To get a bigger mattress to stuff it all in?

Maybe an olympic size swimming pool, so they can go swimming in it like Scrooge McDuck?

Well, I guess that's that with Fabs then - I suppose the positive has to be that, if we've turned down our first refusal on him (and the prices being mentioned didn't look like anything we couldn't afford), then you'd like to think it's because we have other plans for the money?

If that £30m saved goes towards £30m on Reus, then Wenger

Reus never stops running, would provide good cover for Gibbs, and is more of an attacking threat on the wings compared to Pods.

And if there's any kind of sell-on clause, then we may get some of the Cesc transfer money to top-up our budget? Ditto for Vela, if he goes anywhere.

I still hope we go in for Draxler but obviously for a decent price…not silly money.

I don't really want Draxler, he won't be ready anytime soon and it's alot of money for someone unproven.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Unproven?

We'll take him!

[Munchies]

But yeah, I'd rather get either Reus or Griezmann as our left wingers, so where Pods usually plays, and a top striker to lead the line rather than getting Draxler and trying to convert him into a striker which doesn't sound too promising as he's fairly slow.

Ramsey - CDM

Ox/Feo - Ozil - Griezmann/Reus

I know you got this Reus obsession Munchies but I can categorically say we've got 0% chance of getting him. Dortmund won't sell him especially after already losing Ledwandoski and with possibly Gundogen going as well. Plus tbh we're not a much more of an attractive proposition than Dortmund if at all for Reus himself to force through the move.

Agree with Draxler. He's had a poor season and I'm not sure he's exactly what we need now and would be ridiculously expensive.

Greizmann on the other hand is perfect: proven and easily attainable. He's French, mates with Giroud and we've got leverage with Sociedad. God knows why we haven't snapped him up already. I'm going to kill Wenger if Real or PSG end up getting him at the end of the window and he ends up being class for them. It's signs of the usual dithering and indecisiveness from Wenger.

My hopeful line up for new season:

Ramsey - DM

Ox/Feo - Ozil/Santi - Griezmann

----Striker----


Though juding by Ornstein's last comments DM doesn't seem like a priority for Wenger and he'll probably try and eek out another season from Arteta/Flamini until one of his first choice targets is available (probably someone younger than Bender now).
