This has surely got to be a wind up? Is Wenger, the man who earns 7.5 million a year, really that cheap? :lol:
Edit - Good work NQ. Managed to fool me for a second. :(
Wayne Gooney? Must be true then. :coffee:Quote:

Well if he's an upgrade on what we have then quantity shouldn't come into it.
Right now I don't think we're even prioritising positions, we clearly have no strategy so I think it's just a case of buy whoever we can.
We're covered for central midfield and defensive midfield now. Defenders, creative players and strikers are what we need now. If Giroud picks up an injury we only have Sanago and Theo that can play there. That's very poor. If Theo gets injured or has to play upfront, who can play on the right wing? We're so light in numbers. It's patch up jobs all over the pitch. An injury to Giroud, Cazorla or Theo would put us in some serious trouble this season without quality back up players. We can't even afford to rotate them with this current squad.
Stick Gibbs on the wing, Bendtner up front, Flamini in defence.
Job done.
Sounds about right, he signed a new deal in May with a 45 million euro release clause so 38 million pounds sounds about right. Obviously the talk of 60 mill is rubbish. Schalke signing KPB is the biggest sign this deal really is done. Julian's coming homeQuote:

Yeah the KPB deal pretty much is a replacement for him, he's coming home :bow:
Also another target (?) gone

Wenger: "Chelsea's squad last season - you'd have said they'll compete for title, right? And they finished just 2pts ahead of us."
If he hadn't irritated me so much with his procrastination and agonising in the transfer market i'd say that was a great line....but he has infuriated me far too much to take amusement in what he says.Quote:

The board are greedy, weak and incompetent but for me all this has done is allowed Wenger to thrive unchallenged free to make the same mistakes over and over again.
When the transfer window closes whether we have signed or not i am going to be pacing for the next nine months hoping that he doesn't sign a new contract and just goes

Seriously, one of these fuckers on GW (or ArsenalMania) must be Wernger. :haha:

Your a manager that's all you are...it's not your job to "confront the reality of today's prices" that's for your bosses to do, a player's cost should be of no concern to you the only thing that should be of concern to you is whether you think he is good enough for the club that's it.....
Wenger admitting we're buying two of Ozil, Benzema and Di Maria. :bow:

Finally some Draxler info. Release clause of €45m was only valid until end of June. Schalke would sell for crazy money, €50m-60m
His agent also the agent of Luiz Gustavo. Not sure they see Arsenal as next logical career move. Overall odds: 20%, at best
I think Draxler is superb. But still young and learning, needs to play every week and best as no10. Not what Arsenal need , IMO, for that €€
piers morgan pretending to be an itk now?
so thats a phone hacking, lying, being a cunt of the highest order, and now pretending to be itk.
what a cunt
@honigstein is stupid fuck. Draxler is exactly at the same level Gotze, Hazard or Lamela. Wait for 1-2 more years, Schalke can easily fetch £40-50mil for him.
Oh, how on earth his release clause expired at the end of June when he just signed a new contract in Spring? Either Schalke management is stupid or Wumger is their advisor.:coffee:
What Morgan is saying is hardly a surprise it's a bit like me saying I'd rather have a rib eye steak than a burger....all of the players Spurs have signed would have come to us over them given the choice.Quote:

As re Benezema, Ozil and maybe even Di Maria, depressingly. As each day passes I wonder more and more how we managed to land Cazorla. What terrible secret did we use to blackmail him into signing?
Anyway. Next!
victor moses to liverpool on loan
That was a good price, in our territory.Quote:

I f*cking hate this guy, he seems to lack any sort of common sense of and comes out with statements like this ignoring the wider issue of the lack of transfers.Quote:

There goes that options. We could have half time competitions to see if any of the fans are decent. Maybe give them a (small) discount on their season ticket if they agree to play when we are short?Quote:

This is like some holding exercise while they wait for a non-football related event or circumstance to arrive. I don't think these guys are focused on football at all, they can't be can they?
