They both offer something very different to Giroud i.e. they are very mobile, very skilled technically and can beat a man or a few... quite embarrassingly, go beyond the defensive line and play the game that gets fans off seats and on their feet.

Mentioned the two Gabriels on here before and got the customary, "not good enough, will never get a work permit" bollocks

Take a bag of cash to South America and pick the very best young talent.

There is no way we will sign Mahrez, Lacazette AND a defender.

It will only 2 of those MAXIMUM and it would not surprise me if we only signed one of them.

None of them is not totally out of the question either.

I remember you mentioning them too and never thought they'd get a work permit. City signing Jesus says it all. Why the heck didn't we move for them? I thought the only logical explanation why we didn't move for either was down to work permit problems. Yet we sign some kid from Japan who most certainly won't get a work permit. Wasn't Wenger talking about South American strikers being the best? We dropped the ball on this one.

If they are top quality and have featured in their under 20's, 21's or national team, they can get a permit. South America for me remains the home of quality forwards and attacking players. The list of world class forwards from that continent over the years is endless, and to think we've never signed one top one at all? Well Eduardo I guess, technically speaking and Baptista was just that ..bap

I heard that Gabriel Jesus was going to be followed to Man City by his team mate Gabriel Judas after a fee of 30 pieces of Silver had been agreed, but apparently Gabriel Jesus felt betrayed by Gabriel Judas overshadowing his move, and Gabriel Judas hung himself from a goal post in training.

Let's not forget Wellington Silva. But we just got rid of him. Ohhh and Sanchez! There has to be more?

We seem to only go for more defensive players from that side of the world. I'm guessing it's a lot to do with their technique on the ball.

Obviously preferring hanging from a goal post as opposed to being forced to walk the plank by Gabriel Barbosa

We need a pacy striker? We have Theodore Walcott.

Game. Set. Match.

Wenger has 'convinced' Theo that he is best on the right as a winger.

Has Sanogo come back?

Theo on the right with a special delivery into Sanogo at the post. Won't happen. Both are second class.
