Part of me thinks we should find a new medical/training staff. A large part of me.

that end of the year injury is misleading right, he is going to be out for the rest of the calendar year but not the season?

Wilshere has zero goals, assists, or passes completed since getting that terrible forearm tattoo. #stats

Arsenal website says Jack's surgery went well, will be back in 4-5 months. That puts his return in the February-March area which is quite a bit more time than the Christmas time return which which was originally speculated. Lost season for Jackie Boy.

Those in the lamestream media are too afraid to search for the truth.

So how we all feelin' about RvP holding off on contract extension talks? Not surprising. Hope we can do enough between now and August to convince him to stick around or else he'll get sold I imagine.

Read the bottom right of the pic. Its Oxlade-Chamberlain and Coquelin.

Is it too early to be dreaming of January transfers?

Riccardo Montolivo's contract expires in May. Could be an attractive pick-up.

He'll most like be leaving Fiorentina this winter. He'd probably be a decent fit at Arsenal since he's pretty suave with a one touch, quick attacking game.

He turned down a move to Roma this summer which is why Roma ended up signing Pjanic. The rumor at the time was that he's probably headed to Inter.

Thanks for imparting some Serie A wisdom. I don't get to watch near enough of it. From the limited times I've seen him play, he seems like he would fit our style well, but Inter makes more sense. Doesn't seem like Italian stars leave Italy very often...

You're probably right that he'd be potentially be a good fit at Arsenal in place of Cesc. Cesc is on a higher level as a playmaker, but Montolivo has a similar game in that he's effective as deep lying playmaker but also very good attacking like Cesc. He's a much more solid defender than Cesc.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up in Milano, especially with their uncertainty about Sneijder, but who knows .. .

I wouldn't mind him leaving, honestly. He will be 29 by next summer. If we get 15M for him, I'd be happy, as long as we went after a really good striker. At the same time, Van Persie is a player who has only ever relied on technique, and that won't disappear as he ages, so he might be useful to keep around.

I'd take Montolivo in a second. Super player.
