Mixed race.

So he's not all bad.

Oh boy, another Obama. Dont tell me he is Muslim as well..

But another winger, really? I mean we've already signed Gervinho and we really needed some defenders and a striker to cover for RVP and choose to sign a 17 year old winger.

Nasri moves inside, Theo moves up front.

Apparently we're close to signing that Campbell kid as well. The crèche will be bursting come Saturday. Shame there won't be enough grown-ups to look after them.

So, Oxfam-Chambermaid huh?

Oh well, no Mata.

[Fats]

How much ????? For an unproven player we dont need?????

Fuck off Arsene you thick prick

It's still possible we'll sign Mata, Cahill, Samba, a goalkeeper and an experienced striker to save us from Chamakh when RvP is injured. There's a whole six days before kick-off and after all, Wenger did promise to make big changes. When you look at Wenger's track record I'd say it's highly likely we'll sign the players we need before kick-off. Think about it, there's no way Wenger could have looked at what happened last year and still insist on the same policy of signing untested youngsters. I think we'll definitely be signing 4-5 big names in the next few days. Arsene knows.

I'm actually glad we've signed Ox. Hopefully it'll relegate Walcott to the bench who is hopeless.

Ox looks powerful and I thought he looked awesome against Manure last season.

I think he'll be great.

There is also no way that Wenger would spend £15m on a kid and not strengthen the defence as well. The money is clearly there to be spent. Wenger is a fool but he's not that much of a fool to think he'll get away with spending £15m on a kid and not strengthen defence.

Always nice to sign an Englishman. Looking forward to seeing him play.

I don't reckon he'll strengthen the defence.

I don't think we'll get anyone now. Wasn't even expecting this kid but yeah - £10m and £12m respectively for Gervinho and Oxo cube...that's us done on the buying front. Might well sell Nasri or Cesc to cover that spending but oh well.
