and I would say Wenger has a terrible record of buying defenders anyway so who cares

If he'd already signed two players to be considered of a very high standard after winning the title and getting to the CL final, I suspect you'd be wrong.

If that keeper was De Gea who is awesome then no they wouldnt.

And the only reason he hasnt played for Spain already is cos he has Casillas and Reina ahead of him and those 2 are as good as it gets.

De Gea is better than all of our keepers and every English keeper

Manyoo about to spend another 17mil on De gayer

For a whole bunch of people on here, SAF farts smell like roses and the sun shines out of his arse and are totally unwilling to accept that one of his signings might flop. No better than the AKB brigade tbh.

You think hes awesome because SAF is signing him. If we where signing him you'd be bitching about how youth keepers couldnt organise the defende, foreign keepers couldn't deal with long balls, long throws and Stoke-thugball

The bottomline is SAF is pragmatic and doesn't wait for anybody, he makes moves and is aggressive in the market. He identifies a problem in his team and he fixes, no pussying around. I know I wish Arsene was a lot more pragmatic like him.

He's had a few stinkers in the transfer market just like every other manager. But in general, his core signings have led to winning things.
