They've got their priorities all screwed up. Why are they trying to replace Cavani with Higuain?Originally Posted by Ralpheroo72
They should go for two average players instead, forget world class. Chamakh and Bendy are still available.

right you clearly havnt read my posts because as i said, in recent seasons with a world class striker we have only competed for the top four
and wth you point in bold, surely you would prefer some billionaire run team to get the world class players becuase then it means more teams compete rather then just english and spainish ones?
yep, bloody bonkers if true!!!
Irrelevant because last season we competed for nothing and struggled to get 4th, I'd prefer to have a world class striker to two average strikers just as I said before. Your point about making sense signing two lesser players doesn't work for me, a top class striker is likely to win you more matches and will give you a better chance in big games that matter, that's not to say he'll win you stuff on his own, clearly that's not true you need to add other quality players in as well. Signing lesser players when your team isn't that good makes no sense at all.
As for the 2nd part, I'll ignore that shall I.
a forward line of van persie, chamkh, theo and bentner got us top four by 1 point
same with giroud, podolski, theo. now tell me, after we sold van persie, if you added a world class player to one of those, which one is more likely to be able to compete over the whole season, cover for injuries/suspensions and still be competitive.
its not htat hard to understand
I think a team with a world class striker is more likely to compete than one with our current bunch of forwards, so it's an easy choice for me, I'd have spent the money on quality rather than quantity, with a view to further improving the team the following season.
By signing lesser players, we're effectively lowering the quality of the team.
It's not really that black and white. I think the point being made is that with a top striker last season, we might have improved significantly because our defence was the strongest it had been for years.
The RVC team was handicapped by an appalling defence, while the team last year had a weak front line but a good defence.
So the end result is the same.
except the team with the world class player, produced the exact same result as our current forwards did. top four, by a point on the last day. both out of all compeitions by february. how did the world class player make us compete again?
Different seasons, others teams performances were different, there's a lot of other factors so it's not an accurate comparison at all tbh.
I though teams were really poor last season on the whole, the quality of the league seemed much lower than before.
In short Wenger should have spent the money on a top class forward, to replace like for like.
I didn't/still don't have an issue with the Giroud and Pod signings. I think they are both good players which helped improve the squad, and both should hopefully go on to better things this season.
But if the money was available last summer, we should have signed an RVP replacement as well. Indications are that we are trying to rectify that this summer, but I do fear the usual BS at the end of the transfer window about not finding the right players with top top quality etc. If we don't sign an upgrade on Giroud this summer, then there can be no more excuses. Even the die hards will turn on the club IMO.
Anyways, cheeky bid for Mata now that he knows Chelski don't want him?
