Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Dicks and chicks]

santi carzola is on his way to athletic madrid,


they got lots of spending money after selling falcao, could be interesting if he goes http://hereisthecity.com/2013/07/17/...-does-cazorla/

guess the board lied when they said no star player would leave arsenal

[KSE Comedy Club]

If they do sell him then they can be officially named ****s

Anyway it's from Marca so you know it's horseshit.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Cazorla to leave? Yeah that's bullshit

[Ollie the Optimist]

Same old shit, different season.

As we know, the money is there. Always has been. Wenger refuses to spend

Except it hasn't been. As admitted this summer.

Regardless of how the money has been raised, you can't argue with the fact that we spent around £46m last year. Year before was close to £60m and before that £20m.

Instead of spending around £10m each on Podolski and Giroud, we should have just spent £20m on one top class striker. If we've bid £18m - £20m for Higuain now, we could have bid that same amount for him last season!

Key difference and that's wages. But ignoring that, signing one player like Higuain last year is great, but if he got injured, we were left with chamakh up front. We needed good players and squad players therefore we needed to sign several players. We did. Now we can go and splash the cash on the one world class player because we have the squad behind him

Direct quote from gazidas this year "aw has done an outstanding job to keep us in the mix on a limited budget"

How? Pod is supposed to be on £90k - £100k already and Giroud can't be on anything less than £50k. Higuain isn't on that much at Madrid and reports were batting around £100k as the wage he'd be on?

As for that argument about options up front....Podolski hardly played up front and Theo started more games through the middle than he did. Gervinho as well. We had a good chunk of the season where Pod was on the bench too. We need quality over quantity. Wenger is terrible at rotating players and hardly made use of his bench at all. If you're not happy on the bench, he'll freeze you out totally so forget the argument of needing a big squad. When Theo was having contract issues he'd play Ramsey out wide instead of starting Theo, which was senseless.
