I think he can definitely give Giroud some rest and come in the starting lineup either out wide or up top whenever needed. He's a huge addition, IMO.

I'm glad he is back. He is a proven player on every level of the game. It can only help Arsenal.

absolutely. he's so frustrating sometimes, but no denying his finishing quality.

if Ox is back by the new year, should we loan out Gnabry in January to a PL club?

Great question. I believe that is probably what is going to occur. He needs minutes and won't be getting any with Poldi and the Ox back in the rotation.

preferably we could loan him out to a good, mid-table club that could use a winger. Like maybe Swansea or Southampton or ManU.

#humblediss ... i like it

I think Podolski is going to be a great backup to Giroud. Would give us different looks we can field. Speed up top or speed down the sides.

We really should loan players to PL clubs more.. Chelsea has a nice racket going with letting Lukaku take points off their competition and then not playing against them.

Maybe Serge could be our Romelu?

Martinez would be a good choice too, he seems to do very well at coaching em up. they're broke enough to want to do it to

i don't think there's enough space on Everton for that move to work. he'd toil on the bench. he'd be behind Mirallas, Pienaar, Deulofeu, and Osman.

oh, sorry. we were talking about january so i was confused.

well, Martinez has said there's a good chance Deulofeu stays another year so that probably wouldn't work next year either. otherwise, i'm with you.

If Ox, Podolski is back and healthy, who do you think Wenger prefers to start on the left?

My guess is he would stick with Santi.

i would say santi too, though probably would be a decent amount of rotation.

I would not say that is a bad decision at all. Especially Santi on the left (drifting inside when possible) and Ozil behind the striker, it is working out well. And one advantage of playing Santi is he tracks back well.

The little guy tries so hard and plays with so much joy. I love him.

Starting to worry about Saturday. I think we get through tomorrow. City rested a ton of guys and have the extra day of rest. I don't think we can afford not to play a strong line up tomorrow.
