Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Ollie the Optimist]

So selling him and buying two inferior squad players makes sense? I've already said that the main difference this year was our defence and being able to hold on to a lead for once. That's down to Wenger and Bould tinkering making sure we are more organised.

What's happened to your argument about not having the money? So it's not financial issue now and more to do with what we needed as squad?

you do not win trophies with a forward line of world class stirker, theo, chamkh and bentner. you just dont, no matter how good your defence is.

therefore, wenger has seen that he knew we had limited money, could get three very good players in, then next summer get the big one. the 3 million pound player in etc and really go for it next season. so what happens is, you improve the squad in the space of year by getting three very good players in and one world class player in that means you can compete especially after fixing the defence it seems. if you signed one world class player, you wouldnt compete

Compete? Compete for what we got knocked out of all competitions fairly early and struggled to get 4th? What did we compete for exactly?

I'd have rather had a world class striker to watch, if that's what making a few cheap signings instead of world class players does.

Bullshit.

So what about this limited budget nonsense? So in theory, we could afford to sign a world class striker, right? The funds were there but we chose to spread the cost on two players that probably won't feature much next season if we spend big this year?

Have we signed anyone yet? Apart from the injured fella?

We'll need to downgrade even more before we can upgrade. We won nothing with Cazorla and co so we need to sell him first, replace him with two average players and then move for a world class player. Wenger is a genius. It's chess not checkers!

Great idea, once we have a squad full of average Joe's who are competing we can start looking at top class players!

Now that they've received a shedload for Cavani this is becoming very feasible for them, they need a striker and can buy him and still have some change left over.

If we were ever in for him, we've well and truly f*cked this up by dragging our heels as usual.

I f*cking hate the way the club is run.

Finally the boys in the boardroom get some good news on the transfer front.

that's nuts if it's mata in part exchange.

United should bite their hand off, my Chelsea mate is absolutely livid they're even entertaining the thought of getting rid of Mata.
