Fair enough, but I would have said that if we were gonna sign a striker it should be a no nonsense finisher.

He's very much a Wenger type player, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

I don't think we'll be seeing one coming in as the noises emerging from the Vela camp make it seem like he's still in Wenger's plans and he SHOULD fit that mould of the finisher, much as I like him though I think I'm with you that we need to see someone of that ilk come into the club rather than try and rely on Vela being a little more useful.

I think Gervinho is also the right kind of guy we need to come in but whether he'll actually be any good it's pretty difficult to say, guessing I have a little more faith about this clubs ability to spot a player than you though.

We've signed an established spanish international according to twitter

Well, we weren't expecting him to stay so it's just like a new signing...

I think Vela has ability but he's not cut out for the PL, couldn't even make an impact at West Brom.

As for Gervinho I think he's the striker AW is going to sign, except he's not really an out and out striker....you're right though you do have more faith in the clubs ability to spot talent.

If you can't tell the difference between a football site and twitter where anyone can make BS up under a pretend name then there's no hope for you Ollie.

Have to say that none of the names we are linked with (aside from Cahill) will improve our team significantly.

Gervihnio, Samba, ALvarez (who?), Jagielka etc...= average signings.

Not that Im surprised by this at all, typical AW transfer season.
