Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Niall_Quinn]

No sympathy for the fans - It's like offering someone a mysterious looking package and saying you need to give me £45 minimum every two weeks to see what's inside....and only once this money is handed over do you see it to be a one legged postman.
The moral is don't let you curiousity and willingness to trust get the better of you....it's like people who are taken in by Spam e-mail.
I was offered a season ticket earlier on in the summer and this was before it was abundant it was going to be business as usual and i said "No Thanks!"

The fuckers are hiring spammers to market season tickets now? Figures, saves on marketing expenses.

What's going on with these clubs? I get the feeling nobody is listening to Wenger. They are ignoring him and blatantly signing players, right out in the open without so much as a by your leave.

Selfish, Ignorant Bastards!

Come on now NQ....these old Octagenarians think Spam is something they have with their tea...and tweets are something a bird makes.....we can accuse them of being insensitive money grabbing bastards living in their ivory towers but we can't accuse them of being au fait with Modern technology and corruption....I just won't have that!

People wetting themselves over the Spuds

For all their signings, they've only signed one that would make it into our first team (Soldado) and even he isn't that much of an upgrade on Giroud, who is a far better all-round player. They're also about to lose a player who was probably worth a third of their points last season. Only one that really looks like a good buy was Eriksen at 10.7M, and Cazorla shits all over him (as will Ramsey this season).

We said we wanted big name players, they take time. At the moment the only player that we've really missed out on is Higuain, and that because the club thought a 'better' player could be brought in (fair enough). Patience lads. Something will happen before the end of the transfer window. As for the Flamini signing, it's a good one for squad depth if he is physically fit - our midfield quality looks quite decent.

People are wetting themselves over the spuds as a team, they are contrasting their activity in the market with the utter bullshit Wenger is coming out with about it being hard to sign players. Of course it is if you are too tight to pay the asking price.

Soldado a slight upgrade on Giroud?

Paulinho would also walk in to our team as would Eriksen who is better than all our CMs.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Would have almost of the players they have signed this summer at Arsenal with the exception of Soldado as he has zero pace and would be no better than Giroud.....but Chadli would beef up our options on the wing, Lamela is one of the best young wingers around....Paulinho and Capoue would be excellent to beef up our lightweight central midfield...and Eriksen would be a good replacement for Rosicky who will invariably get injured this season.
The only one i wouldn't snap your hand off for is Vlad the Impaler as know nothing about him

Soldado scored 30 goals and 5 assists in 41 starts last season, Giroud scored 17 goals and 10 assists in 33 starts last season. The ratios aren't that much different. Let's not forget it was Giroud's first season in a new league, new team etc, is two years younger and will only improve this season. IMO La Liga is also easier than the Premiership but that's another debate.

Let's wait to see how Paulinho does playing week in, week out in a competitive league before we all start jizzing over him. No doubt people wet themselves over Spurs signing Lloris, Dembele, Vertonghen etc last season but we still finished ahead of them and they're losing a far more integral player this time around.

I believe Eriksen is a good buy but Cazorla is comfortably better than him (at the moment) and while he will probably grow to be a better player in future, we want players that are ready to come in and better our first team now. The rest, the likes of Capoue, Chadli, Chiriches are nothing spectacular.

Arsenal are ready to spend 40m on German international. @GeoffArsenal

Gotta be Ozil, but the board knows there is no chance
