenger has managed to hide his respect for the duo extremely well over the past three seasons, but has now firmly thrown his cards onto the table with this dramatic declaration to embrace the long ball game next season."
