Didn't Wenget get interviewed saying he was interested in Holtby 24h after the player had signed for Spurs?

Your post little bit a short of sharpness and accuracy but full of character and little bit a spirit.Didn't Wenget get interviewed saying he was interested in Holtby 24h after the player had signed for Spurs?
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
His words:
http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-ne...ke-star-188580"We have looked at Holtby, yes," said Wenger. "We have played against him, and our scouts are kept on alert and the quality of our scouting is linked with that."
Sounds like the scouts fell asleep.
I worry that our scouting system is average these days.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I think I've come to accept it. Pretty much everything about us is average these days, but that's what you get when you only ever target mediocrity.
Wouldn't say everything, but a lot of things about the club are now below the high standards we expect.
Sometimes I wonder. . .its not even that our scouting system is necessarily shit. . .I mean we seem to be lonked with/have our eye on a lot of players that ultimately go to another club.
For example Holtby, now he may not have been a major miss (my words, which I was shot down for btw) but from what little I have seen of him, I know he is a damm sight better than Ramzi! so a miss.
Then there is Ba, maybe not everyones first choice but if you expect a stream of ballon d'or nominees to grace our team, you are in for a shock. Ba is a proven goalscorer, direct, who can score from anywhere and cheap. . .maybe not tge best proponent of tippy tap but feck that shit. . .we need winners
And that is where we fall short as a team/club. . .we lack the winners mentality both on ans off the field, we way we play is reflected in the way we do business. We are scared to take a pot at goal in the same way we waste so much time securing deals, so much so we are often beaten to the chase by one our rivals when it comes to signing a player.
We may go for Villa but Ba was ready to play, is younger and will cost less. Its tge same story time and time again. Cahill, Dempsey. . .Parker (some say they are shit but compared to what we have been putting out. . .)
We need to show a wonning mentality in everything we do

Ba wasn't as cheap as you think.
But cheaper than Villa (who we are not going to get?) so who then? we loaned out Chamakh, Gerv is off (sigh of relief x2), if Walcott goes or gets injured we are left with Giroud and Pods who gets the nod as striker leaves a gap on the left, we are desperately shorthanded again. . .shit what was I thinking, I take it all back. . .we have Ramseu who dont forget can play there. . .
