You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
Wenger might be a lot of things but he's not a bumbling idiot.
Never heard of a Spaniard called Rodriguez…a portuguese or brazilian perhapsI'll think we'll go for Benteke personally…he's purposely played poorly after coming bk from injury to get his transfer price down

Likelier than Costa or Reus or Suarez! Milan is under serious shit footballistically and financially plus Balotelli has been a disruption at every team he has been at.. it is likely that person with his mentality will have problems in any club he is at.
My statement above does not make it seem like he is realistic.. there is a 5% chance of it happening while Reus, Suarez, Costa are 0%.. no freaking chance! Honestly, Berba is a good short term fix for our team and I hope we seriously try and get him.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I hope wenger is on the WUM re: bendtner or not signing anyone, however, I'm still a bit worried that he thinks we've got enough.
Because we haven't, even with everyone fit, we still need another option for strength.
I just hope he doesn't waste 2-3 weeks of football to decide what to do
Well that's exactly it then. We could have our pick of players in the Championship, doesn't mean it is likely to happen. So purely on the likelihood of events it is no more silly discussing Messi coming here than it is a 30 year old midfielder in League 2. Neither is remotely likely.
Clearly we use this thread to predominantly discuss targets we would like....and thus make a case for them. Within reason of course. Costa is within reason whether you think it will happen or not because his release clause is 32 million which is a fact. We have that money and more some for a signing. It's also fact that we bid 40 million for a forward less than 6 months ago. How can you then equate Costa coming here to 0% probability. Basically you are saying it is impossible (technically speaking) and it clearly isn't impossible.
Doesn't mean it is likely to happen but look around....there's no transfer anyone can say is likely to happen because we aren't privy to that knowledge. There is not a single player anybody has mentioned in the entire thread that I am convinced we will sign but I can still discuss the merits of each player. Most of debates are football debates anyway rather than financial ones, which is a far more interesting debate to have imo.
My opinion is that this thread is to discuss speculations in papers and print media rather than discuss targets we like. I could be wrong but IMO reading something about the qualities of Messi, Costa, Ronaldo for 5-6 pages makes no sense. I would rather see discussions around players we realistically have a chance of getting. Again, thats my opinion.. I feel like this is a meeting I have with my analysts- lot of beating around the bush i.e. main issues and rarely anyone hitting the nail on the coffin.

Try asking them to hit the nail on the head instead.
You might get better results
Bendtner out for 2 months
