Gervinho request

Good evening lads.

As you all know this season has been unpredictable in terms of specifying who will finish in which position. We seem to be attracting players from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, which is good. The likes of Gervinho, Lukaku, Kakuta and many others.

I suppose if previous racist incidents continue to occur, we will not able to attract foreign players. We as fans have to pay to watch and see our teams play, none of us would be happy to watch incapable players every weekend. We all would like qualities players entertaining us and ensuring our teams succeed. We shouldn't have to tolerate minorities making racist remarks. It's 2011 for goodness sake. In order to get rid rid of racism we should express our feelings by starting off with taking NO RACISM banners into games.

At the moment, we have to bribe them with wages in the region of £40,000, and even more. I'm not in favour of our current wage structure, some our players don't even deserve the amount they're receiving but it's what we're having to face at the moment.

There's been a few reports suggesting the money invested in the Iraq war is enough to feed countries like Somalia - that's a disgrace to be honest. We're meant to be setting examples and urging other countries to participate. I do apologise for drifting off-topic.

Wonder-man Gervinho wants Arsenal to spend big by securing the signing of Hazard. In my opinion he would roughly cost £40 million, I just couldn't envisage Arsenal splashing out that amount of money.

First of all, it would affect your wage structure, and most importantly would be vastly disrespectful towards the current players. I have this instinct that you guys will be signing him seeing as Gervinho played alongside him at Lille. That'll surely be advantage, he's just a quality young player with many years ahead of him. Oh, I forgot to mention that he recently said he would like to play abroad. That's enough for a Premier League team to make a move for him.

Do you guys think he'll sign for you next year or will we outbid you? No-one will be able to sign him without facing competition from the likes of Chelsea, us (Man City) and PSG.

Gav, people give money in good faith but the little aid that trickles through after beaurocracy is taken by Al Shabaab who either keep it for themselves or sell it to the starving people who still have money.

Haven't got a penny out of me and never will. They kill British journalists and aid workers and kidnap innocent tourists.

Opposed to invading a Country, overthrowing the government, killing innocent people, taking all the natural resources and then leaving when its no longer beneficial. Somalians are trying to survive were trying to rule.

Boris,

Spot on there. I won't be going into depth, but Al-Shabaab were witnessed handing out food and water to starving families in camps they use to run.

On other hand, I also read reports stating something similar to what you've posted above. None of us are in Somali so we do not know what's going on there. Everything we read and hear are all reports, not always accurate.

8bithero,

The Sheikhs will take over in the near future. They will invest in everything!

P.S. Thanks for the complement

You only get to learn the truth when journalists can move freely in these places and that's not going to happen anytime soon in Somalia.

Boris,

Rageh Omaar will be reporting from Somalia as soon as the temporary government retrieve control of areas which Al-Shabaab are controlling at the moment.

As for foreign journalists, I doubt they'd be able to report from Somalia any time soon - it's just too dangerous to be honest.
