Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on now. Think about how that part about a phone call got into this piece? What do you think the interviewer asked him when considering his connection to Pellegrini at Villareal and Malaga? Pellegrini took Cazorla from Villareal to Malaga. You’re fully aware of how the media try to manipulate a situation and but your falling hook line and sinker for this one.

Just as likely he said it word for word - we don't know. I'm not bothered about the journalist, journalists are whores full stop. Nothing will change that. I'm, saying Cazorla would do everyone a favour by not speaking at all. If you don't say shit then they can't pin your name to their shit. After a couple of seasons here Cazorla can't be under any illusions about the tactics used by the press.

Wenger has a history of buying players in complete different positions at a time when everybody is asking for something else. I have sympathy for it and it has often served us well to an extent but buying the right player is more key than the actual position he plays in, because we could do with plugging a few holes up!

On position alone in the strictest sense, Draxler would make little sense....but on quality and the players skill set, he is the sort of player you'd want to bring in. I would like a player like Lucas Moura over here, though I'd be a little afraid we'd coach the little in the way of a propensity to shoot the player has out of him!

Wenger won't want to walk unless he is almost completey done with football at coaching/managerial level all together. How many top clubs will he get such a relatively modest level of pressure allied with such autonomy? I can't think of a single club. I also can't see him accepting a very stringently defined and restrictive role either with a load of meddling footballing charlatans to 'work' with so we're probably stuck with each other folks.

The board will only sack him if their minimum targets have significantly been raised too.

Watched Draxler a few times and he appears to be a decent player. That's all, we're not talking Messi or even RvP. I know he's young and has time to fulfil his potential, question is do we have the time to wait? We'll just see the players jumping ship again if we don't mount a proper challenge next season. And to do that we'd be better off with ready made talent.

I like Draxler a lot, having never seen him play.

He's got a lot of pace. Might as well bring him in, along with that goalkeeper bloke Stankalot who also has pace.

Munchies our resident talent scout has watched him a few times and he's reported back that he's looked sh*t.

RE Draxler, it's the wrong signing for me, players should be signed according to a teams need not based on the fact they have talent, we don't need any CM does that mean we should sign one anyway if a top class one comes along?

We need a striker not a wannabe striker (not really fair as it's probably Wenger that thinks he could be a striker).

Also NO to Mandzukic, awful player IMO. Yes he gets goals (so would Giroud in a team like Bayern dominating their own league like never before) but whenever ive watched him he's looked slow and limited. His lack of pace was very evident yesterday.

Agreed, Mandzukic is sh*t wouldn't want him anywhere near the club, that goes for Kalou too.

He's not shit and would represent a minor upgrade on Giroud however he's not what we need.

It's becoming a cliche and repetative but we need someone with more pace and trickery.


As for Draxler, after seeing our deficienies over the past month I think there are much more important areas to strengthen first.

I think we should sign Draxler, hes a good looking kid. If Ollie (Giroud, the other Ollie would never leave excepting Wenger does) leaves we need someone to fill the handsome quota. Vermaelen might leave too, so we would be quite depleted in that sector.......And no Diaby cannot play there. Some say he cannot play at all
