Great. So now we judge the guy before he has even signed.

Is 15 goals in a 38 game french season really worth getting excited about?
----------------------------------
18 goals and 10 assists in 43 games, from the wing, isn't exactly shabby.

Yes because he's a winger.

He also got a lot of assists as well which we should be excited about.

Also, you can't argue with the forehead, some say if you look directly at his polished forehead and see your reflection, you turn into stone.

15 goals and 10 assists in the league is fantastic. He is going to be a hit at Arsenal just watch.

I'm glad he's signing - over the moon in fact

but people are seeing him as our saviour!! lets hope wenger has a trick under his sleeve

I'm happy he's coming

I see the lad as the new Samuel Eto'o!

Anyone want to bet on what time he'll be officially announced on the Arsenal website?

Based on whats happened during this whole saga I guess a couple of weeks would be a good bet.

He's direct. He's a physical lad, strong as an Ox! He'd definitely offer a different alternative to the resf of our dimunitive offensive players.

He actually had a very good season in France last campaign, that can't be disputed.

But as always, he's a "gamble" to a degree... He could be a revelation, or he could flatter to deceive. We'll have to see, which is what drives (some) fans a bit crazy. It's not like we're signing a guy who's a sure fire superstar...

But, if you don't buy a ticket, you don't win the lotto!

alot of people have said he's been more consistent than hazard and is more likely to have an instant impact in britain due to his size and physical abilities

A lot of journos in France have said exactly that. Hazard is a Rolls Royce of a player! Personally I really rate him, although those in the know allegedly think Wenger believes Hazard may be too "tender" for the Prem at this stage of his development.

Gervinho is a physical specimen and allegedly he's pretty "girthy" if you catch my drift?

Is it true that Gervinho struggles when playing deep in the hole?

======

Not at all GERVINHO does not struggle, he's a hunk of throbbing gristle!

Whoever is tryna plug that hole, I dunno, Rio Ferdinand (for example) will be left writhing in agony, like a fly with its wings torn off after Gervinho has penetrated his aging and well worn "backline"...

Do you think of Gervinho's girth as you gobble your chocolate treat?

==========

Yes, and Chris Eubank.

I love all this double entendre stuff, but what's the stance of the JA606 mods on this? Are they rigid? I posted stuff like this on 606 and it got pulled off. I think the mods got too excited by it and it came off quickly. Do you think the same will happen with JA606? It'd be a pity as there is nothing wrong with mucking around as long as you hurt no one.

In fact Gervinho is so good that Henry will be called the Old Gervinho.
