Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

That's one matter but I'm more concerned with our scouting. We should be able to find players like Aguero, Suarez, Falcao..etc before the mega rich get to them but we're scouting garbage like Chamakh, Giroud and Sanago in the French league. Wenger's too far removed from France and he doesn't know that market anymore, hench the blunders. Before he left France, he knew of the talented young players around the country but years have passed since then. Now we're reduced to scouting the lower divisions of the French and English leagues for our talent. We need a serious upgrade.

Agreed - the Spuds nicked our French scouting team by paying them more money but then realized nobody in France wants to play for them or has even heard of them.

Utd in the hunt for Khedira now - and they can pay his stupid demands.

:gp:

Other than being a proper gentleman for Arsenal FC, this would be his best moment at our club. Hope his injury keeps him out just long enough for us to bring Khedira in.

Thank you Capi! :tiphat:

Welbeck? :lol:

Jesus christ.

You can do better than that.

Yes.

Rather have Welbeck than Giroud in all honesty

Better get used to it - his lack of interest in another forward means he thinks they are good enough - no one else at the club has the balls to tell him otherwise. This lack of ambition to invest in real quality all over the pitch is the reason why players have left & I don't blame them
