I POSTED THIS AT THE BEGINING OF AUGUST.
Ed0025. Hello mate. I'm hearing a few disturbing rumours from decent sources. It is that Theo's injuries have been a bit touch and go whereas it could be a CAREER CHANGER.Have you heard anything or wouldn't you be allowed to comment on anything like that.
I've recently also now heard apart from what's on Physioroom lately and although there has been some improvement it's still a bit touch and go. Personally I'm a bit concerned for him. The club are keeping their cards tight to their chest.
Is their any more news to add from the Eds?.

{Ed001's Note - it seems to be the usual case of Arsenal being unable to keep a recovery on schedule. No idea why this happens, they have both the resources and facilities to enable players to bounce back quickly. I did wonder if Arsene was just deliberately holding players back, to bring them on slowly, so they would not pick up recurrences, but I am told that this is not the case. That the rehab work and timeframes are solely left to the medical dept. I am surprised Wenger, who is an intelligent man with a lot of knowledge in this area, would leave the status quo in place, if so. I would have thought he would be looking to bring in better staff. I guess it could be a loyalty thing though?}

We did bring in a new guy to run the medical side of things ( can't remember his name used to be with the German squad ) but I would imagine it's going to take time to change it round but it is being dealt with
