As I said I think he is good to have in the squad if you want to rotate and rest some of the more regular starters. Why do you think we only finished 4th its because we have too many players like Podolski that aren't top class but just good decent players who will get the job done against lesser teams but will always fall short against the best on a consistent basis.

Marty McFly wrote: » Were all frustrated as Arsenal fans, we all want the club challenging fact. But the fact you put Podolski in the same sentence as Gervinho and Santos either shows a lack of knowledge or being blinded by furstration I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's frustration because Podolski is a fantastic player when you have neutrals coming in and praising your players such as Gav you should take note because they have no bias at all. Also will people stop banging the Higuain drum for now at least :rolleyes:, we were in for him we decided to go for Suarez instead who is the better player, if we get him im sure everyone in here who has been banging the Higuain drum will suddenly go very very quiet.

I am also sick of us buying 2nd rate players like Podolski, Gervinho, Santos etc when we now have the financial power to get the best out there. Look at Higuain one of the best strikers in world football and we wouldnt pay the extra few million for him. A player who could of took us to the next level.

Marty McFly wrote: » Well have to agree to disagree on this one. Look at the stat Gav posted on his German international career, you don't get them caps or goals playing for the German national team by being an average player. He is one of our better players. Like I said I think some people have been blinded by there own negativitiy. We have problems in the squad but wide areas would be one of the lowest down the list. United would to have our wide options.

He is coming to the age were most players hit there peak, I really think some people's constant negativity is starting to blind them to the fact we already have some top quality players at the club who just need a few more sprinklings of players to be challengers. I'd rather Podolski and Walcott than say United's wide option's which are woeful.

So he has to sign someone. Doesnt he? As an aside, I reckon Modric could be an interesting target. Him and Suarez = interesting.
