It astounds me how much Gervinho misses sitters?? He lets so many opportunities go to waste. His lead up play is awesome (most of the time). Can't finish though.
I think another RVP level striker is a necessity. I also still think we could do with another creative midfielder and a defensive midfielder (M'Villa would be awesome, we are screwed if Song gets injured). If one of Arteta or Ramsey go down. Rosicky, or Diaby won't be able to fill the void at all. I know Wilshere is there.. but we are still very fragile with depth.
Does anyone know how long till Sagna gets back? And I saw Verm went off early in the match yesterday. Precautionary or is he f**ken injured again?
Gervinho's finishing will come good. He scored 15 last year in the league, granted the french league is soft, but i'm expecting him to be ok before the seasons end. It's all about confidence. I think 10 is a realistic target for him and Theo.
You make it sound like there are other strikers at RVP's level elsewhere. What he's doing right now hasn't been done in years. Aside from Messi and Ronaldo there aren't many others that are at his level. Cavani and Gomez maybe (there would be more out there but cbf thinking). But we won't be getting either. We just need someone that can come in and finish off moves. We are linked with Podolski who can play striker, and he's probably one of the better forward players that will be moving teams, if he does, in the Jan window.
I can't see us going for M'Villa again, Rennes will be asking for too much again and considering how well Song is going we won't be breaking any records to bring in a player to start out on the bench. We missed out big by not making a move for Scott Parker imo.
Vermaelen's injury was from the Fellaini elbow wasn't it? So it'll be a head knock. Should be sweet for next week. Was definitely just precaution i'd say(hope).
