I prefer l'ouiseau as my favourite term for Wenger because of his thin crane like legs and his avian features

No one is advocating what United have done with Martial, I don't necessarily think it's a panic buy but who knows if they have done their homework to ascertain whether he will prove to be worth the gamble or will be the next Freddy Adu.

There is an issue of valuation, if a club values a player higher than Wenger values him than we won't do a deal, that is ridiculous....

Wenger said it plenty of times, but he wants goals from the midfield and hinted at the fact that he felt we had enough goals from our forwards.

Why do I get the feeling that you're disagreeing with me even though essentially we are saying the same thing.

I'm agreeing with you for once.

Us. :haha:

What a waste of time.

A manager who expects the bulk of goals to come from midfield rather than his forwards :rolleyes:

Here's an idea, why not sign a player who can get you 25-30 goals up front, then any goals from midfield are a bonus, he needs his head checked with some of his theories, he's been obsessed with goals from midfield, goalscoring midfielders are few and far between and we don't really seem to have any, even when we did we had a top striker who would get loads of goals up front.

I can still remember when he first came out with this 1 striker formation where he expected the 5 midfielders to score the bulk of the goals, it never worked then and won't work now, it always made us look toothless and watching the midfielders miss chance after chance was painful, but then he's always been totally obsessed with midfielders (well ever since his winning teams, which it could be perceived achieved the trophy haul due to leadership on the field with minimal input from the sideless), he's been overloading us with midfielders for years now, hence the reason we stick central players out wide and barely have any natural wingers.

I half agree with Wenger as well, in that we should be getting more goals from our midfield. Don't get me wrong another striker was vital but Ox, Ozil and Cazorla need to be chopping in with goals more this season.

I think what he was saying is that we were over relying on Giroud and Sanchez to win us games and that our midfield should provide more supplementary goal power. And whilst I think we did obviously need a better striker, I do agree that we need more goals coring contribution from midfield.
