Toure suffering from Malaria

Arsenal's summer woes have been compounded by the news that Kolo Toure has been diagnosed with malaria.

It's thought that the defender contracted the disease while on holiday in his native Ivory Coast. After flying out for Arsenal's pre-season tour of Austria and Hungary, the 27-year-old was sent to hospital in Vienna where malaria was diagnosed.

Although an Arsenal spokesperson described Toure as "being in good spirits", it seems unlikely he will be fit for the start of the new season. That leaves Arsene Wenger with only Johan Djourou or Philippe Senderos as potential partners for William Gallas after he decided against recruiting any new defenders this summer.

:( Senderos potentially starting the season in defence.
 
Now we just need Senderos to go down, and PSG to come in with an offer for Gallas and then I will be happy. Then he will be forced to buy a replacement as cover.

I wish Wenger could get rid of Johan Djourou, Philippe Senderos, Eboue, Adebayor and William Gallas.

I am not fond at all of any of those players. Footie Manager 2008 here I come.
 
yeah, agreed... except i think senderos and gallas should stay... the rest of the names mentioned should be out
 
senderos and gallas

both for the door.

I am tired of Gallas and all of his emo stuff, you are the captain for goodness sake.
I am surprised he has kept his trap shut, normally he would have been wining about our current transfer activity and the player exodus.

Senderos, is beginning to give old "horse" aka Oleg Luzhny a run for his money or even good ol Pascal Cygan. Wengers teams will never be complete without one of these type of weirdos in defence for Wenger it seems.

Get rid of both, out with the old and in with something else.
 
I rate Senderos. He had a few bad seasons, but last season he wasn't terrible. Even scored a few goals. For a reserve central defender, he is fine in my opinion. Gallas really needs to keep his head, which he seems to lose way too often. Especially as our captain! Should he be captain.. I am not sure, but then again, who else is there?

Song and Djourou should really be sold in my opinion. With Toure having malaria and all, they'll at least be warming the bench come August. That is quite worrying.

I wouldn't right Arsenal off. I remember this time last year, on Sky News, some old Man U fewl was saying that Arsenal had zero chance of winning anything that season. Sure we didn't win anything but we could've quite easily won a whole lot if it wasn't for some torrid luck and an injury bonanza.

And to Flamini and Hleb, goodbye, nice knowing you. Funny how when players leave Arsenal they dip into a bad run of form. *holds thumbs*
 
I agree, Senderos was great when Kolo was at the african cup, he had 1 bad game against liverpool and everyone wants him out
