He's rubbish, I'd rather give Sanogo or Akpom a chance.

Looks like Roger Johnson to Sheffield Wednesday could be happening, presumably on loan (although seeing as we just want him off the wage bill, it may be a free?)
Excellent for Birmingham with Scott Dann, pretty terrible for Wolves! Has apparently had a terrible attitude too recently, refusing to play with the reserves/U21s etc.
Interesting news conference on SSN just now with Ozil and Wenger, looks like we were after him 3 yrs ago before he moved to Real from Werder Bremen. Sadly he chose Real and 3 yrs later we got him albeit paying more than £30mill for him when originally he went for £12mill or so 3 yrs ago to Real.

Looking forward to seeing him play on Sunday.
This isn't some Arsenal knew something no one else did.
United were after him as well, he had just come off the back of a great WC so there were plenty of teams interested![]()
Not surprising his stock has risen so high though, he showed he could hack it at the biggest club in the world pretty much.
I dont recall saying that it was some sort of secret that Arsenal were in for him before he went to Real lol. All i was pointing out that i didnt realise that 3 yrs ago Wenger wanted him to come to us only for him to go to Real. But meh 3 yrs and £42mill later, hes finally arrived at Arsenal.
Lots of teams were after him, that's all I'm saying
He was going for a song in the last year of his contract.
Im just hoping he hacks it in the PL as even he said that its a more physical league compared to the La Liga.
It should be fine though. I'd be gobsmacked if he can't compete..
The league is getting less and less physical anyway..
