Its also come to light that he didn't actually cost £3.5m, he will cost us £6.5m as we have to pay for his postponement. Finally, according to said blog, the deal has only officially been sealed.
No idea what is going on but it might explain why AW has been reluctant to play him much. Either way, there is deiniftely something more to this than simply not being good enough, AW always gives signings a fair chance and Park has been quite impressive in the games he has started.
There doesn't have to be anything weird going on all the same. Van Persie is our captain and best player, Wenger wants him on the field as long as possible. Therefore, Park would need to come in on the wing, and why play him when we can bring on Chamberlain or Benayoun. He isn't playing I'm almost sure of it because in training he has probably not made a case to be played. Not that he has been poor, but I'm saying he most likely hasn't done anything to convince Wenger to bring him on in front of other players.
Campbell will knock him out of the lineup anyway so we should just sell him along with Chamakh, Vela and Bendtner and strengthen from the combined cash being spent on two impact squad players or one class winger.
