Ollie, it is a pointless transfer - and one that demonstrates that despite all the bluster, nothing has changed. We are paying upwards of £1000 a season to watch an increasing selection of utter turds wear our colours.Quote:

BUT this signing does nothing to indicate we're about to change policy and stop rumaging around in the bargain bin. We've got a squad desperately lacking in 'top top quality' and an unproven unknown player from the French second division isn't going to help us challenge for trophies. We don't need a player that could be the next Drogba in 4 years time. Also, he may be a free signing, but how much time will we have wasted scouting and setting up the deal.
The jury is still out on our summer business, but this is a very underwhelming start.
What's happened to Joe Campbell? Shouldn't he be ready to play the bench role?
It seems like there is no need to take this gamble. He could potentially be another player we can't shift. We've already got Chamakh; a complete shambles and from the moment I saw him play I knew he'd be useless. We've still got Bendy who's shit as well but is probably a better striker than all of the guys we have now, which is bloody pathetic!
If this kid is injury prone in the second division of the French league, he's gonna get his shit handed to him in the Prem. It smells like a Bischoff type of move. Wenger is doing a friend a bloody favour again. The club don't want the crock so we'll get him signed up to our healthcare program!
I'm all for signing unknown kids, our best teams were built with unknowns.
We need some genuine superstars to win anything though and we all know we're not going to get them.
Last I heard Campbell was looking to make his loan permanent, if this happens we miraculously manage to get less use out of this signing than Park! Something odd going on with our transfer policy in the last couple of years (apart from the obvious). Have we become player brokers? That is, we have no intention of ever using the players ourselves but bring them in at a low price in the hope of moving them on at a profit? Human trafficking if you like.Quote:

I can understand the risk and reward factor but it's strategy that hasn't worked out for us at all. The youth policy in general has been a disaster. Most of the players pegged for stardom are struggling to get games. Vela seems to be doing well in Spain but the rest.....
Also, Park Chu Young! We really need an explanation on that one. He looked no worse than Podolski, Giroud or Chamakh so it had to be some legal issues or personal that really stopped him from playing with us. Maybe the military service nonsense.
this is why i want wenger out.
only wenger would do this.
only wenger would take another risk in a long list of fucked up failed risks.
'hes a free so theres no risk' i hear. no, there is every risk. we complain about washing money down the drain in wages yet we make the same mistakes over and over. 'give him time he might turn into a world class player', does recent history prove that? most have been crap. we are taking yet another risk when we really cant afford to take one.
you'd think we'd learn from trudging over the line last season and (maybe) this season. we dont. we always have to do it the bloody hard way. sure this guy might turn into a superstar but it'll take at least 3 years. we dont have that time.
this was supposed to be the summer where everything was changing, where money was apparently flowing in and wenger was apparently going to open the purse strings a bit more.
well its proving to be exactly the same as the last few. he has this deep rooted fixation on finding the next henry, on taking huge risks and he just wont give in from that psychotic fixation.
get a manager in who will buy experienced, proven players. they are not expensive. they are available, no matter what professor nutty says.
this is why i want wenger out.
he's wasting wages and taking risks, wages that could be used by our next manager.
and he has the cheek to complain about why fans are getting on his back. do me a favour.
Didn't we waste a shit load of time on the Campbell deal as well
