Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

For squad depth I think we need another (at least Giroud level) CF. I'd go for the tactic that won Man Utd title after title and pay slightly over the odds for a good player that is used to the English league.

Bony, Benteke or Remy aren't really any better than Giroud but they offer something different. Benteke though has injury concerns, and it would take around £20-25m to even get Swansea to think about selling Bony. Remy is easily attainable and that's probably who we will go for. I don't mind him but he can have very frustrating games.

Remy would also still keep his resale value aswell.

Apparently he has a £8m clause, if he doesn't do too well we can recoup atleast £6m back

Remy would be a great sigining! If we got Sanchez and Remy, and sent Sanogo out on loan I would be incredibly happy.

Footballers are quite dim.

Villa holding talks with Bendtner. :lol:

Rors. :rose:

Remy would be a decent signing, he's good player with a point to prove. He has more goals in him than Giroud and has that killer instinct you need from your main striker. He's not the worldie we all wanted but it doesn't look like our first choice targets are available this summer anyway. And at the prices going it would also leave spare cash in the kitty to fund quality DM, CB and GK signings.

Even if the reports that Wenger is planning on converting Sanchez to a CF are true (I'm not convinced they are), it would be a risky move so we need some kind of back up. That way we could always move Sanchez back out wide where he's guaranteed to be awesome, and have depth and options upfront.

I can't believe he turned Real and Barca down! I guess they'll have to make do with Suarez... :violin:

What have Villa ever done to Nik? Why is he picking on them in particular?

Sanchez plays up front (well just off the main guy) for Chile and i think he can play there for us too. I think he'll play wide left for us at first and feed off Giroud but the guy is very versatile and can play anywhere upfront. His heading ability is also very good for a tiny guy. I fell in love with him when Chile destroyed Germany a few months ago (although they lost lol) and i remember the BFG saying Sanchez was the toughest striker he came up against.

"You cannot catch him - it's unbelievable how quick and how good with his feet he is," Mertesacker told Arsenal.com. "If you get one against one with him, it's nearly impossible.

"That was a really tough game for everyone today, especially in the first half. It was intense from the first minute and Chile played well over the 90 minutes. I think they are the toughest opponent we have played so far

I wouldn't mind Remy but I always saw him as a wide forward or a second striker rather than someone who can play on his own up front. I could be wrong and perhaps Wenger sees him as capable of adjusting his game to play there.

Good player and can do a job for us covering and providing competition for Giroud for that spot until we develop a complete worldie ourselves or buy one. Debauchy like in that regard. Just hope it doesn't mean that Santi is off to Atheltico.

Backup GK and DM left Arsene.
