***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

With diaby playing 65 minutes in a reserve game and walcott on the verge on signing his new deal. These are the "two new signings" wenger was talking about. Dont get your hopes up of any experienced players coming in. Hope I'm wrong though

I still think we sign at least one experience player. Especially with Chamakh and Djourou both leaving.

Yeah we definitely need to sign at least one. It's really discouraging seeing players like Ba get snapped up due to another club meeting their release clause, because those are instances where this is absolutely no reason Wenger shouldn't have at least made an offer, especially amidst all the reports that the Arsenal board is actually keen to spend money this window.

The source is only The Sun, but it is suggesting that Arsene Wenger wants to send Jenkinson out on loan to play every week for the remainder of the season. It says that Jenkinson has already rejected an offer from Crystal Palace.

Diaby is starting, Santos is on the bench.

Random thoughts...

Koscielny did something stupid by putting his arms around Dzeko, but that was only 50% of it. The other 50% of it was Dzeko throwing his arms up and falling to the ground. Still, Koscielny can't put himself in that position.

The rule of a red card + penalty needs to be changed. Its often discussed how its actually a double penalty, and really should be one or the other.

Wilshere is getting the hell beat out of him in every game he plays, and its going to catch up to him. He's left in a heap more than any other player out there, and while its great to see his aggressive attitude, he can only take so much punishment.

Diaby looked pretty good, but had to stay back due to the red card early on.

Walcott should never be taking free kicks, and should not be starting up top. Perhaps we should have sold him in the Summer and replaced him with someone who gives a damn more than 40% of the time.

For what we had to work with, we played really well in the second half. City are always tough defensively, so when you give them a two goal lead and a man advantage, it'll be tough to score on them.

Huge game Wednesday, as its our only hope of winning a trophy.

I would like to see a Giroud sighting on Wednesday. Kos will be sitting due to the red so either Squillaci or Miguel will be on the bench, under normal logic. Please no injuries.

Didn't see this mentioned, but Arteta will be out for three weeks.

Ugh. Losing Arteta is bad. At least Diaby is back temporarily(I say temporarily since we all know it's a matter of time before he gets injured again).
