just read a di canio interview on line and he's talking about how a lot of players in the team cannot speak good english and he is urging them to learn english ASAP. Hence why he wanted to sign a british midfielder. we can all see how a language barrier could easily cause the team the struggle to gel but i'm sure they will learn. I also think that is why cabral has been dropped, his performance against fulham was better than most and this must be the reason. this will perhaps also be why larson is always selected and even players such as vaughan and gardener. This would mean that ki and cabral is not going to happen any time soon as some people see them as our best central midfield partnership. I think when dossena becomes fit it could even be possible to see colback in central midfield (not what I would want)

If Ki hasn't learned any English yet because he's played in Scotland and England, that's a sign of a poor player, very unprofessional
But I'm sure he does know plenty

Ki probably speaks English, and Cabral was dropped until he learns English?

does anyone want to share there thoughts on the team selection for tomorrows game? I m thinking

westwood
celutska
colback
diakite
roberge/wish brown was back though
johnson
giaccherini
ki
cabral/gardner
fletch
borini

Not a bad shout old boy but what about Jozy holding the ball up for Fletch?

Bendtner to start for Arsenal?

Westwood
Celustka
Diakite
Roberge
Colback
Ki
Cabral/Cattermole
Johnson
Giaccherini
Altidore play bit deeper to help the mid
Fletcher

I think Catts has to play
We need a big, tough lad who will rough Cazorla and Ozil up, a leader
