    I think Seaman was one of the all time greats, Schmeichal was even better. Lehmann was a big part of getting us to the CL Final but he wasn't consistently brilliant.

    Whether Kolasinac is a good signing is more debatable but that's not the point I'm picking Zim up on. I don't care what his price is, there have plenty of very highly priced flops, by all accounts he's a good player and he sounds like the sort of player we need. I personally think it's a good signing. Whether he will fit in to the way we play and be effective for us remains to be seen but you could say that for any player, even Lacazette.
    Once again, as I've said about 5 times now (are you not reading it properly?), despite saying I was happy with the signing (which I would be), the signing was NOT completed, this doesn't change the fact I'm happy with it if it does indeed happen (which it looks at the moment it will), but I knew then, like I know now he's not signed yet.

    Nothing to do with suiting or not suiting me, it's pure facts.

    As for the free transfer, I'd suggest you have more chance of getting a top player if you pay for him than if you get him for free, moreover despite the fact he was free he didn't exactly have loads of top club after him, which if he was a top top player he would because he would cost them nothing.

    IMO Lacazette is a safer bet than that other guy, because he's proven he can score goals regularly for several season, this other guy, well I'm not too sure what he's proven, he's relatively unknown.

    Try to follow…..in other threads, the debate was on whether Lacazette would be a good target. Zim has said he’d be happy with that signing if we get him. I’ve said the same despite some people saying he’s the ‘French Welbek’ - Following? There was no declaration that we’ve had a good summer with that signing. So early on, you’d have to be an idiot to declare something like that so early on considering we haven’t sorted business out with Sanchez and Ozil.

    We haven’t even confirmed the deal for Lacazette so we should even hold off from talking about signing two players already.

    He has now, but that's not what he said at the time I was making my point. He just said he was happy with the signing.
    GP didn't say we'd had a good summer, all he said - this was in response to the question about why we take so long to sign players - was that we'd made 2 signings already.
    Yes there is an assumption there that the Lacazette deal is in the bag so GPs comment was a little premature but this isn't paper-talk, it looks like this one is going to happen.
    I'm sure we'll all feel happier when it's on the Arsenal site though.

    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    Pretty much. It’s not hard to follow.

    If the deal is confirmed, this would be the first time I’ve seen us pursue a player so publically. From the bid to the medical, we don’t usually see deals played out in the open like this and we often fail to get our target when it’s like this. I would say things look to have changed but if we lose Sanchez and Ozil and repeat the same mistakes of the past, it paints a very different picture.

    You really need to go back and read.

    At first I thought you’d take sentences out of context to suit your argument but now I’m wondering about your eyesight.

    GP
    Does it?

    2 in the bag already, barely into July. It's a pretty good window so far.
    Ralph
    What 2 are you. Referring to? Also worth noting how often we let 'major' players contracts hit final 12 months.
    Zim
    Yeah I'm wondering too, so far all we've signed is some freebie who was simple to sign as we didn't really have much competitions and which involved no trnsfer of money.

    Mind you this from the same guy who said Mbappe was our primary target which is laughable considering the cost.
