Arsenal are hoping to sign Victor Wanyama (Celtic), Klaas Jan Huntelaar (Schalke 04) and Lewis Holtby (Schalke 04) in January

It's more like arsenal fan hoping to sign, not arsenal

Who's that celtic guy, i don't want him. Hunterlaar, why you want him, we got Giroud ? Hotlby, not that strong attacking midfielder we want to step in for Diaby. So i disagree mate.

^^ Huntelaar is a goal scoring machine. Giroud is a lazy ba$tard who will end up like Chamakh as he is not good enough for the prem. I agree that Wanyama and Holtby will not really strengthen us so I would rather we signed others.

Did you really just say that Wanyama wouldn't strengthen the squad? Have you ever watched him play or are you just assuming he's bad because he plays for Celtic, Wanyama is a class midfielder and has been watched by Manchester United as well. As for Holtby he would need developing as he's only a young midfielded, at the age of 21/22 he not exactly going to be the best but then again The Ox is still only 18/19 and is a very classy winger. Huntelaar would get us goals and that is what we need.

To say giroud is lazy is a joke! The guy works tirelessly through the game! Yes he isn't messi with the ball at his feet but he wins headers all day long. He knocks the ball down well, we just don't have a mild fielder that drives forward onto the ball as cesc did. Our midfield is basically 3 of the same player. I agree we need another striker as options are limited and hunterlaar would be great, scoring for fun.

Hunterlar would be mustard,would also like to see afelly at the arsenal,gazidas needs to get lost,he only ever talks about sustainable business models,spread sheets,profit rubbish,bring back david dien,at least he allways got wenger his man,silent stan should stick to rounders in america,so lets see what happens in january now that gazidas shot his mouth off about funds being ready to use in jan,or will those funds be ready once he has sold another two top stars? p.s theo is not gready,give him the deal he deserves,and get rid of all the deadwood from our great club,every one knows who they are. thanks for your time. comments welcome. richie b,the arsenal.

"Whos that Celtic guy don't want him" what an arse. If we only bought players you'd heard of we wouldn't have a team you soppy plastic

For me, Giroud seems to be very slow and lacks the ability to create chances for himself. How many shots did he (our only striker) actually have against Villa. Even a multi time pick pocket from Saudi Arabia could count how many times his stumps.

Wanyamas class did u not watch him in champions league v barca

Anyone else think that it was utterly ridiculous to take off Giroud yesterday? To me, it either implied we had no ambition to win the game and were happy with a point at a side who were in the relegation zone or it gave the impression to Giroud that Wenger has no faith in him. Either way it's pretty bad if you ask me.

Absolutely. particularly when we had wilshere on the bench. if you are drawing 0-0 with Villa with 5 mins to go and need to bring a CF off, why not at least bring on another attacking player? i do rate coquelin but he is unlikely to create a goalscoring opportunity. and if wilshere was too fatigued to bring on, why didnt wenger bring someone like gnabry instead? so baffled.

I really think Giroud could be a top player for us, but he's getting absolutely no service, there seems to be no link or drive between defence and attack, we're still passing it about too slowly and to death !
The ball needs to be put in the box a lot earlier, I like Jenkinson, but he's too slow to cross the ball, get it in early, and high for Giroud to get on the end of it. !

It was a very disjointed game, i think the conditions were horrible. either Giroud was poor or he got no service but in the end it was ... just poor

Ash

Giroud is poor and so are Arsenal!

I think it shows that Arsene is happy with a point at Villa - totally unacceptable - better to try and win and risk losing one point - oh ans please Mr Wenger - get rid of Ramsey as he is just not good enough for Arsenal.

Disagree with you, most of the team was showing signs of fatigue, i feel wenger just wanted to try something different,it was an awful day best forgotten, we need strength in depth as the squad is still light in certain areas, i feel we will play a lot better on wednesday.

Podolski is subbed in every game and is wasted on the left flank. in the wake of not having a serious goal threat behind giroud he and lukas should be the ones rotated if we still play with this 4-3-3 formation.
also gives the likes of gervinho and arshavin (not great) to play more often than not

If we have to rely on Gervinho and Arshavin we are in serious trouble - Gervinho is basically rubbish and Arshavin talented but lazy!

Hope we don't get zaha he's overrated he's just fast that's it

He's not even the best player in the championship he's been hyped up by the media he's no better than Redmond if we interested in him i think it would be btr to call myiachi he was good at Bolton but not geting much chance at Wigan

Heard from gossip from oop north but also reported on and in 2 daily newspapers:

Wenger wants to sign Stewart Downing in a cut price £10 million deal.

Despite want some Liverpool fans think, they are desperate for cash. I understand the total deal might amount to £10 million but like pretty much every transfer nowadays, it won't be £10 million up front.

Heard also that Southampton want Squillaci on loan

If Wenger paid £1 for Downing I would want him out of the club altogether.
Not a chance of this happening. Downing is sh1te. this is worse than all the Joey Barton rumours that went around last season

£10m would not be a cut down price for a sh1te player who cant play football. I'd rather some unproven youth player than him.
