Rosicky and Sanogo are the latest additions to our long injury. The curse of the international break comes back to haunt us again.

Sanogo is a walking injury.

Don't think they are actual injuries - just doubts apart from Sanogo who has a back problem.
Arsene will give his usual conference before Sunderland and let us know what the situation is. The good news? Verm is in part time full training with the rest of the squad. Expect him to feature in the coming weeks.

It's not too bad this time, we usually get more than this. I am grateful Kos Sagna and Mert came back fit Giroud too as that is were we are most short of cover.
I think Walcott is fine, Wilshire may not start this weekend anyway. Roscky does pick up a few injuires these days and we have plnety of cover in midfield now

From what i've seen so far, I don't think we'll miss Sanogo. I know he's still young and pretty much raw, but is he any better than Gervinho and Bendtner. At present, I personally don't think so, but I guess he needs games. and lots of them!
As for Tommy Ros, i'm sure Otzil will fit into his role just nicely if he doesn't make it for Sunderland. Can't wait to see how he performs. I don't think i've been so excited to see a player since Henry came back. Very sad I know! lol

There has to be a problem with our training methods, because we get far too many injuries and also the recovery period always seems prolonged. I don't recall so many problems when Gary Lewin was at
the club.

I would not worry about Sanogo so much. the fact that he was free was the reason we got him anything over £3.75 pence and we would not have bought him. He doesn't look like a player that you would fork out money for to me.

Same old story with Arsenal - injuries, injuries and more injuries, although this season we have added illness too. Please Arsenal, change the way that our players are conditioned, because this just can not be a coincidence! Funny how AW is now starting to moan about being short of numbers - well, all Arsenal fans knew this weeks ago so no more excuses.

We are also interested in Ciprian Marcia and supposedly are close to signing him I believe he is now a free agent after leaving Schalke. What do you know about him and what does that mean by we are free to sign him. Can we sign a player that is a free agent outside the transfer window?

When players are released by their clubs at the end of their contract, they become free agents and can sign for any club they wish (or any club that wants them) without a transfer fee being paid.
The advantage to the player is that he can demand a better deal for himself as the purchasing club does not have to pay a fee to the club which he has just come from.
Clubs can sign 'free agents' outside of the transfer window, at any point. Flamini could have signed after the transfer deadline but I suspect that Arsenal wanted that news out there.
I think we were in competition with West Ham for him (or so the story goes) but as they have just announced the signing Petric from Fulham, I doubt they would be interested in another striker.
I do not know a great deal about him, released by Schalke 04 at the end of the season and can play a variety of advanced positions. Striker, Winger & support striker. Think the crucial bit here is that he can use both feet so can play either wing.
I have no idea of his abilities!
We all know that we are short on the left at the moment. Has all the hallmarks of a classic Wenger singing.

This guy can't score to save his life. About 19 goals in three seasons?. Now we have made the step up we can no longer go after players of this ilk. We will be ok till January, then we can look for a World class striker. As Jones would say "don't panic".

Yeh he doesn't have the most prolic record. 19 goals in 93 games for one club and 5 in 34 games for another german club. prolific at international level though. will take him but only because he's free

Not another Bentner whithout his massive goal tally and advertising kecks

His highest goal scoring season he scored 11 goals in all competitions I don't think we will sign him at all. You don't spend 42m on Ozil to have him playing behind Ciprian Marica.
