What happens if Robin gets injured?

Apparently Chamakh went off injured in the Reserve game, which makes this question even more interesting.

One point Robin might get injured, we all know his injury records, and he has been really pushed to the maximum in 2010.

My question is, in case it happens, what will happen to us, and how will the team set up after that? Will Theo play in centre, or will Park? Can we make up for his goal-scoring?

It's bound to happen now

I don't think there is any point thinking about such a thing.

We're on the verge of disaster and he's in the form of his life, on par with Messi and Ronaldo, in a tougher league, for a team that's struggling.

Not much more needs to be said.

I will say that Wenger's treatment of Park is irresponsible, considering we snatched him from another club at the last minute. He scored a brilliantly finished goal for us and pretty much hasn't been on the pitch since, sometimes not even on the bench.

Can we lock this please?

No offense. I just dont think we need to be thinking about this possibility right now

We'll see a lot more of Arshavin, and they'll share the non-goalscoring burden.

Robin getting hurt doesn't sound like something that will happen

free fall.

If RVP does get injured it will leave us with the worst striker options in the EPL.

In fact there will be Championship teams with better options up front than the useless Chamakh and Park, West Ham for example.

Bergkamp was right when he said we had a weak squad.

We used to pride ourself on how great our strikers were.
Wright, Henry, Bergkamp, RVP.

We are one injury away from being a laughing stock.

Hope you are kidding.

I thought one of the advantages of signing Gerv was his ability to play up front if needed? Did he for Lille?

If Robin gets injured? Simple. We miss out on EUROPA football.

@GDeepTo be fair, that's a valid option. Sometimes the change in dynamics through injury can open doors and things may fall into place...

Anyway, what the **** am I doing here?

If anything, that allows us to breathe a sigh of relief. My biggest fear was having Chamakah lead the line in the event of Robin going down, so hopefully i don't have to worry about that anymore.

If the injury is serious enough to keep him out for a few weeks, it just means that Walcott, Gervinho, Arshavin or Park will be told to step in as his replacement. Who knows, we may even alter our approach to ensure we have enough in attack to cause teams a few problems?

We'd be f**ked

Afobe is fit and scored tonight, as did Park. Both should be ahead of Chamakh anyway.

Nothing thread, just prog being a negative troll, as per.

It will give us an opportunity to show our mental strength and belief.

We are living on a prayer this season.

On reflection:

Exactly this!

Nothing new, Chamakh's injury lame excuse. The answer was always:


(yes, Mark, it's for you)

Some beautiful sarcasm is being missed in this thread.

Amazing - somehow people couldn't pick up I was joking.

Always, Mark .


T - don't worry, it was as obvious as you meant it to be.
