Arsenal boss Wenger: Rosicky our new Pires

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Tomas Rosicky is the 'new Robert Pires' for the Gunners.

"Rosicky is more of a Pires-type and Hleb is more for me a guy who attracts people to the ball, and then slides it through," reflected the Arsenal manager, his side now unbeaten in 11 games.

"Alex looks like he always slows the game down to speed it up again. He is more of a dribbler and a passer, whereas Tomas is more of the guy who is in the flow of the game, a little bit similar to Pires."
