Wolfsburg have signed Draxler.
That's another one we can chalk off the "list"
Got enough attacking midfielders don't need Wilhelm Elliot
A player that wants to be a winger wouldn't hurt but apparently we have Theo, Ox and Ramsey, all natural wide players that will have a huge impact on our team.
First priority has to be a striker, Welbeck, Ox, Walcott and Sanchez on the wings
We're definitely not signing a striker so we could look at improving other areas of the squad. Daft idea I know.Quote:

If there's no-one on Sanchez's level that is gettable then I dont mind the club not buying a striker. Just have to hope that Sanchez be a top class striker in a CF role, and Walcott, Giroud and Welbeck can chip in. But not getting a defensive midfielder looks a bad decision. Surely there were a few of them on the move. Even Wanyama is available now. Coquelin needs help in the middle.
Ox can be converted into a DM.Quote:

God. Wenger informed him this morning.Quote:

I'm not saying we definitely will sign anyone, the lack of information or rumours makes it worrying alas I don't think there is any need to put a definitive on anything for another 24 hours.
I imagine Wenger does talk to God and that God answersQuote:

Why is our board so lax about sacking him!? :banghead:Quote:

Good stuff.
Wolfsburg conducting their business with minimal fuss, Draxler signed, probably sell him for 70-80 million in a couple years time.
When it comes to transfers they don't waste time and get their targets promptly.
Song back to West Ham :lol: Barceloaner
The Twitter rumours suggest a domino effect on transfers which may be as follows:
Hernandez to BVB
Rues to RM
Benzema to Arsenal
Well, they've got 4 hours...
And Hernandez has gone to Leverkusen...
at least Twatter managed to get one of those right by waiting until it actually happened.
Think navas is central American.Quote:

They were talking £150mill for Neymar if that had gone through. All the signs are of mega rich pigs having one last feast before they move on to the next harvest.
In many ways you can understand Wenger not wanting to be part of this. In the end he's 100% correct about the transfer market and all the doping going on in the game (financial doping, not the Real Madrid chemical type). It would be glorious and a real achievement if we really could win a title without busting 9 figures in a buying spree but unfortunately that is what the game is these days. The pigs have total control and so the inflation is out of control, same MO as every other market they descend on to pick to the bone.
But say we do persist with a sane approach to expenditure, and people might point at Ozil and Alexis and try to pretend we're part of the big spender club now, but even it out over a decade and we've probably spent less than QPR. If we do persist then it makes it all the more urgent for Wenger to kick that stubbornness into touch and start getting the best out of the players we do have. No more of this shit forcing his favourites into the team, time to learn a bit about rotation, time to pay attention to form, time to approach each game as a different set of challenges. Enough with the ridiculous notion we can play some beautiful vision of football in the middle of what has become a sporting desert. Or go and let somebody else do it.
