Did you momentarily forget who our manager is?Quote:

There is no one available
:doh:
Wenger wanted two players. Xhaka, because he's the ultimate tippy tappy player, Vardy because he could do a job and the fee was low. He got one, the other one snubbed him because Wenger and Arsenal have been sussed by the top players. Wenger will see a 50% hit rate as success, and on top of that he got a player he has been chasing for a while. So he'll probably be delighted and perplexed at why the fans aren't doing cartwheels. He'll take us into another season with Bif, Walnut and an Alexis who is feeling out every nook and cranny for an escape hatch. Oh and Welbeck who is injured forever. And we have restocked on Far Eastern nobodies too. So all is good. I can't see how the sheer amount of quality we already have can be bettered.
I also think it's worth the risk going into the season with that barge Mertsesacker and Gabriel who didn't take his chance when it was handed to him on a plate. After all, we have Chambers, who Wenger has already destroyed, and other players can be crammed into that role if need be. Can't see what more we need in that department.
Might be worth hunting around for a few more lightweight, midget attacking midfielders though. We are a bit short in that area.
Oh well, as there's no hope of Wenger ever committing the 70 odd million for Higuain it's got to be Lacazette or nothing.
Really hope Janseen flops though I've got a worrying feeling he's going to be the new RVN.
He does look like a bit of cunt tbf, especiialy in that new shirt he'll be wearing.Quote:

He seems to be want to be the one who discovers the player, it's an ego thing I think.
So really as mentioned there's just Lacazette left, who we're allegedly not interested in anyway (logical as he'd cost a lot) well their might be others but our scouts are about as useful as a wooden spoon when you need to chop a tree down so that's unlikely.
Sapogo, Quiff and Walnutt it is then oh and Bambi whenever he returns (probably sometime in 2018 for 3 games before he's injured again)
We can cross him off the list.Quote:
