@ Smano....I'm actually surprised that you've never seen Carzola play. He just signed for Malaga last year when the Qatari's took over, he's been at Villareal and has featured for them since 2006 including CL matches against Man Utd.....he was the Spanish footballer of the year in 2007. He missed out on the 2010 World Cup because of injury otherwise he's a regular in the Spanish team. Actually Wenger wanteed him last season but he could not compete with the spening power of Malaga then. He's a dead-ball specialist and is very good at picking out passes, a total midfielder who can even play as a dm......he's a mixture of Arteta and Fabregas. You will see what i mean when the season starts. Nuri Sahin is next, he will be at Arsenal on a season long loan.
RVP's transfer is still far from being concluded, none of the teams interested in him are prepared to match Arsenal's valuation. Its being reported that Juventus have already agreed personal terms with the player. I think he'll probably end up in Italy, i just don't see him signing for another EPL club. I wish him the best wherever he goes, Podolski and Giroud are very good replacements.
