Thomas Lemar

[Niall_Quinn]

We've can't shift Wellington Silva and we also have Joel Campbell coming back.

Silva's gone I thought? Back to Brazil?

Thought Campbell was gone too. Was that only a loan then? Poor bastard, he must be dreading coming back.

Wilshere to West Ham sounds like it might be real. If they agree to pay 9 mill for our future England captain.

Sounds like we've fucked all possibility of Lemar coming here. Playing the underbid game and waiting until the chavs and gypos had done their business didn't work out well for us. Big surprise. We wouldn't have Lacazette either, were it not for a transfer ban on the club he wanted to go to.

Alexis should be back now, so the fun and games will really start. Probability of this window resulting in Lacazette in/ Alexis out is increasing all the time. If that's how we end up it'll have to be qualified as yet another disastrous window. If this is the new and invigorated team in action, I'm not impressed.

Arsenal re-sign Wellington Silva from Fluminense but fail to move him onto Bordeaux after he fails medical

Yeah, Campbell was just a loan.

Always funny thinking back to all the academy prospects we had high hopes for.

We don't half stockpile some shite. Like most of the top clubs these days I guess.

Chelsea have 87 players on loan, none of which will ever play for their first team.

Problem seems to be we can't get rid of the shite we stockpile, Gibbs, Jenkinson, Walcott, Wellbeck, Coquelin, Chambers, Gabriel, Debuchy, Silva (won't include Campbell as he's decent but isn't given a chance), they're all on such high wages and most clubs can see they are average, so nw we're stuck with a huge wagebill because of players like this.....terrible management of transfers/players all round to be honest.

You dismiss Welbeck but think Joel Campbell is decent??

I think Welbeck is frustrating at best as a goal scorer, but his technical ability and contribution to play well exceeds that of Joel Campbell.

I'm not doing Campbell down, but if Wellbeck isnt Arsenal quality, Joel Campbell certainly isn't

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Jean Michel Serri would be a good signing, because it's obvious the player we missed most last season was Santi Cazorla

Someone who can control play in the middle of the park and create.

Exceeds? Nah.

Danny has the strength and work rate but not the technical ability. He can be very clumsy on the ball. Joel is a much better dribbler and passer. He's more creative plus he's always restricted to playing out on the wing.



Both have their strengths and weaknesses but I have no idea why Joel has never had the sort of run in the team Danny has had.
