Arsenal ponder surprise move for Juventus veteran Luca Toni
Arsenal are being linked with a surprise move for Juventus veteran Luca Toni.

This is an outstanding share. Thank you for this article.
We dont need him, we have chamackh, park and bendtner on loan, so we dont need another striker and at 34 hes way passed his prime.
Arsenal players r prone 2 injuries n u cant tell wat hapns 2moro. Toni is a gud player n bsides any gud striker cn fit-in, in any league. If we can gt him lets do dat. Wat he nids is a gud club dats all.
