Frustrated striker ommittted from Arsenal squad
Arsene Wenger has announced the squad of 18 players who will be eligible to play a part in today’s Champions League first-leg of the knock round tie against AC Milan.
The team arrived in Italy earlier to begin preparations for the showdown at the San Siro, but the biggest observation was the exclusion of striker Park-Chu Young.
The Korean man is still waiting for a first Premier League start since arriving in the summer, and to add to that, Park has been limited to bench warming during big occasions this season.

There has been no reports of any injury sustained by the 26-year-old which would mean his ommission, but Park has been kept in the same category as Marouane Chamakh and Gervinho – who are been rested after returning from Africa Cup of Nations duty – nonetheless.
A fit-again Kierran Gibbs is included in the squad and so Francis Coquelin who could be chosen at left-back.
Goalkeepers:
Wojciech Szczesny, Lukasz Fabianski.
Defence:
Laurent Koscielny, Francis Coquelin, Thomas Vermaelen, Johan Djourou Kieran Gibbs, Bacary Sagna.
Midfield:
Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, Alex Song, Mikel Arteta, Yossi Benayoun.
Forward:
Robin van Persie, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Thierry Henry, Theo Walcott, Andrey Arshavin.

arsenal ist the best love love
Poor Park. Anyone else feel sorry for him?
I feel for Park, in my eyes, he is as good a player as Arshavin, Schamac and Theo, if not better. Wenger shows more confidence on Djourou or Schellachi but refused to give Park a chance to prove himself. The player is a top class and could effectively sub RVP. He could have enjoyed playing for lille if it was not for Wenger’s greedy signing.
i wish arsenal best outing against ac milan 2day.best of luck.my team.
Signed for pure marketing purposes! ” Bloody disgrace ” surely we could be doing with a player who wold actually contribute something to the season! more money wasted just like diaby, squillaci, almunia… All contribute nothing to the arsenal cause… Yet wenger deems it ok to waste valuable resources on them… Terrible management!!
+1.
Park will help sell some official kits and merchandise in S Korea this summer.
That makes it all ok then,,
I heard the owner of red london is sexy…?
i thought his goal in the carling cup was really good…..really wanna see him play…coz like chamakh he works a lot but looks like he can contribute goals as well….i think when we are secure in 4th position then we might see him come onto the scene…Till then i think he’s not gonna be used !!!!!
Save him and Chamakh for Sunderland in the FA Cup. Hey, if Fergie can abuse Berbatov and still get 10-20 goals a year from him (for 30 million transfer fee) then let’s see what AW can get out of Park over the course of his contract.
I just feel sorry for that korean chap… He may be a bench warmer till he leaves the club…
Park is being ‘ park ‘ by Wenger …sorry for him .
Wenger should let Park go to another team so he could play the game he loves. I would like to see him play against Arsenal, so he could show Wenger what he missed.
you guys know what?
when the fucking arsenals come to Korea, they will die. everyone in Korea suports Park so no one will buy arsenal kits. Wenger sucks Arsenal Sucks
You suck, twat
This episode about Park makes Arsene Wenger the foolish one, not Park. I’d understand if he were to bench walcott, denilson, chamakh, djourou, and definitely squillaci..but Park?,..has not even been given a run of games. If this is supposed to be a marketing exercise, I think it’s totally negative. Park is the national team’s captain and that’s a huge thing.
when do arsen wenger is eligible to learn???????? I have really a question that were not answered.I really need an answer….??????????Please buy buy buy buy…..unless leave out,,,,out …out,,,,my heart was broken…wow what an amazing day at sansero??? I believe that AC milan where not good,,,but poor performance of arsenal let them dominate the game….any I really answer from wenger……???????????????????
For me Ramsey needs to be more often and Park should be given mor chance
