Should Wenger give him a chance to prove his worth?

Podolski‘I’ve had to wrap myself up warm in my winter coat with my hat and scarf on to watch the others playing.’

Lukas Podolski has one again hit out at Arsene Wenger over his lack of game time at Arsenal this season.

The German forward has struggled to get games this season and the previous one and has indicated that he may have to consider leaving the Emirates when the January transfer window opens if his situation doesn’t change.

The 29-year-old has featured just the eight times so far this season (with one of those as a starter in the Capital One Cup) and was once again on the bench but wasn’t summoned by Arsene Wenger against Arsenal’s 2-1 loss to Swansea last Sunday.

And after that game, Podolski spoke of his future at the Emirates:

‘I’ve spent the last four months making brief appearances.

‘I would rather show Arsenal what I am capable of, but this chance to show what I can do is not being given to me.

‘I want to play football for many years to come so am I meant just to say everything is fine and sit my contract out?’

Galatasaray and Juventus have previously been linked with a move for Podolski, who said a move back to former club Cologne could be on the agenda in the future, but his agent has since denied these rumours with the Turkish outfit stating they were never interested in the forward.

So with Podolski contemplating his future, should Wenger give him more game time and the chance to show what he is capable of? Or should the Frenchman look to offload the German this January?

    Quite frankly I’d rather have Wenger leave than Podolski.

    Podolski seems to vanish in some games, but when he gets a chance in the box, he is lethal!
    I hope he gets more chances from the start. If he is a sub, let him come in earlier!
    I do NOT want him to leave.

    Podolski should have been given more game time ever since Giroud and/or Ozil became injured. Did you see the look of joy when he last played and scored that was genuine. It makes no sense paying a quality player and then leaving them on the sidelines and only let them play a minutes here and there. It’s disrespectful to the player as well as the fans.
    Mr. Wenger please consider a poor fans opinion, you know it makes sense, let the idlers watch the game from the stands.
    Arsenal forever.
