Lukas "Lucas Padolski" Podolski

Done deal!

A good signing for Arsenal for £10.9m. Amazing that he's only 26, and has 95 German caps. Germans usually find it quite easy to settle into the PL.

Possibly RVP's replacement?

I'd hope so because a front 3 of Podolski RVP Ox/Walcott could be very dangerous.

There was some hint on the radio last week (H&J on TS I think) that RVP could be on his way this summer: Here's hoping.

There was some hint on the radio last week (H&J on TS I think) that RVP could be on his way this summer: Here's hoping.

After Wenger's comments today you can be extremely sure that RVP will **** off. Too little too late for him (after he was banging on about last summer how they really need to strengthen and when Fabregas/Nasri left he smashed on about how much they need reinforcements that never came). He's been playing the shop window, he's definitely off.

Here's Wenger's genius comments:

Arsene Wenger says goals from Robin van Persie will be vital

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants Robin van Persie to "push us over the line" in his side's pursuit of a place in the Champions League.

The Dutch striker is this season's leading scorer in the Premier League, having found the net 28 times so far.
"He has to push us over the line," said Wenger. "There are two games to go. We have been a bit over-reliant on him, I concede that.
"But it is difficult to change that before the end of the season."

Van Persie's most recent goal helped Arsenal to secure a point against Stoke City on Saturday, a result that puts them four points clear in third place.
Spurs, Newcastle and Chelsea all have a game in hand over Arsenal as the four clubs vie for a Champions League spot.
Wenger was pleased with his side's display at the Britannia Stadium, which kept them ahead of the chasing pack.
"It was a valuable point because we showed battling qualities we have not always shown here," he added.

With regards to the bold bit there, I'm sure RVP's been thinking 'Yea well you ****ing never bothered after Fabregas/Nasri left YOU CUNT!'
