Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

Newcastle have made a loan offer for Remy and also bid for Gomis. :lol:

Continuing their French only policy then.

:tumbleweed: 4590 posts later plus the Higuain, Suarez & Bernard threads ......you have to hand it to Wumger & Arsenal

I might as well get pissed then.

we need sharia law tbf. put wenget into a burka. give him a ray-gun. chop his hands off for robbery.

solves all the problems. muslamics :bow:

That was kinda my point. If he genuinely believes we are strong enough to compete as it stands its litte bit scary.

In the old days what he said and what he actually did were definitely two diffferent things. But the trend in recent times hasn't been that at all. If he says we're not close to signing anyone, its probably the truth.

Part of what he says alludes to the situation in France where both PSG and Monaco have turned the value of what a decent player is worth on it's head....i.e signing Edinson Cavani for 54.5million.

I don't see that the board are just being tight because they can't personally stand to profit from our lack of spending....so it leaves two conclusions that the money isn't there at all and i don't think that's the case. Or that it's improving near on impossible to sign decent players for anything less than silly money.

Look at Higuain, he's a player that was desperate to leave the club yet Real Madrid still managed to get 40 million euros from Napoli for him.

I think Wenger is also very stubborn, it''s either the players he has targeted or no-one.....but don't get me wrong if the Champions of England are having trouble strengthening than it only stands to reason that we would as well....and to be fair our pre-season has gone a lot better than ours (although still leaves me worrying very much about our central midfield).
