Wonderful! Every time Arsenal are doing well, one of their best players/top scorers gets injured for ages. :doh Kieren Gibbs is out for a while too with a metatarsal injury. Remember the Eduardo leg break, then Arsenal just losing out on the championship? The other top teams seem to be more lucky and have billions of cash to spend too which Arsenal don't as they run a club properly like it should be run, rather than running at a loss like a lot of the others do!

:icon_lol: Yeah, I think they should have some spare cash seeming as the sold more than they spent. Been a few rumours of players that they are watching & might buy, but have to wait until January to see if they do buy any. Would be nice to have the full team squad all fit for a little while! Annoyingly Van Persie was injured during international duty, like Walcott was a few months back after playing for England and England under 21's!
