Just out of interest why don't you want Berbatov?

If I was Arsène Wenger I'd go after Wilfried Bony.

Just out of interest why don't you want Berbatov?

I pretty much agree with what VP says, we need to wrap up the Remy deal as I think he'd suit Arsenal to the floor.

Why? He's not that good (Yet)

No way.

Jack Wilshere believes that Theo Walcott has made himself "an Arsenal legend" for his gesture towards Tottenham fans during Saturday's FA Cup third-round victory.

While Walcott was being stretchered off with a knee injury, the England international held up a hand signal which reflected the 2-0 scoreline towards the away supporters inside the Emirates Stadium.

A goal in each half from Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky secured Arsenal's passage to the fourth round of the competition, where they will Coventry City on home soil.

"He'll be an Arsenal legend now," Wilshere told reporters. "They love Theo already and this is only going to help him.

"[The Tottenham supporters] were giving it to him and he's given a little bit back. I think people have got to look at it as banter."

Wilshere, who was recently banned for two matches after he made an offensive gesture aimed at Manchester City fans, added: "He's a bit smarter than me, I suppose."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he looked into the possibility of signing Robert Lewandowski before Bayern Munich confirmed the impending acquisition of the Borussia Dortmund striker.

The Poland international, who has scored 15 goals for BVB this term, will join the German champions on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Despite the arrival of Lewandowski to the Allianz Arena in the summer, Wenger claims that Bayern will not be willing to sell Mario Mandzukic during the January transfer window but hinted that the Croatian's situation could change.

"We looked into it but, honestly, [Lewandowski] signed one-and-a-half years ago," the Gunners boss told reporters.

"Lewandowski is at Dortmund until the end of the season and Bayern will not sell Mandzukic now. Maybe at the end of the season."

"All the big players are at big clubs at the moment and they go for important targets," the Frenchman added.

"Unless you have a club in a desperate financial situation, it will be difficult - or if we find someone like [Serge] Gnabry at that age when no-one knows them."

He's out for at least 6 months. Looks more likely to be around 8-9 months. At least he had the decency to get injured at the start of the transfer window I suppose
