lol yes agreed. Lets hope our mexican wizkid takes advantage IF given a chance.
If not i hope Wenger loans him out. He has proven his loyalty to arsenal by extending his stay until 2016. Next step is demonstrating it on the field.

I can’t wait for the team selection for tomorrow.Fact, Sunderland have given away the most fouls this season, 176, so expect a physical game.I have a feeling Merida,Senderos,Watt,Silvestre and Vela will be in the squad.It may be a game to early for Vela, and there are unconfirmed reports that Ramsey has a back problem.Theo is another who may well be held back for the SL game.

UP GUNNERS! Denilson is very talented & though he’s very young. His return to the squad will give us more option. We’
ll cruise to victory on saturday against sunderland.

My biggest initial worry is left back without Gibbs and Clichy. I am dreading the possibility that Wenger will use Silvestre there. I hope he will consider Eboue (though we might need him at right mid) or Traore there now that he is fit (though that position demands so much running I don’t see how Traore or Silvestre will be fit enough to play there with not many games under their belts).

I would like to see Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Eboue across the back with Song and Ramsey in front of them and then Rosicky and Nasri out wide with Cesc in the middle. Eduardo right now appears to be Wenger’s choice up top for RVP. That would leave us with Denilson, Vela, Arshavin if fit, Silvestre, Traore, Senderos and Merida to choose from as substitutes. When you think about the players missing (Gibbs, Clichy, RVP, Bendtner, Walcott, Diaby, Wilshere, Djourou, etc.) and the depth that we still can have that is really amazing. Luckily our injuries so far have come in the areas where we do have great depth.

I must agree with some of you out there. The god of soccer must be a gunner. with injuries, we seem to have a natural mode of rotating players and at the end we will have less complains from players about sitting on the bench and we get to have some variety in our field of play..honestly would love to see all the arsenal players on the score sheet this season with hopefully some trophies and the highest goal scorers/assists..even almunia should be allowed to take a penalty if we get one. Don’t we just love this club!!!!!!!!!
