So what you're saying is he was very interested in a number of playmakers but never bothered to make an approach...hmmm seems strange to me.
If Dzagoev is available cut price he'll have his pick of clubs and I doubt we'll be his number 1 choice, in addition if what you're saying is true Wenger was interested in a number of playmakers and just watched as his chances of signing them disappeared, going by that he'll sit and watch whilst Dzagoev moves elsewhere.
so podolski done, girioud pretty much done and hopefully m'vila. if that doesnt tell RVP we are being ambitiious then nothing will. no signings of players who might be good one day but players who are actualy good now. if we complete these siginings before pre season and add in maybe a cheap cb or rb then let them all have a good preseason, we will seriously challenge fro the title
If we complete Giroud and M'Vila and van Persie still wants to leave, then fuck him.
Good player, but who cares?
Wenger's still earning Ł8 million and he still doesn't share a few cans with Pulis and Hughes and FMF, etc.
