He did ok with Adebayor tbf, and that's who Sanogo most reminds me of.
If he scores 30 odd goals and asks for a pay rise, maybe Wenger will pay it this time.
Listen Benny Hill, I'm a little busy preparing a motion to kick your ass.
If he could do it again, then sure why not. If he were to put in half arsed performances, flirt with other clubs and generally become an all round ****, then nah.
A thrilling win over a near relegated Hull? Well true, they weren't exactly the toughest opposition in the final, however you ignore that we had to play spurs (derbies are always tough games), liverpool and everton to get to the final. We would have played city too if they beat wigan, however you can only beat who is in front of you. It was a trophy and it was glorious.
You say the money argument is blown away by the fact liverpool should and could have won it. You choose to ignore the amount they have spent to get there. Since 2010 their spending has totalled over £230 million. So liverpool, city and chelsea all spent millions more then us and so for liverpool to finish above us for the first time in years, it doesn't blow the argument away at all. And they played 42 games last season with no european travelling. We played something like 56 games with european travelling too. The effect of the extra rest liverpool got cannot be underestimated.
Finally, you say to compete we need to address the issues. This summer, to address injury issues, we go and sign a world renowned fitness coach, who helped Germany win the world cup. We saw a problem last season, and we went to fix it. Whether he does or doesn't we won't know but the club actively sort to fix it. With players, we went out to sign Sanchez, a world class player. Thats improvement, we have also replaced two players who left with good replacements who are probably on the same level as the ones who left and signed a young prospect.
I think the Sanogo-Adebayor comparisons are fair but very optimistic. Sanogo seems to pick the right options but can't sort his feet out, and I don't agree he has the basic ingredients. His shooting technique is all over the place.
Ideally he would have a loan spell to get more games but Wenger has said a couple of times that he has worked hard on improving him and he wants to continue with it. It'd be one of his biggest achievements if he got him playing like Adebayor because at the moment he plays as well as he dances.
Yes, that’s the main problem with him. He can’t sort his feet out quick enough. Everything else to his game is decent but his shooting lets him down badly and I’m wondering if it’s just rust. I’m going to check out some old vids of him because his goal scoring record at youth level is supposed to be good. But I’ve yet to see him produce a clean, crisp and true shot.
It was only the other season when Ramsey was still producing the most unorthodox of finishes in great positions time and time again. He skied some out of the stadium from two yards out.
The most important thing is that Sanogo is constantly getting in to good positions and has good instincts in the right areas. It will all soon click and then it will be on to the next young player to doubt Wenger over.
I do fear he'll be the striking Diaby though, given his stop-start career so far.
The most aptly named man on GW.
1, Do you honestly think Wenger starts the season worrying about the FA cup. Its not taken very seriously which is why muppet teams get to win it or make finals, semi's. The delusional idiots that think this win covers the cracks of whats been happening for the past decade are simply embarrasing.
2, What on earth are you on about - we have spent £228 million on players since 2010.
3, My point on transfers is that we haven't addressed our weaknesses. I have never said Sanchez is a bad buy or a shit player, he's probably going to be very good but everyone in football bar Wenger knows we need CB cover & a defensive midfielder. Arteta is too slow, too weak & stops us playing. If someone here says "Don't you think Wenger has realised that", I would say "I fucking hope so but then why would you make him captain." - Do you make your captain someone you know you need to replace or someone that's going to sit on the bench for the season? - the obvious answer is ofcourse not, nobody would do that - well Wenger would, its what he did to Tommy V.
Southampton sign Shane Long for £12m.

People keep paying a lot of money for a striker who's almost as allergic to goals as Heskey. "But he runs about loads and is a nuisance!" Yeah, maybe for his first four games.
Southampton were doing OK with their transfers, but their last two have been Bertrand and Long. The descent into relegation-battling fodder has sadly been hastened.
No - Sonogo has the basic ingredients to be shite.
