120 minutes in a League Cup match..that shows where he stands in the Arsenal team. You know who else played in that match? fricking Chamakh and Arshavin.

WHen was the last time he started a league match?


1) he was coming back from an injury, it's a good place to play a player that's coming back.

2) he was obviously in a contract dispute and still is - as soon as they're done with that he's in the starting 11 without a doubt IMO.

If there was any doubt of his health, they would have subbed him off after x amount of minutes. The fact they let him go for 120 minutes shows there was no doubt over his fitness level.

When you play Man Utd, you play your best players, contract issues or not. Wenger decided not to, for whatever reason (and fitness level is not a good excuse) and Arsenal paid for it.

He may come to a contract agreement with Arsenal. I am just skeptical based on what I've seen so far. Seems to me they would have taken care of this in the summer if they had any intent in keeping him. Not re-signing him, not playing him where he wants to be played AND using him as a sub for the first half of the season, only to re-sign him in January just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
