Lukas Podolski has finally been officially announced as a Gunner. We knew this ages ago, the only thing that held the announcement back were the problems that were being experienced at his former club FC Koln.
We had an early start adding value and depth to our squad, which is great to see. The question now is, who do we go for next?
I have a simple and straight forward answer to this question, and we don’t even have to look far – Yossi Benayoun.
The on loan Israeli has been brilliant for us when he has featured. He’s experienced, has great technical ability, is highly creative and a superb team player. Benayoun has shown interest in playing for us in recent weeks, so why not sign him permanently when the season is up? Chelsea don’t look like they really need him, as they have an overload of midfielders amongst their squad.
To put it simply, Yossi is a brilliant player and one we can not let pass us by, especially after seeing what he can bring to the table first hand this season.
If we sign him then maybe we can go for Eden Hazard and the rest of those high-profile players everyone keeps yapping on about.
But having seasoned heads in the squad certainly won’t hurt us, especially when they are playing well and can offer something to the side like Yossi Benayoun does.
With the experience from the ‘older players’ and the flair from the younger ones, I believe we will be and look even more dangerous next campaign, which of course will mean that we will finally get our hands on some silverware next season.
Do you agree? Should Yossi Benayoun be our next summer signing, or is there another player we should be concentrating on?

It will be nice and brilliant if Arsene Wenger can make Yossi the next signing and work fast about Hazard or M’villa.
your all stupid…. we as the arsenal should be looking at bigger and better calibre players not chelsea rejects like him, sure hes helped us out this season but he hasnt fired 15 goals or provided numerous assists….. i think you lot have all bought into wengers cheapo mentality and forgot we are the mighty arsenal.. manus backup wingers is valencia…why should we settle on someone who cant change games for us!!!!!
And when you look at united they are strongest when their most experienced players I.e Giggs and Scholes are on.
Its not all about having young players with flare. He’s still a good player. Why let him go to waste.
Hazard is way too exspensive and yet unproven. Just hypes so far
Sign him on a two year deal. Experienced and creative and hard working.
Then sign Vertonghen, M’Vila and Hoilett.
Sell off Diaby, Djourou, Song.
sell song… Thats the most stupid thing ive heard today
Sell song! Your a fool Quartz.
quartz i think ure very stupid and u watch arsenal wt ur asshole nt eyes. Rvp,song and koscielny are d teams back bone.
That first sentence is top draw, and I also think it’s totally true.
sell song?i fink u watch our matches on your radio.
Sell off song?u must be on crack or something even worse
Sell Song lol. Thats a good joke, it had to be a joke coz I cant take that serious. Or you could be blind and not see the TV or watch the matches, if thats the case I understand your misjudgements.
how can you say such a thing sell Song? please dont say it again
Song???????
You’re totally clueless mate. Name a better deep lying midfielder in the prem?
Since the Invincibles of 2004 , Arsenal have finished combined 104 points behind the eventual league winners . That’s some 15 points less per season than the league winners and they are on track to repeat this feat this year. Should they rectify this shortcoming , perhaps better and more talented players are needed.
He is a good player but for us he will be surplus to requirements and a drain on finances.
I think we should bring in Capoue, Vertonghen, Belhanda & Matias Suarez.
Capoue would bring in brute muscle.
We have Song who can hold the fort while we develop him.
Vertonghan.. We should have got him years ago already.
Belhanda.. He is fluid & would fit our play amazingly (imagine him playing with Wilshire or Arteta!!!)
M.Suarez.. Wow.. This guy is epic!
I have this gut feeling that Hazard would just be another Nasri – We’d develop jim then he’d shit on our faces and go to Spain
He will take up a space where ox or myaichi or Ramsey would use, he isn’t good enough anyway yeh he has had a couple of good games but to fair he has been shocking for most of the season.
yossi is gud but he is getting older so players lyk hazard & gotz are way better zan for the team.
and if benzima cames to arsenal it all over!!!
I thnk u ar d fool 4 sayin dat. E is nt a rejctd plyer bt ws injurd & whn he came bck almst lost his plc bt forth 4 it b4 he ws taken on load. He is a gud player & ned @lst 2yrs contrct 4rm arsenal. He wll b useful
I shall say what everyone else is thinking!
