^^^ not even, i have one image of senderos and thats when we were in the last season at highbury, we played chelsea at stamford bridge in august-maybe it was like our 3rd game of the season and drogba absolutely bullied him

senderos surprises me because he is big (about 6ft 2 plus??) and loads of clubs wanted him (juve, man utd, chelsea etc) but too me he never really looks comfortable. I would much rather have Djourou when he gets fit again

Just thinking aloud, didn’t we try senderos out in DM position during the pre-season? how did he look? I think he would be a good DM. He has height, average speed, and is good on the ball. The only problem i forsee is his tackling ability !!

Loving the Sol signing!
As for getting a striker, we’d all love to have someone, and if Wenger does sign someone, it’ll be someone who fits 100% into Arsenal. It’s just that there are not that many around. If there is one available, Arsene will find him
But if we don’t get one, we’ll be alright. We’ve not had problems scoring goals, Theo’ll be back soon, Eduardo can only get better, and Nikky B’s back soon, yay!
Irrespective of what happens this month, we’ll be alright!

Thanks Devday for the explanation. That does help a lot..

@Kuka!

The problem for Senderos is that he’s not first choice and he’s had his chances to the point where he made Campbell go crazy and leave – but he’s not agile enough for a club like us. Drogba and Torres are much more agile and can run rings around him. The problem we faced is that we’ve been unable to sell him for those reasons alone.

We’ve tried him out in different positions, but it’s not worked and in all honesty, I can see why Arsene doesn’t play him. With Gallas and Vermaelen doing well and Silvestre a more agile and versatile player, he’s fourth / fifth choice.

Senderos must have also questioned the boss’s decision making and that’s why he looks to fallen out of favour – I say this because he’s not played in games that we all thought he would.

Been thinking about Senderos lately. Are we treating the guy OK or He just really wants to leave? I have not heard an Arsenal player talk of wanting to leave like Senderos does lately? I wonder how his 8am-5pm looks like, what he does in training? if he trains at all? Does he pass by the dressing room after games? I know they are good pals with Fab. I wonder what he tells the Captain…….a lot of wondering…..I feel it for the boy

@CON-MAN: I agree with you regarding everything else, but I really do not want to see Van Nistelroy at Arsenal. You will agree with me that Wenger wouldnt sign him and Arsenal fans would not embrace the guy

im really looking forward to these upcoming weeks. I

yeah I mean maybe were not going to have a 25 goal a season striker, maybe we don’t need one and if the goals are going to be shared around again, i got no problem with that.

I just think that having enough depth is important, i also feel we need a new keeper as well. Joe hart might be available, Almunia is good but sometimes his decision making is quite strange, now we have sol that kind of eases our defensive issues, but again sol is only going to be short term.

as for a midfielder, Vieria would of been again, just as another positive influence and someone to give song a rest for those fa cup games etc

and again as for a striker, still don’t know anything about Chamakh, so we’ll have to wait and see but as i said van nistelrooy would be good, he can score, is an out and out striker and can help us adjust our gameplan and give us a more physical presence up front. no idea wen B52 is going to be back but hes definately not going to be 100% right away

I agree with you con-man, these signings are good but not really very useful to our current campaign. Galindo hasn’t got a work permit yet so will be shipped off somewhere until that comes trough. Wellington Silva is only 16 so he will not feature any time soon.

According to reports Chamakh has not signed a pre-contract agreement for Liverpool and it is between us and Barca…but again he will not help our current campain!!

I think Dev is right. This is it for our Jan signings. Let us hope and pray B52 provides us the firepower required.
