NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Forget about Balotelli, who would you like us to sign?Originally Posted by Steve French
Sure....
So for 35m who do you think would be a good signing?
In the current climate, Giroud, Campbell and possibly Benzema or someone of that calibre. Heck there are strikers in weaker PL teams that could prosper here. How much the Club is willing to expend on our striking situation is a mystery to me - but they have the scouts and the resources - if they come up with Balotelli that is worrying to me.
And I am focussing on Balotelli here because he is the topic of the thread. If the worst scenario presents itself and it is Balotelli or nothing, I'll opt for the latter and this world cup has if anything reinforced my thoughts on him.
Fair enough, so essentially you don't think Balotelli is any better than Giroud. I have concerns over Balotelli's temperament, who doesn't? But he has a lot of ability and a lot of scope for improving, that's why I suspect others on here wouldn't mind us signing him. Balotelli would deliver immediately IMO or at the very least match Giroud's stats.
As an alternative Benzema is a good player and would be a good signing, whether he would be any better than Balotelli is open to debate, Benzema as it stands isn't available so it's really a mute point.
If we stick with what we currently have we are going nowhere, Giroud has done his auditions as first choice and isn't good enough. He will keep us ticking over but he doesn't have the quality to take us up another level. I don't think it's a case of Balotelli or nothing, more a case of someone of his ability being amongst the best for the price we are willing to pay and the player actually being available. I mean it's not like we are going to cherry pick stars of our CL rivals...
I know what Balotelli is capable of, but I'm confident he won't deliver. Give me someone good who we know we can rely on to deliver to their potential most games so we know what to expect over a player who has the potential to be brilliant yet will only apply themselves to produce glimpses of their brilliance and probably only when you're already 3-0 up. That is what we'll get with Balotelli, so no thanks.
I honestly believe we'd be better off getting acceptable depth in the striker position, rather than playing the same workhorses into the ground and when they are out of form. If we have acceptable depth - we could add another 15-20 goals without relying on a superstar (which Balotelli aint) signing.
It's ON! July 10th new kit release PUMA and ArsKerching Wenger to make it happen $.$...how to sell shirts
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
50 million? Where did that figure come from? I thought it was 32 million odd? Or are you doing the accountants thing of adding the wages in to it over the contract length?
I'd throw the sink at Falcao is he wasn't on the third party malarkey train....
Of course not everyone will even think Balotelli is that talented though. Some people think Wilshere is a water carrier! I just hope that whatever Wenger does, it is concerted, intentional and ideally planned.
No getting two fingers from the specialist in being an eejiot on the last day of the window by trying to sign Demba Ba.
I agree that a top forward a shade or two below the upper echelons of world class would suffice with an astute signing in a wide position. I'm quite looking forward to seeing Joe Campbell for us..... Not just because of his ability but because he looks like he has the physicality to not have that ability disappear up his arse, the moment we play an away game North of Watford.
Good news for the 'no to Balotelli' camp - Wenger has apparently told some TV show he was appearing on that the stories about us signing him are pure invention, and there's absolutely no truth behind any of it...

Didn't want him anyway - fucking nutter!
Makes sense, we're probably not even looking at the moment, when we finally do it will probably be someone very low key.
