Wenger would rather complain about him roughing up our midfield rather than admit that's the league we play in. No chance, not a Wenger player these days. If Southampton had a five foot nought lightweight version who gets injured all the time, then maybe.Quote:

This may be the sum total of this winters spending. Wenger wouldnt buy Messi even if he paraded around the Emirates wearing a sandwich board saying "come and get me".
Yep, totally agree.Quote:

We're signing the Mummy Returns and that's it unless something opportunist comes up.
Sounds like Wenger is still in the market for players, he sounds bullish! I hope we are!

Debuchy likely to be shipped on, which wouldn't be ideal for us leaving no real back-up for right back. Using Chambers there short term makes no sense as the guy needs to be given a defined role to develop into.
Cheeky £50m bid for Lukaku? If not now, then we need to in the summer. Forget Benzema, Cavani and Lacazette, this boy is the future. He's already said he wants to play under Wenger, he's at a great age and outgrowing Everton sooner rather than later, so time to bring out the Dick Law.
It's the most transparent and open he's been about transfers ever.
The Welbeck and Jack setbacks seems to have really exasperated him and forced his hand here. In addition to Elneny, if we can get some stopgap/loan signing up front (Kokorin?) I think he'll do it before probably the splashing the entire warchest this summer on a forward.
I'd fucking love Lukaku here as he's perfect for us but that's a summer mega transfer type move if I ever saw one. Given how strong Everton were in holding on to Stones, there's no way we could realistically prise him away in January. Wouldn't be suprised either if Utd tried to get in on the action considering that Wazza is past it and if it turns into a straight bidding war with them, we usually don't play ball. Though if they don't get CL football and continue to be a shambles mangerialy, he may just prefer to come here.
Lukaku being fed by Ozil for the next 5 years. :cloud9:
We won't be making any big signings in the summer, we'll make 1 maybe 2 average priced signings and that will be it, we've made our big signings now, Wenger proved that last summer, so we should stop dreaming about signing quality strikers.
