Whilst I'm sure Oxo cube kid will go on to be a handy player for us, unless he's a Messi or Rooney style teenage freak, then we won't see much of him for a couple of years. .

Wenger has already cionfirmed he is to go straight into the first team squad.

Wenger has already cionfirmed he is to go straight into the first team squad.

So this is one of our "quality" signings then? I mean good luck to him, I hope he's a world beater. But on the off-chance he isn't, we're back to square one needing quality, experienced players to correct the glaring deficiencies that have killed us season after season. Wenger said he would address those problems. It's starting to look like he lied.

This Oxo-Chamberlain child signing has really pissed me oofff. What.The.Fuck. Do we need another small, 17Y.O pre-pubesant striker 'for the future' for? And for £12m! As a member of the optimism club I shouldn't be saying this, but are these the three signings that we've been told about? We need a class defender, we could have added that £12m onto the price of someone brilliant at the back to go with Verms (when he's fit) not just another kid. There isnt even a thread about him, even though we've just, supposedly, bought a striker for £12m. Jesus this pisses me off.

Miyaichi has been granted his work permit apparently.

I think paying that much for a teenager who won't bare fruit for a few years is no more crazy than paying more for an established but maybe overpiced player, when it's the latter we actually need.

The only way I can let this slide is if we prove we do have serious intentions by buying another player like Gervinho who goes straight into the first team set up.

I agree it's no crazier due to the differing circumstances, personally I think we're going to do both, but in terms of financial investment one is a lot more than the other, I guess I agree with everything, was fairly sure I had a point before but I'm damned if I can remember it now.

I doubt that one winger equates to three signings, even in the Arsenal PR Handbook.

They said they're still looking for defenders and so there's still a good chance we'll get one in, relax a little.

Good news that, saw some BS story about Dortmunds Kagawa. . . .that would be a sound move.

the guy has skills and plenty of guts, get a Japanese player and you get total commitment. . . .and the quality is markedly better than the days of Ina

[Darth Vela]

Yep, that's one of the reasons I'm happy to see Miyachi in the squad at least, there'll be days when he does well and days when he'll be pretty ineffectual but you know you're going to get a decent work ethic all the time.
