On Tuesday, Milan beat Arsenal 4-3 on aggregate in the Round of 16 of the Champions League.
On Thursday morning we read that Podolski will sign from Cologne.
The striker-winger is 26 and will be on £100,000 a week.
His pal Mertesacker has told him it’s an amazing club and a great place to work.
Lukas Podolski is a proper player, like Vermaelen, like Wilshere and Oxlade.
He’s fast and a lethal finisher and he’ll do what Walcott and Gervinho pretend to do.
If you insist on playing 4-3-3, and I wouldn’t, he’ll give you firepower.
In a month Podolski will score more goals that Park and Chamakh have scored in a season.
Podolski will deliver. I’m sure of that.
But Arsenal have £100m+ in the bank.
Why didn’t Wenger sign him last summer?
Because he wouldn’t spend the money to give himself the tools to do the job that season-ticket holders expect him to do.
