KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Podolski to Arsenal

So Arsenal and Cologne have agreed a deal for Podolski to join Arsenal this summer....what are your thoughts? Personally I think that your getting a lot of player for 10.9 million, and I would have liked to have seen Liverpools name somewhere in the race to sign him...shame, I rate him highly and think he will do really well in the Prem

its worth a gamble for that price

Wenger knows a good player.

The thing is tho, most people know that Podolski is a good player, and for that price potentially a great buy, thats why I would have hoped to have seen our name floating about in the race to land his signature!

Although I have only really seen him at world cups and euros, I think he would have been an excellent signing. Shame, but it sounds like he wanted to go to Arsenal. You dont get much for 10m these days, and he's only 26.

For that money he'd better score less than 1/3 of the goals that andy carroll delivers or I'm going to start thinking that our manager is clueless in the transfer market!

Does Wenger/Redknapp have a 'commoli' type working with them? Spurs and arsenal really seem to know what they are doing when it comes to signing players

bendtner.

Exactly. Cost them virtually nothing and was a regular starter for a few years, during which time they only once failed to finish above us in the league (thanks to the superb rafa benitez!) and never missed out on CL qualification. A very healthy profit for Bendtner is imminent.
Like I said, Wenger knows what he's doing.

Good player but not that great and he has struggled at club level football. I don't see how he would fit in.

I wasn't suggesting we sign him, it's not the Liverpool way. When we want a non scoring striker we smash the british transfer record and do it in style! No messing.
