Love Poldi's goal celebrations.

I think Kos and Poldi are my favourite players at the moment.

Not a Santi fan Biggs? I actually like pretty much our entire starting XI at the moment for the first time in years. I'd even include Giroud and Walcott in that, when neither is being particularly frustrating.

Biggus

Yeah Giroud and Gervinhio are not actually lazy/greedy/moaning pricks, just limited players doing their best.

Klaus

Giroud was lazy as fuck last season. Which games were you watching?

Biggus

All of them.

Klaus

You must have noticed the goofy guy up front then who was cheating in the defensive end and couldn't be arsed to get inside the box when we were attacking. He worked hard for about three months and then he stopped giving a fuck.

Burnwinter

Giroud, Podolski and Walcott all had very patchy form last season (for whatever reason - Podolski's supporters will tell you it was injury in his case, which is probably correct).

We heard for weeks and weeks that Podolski needed to be given a start. When he was, he was pretty mediocre.

We need a new striker.

Olly is not lazy he puts in a shift defending corners and set pieces, and how do you know he wasn't acting under Wengers instructions, hang back, take your spot in the tikky takky link don't bother getting in the box on the end of crosses we'll walk it in.....

Burnwinter

He's not that bad, but he definitely does drop his shoulders after an hour or so in terms of his movement and hustling back (to the extent that he does).

He was ugly to watch when it wasn't working last season.

Biggus

Well most new players to the PL do (is Poldi a lazy cunt too?), the pace is blistering and the challenges jarring compared to the continental leagues, the real test comes in their second season, its then they sink or swim.

Burnwinter

I pretty much agree with what you say there, although Podolski's poor condition seems to have been exacerbated by a niggle. But he was also often useless in those last half hours on the days when he started.

Biggus

Well I was being rhetorical, just because he's been dragged in every game I think suggests that he lacks the stamina presently to complete 90 minutes not that he's lazy.
Arshavin was the same but he was at his peek and starting his physical decline when he came here, Poldi is younger.

Burnwinter

Arshavin and Podolski aren't physically similar though. Poldi could probably bench press Arshavin over a ten foot fence.

I hope both Podolski and Giroud are busting a gut to get fit in preseason and will also be challenged by the advent of a gun striker in the next few weeks.

Biggus

Hrumph Hrumph Hear Hear.

Sagna is my fave player in this current lot. Was fully expecting him to leave this summer, but now have my hopes up he will stay. Will be truly gutted if he ends up leaving now.

Biggus

Always liked Bac very under rated.

Rex

He has been a warrior for this club since the first day he signed. His commitment and fight and willingness to leave it all on the pitch is light years ahead of anyone else currently at the club.

Captain

I think he loses alot when circumstances aren't right and is mentally fragile.

I also happen to think that he has been world class for the majority of his time here.

Rex

I mainly think he had a sub par season due to two leg breaks.
