Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Ollie the Optimist]

so there was not one striker in the whole world that we could have realistically bought for £25m last year?

after having a think, looking at the strikers out there, the only one who is close to being world class who we could have got for 25 million is llorente.

of the top strikers in europe that season
van persie left
rooney a no go
higauin a no go
ibravomich too expensive
aguero/dzecko a no go
drogba wouldnt come because he only just left chelsea
canvari is too expensive
david villa is another possible one, but didnt he have a broken leg at the time?
el shawary, well rumours are this usmmer they want 30 plus million for him so i dont think 25 would have got him.
lewandoski/gomez i dont think would come either


trying to think of the top strikers in europe of top of my head adn most of them werent realistic at all sign

Canvari was the biggest must get ever tbh

were there any 25 million pound strikers last year? of those who were sold, who would we have got? genunie question this. higuain is a no go last year, suarez too and rooney.

ibrahimovich was sold but too far out of range, only one i could think of is dzecko but he just won the league. this year, having 40 million to spend on one player opens up more doors

So it goes from not having the money to nobody being available at that price.

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?

revolutionary, by your logic we can compete by getting rid of all our world class players! oh wait, we already did that...

er no, it was me answering your point of whats stopping him signing those players at that price. if he had 25 million to sign a striker last summer, who could we have signed? i answered that. not rocket science

Ayo Ollie, so what happened to your theory that we had Higuain in the bag and that we were waiting to announce him and Rooney at the same time for fear of Utd not selling to us?

I mean now it seems likelier that Napoli will get Higuain and Chelsea are knocking hard on Utd's door for Rooney, no way we can compete with them on that front.

He was in the bag, it's just that Napoli well.....took him out of our bag and put him in their bag when we weren't looking before checkout....thieving so and so's.

[Ollie the Optimist]

you mean the theory that i posted, saying there could be something to it but that it wasnt my theory? i felt there could have been something in that theory, thought it could spark an interesting debate so posted it on a message board where people debate such things.


as thinkgs stand, i dont htink we will get higuain, sounds like madrid have been dicks so we now have turned to suarez. guttted we wont get higuain, but if we end up siging suarez instead i wont be too unhappy.

don't worry, we have Suarez in the bag. We just don't want to announce him yet because we might piss off Barca (for reasons unknown) and they will up their price to sell Cesc back to us. We will announce them at the same time.

Suarez

This is so never happening, please come down from the clouds. The only Suarez you're likely to see in an Arsenal shirt is of his distant relatives who's either just out of nappies or going on the cheap.
