NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
If scoring 44 goals in 44 games (including 13 in the CL) in their last season means someone is washed up, then I wouldn't mind us signing a few washed up players!
He’s got nothing to prove so I think it would be a good move for him really, wind down his career while picking up an easy title or 2. Real Madrid need the cash if they go after Neymar or Mbappe.
Disappointed it seems like we won't get Banega.
Sounds as if we're in for 2 midfielders though which is a positive
Club clearly think we're light in midfield so will probably bring in Torreira + another.
He's 30 years of age, we've already brought 2 30+ players in, in reality we want some younger guys now otherwise our squad will be ageing in no time, so I'm not too disappointed personally.
Age is not on his side I grant you..... but I am in a minority in thinking that we needn't have bothered with the Swiss captain. I think though AMN's best position may not be full back he is more than capable of giving Hector a run for his money there now and was last season had Wenger had been more willing to play him.
Sokratis.... is a welcome addition, but as a slow CB of some considerable age he is no better a fit than Banega. Given that we have lost Santi and Wilshere, I cannot stand Xhaka and Ramsey is STILL yet to sign (though he is no creative nucleus anyway) I'd have liked to see Banega come in. Of all the players we've bought or been linked to he is the one I've been most impressed by this world cup.
He has the passing range of Xhaka, the eye of a needle through ball ability of Santi and is perhaps not quite as mobile as Santi but 3 times as mobile as Xhaka. He would have been a very healthy addition indeed.
Banega is an animal. You don't say no to him.
It's a moot point as Banega isn't happening anyway.
I do agree with what you're saying, the point for me is we have signed older players now, on top of those we already have (Auba and Mhkiti and Ozil are no spring chickens either in football terms and Koscielny and Cech are getting on as well), the more we add the more costly/problematic it will be a few years down the line when we need to find replacements.
