I'm intrigued that Wenger is resting the 3 World Cup Germans and they will miss the start of the season. I can understand resting Ozil as he played in all the matches, but Mertesacker & Podolski trained, but didn't play in the latter stages of the tournament. We need to get off to a good start and have a congested start to the campaign, so we need all hands on board.

As far as I understood he is obliged by FIFA to give them 4 weeks of rest or something.

Man1ac, if that were the case wouldn't all returning world cup players be governed by the same rules?

I think stuff like this is a joke, the longer they get off the more time it will take to get match fit again, and correct me if I am wrong but is nt pre season when you jel with your team mates and try out different strategies and tactics? ozil definitely needs a pre season as his did not get one last year, the other 2 maybe not, and this also means we will be adopting the same tactics as last year, so wenger clearly has learnt nothing from last season and nothing from the World Cup!

Man1ac is right. And all players are Robbie. From the day that they are released by the national squad they have 4wks
