Hot Pie :bow:
Not one player signed and its almost the end of June.
Again, we will buy players at the last moment and Wenger will say "It takes at least 6-12 months for a player to bed in". Pre-season will be with Sanogo and Campbell up front. Same shit every freaking year!
Ivanovic is a fantastic player and can play anywhere at the back so I'm not sure why anyone would not want him, but it's never going to happen.
I don't actually think Lescott would expect to be 4th choice (no matter what we think about where he should be) and I'm not sure many players really do. They see their chance to progress and surely all he wants is a fair chance to stake a claim on merit rather than just be forgotten about at the back of a long queue as a matter of course.
It's either that or completely forgetting about playing football at the top level.
I'm all for budding and promising young CB's being 4th choice.....but when we have them we often loan them out which is precisely why Miquel is nowhere to be seen. Also it is very difficult to tell how good they actually are....and the young CB's the world over with the highest repute would come for a significant fee which does not equate to being 4th choice (or something that Wenger will really entertain either)......so it isn't as easy a position to fill as it seems with promising young CB's. I'm not against it but I do think a player like Lescott shouldn't automatically be discounted.....he did play for a title winning team regularly once upon a time, however artificially manufactured.
I thought Eliaquim Mangala would be a good shout until Emirates Gooner told me his price tag is similar to Balotelli's and I have confined the thought to my minds 101 room ever since. That goes some way to showing the issue though....
No, last day of the season until end of August
Looking more and more like Campbell is a must keep™
