Just wanted to wish everyone (not just Arsenal fans) a Happy New Year! All the best for 2008.
As for the Arsenal fans... well, it's a happy start to the new year.
Arseblog have said that Carlos Vela is in London with the club (the source they've got is 99% legitimate), and it's quite likely that he's going to play the rest of the season, although some are speculating that he's just going to train with the team over the winter break (this would be odd though). Notably, Vela qualifies for his Spanish passport this January, and everyone of course will have noticed the lack of punch in this Arsenal squad when the injuries have been present. At times we've been short a winger, and at other times we've been short a striker, and he can play all across the wings and forward line.
And of course Wenger announced earlier that Johan Djourou would be coming back from Birmingham, so that's two new good quality signings, in addition to Robin Van Persie's return from injury (which Arsene has said "will be like a new signing").
All this in addition to use beating West Ham 1-0 at home in a very convincing performance to maintain our 2 point lead at the top of the table.
Good luck for the rest of the season!
