Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

We have agreed terms with Higuain according to the daily star. A better goals corer than Giroud obviously but he does miss his fair share (arguably cost Argentina the world cup 2014, and the last 2 Copas).

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)

Draxler is a better bet I think. Because we have signed Xhaka it is painfully obvious how Wenger intends to set the team out. So we'll need talented, potentially multi-purpose players in as many positions as possible to counteract the shit drivel that Wenger calls football, and actually rescue some football out of the mess. Draxler has plenty to his game and also has the potential to develop into a world class striker. And the Wenger could claim he converted him and get all the plaudits and keep his myth rolling on for a while longer, so it could work. Meanwhile we'd get a decent player who could make things happen on the pitch. And he'd be decent cover for others when they get injured for a whole season during pre-season. If Draxler's fee is £1 then I think we should go all guns for him.

Only 66.7 million apparently, not going to happen in a month of Sundays, we'll never pay that.

Also says we were trying to include Giroud in the deal but Napoli weren't interested, again now way Wenger would offer Giroud up.

I'm on the fence with Draxler, on the one hand he looks very talented, but on the other hand he isn't a striker so once again we'll be trying to put square pegs in round holes.

I'd love Draxler, but to play as a wide forward. We need a striker as well. Higuin is just a lazy attempt by the media to churn up an old rumour again.

RvC wasn't a striker either, until he became one of the best in the business. And I see a lot of similarities, excluding the cuntishness hopefully.

What about Milik from Ajax, although he's a Man Utd fan apparently ?

Did you see him play during the Euros?

Then again, he'll probably fit right in.

Really hope Janseen flops though I've got a worrying feeling he's going to be the new RVN.

I agree regarding Higuain, will never happen. I don't think we'll go for Lacazette either, Wenger won't pay upwards of 40million for him especially as his stock is really low at the moment.

I doubt we'll sign Draxler, he went for a reasonable fee last summer, 25mill...that was our chance to secure him. Wolfsburg will demand huge money for him now so that basically rules us out.
