    ????

    Walcott was a striker for Southampton, we bought him on the strength of his displays for Southampton.

    Wenger also thought Eboue would be a good right winger and Diaby a left midfielder.

    Rosicky was a centre mid so Wenger plays him as a left midfielder too. Bendtner is a centre forward so Wenger plays him as a right winger.

    Wenger has lost the plot !!!

    Parker is miles better than Song, he can attack and defend, he can shoot, pass and dribble and isn't slow or a clumsy oaf.

    Dann can't be worse than what we have, Djourou is mistake ridden and Koscielny is lightweight and gives away stupid free kicks all the time.

    Would prefer M'Villa to Parker.

    But Parker would be decent enough. Parker is very simular to Flamini who was a success here.

    Hazard and Zarate would both be quality additions but there's absolutely no chance Wenger will sign both.

    Would like to see us get another LB.

    Home:

    ---------------Sczezney----------------
    Sagna--Cahill----Vermaelen----Cissoko
    Walcott----Wilshere---M'Villa--Arshavin
    ------------Hazard
    ------------------VanPersie


    Away.

    ---------------Sczezney----------------
    Sagna--Cahill----Vermaelen----Cissoko
    ---------Song------M'Villa---------------
    ---------------Wilshere-----------------
    Gervinho---------RVP----------Hazard

    Even though he said he wants to sign players he probably won't. We might sign one player if we're lucky, but I wouldn't count on it.

    It's no secret he's looking, so any calls he makes to enquire about players he's sure to get raped over the price

    Koscielny is not lightweight. And he is an absolutely class defender. One of the best in the league imo. Yeah he gives away a few too many free-kicks but he is a brilliant player. Kept Messi in his pocket last season. He is strong and commited in the challenge and great at playing the ball out. Fantastic player and can't believe other Arsenal fans don't realise this.

    Djourou is also a good player. He has had a few shakey moments and for his size he isn't as strong as you would expect. But he puts in a very good shift at the back and developed a decent partnership with Kosc.

    Koscielny is head and shoulders above Dann so you would be buying a back-up CB to replace Squillaci.

    Now i don't mind another CB being added to the team but they need to be top quality to actually challenge for the first team. Not a player who will be thrown into the game because of injuries and look no better than squillaci.

    I do think we should add a CB, i think there is clearly a lack of cover for this position. But i don't want AW to panic buy and take someone on who isn't good enough for Arsenal. Especialy not at overinflated values.

    I've realised this post isn't the easiest to read through - seems very fractured - my apologies.

    My main point was that Koscielny is a beast and Dann is not nearly as good.

    If Arsenal sign Eden Hazard of Lille this transfer window, I will change my name to CanarySpuds, or something else Spud related. Never gonna happen.
