Paper talk says we are looking to offload Podolski. Spurs amongst others interested. I know he looked disinterested last night but do we really want to lose another striker unless as being reported he is to be replaced by Di Maria. We need depth not one in, one out!

{Ed022's Note - Although Poldi hasn't been with us long, he knows the deal with Arsenal and Spurs and will NEVER sign for Spurs. He was once asked in a Q&A session "Describe Spurs in one word?" His answer was "I don't think I can, there are too many families and children here." On a side issue, the same question was asked to Ramsey. His response? "Fifth" What a legend!}

Rubbish. Podolski is absolutely vital to us. He'll feature in almost every game he's fit this season. Total team player and scored goals at every level. As for selling to Spurs, that's the most ridiculous rumour of the season. Unless that is we're buying Bale? May as well start that rumour as we've as much chance of getting him as we do Suarez or Rooney.

I hope we don't offload him. I love Poldi and I wish he would play more. I yearn for him to be on the pitch more. Poldoski is a great player and extremely versatile. I think offloading him is a massive mistake.

I agree selling Poldi doesn't make much sense to me, I didn't read much into his demeanour last night. I think its understandable, for you to look less motivated when you come on in the last five munites of a game already wrapped up. He can't be happy that he doesn't make starting 11, but for me he is still a goal threat in a team that lacks that at present. I just think he is not quite a winger or quite a lone striker, and that's where we sort of scratch our heads with him. But definitely got the quality the squad needs.

I would honestly love to see him sold (not to spurs though) I think he was below average last season and he simply aren't good enough for Arsenal

Hope he get's more game time to show his worth. There seems to be a good vibe in the dressing room which he seems to be a central part of.

{Ed022's Note - As I said on another post, he was central to the fun and games being had on tour, just look at the video on him and Mertesacker being samaurai warriors...very amusing! I think he is a great leader and player to have in the dressing room and on the pitch and someone who I would very much like to stay...}

Peddes are you high? He contributed with 17goals and 11assits last saeson to me that's good from the wide area

Ed 22 if ramsey was asked now would his reply be "better"

{Ed022's Note - He'd play mind games and change his answer to "Sixth"...}

Schalke supposedly interested. Hope not, could be great this season

Ed 22 ha ha yea that would be a good reply except that I don't think ramsey would think that quickly and it would hardly be the same level of mind games as say fergie and mourhino. I think if he said sixth most people including other teams may say he is only saying that because if asked the question again he might say something like "scared" I know I would be
