Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

We still need at least one more CF, DM and CB. Let's focus on that instead of asking why we didn't spend the rest of our budget on a CM even though we already have Ramsey and Ozil there.


Ozil will play against Everton this weekend so he will be fit to play in the second leg. We also still have Santi, Rosicky and Wilshere in the squad, but yeah let's just buy a £30m player to cover instead

Cesc shits on Santi, Rosicky and Wilshere in every department, so having him in our team would significantly enhance our chances of winning the league or champions league. But yeah let's just ignore that

Cesc forced his way out of the club and now plays for a cunt.

Can we all just move on please?

Everyone was raving about Mata when he arrived, but chavball killed him in the end. After one game, everyone is raving about Cesc. Let's see what the ultimate effect of chavball has on him.

Giroud's and Sanogo's recent performances have bumped the striker position to the new #1 emergency priority. At this point I'd settle for Kalou, just somebody who has the basic skills to trap a ball, lay off a 2 yard pass, compete for a header.

Agree with you 100% but you were suggesting yesterday that we should relax & see how the season pans out. Since RVP's departure we have a massive need for a proven goalscorer, Wumger has bought in the likes of Chamakh, Giorud & Sonogo because he won't spend what a top striker costs. Wenger is relaxing & seeing how the season pans out & he's been doing it for years. Get your fucking cheque book out, we've got £60 mill+ sat in the bank & buy a proper forward. Not some shit french bloke who can score goals in a shit league. Serioulsy, Wenger scouting on Chamakh, Giroud & Sonogo - what part of his brain decided they were ever good enough.
If anyone recorded the game last night just count how many times Giroud's poor touch, poor pass & lack of ability broke our moves down, 4 of these resulting in dangerous counter attacks from Besiktas - he is no better than Bendtner, can you imagine the stick King Nic would have got last night. It was the worst performance from an Arsenal player against shit opposition that I can remember for a very long time, Eboue was probably the last one that springs to mind. A non-league player would have not been that bad. Yet, we don't sub at half time & he stays on all game.
To not see that Giroud is simply never going the be a top striker is a worrying condemnation of Wenger - he only sticks by these players because of personal pride that won't allow others to tell him that the player he has bought is shit.
You will never see a game like yesterday for a very long time, they gave away the ball so many times to us in & around their box & we did fuck all. A quality forward line would have taken 3 or 4 of those chances.
For the sake of this season, we need to replace Giroud.

I was saying before we decide who's a star or a flop or worth £30mill or who's going to win the league, let's see a bit more of the season unwind. But we don't need to wait to know that Sanogo is not up to this level. And if Bif is going to play like that then we need an alternative sharpish. We know he's better than that because we have seen him play well. Trouble is, when he's on form he's above average at best, but when he's off form he's awful. Maybe he needs a long rest. In which case I can't see why we don't play Ox wide and move Alexis into the centre while we wait for Walcott to come back. We don't see the players train every day so there may be reasons why that can't be tried right now, but whatever happens we can't survive many more performances like the ones Giroud and Sanogo have been putting in. Something will have to change or we'll start losing games. Wenger talks about consistency, our strikers are consistently poor at the moment. I assume that's not the sort of consistency he's looking for.

Some reports saying Balotelli wants £150k pw week wages. NET! That's laughable. No wonder his fee is dropping like a stone.

Again I agree with you but if we all know that BIf is at best "above average" then he shouldn't be there. Unless Wenger is trying to produce an above average team we need to buy quality to compete with the teams we're up against. We seem to keep faith with average players for far too long under Wenger. I agree that Sanchez is a potential solution especially when Theo's back but that's not till late Sept/Oct - but unless Wenger see's what everyone else seems to see, we could already be out of the C.L & have lost ground on the Chavs & Mancs by then. With Rambo out, I am already concerned with how we will score in the 2ng leg, 3 hours of football against Palace & Besiktas and we can't score from open play.

United are paying 100% of Nani's wages while he's on loan to Sporting Lisbon.

Why not just keep him?
