Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Özim]

Wouldnt call any of them big names and i thinks its a gamble spending that much money on players like that.

Walcott scored more goals last season than Willian did in 6 years in a shit league. Soldado hasnt performed any better than Giroud, and he played in the spanish shit league :s Paulinho has spend a bunch of years in different shit teams/leagues around europe, before he had 3 good years in brasil. I would call all of them a huge gambles and i wouldnt want us to break our transfer record for any of them. those 3 alone cost sp*rs almost 75mil, if Wenger had signed them you would have bashed Wenger even more than u usual do, when they sign for our rivals you call them big names? I think you need your head checked

Willian is more about silky skills and creating chances than scoring goals so you can't compare the two.

Soldado scored a hatful last season and has scored a fair few in recent years, not too easy to to in Spain unless you play for the top 2.

Not saying I would have signed them (though Willian is a very good player) but it's a lot better business than we've done that's for sure, we've largely chased after players we're never going to get or underbid for players we could. Last time we had a summer similar to this we signed a lot of sh*t at the end of it so I'm not very hopeful Wenger will sign quality.

Here's 3 players I would consider signing as a packgae deal from Benfica:

Luisao
Gaitain
Cardozo

Any thoughts anyone?

anyone at this point tbh!

Lets be logical then, he has scored 75 in the last 4 seasons, 24/17/18/16 in a shit league... Wouldnt call that much better than Giroud

Sh*t league? It's not me that needs my head checked, the Spanish league is better than the PL.

It's also better than Ligue 1 if we're going to take into account the strength of the league for Giroud's performance over the same period.

If we had made all of the signings the spuds had made, we'd all be very happy.

on the whole yes but i'd be concerned about the amount we were signing on players....i wouldn't have wanted us to spend £25 on a 28 year old striker who wasn't good enough to make it for Real Madrid....you might mention Higuain but Higuain fell foul of the fact that he wasn't rated by Florentino Perez and there is a big gap in quality between Soldado and Higuain.

Plus Spurs really need defensive cover and they haven't bought a single defender.

You would be pleased that your club was showing so much ambition, but i think there are different areas they could have strengthened...i think 30m on Willian is a waste of money when they could have got Benteke for the same amount or even cheaper.

They are still in dire need of an out and out striker to back up defoe and soldado.....adebayor is a waste of space.

Sometimes find it hard to feel any sense of solidarity with Arsenal fans, i mean we are all being put through the wringer by the club and the manager but it doesn't help me feel any sympathy when fans come out with silly things like this.
One good pass in the whole game and he's awesome....the only thing awesome relating to him is that i am in awe of the totality of Wenger's utter mental divergence that would make him believe that he is anywhere near good enough to be in our side.
Don't get me wrong it'd be very easy to make that statement regarding many of our players but with Ramsey....i know Denilson was terrible but i can't think of one player who contributes so much to our downfall in games just by being on the pitch.

Oh come of it. I'm not going to say too much or I'll be accused of point scoring by some but clearly that pass wasn't the only great thing about his performance yesterday. He bossed the game completely, made effective passes throughout, initiated attacks and kept the play flowing for us. Can't remember Denilson ever dominating a game like that for us ever. It looked like the Ramsey everyone thought he would develop into pre that thug Shawcross assaulting him.

Is he the best player ever, better than Cesc and someone who would get into the invincibles first team? Obviously not, but he's far from a problem area that we need to fix at the moment. Your irrational personal hatred towards the guy is ridiculous.

Giroud is a good player, Soldado may well be a good player too. I don't think there's all that much to choose between them and there isn't too much point comparing them.

I agree. But I think Giroud will out score him this year and look like the superior player. He's slightly younger as well.

Can't say much about Wil.I.Am though.
