As all you good people know Arsene Wenger has promised signings in the next two to three weeks and has said he needs a defender and a creative midfielder, no surprise there. I think the only other thing which would make many a Gooner happy is if Wenger said he was going to off Emmanuel Eboué, oh well we can dream. There was plenty of talk on various sites yesterday linking us with Stuttgart striker Mario Gomez. Now it's a bit of a toss up whether we need a new striker as scoring goals wasn't a problem last season. Even Gomez's wikipedia entry said The Arsenal had signed him. However it's been removed, but depending what time of day you go on there it might of reappeared. Until any transfer is confirmed on The Arsenal official site I wouldn't believe we have signed anyone folks, I know it sounds a bit boring but who you going to believe? A wikipedia entry? The Sun online? FansFC? ClubCall? I think you get my drift.
However with the news that Crozilian hitman Eduardo wont be back in January at the earliest it makes sense to get another striker in. But given Mario Gomez's physical traits, big strong, bit of a target man it would be a major surprise if Wenger went for him as we have those traits in abundance what with Bendtner and Adebayor. However given that Eduardo is out until half way through next season, Robin van Persie always being injured and not playing 90 minutes for over 15 months for The Arsenal (I know I was shocked when I found that out too!) a striker wouldn't be a bad shout. We'll see. I'm not sure if David Villa is still doing his 'Come and get me' plea but I reckon we should snap him up. Saying that Ryan Babel was saying all summer how much he wanted to join The Arsenal (he would of been a great addition too) and Wenger didn't go for him. How different this season if Babel was on our side this season. All I know is that whoever Wenger is after it will be probably someone no one would of even thought about, remember Eduardo last season when everyone had us linked to Obafemi Martins (and again this year for some reason), and Nicklas Anelka? So Ronaldinho anyone?
Once again many a site is playing a 'Guess Who' when it comes to defenders and once more Valencia defender Raul Albiol is being linked to us. This brute could be what is needed, he's big, strong, the size of an American camping truck and a Spanish international. We'll soon see if that rumour has any legs.
Allgoonerdup has a new comments section courtesy of WordPress. So now you can share your views on the days topics. If you have an opinion, then jump on there and have your shout, let your fellow Gooners mates know about it too and lets share in all things Arsenal - it's all new, so enjoy. The idea of the comments section is to gage what Gooners are thinking in general. I don't want people to just jump on and be in agreement with everything I say, I want people to have their own thoughts and opinions - so lets hear it: So good people, what do you think? Striker and defender linkage / Jens Lehmann
OK folks to keep the boredom at bay and keep the ball rolling (excuse the pun) Allgoonerdup is running another win a t-shirt contest. And due to the avalanche of entries in the 'Let's talk about Cesc Baby!' t-shirt entries I am putting that t-shirt back in the shop window. So in order to win this bit of clobber simply tell us, how old was Cesc Fabregas when he made his Arsenal debut?
Send your answers, name and postal address plus your choice of t-shirt, colour and size to:
iwannafreebie@allgoonerdup.com
Competition closes Monday 16 June.
Good luck Gooners.
Jens Lehmann: Apparently Jens Lehmann isn't set to retire but is out to hound and take his mental self back to the Bundesliga with Stuttgart being a likely destination. Whatever the big fella decides to do, I wish him luck, oh and all those German strikers.... The sun is out good people, so let's have some of that..
