Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Teletext

channel 310 for the football updates. If you didn't have a radio, it was the only way to get football updates.

Remembering it was 310 is a bit sad. And do you also remember hoping all the key news was on the one page because it took several days for the system to cycle through all those pages to get to page 2?

Even so, Teletext was a lot, lot better than Twitter.

We're waiting to see a proper return from the £42m man. And he's only going to get better in the second half of the season. With Gnabry making rapid progress as well and Podolski and Ox back, we're already in much better shape than the first half of the season. Absolutely no point even discussing a £30m+ signing in the next two windows. Wenger doesn't operate like that. We wouldn't have bothered with Ozil if he didn't feel his job was on the line.

We're not in better shape in the striking dept. We have got away with the fact that we really only have 1 out & out striker in Giroud. Podolski is not, nor is Walcott & please don't anyone mention Bendtner. We are now aware that Giroud is very hit & miss, mostly miss, & now with Theo out we're actually worse off than when we started. I agree that " Wenger doesn't operate like that" which is the main reason we've won fuck all recently but even his own players ( Arteta ) are saying that we need more firepower. Whilst I don't want us to pay "ransom" money for any player, if he wants to win things THIS year he needs to act. We know we can score goals from midfiled but without pace & finishing power upfront we will not beat the better teams. His problem is that the good start has raised expectancy levels - none of us are now looking at a top 4 as being a good year, to finish 4th would only prove he didn't have the squad to see it through. At the start of the year, especially after the Villa game we would have all taken top 4.

Do you remember when muppets paid 49p a minute to call an 0898 number to hear this shite?

What a brilliant money making scheme

We're being linked with Morata again, although I'm not sure he's what we need considering he's not scored many for Real and is very young (from what I've seen of him I haven't been particularly impressed so I'm not sure why people are raving about him), Real supposedly don't want to let anyone go in January either.

Surely we can do better than him, would prefer Martinez.

We wont sign anyone. Crazy money, and Wenger just has to look at Arshavin for poor value for money.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Martinez seems a bit too eager to sign for us, which for some reason seems quite concerning to me. Plus Porto won't let him go unless it's silly money and for his age and experience that doesn't seem worthwhile.

I dunno, I actually think getting someone talented like Morata on loan for the season to supplement Giroud, Bendtner and Podolski is probably the best option until we aim for a more long term target this summer. Someone like Kevin Volland or whoever Arsene has been secretly scouting.

Either way we need to do it now instead of waiting till the last minute as usual. Force the issue and be proactive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He can't play in the Champions League with Porto and therefore secure playing for Colombia so I could see why he is pushing for a move (I think he actually could play in the CL for us).

He's a bit of a tank.

We're being linked with Ntep.

Yeah I haven't heard of him either.

The Telegraph reckon we're unlikely to sign anyone due to lack of availability, probably why it would have been a good idea to make sure we signed a striker in the summer, but hey ho.
