What's Giroud then, a master of creativity?

No, fine lets sell our most natural shooter and goal scorer because that knob Wenger doesn't know how to use him or isn't willing to try and the next time we need someone to come on and rescue a game who are we going to bring on?


They're both not great and definitely not Arsenal standard

Podolski is extremely limited player and the less he plays, the better he seems. I hate how he never can take on a player and always passes to the nearest player

Still better than Welbeck though. And infinitely the best goal scorer in our squad.

Wenger doesn't know how to use a direct goal-scorer. He can only function around those passers of the ball. In fact, he dislikes goals so much, our main striker's best attribute isn't even goal scoring!

The only thing Poldi has over Welbz is that left foot. Obviously goal-scoring is important but if you don't work/get into the positions to score then the chances are you probably won't. This is what happens with Poldi. As Gooney said, Poldi never takes on players, never has darting runs or never gets behind defences. You simply can't be that limited to play for a top team anymore.

Not fan of welbeck, but you have to take into,account by just moving around welbeck can move players and create space for others. Podzol ski static game affect the whole team. Others suffer because he has s not moving and teams become more solid. He is simply too lazy and this is why he has failed at. Ameen and now at arsenal

I really don't want him sold!

We have plenty of wing forwards, but I feel that Podolski was never given a fair crack at the LWF position.

Don't blame him for leaving but he won't be properly replaced and we could end January with a worse squad than we have now!

Podolski would be amazing if played as a CF.

Wenger's problem is he buys CF's then plays them wide, he buy's CAM's and plays them as wingers, he buy's ST then plays them wide.

Quite frankly he's a fking imbecile.

Mourinho on the other hand, looking at his last two buys.

Buys a CM ....... plays him at CM (Fabregas)
Buys a ST ....... plays him as a ST (Costa)

This is why I can't stand Wenger anymore and I'll buy Champagne the day he's gone, I wasn't even Wenger out last season that's how much I'm sick of his sh*t.

........ oh and Merry Xmas.

Lukas Podolski

Postby Arsenal Tone » Thu Dec 25, 2014 9:59 pm

Walcott will play RWF, Alexis LWF. Ox and Welbeck will rotate with them. Giroud and Welbeck will rotate up front.

I can see why Wenger would sell him with Theo coming back. Still can't help feeling he never got a chance and that the squad will be weaker.

I'm hoping Wenger's grand masterplan is that Özil behind Alexis & Theo will cause mayhem for defences. Add the lamppost in the mix there's someone to ping it off to if the going gets rough.

He'll go to inter, be played as a second striker and look like a world beater!
