Yeah and Wellbeck could barely score a goal, Man U only sell us the duds, not the players who could turn out to be good.

Not exactly been that prolific themselves goal scoring wise, I think selling a striker who was a local lad and having hardly any goals in them earnt their ire

17 goals in 49 games is OK, I guess he's only 20 which is obviously a plus point, but I'm not a big fan, Man U won't sell him to us anyway, they only let us have sh*t like Silvestre for a laugh.

:rolleyes:he's 20 years old, giroud does a job but is aging...Martial has better potential than anything we currently have in our ranks. Already had a year in the Prem also! He'll be better than Zlatan if given the opportunity. Plus it would be funny if we bought him from Maureen. Class from Maureen taking his shirt number and giving it to God. That would p me off slightly too ;)

It's not people about disagreeing. It's good to disagree, discussion is based on disagreement. But lazy straw man arguments, endless goalpost shifting, saying that anything which doesn't slag Wenger off is 'sucking his cock', WUMming, those things are what ruin threads and, when overdone as is now happening, ruin the whole message board.

No, it really isn't. Wenger needs to go but that doesn't mean everything he does or says is idiotic. The deeply personal nature of abuse about everything he says or does from some on here is utterly ridiculous. Why does it bother me? Is it because I like sucking his cock? :rolleyes:. No, it's just tiresome and boring and pointless.

No, judge THE TRANSFER WINDOW at the end. Judge Wenger when you like.

You've just done precisely what you are accusing others of doing. Chopping paragraphs so you can create a context that wasn't there and then knock it down. That just demonstrates the two-way nature of the thing, if it's even that. I don't see anti-Wenger posters going around saying they aren't moaning. Plainly there are. But I do see a few rather smug characters who claim to be so reasonable, so balanced, when in fact they aren't anything of the sort. The silliness here isn't coming from people posting anti-Wenger messages, it's coming from those who throw toys when the herd mentality is disrupted. Posters have been banned for it. "WUM" posters, apparently. Yet the "reasonable" crowd, i.e. the pro-Wenger but won't admit it publicly crowd (and you can tell this by the way they dive in with the sarcasm every time Wenger is criticised) are not "WUM" posters. I'm not bothered by that, fuck it,who cares? But what's really tiring is the parties most guilty moaning on about people who are only half as good as themselves at being wind up merchants.

The funniest ones are those who play, lose and then sulk for all eternity. That's a constant source of amusement. I suppose they have found a ledge in the sewer, the higher ground so to speak. That's not you, btw.

Ibra is already working his magic. Ibra and Maureen. That's going to be the main event this season I'm betting.

Welbeck scored some v important goals and lifted us when he came by from injury at the end of last season. Best player on the pitch. Always Closes the space, works hard, CAN finish unlike some. Just needs to stay fit. Story of Arsenal really...players' fitness. Bargain if he can get fit this season.

I'm not a fan based on what I've seen, but don't waste your time thinking about this as this will not happen in a month of Sundays, Man U have enough money that they don't need to sell, they won't sell to us and the asking price would be too high anyway.

Pipedream signing, but one I wouldn't want anyway.

I think his finishing is average at best, despite the handful of goals last season, he's never going to score the goals we need, never did for Man U either that's why they sold him.

We can rely on players like him or we can go out and sign players who will score goals, I know which option I prefer.

Realy garbage but would take Martial in a heartbeat.

Welbeck is an OK player. Just that, nothing more. But he looks good by comparison to some of the players we have here.
