talk of us buying an Argentinian 16 year old, likely to be true?
Whether we like it or not, a player's market rate is dictated by just that...... the market, not some moralistic view of what they should or shouldn't be earning. That goes for whether they are earning 5k, 50k or 150k a week.
I don't see why Theo or Sterling want to move or why all things considered, or why we would want to sell and for that reason I'll be a bit bitter if we lose Theo. I maintain he is an extremely unique player and a very productive one. I also don't really feel they really owe their clubs anything necessarily. If (and it is a huge IF) either of them can get better wages at a club they have more chance of wining things at whilst playing a significant role, I expect them to reasonably consider those offers, privately if via nothing else.
That's the nature of the beast really.
Only if they can tweak his birth certificate to say he's 12, homegrown :cloud9: :rolleyes:Quote:

Reus as marquee signing, Cabaye, plus another central defender.. would be nice.
Can anyone see Reus realistically? Didn't he just sign a new contract a few months back?Quote:

Cabaye/Schneiderlin as a squad option would be good, but I'm not too sure if they would be happy as just that; a squad option.
Well I didn't think Ozil or Alexis were realistic either, so you never know.Quote:

Most likely Schniderlin or a Kramer/Bender. And if I had my way I'd also go big in for Lloris, no matter how unrealistic that situation looks on paper.Quote:

Mind you, I wouldn't mind an upcoming promising young striker to add depth as well because Giroud isn't getting any younger, though with Wenger's "weird obsession" with Sanogo and with Akpom apparently highly rated among the coaching staff, it probably won't happen. I'd wet my pants if we got in a Vietto, Lacazette or Dyabala.
Reus also isn't happening no matter how we want it. He's basically already signed his Marketing contract.
