From the articles I read about him
And the few times I see him play with costs rica, just think he is gonna be a top top player

Everything I've seen suggests that Afobe is further along and closer to the first team than Campbell is.

Premier League experience.
He looks like a drug smuggler.

Can't see it ever happening, but would be a decent option imo.

Former spurs AND United player? I'm sure he'd be very popular

Get rid of Vermaelen and buy Berbatov???
You lads are off the head.

I think adobe will come good but is def not further along, he haven't scored goals and championship level yet, where as Campbell is doing it at international level

When ya think bout last season it will be like swapping a like for like player
Berbatov will get us about six goals and won't be able to defend

I wasn't too impressed with Podolski's performances for Germany so far. He is supposed to be a good player and might improve as the tournament goes on but i was led to believe he's the bee's knees. Just haven't seen it yet.

100 caps for Germany at 27 - he must be doing something right !

I think until we see him under Wengers guidance for a few weeks/months, we can't say how good he will/can be.
He wasn't nurtured by Bayern when he was just 21 years old, so i think give him a little time in an Arsenal shirt and we will see the best he has to offer.

In fairness, if you looked at van Persies form at the Euros and used it to try and judge him, you would think he would be more comparable to Chamakh/Park than to Henry.

I would like to see him play well and get an idea of what he is capable of but I think we will have to wait to see him in an Arsenal jersey before we can even begin to make a call.

In a way, I would like to see Giroud (and others we are apparently interested in ) play well too, but then again if he does his price could go up, so maybe it's better that they don't perform to the best of their abilities until they have signed the dotted line.

No thanks, we have enough wingers. And he's not worth anywhere near what they want for him.

Podolski keeps his place with Germany thanks to his performances... with Germany. His goals seem to come mainly in qualifiers against Moldavia & co. Never decisive in a big game. And a lot of his play depends on his shots from distance, even then he didn't manage that for months with Germany, most of his shots went wide.
He's a good player when surrounded by the likes of Ozil, Sweinstiger, Klose...etc. At Koln, he's been average at best, but Wenger could make him like he was a few seasons ago. Looking forward to seeing him in the EPL
