Miroslav Klose

[Arsenal_FAN1983]

We are not signing Klose. Arsène wont change to 4-3-3, and Klose just isnt good enough for us imo.

Henry, Robin, Ade, Bendtner, Walcott

Those are our strikers for next season.

God forbid if Henry and RVP are injured where would the goals come from?

Bendtner is still unproven in the Premiership while Walcott still has some way to go before he turns into a serious goal threat.

Not exactly conclusive but it is looking more likely that he will be staying at Werder.

After seeing that horrendous dive by him last night, I never want to see the guy in an Arsenal shirt. He arsed up his team's chances completely. Don't think he'd fit in with us anyway.

he had no choice. he had to be either hero or zero. if the ref didnt spot that and gave a penalty, he will be a hero. he needed 4 goals to go into a major final and he was desperate. understandable considering it was his first dive.

 

[Bergy_1995]

No, he did have a choice. If he stayed on the pitch he'd have helped his team greatly, instead he chose to be selfish and try to cheat the referee into giving a penalty. Very unprofessional. He wouldn't have been a hero if he'd have won the penalty, not to me anyway, it was a clear dive. Poor.

 

[I love Pascal Cygan.]

Germany striker Miroslav Klose has confirmed he is joining Bayern Munich.

The 28-year-old, who has been linked to a string of Barclays Premiership clubs, revealed his decision after Germany's 2-1 win over Slovakia on Wednesday night.

The only uncertainty, however, remains when he will actually make the switch, since he still has a year left on his contract with Werder Bremen.

"The fact is I have decided to play for FC Bayern in 2008," he said.

"I would prefer for it to happen as quickly as possible and to have everything clear, but if I have to stay one more year in Bremen, then I will still give everything to Werder.

"I would be delighted if I were able to play for Bayern this year."

Bloody hell.

Toni, Ribery, Klose... Bayern are going to walk the Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup next season...

...then they'll be big contenders for the CL in 08/09.

Definitely not Arsène-like signing, BUT! he did admit he was regretful he didn't take Henrik Larsson when he signed to Manure several years back, and he did get Henry

His age is definitely an issue but Klose has never been reliant on pace, or even strength.
His positioning and finishing are always excellent
His injury for 2012-2013 are quite alot though, and this is not good.
His goals and assists for Lazio is awesome for veteran player though (62 matches 30 goals and 12 assists)

I rate him better than Bendtner and should make a useful player for rotation

Legend, would be great to have around the club and more than good enough as a backup.

Would be great to see Klose and Podolski together again.

With our German contingent it's not as far-fetched as it may seem, but I'm convinced it won't happen.

Oh and btw of course he's better than Bendtner.

Was gonna write better than Giroud last season but that might fume unneeded debate, so I just go with the safer option lol
