Well the following claim from Arsene Wenger this morning may leave you a little bemused.
The Frenchman suggested that Johan Djourou still has a future at Arsenal.
The Swiss centre-back has dropped down the pecking order at The Emirates and has not started a Premier League game for The Gunners since April and was reportedly wanted by Napoli in the summer.
The emergence and impressive displays from Laurent ‘The Boss’ Koscielny and last summer’s deadline day signing Per Mertesacker has certainly not helped Djourou’s cause.
But Wenger says the 25-year-old still has a future at the club, which is a bit bamboozling to say the very least:
Le Boss was quoted in The Sun this morning saying:
‘I didn’t let Djourou leave as I love him as a player, and he loves the club.’
Credit to Djourou for staying at the club, as he could have easily left. But it wasn’t a very wise decision from the Switzerland international.
If anything his future at Arsenal looks very bleak. He will make the odd appearance he and there this season, but as long as TV5, ‘Kos the Boss’ and ‘The Great White Oak’ (that’s Per for anyone who isn’t familiar with this), remain at the club and are fit to play, Djourou will more than certainly be warming the bench this season and seasons to come.
