Not a lot to say + Rosicky
Right now it really doesn’t feel like there is that much to say. If Tomas Rosicky is injured (the Sun say it is so in their print edition), it’s sad news for him but no reason for some of the absurd abuse I saw on one blog yesterday.
As we saw with Eduardo, injuries can rapidly follow injuries and that’s life. I wish him well and was very encouraged by his weekend performance.
It does strike me that either he or Nasri were probably being primed to play the ying to Song’s yang in the midfield trio, so it will be interesting to see what happens now.
Transfer wise it is a case of wait and see really. Quite rightly Arsene wants to get his business done before our very tricky start to the season but that doesn’t mean he will necessarily get his way and it is quite possible things will drag on.
Were it up to me I would prioritise a midfielder and unless anyone has any better ideas I would make that man Patrick Vieira. Then I would go for a defender as in both areas we look a bit light.
It goes without saying Arsene appears to regard a new forward as paramount.

Not only are most media outlets who are picking up the Rosicky story taking it from The Sun, but the Sun has taken this from a blog, who had one commenter report he head Ian Wright ‘break the story’ on TalkShite. I doubt there is any truth to it and until a credible media outlet breaks the story, there is no story.

To add to that, that blog is the same blog who reportedly claimed that they ‘understand’ that Vermaelen was set to wear no 31. I hope the news is just as bollocks as the site

yeah, this un-named blog *cough*GoonerTalk*cough* doesn’t have the world’s greatet track record. I like the blog, it just isn’t always factual.

sadly Ian Wright was spot on. he did indeed break the news on talksport. who then phoned the arsenal press office who confirmed tomas picked up a knock in training and was having a scan today on his hammy.
the 6 weeks is garbage though. that was just wrighty speculating.

The sun makes up shit all the time but they are probably right on the is one,FOR ONCE.

as much as i want to see a defender and midfielder come in, i agree with AW on the stricker issue. considering how injury prone the ones we have are, plus dudu is the only stricker who can play centrally in that 4 3 3 without running to the midfield and i hate to say it but rvp is a bit like rooney! 90 minutes strickers at a top club who will never score 20 in the league.
