Podolski

[SmudgersBeak]

Whatever anyone thinks of him, he absolutely loves this club.

Just telling you what you want to hear, FR. #moneyfornothing

If he is not played or not given a run of games this is not entirely his fault. Wenger bought him to the Arsenal then does not select him he has not had a bad return since he has joined and I do not think that you could possibly know what he thinks and neither do I but as a fellow Arsenal supporter I find your cynicism for the player strange
Whatever is wrong with you is no small thing

Smudger, whatever Podolski is doing is not enough to impress the manager. That's my only problem with the player. To not get picked is enough reason, imo, for a player not to be happy, but this guy's over the moon on a daily basis. Now this is strange !

The odd Tweet claiming an undying love for Arsenal is not all a player should need to do to gain favour with the supporters, and it doesn't with me.

So how's that gain favour as you put it

Come on wooden top admit you are wrong for once.....remember who you are and what you represent

Wrong ? If all it took was a four yard tap in to make everything alright then this forum would be a much happier place.

Here's a comparison for you, Smudger - Podolski knocks one in from four yards and he's back in the good books. Wenger wins The F.A. Cup but he still deserves dogs abuse. Balance, man. Balance.

That's the least Pod should be doing for The Club given the rewards he enjoys.

What, sitting on the bench every game?

I'm talking about the other rewards that many people would give their right arm for. And for someone who rarely plays, he's a very cheerful boy. Is he bovered ?

[Friscoslug]

You could say rather he is a very positive guy. Perhaps his learning from his experience at Bayern is what we're seeing. Put him on the pitch and let's judge him on his performances anything else is just plain bias. And don't forget he is promotion and profiling AFC on the back of his social media savvy. So he continues to add value.

Poldi came on late, scored an important goal in an important game. I'd say that is meeting his job description and what he is paid to do.

The fact that he is not getting the opportunity to do it regularly is down to Wenger. That decision, as with many others by our manager, is baffling. Wenger should put him on the pitch and let him fail if he feels he has made a mistake in buying him.

Well that clears me of any bias on this particular subject then, as I was saying how Podolski was one of three weak links in the starting eleven around 18+months ago. The other two were Arteta and Per btw. The rest of the footballing world eventually catch up to my forward thinking . There are the ODD exceptions though.

[Red Snapper]

Will they have to replace that goalpost?? He has the hardest shot I've seen since Sammels or Jimmy Robertson.

[chunky_monkey]

that bloke can hit a ball, i'd hate to be in a wall with him taking a free kick

[ForeverRed]

Podolski was a fantastic player before he came to us. He has made a slow decline since being with us. Sad fact but true. Arshavin ring any bells?

It was a tremendous shot if it had gone straight to the Goalie he would have landed up in Row Z

Are you sure he was 'fantastic' ? If so, how did WE get him and for the price we did ? Surely there's a good chance he would've gone elsewhere and for a lot more than the money paid for him. If Wenger can use him in the right way all the time he's with us then that the best I can expect.

AA23 was a waster btw.

[I Believe Overall]

Podolski was a decent player for a long time - he's also a decent player when he plays for us I'd like to see him more often but there must be something else not right - maybe he doesn't train as well as he could? Maybe he doesn't respond well to advice about how he should play when on the pitch? Or maybe the other options available are better prepared?

We got him for that price because of the relegation clause in his contract.

Decent is a long way from fantastic, but I think you could be right one of your other suggestions. Saying that, I wasn't keen on his attitude when he was being picked regularly. Each to our own I suppose.

That's great to know. Doesn't explain why we got him ahead of the usual others if he's that fantastic though

He preferred London to Manchester.

I'm sceptical about that. RVP didn't seem to mind the shift . Are you in these blokes' pockets from day to day
