LOL. Some Arsenal fans are just ridiculous. Don't they know it's impossible to sign players, if you exclude Utd, Chelsea, City, Pool and even THFC FFS!? Other than our main competitors, the clubs we claim we are competing against, nobody is able to sign top players. It's high time Arsenal fans got a bit more realistic and toned their ambitions down to match the board's and the manager's expectations. What we need is complacency and resignation (not in terms of employment of course, I mean we need to embrace being second best as a club culture). All this talk of signing quality needs to stop. If we just keep on doing what we have been doing over the last 6 years things will come good. You've heard the old saying, it is a sign of insanity not to keep repeating the mistakes of the past. We must remember, we are the club where Bergkamp, Henry and Pires plied their trade - it's just silly and fanciful to expect better signings than Koscielny, Squillaci and Chamakh. What we need to do is sacrifice as many seasons as is required to allow these currently mediocre yet soon to be immensely talented players to acclimatise. That's the smart move which has been in the process of working for us over the past six years. It may look like the entire project has been a catastrophic failure that has yielded precisely none of the promised benefits of either the stadium move or the youth policy. But we need to give it an open-ended period of time to succeed, we are building a team for the future. Never forget that. In that bright future, bargain basement journeymen and overpaid, over-hyped mediocre players will be the key to domestic and European domination. Wait and see. Everyone needs to shut up, hold their nerve and keep drinking the WengerAde. It's on!

Good to see you've come around at last. Go see vpgreg for the official welcome pack :good:

In all seriousness, another signing similar to Koscielny would be welcome, different type of CB but same level of performance would be awesome.

Same level of performance?

As Koscielny?

Are you sure?

Do we really need another average CB who makes mistakes every other game?
