Djourou hit for six... months

Confirmed today Arsenal Defender Johan Djourou has been ruled out for six months to undergo corrective knee surgery.

The Swiss was hoping to help his side to world cup qualification but has decide the better off it and opted on medical advice to have the surgery.

Is it safe to say this could rule him out for the season? 6 months and a few to regain fitness i can't really see us seeing the Johan for the rest of the season.

Once again we have found ourselves only a few games in and lacking depth, It is obvious Vermaelen and Gallas will be the choice pairing in the defence this year but Johan was a man we could confidently fall back. Now we have Senderos the man who desperately wanted to leave and has never given over a subpar performance and then we have old man Silvest who with his better days behind him is prone to old stuff up here and there.
Perhaps we should look at someone like Australian and former West Ham Skipper Lucas Neil? who has decent pedigree could provide a little bit of height and would come as a free being out of contract. I don't know but with the likes of Nasri and Rosicky already crooked could the injury curse strike again? has it already?

So what is your opinion? should we worry, do we lack depth? Neil? Or Don't worry about it we will be fine? you tell me...
