Lukas Podolski

Doc

😆 my bad.
Sending off today was cleary for Cologne to get relegated and then we can get him on the cheap. better?

Rex

You´re catching on Doc! 🙂

We know that nothing has been signed so obviously nothing is decided in the official sense.

He's still got to finish the season with Cologne so it's unlikely he'd say anything else or will say anything different until he's pulling our shirt on in July 🙂

Mata´s father came out in the summer saying his son was signing for Arsenal. We all know how that turned out...

As I said before - I think we are still haggling over the price. I can see us and Köln having VERY different valuations over Podolski.

Doc

watched a couple of youtube vids & im pretty excited about this guy. Is he normally on the wings for Germany?
Has a sweet left foot, good off the ball movement & looks pretty clinical... Get his fair share of assists aswell
Walcott looks like he could learn a thing or 2 from Podolski.

When?

Edit: Misread what you'd said. Had no idea that was the case though.

Rex

Heh. Not even sure if it IS true. Sounded cool mostly. 🙂

Shady

:hmm:

that to do with the sending off?

Ricky1985

Nothing in it.

He's explaining to his coach what the ref said he did to send him off.

Rex

That is some explaining! He uses a very, eh, hands on approach. Interesting technique. 🙂

Ricky1985

Nothing gets your point across better than a hand round the throat, Rexy, you know that.

Rex

I am sure Stålbakken understands Podolski´s side of things properly now anyway.

Great photo.

I'm sure Podolski is just massaging that guy's neck😉

Rex

If he is so stupid he can´t tell the difference between throat and neck - I don´t want him.

Following a meeting of chiefs 😆 in Cologne this weekends the deal is done - according to the DM.

Gunners chiefs flew to Cologne on Friday to meet with chiefs from the Bundesliga club to finally complete the deal.

Must be our worst kept ever signing secret.

Patters

Right, so we've signed Podolski 3 times now. Only 15 more until we break Schwarzer's record.

Taking "Ståle" and "Solbakken" and mashing it together to Stålbakken, I like it 😆

THIS is what mata's dad said:

'Valencia simply rejected their offer. After some hesitation they answered "no" to the Gunners’ offer.
'So my son remains a Valencia player, for now. But I don’t think it’s their last offer,' said Mata's father, Juan Manuel Mata Rodriguez.
'There are several offers for Mata and I think that Arsenal will come forward again. The situation is still evolving.
