Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

I think we'll buy if a serious upgrade becomes available. So far, those mentioned don't really fit the bill.

Happy to see how things pan out and pass judgement when the time is right.

No we are not in a desperate position, just disappointing that once again we are two players away from a serious sustainable title challenge.
We need a better striker than Giroud and another defensive midfielder (not a basque tortoise)

When there is a dry well for the last week or so, it kind of makes you think the shop is closed.

I'm not sure that is really true, thinking in particular of 2013 here - we were linked to so many players yet we only actually bought one in the entire summer. And that in the dying hours!

And you say 90% nonsense 10% truth - how do you look to settle on what 10% are correct when you have the 90% bollocks to wade through?

I think your ratonale for shop closed is a bit presumptious - the window has only officially been open to register players for 7 days and that's enough to think we're done seemingly; I think that's way too big a leap to make this early on.

Yeah but what about when you were linked with Miln... fair enough.

Cabaye to Crystal Palace.

But we're being linked with players. Papers are saying we've made a £43m bid for Higauin. We're also being linked with Pedro. Talks of us bidding £17m for Benzema. Gotze even. It's bullshit but I don't know why you think things are quiet. Just last week it was all talk of Vidal.

The face of a man whose just gon snared himself a biggie. Gotze.cx IMO.

Arteta is a player we already have so him signing a new deal doesn't mean we won't sign a midfielder though I think it unlikely.

I was kinda hoping we might be genuinely interested in Dybala before Juve signed him, but at this stage, Lacazette or a wild card like Draxler to be converted would be interesting.

He was out of contract this summer, so had the option of removing him and freeing up squad space for a better player
