First, we must start off with the bad news which is that Frimpong has injured his knee and will be out for 6-9 months. It is the same knee that he injured last time and that is a real blow as he looked to a regular in the Wolves side for the rest of the season and also a fan favourite. This means he won't be back until probably September/October time and then even after that he has to regain his fitness and match sharpness. It will be interesting to see if this is just another very unlucky injury or whether now he has done it twice, that it could be something of a regular occurrence. We shall have to hope it is just a random unlucky injury that something more continually serious.
Wenger has been talking about Hazard and how much he loves him which i guess is good news as i would love to see him at Arsenal but i just can't see it happening. I think that Arshavin will go in the summer and that means we need another winger to come into the squad and Hazard would certainly fit the bill. He is on the pricey side though and potentially without Champions League football, Wenger leaving and Van Persie going in search of silverware, we might lose that same big name pull factor. It will be interesting to see if Wenger changes his tactic in the transfer market if he does stay. There is no doubt about it, that if he signed Hazard it would definitely go down well with the fan base.
The rumour of Park being denied a loan spell has been denied by his agent. To be fair, i never even heard this rumour. His agent has come out and said that if he doesn't get more playing time he will be looking to move in the summer. I think it has to be one of the most pointless signings of the summer. £2-3 million on a player that doesn't even get any remote game time. Plus i imagine he will be hard to sell anyway with his military service starting in 18 months. Who wants to buy a player to play for a year, who hasn't played in the last year. Arsenal are probably the only team who would buy that player and we already have him.
Liverpool and Spurs drew last night which was probably an alright result for us. I would have probably liked Liverpool to have won the game, purely because i think they will drop more points in the remainder of the season. We are now ahead of Liverpool in the table and 10 points behind Spurs which is still a long way to go in catching up terms but they have some tough games coming up and more injuries than i thought. As long as they have Parker though, they will always look solid and pick up points. The amount of times last night he put in a last ditch tackle was quite unbelievable.
The final point of today's post is that Dalglish still hasn't learned a thing from the Suarez situation as he once again came out last night and said he shouldn't have been banned. Words cannot describe how stupid that man is, so i am not even going to try.
