Season ticket renewals soon I believe.

And that.

Theyre actually probably sweating a bit right now as the tide does seem to be turning. Not many Wenger supporters left now!

You just answered your own question. I'm not saying I want us to make him the prime target. But I'd have been delighted if we had signed him last summer. He'd have helped share the burden with Ozil and might have even been able to play elsewhere. West Ham got him for next to nothing in the market these days.

As it is Ozil will play until he breaks and be damned should he perform anything less than the expected level. We'll keep playing him anyway!

You're talking as if his value as an economical asset is an irrelevance.

I don't think WUMger would sign a player if it meant putting an established player's nose out of joint. Too much man-management involved there, he'd rather persist with duds because they do as they're told and his favourites can play without fear of losing their place.

Though he did sign Cech which was a ruthless move. How bloody important does that one look now?

We have to purge first before we start buying.

Ox to West Ham is the latest media punt.

Walcott to Wham too.

They'd probably be unrecognisable at a club like West Ham.

Keep the Ox, let the waster go.
