Arsenal's match tonight was by all accounts a dire affair. The voyeur needs to line up someone to replace Cesc, fast. Just another note on Yaya Touré, probably the best thing about him is that he has equal attacking and defensive capabilities. He could slot in to replace Fabregas as Arsenal's creative outlet in the central midfield. Song is no Fabregas, quite obviously... in fact, I doubt whether he's even Arsenal standard, but that's a story for another day.

Another name I've been hearing alot of Gokhan Inler from Udinese. From what I've seen of him, he looks class. Miguel Veloso of Sporting CP is also another... so many good options for Wenger, I really hope for his team's sake that he splashes the cash on one a proven player other than Touré rather than poaching a 5 year old from Marseille's youth system or something. :p

not too impressed with inler; seems a tidy player, good enough for an average uefa cup team, but not good enough for a champion's league club IMO.

I reckon Moutinho's a better player than Veloso too, from the same club, a bit more attacking than Veloso.

Again i must restart all knowledge on football...

Buuutttttt. Benzema could be utilised as an attacking midfield, in my dishonest, uneducated and non-professional opinion...
But who needs midfielders when your scoring 3 a game :)

On a new note
Just off the BBC website, nearly broke me down when i read it...

Strikers need midfielders feeding them so they can have the chance to score. ;)

Benzema declared his allegiance to Real Madrid anyway, and he's definitely out of Arsenal's price range, or should I say, what Wenger is willing to pay.

Not if you play for Bolton, where they skip the midfielders and just hit the strikers... :)

LoL @ Gerrard. :D
Yeah, saw it on Sports Tonight, lol. Was so annoying though cause the chick presenter was calling him "Gur-rard" instead of "Geh-rard".... I hate it when sports presenters have no idea who/what they're commenting on.

Poor Gerrard. Must hate being a typical scouser.

Anyway, it's funny because he was arrested two days after appearing in a campaign against youth armed violence in the UK. Must be fine with unarmed combat though.
