Not to reign on this parade, but I don't think he cares. I didn't begrudge him leaving at the time but I did the way in which he did so.
Anyway that's too much money for Higuain and I'm not sure why Real would seriously entertain selling Benzema.
Really? Understandable why he wanted out. But you don't think in retirement years he won't regret not having that icon status where he can return to a stadium like Henry and Wright to crowd showing complete gratitude? That little boy inside him knows what I'm talking about. When he moved to Utd, I don't think he pictured one medal and then out. He doesn't strike me as a player just about the money.
He finally got his medal but he must be wondering what if he stayed at Arsenal. We finally look like we're building something and he just missed out.
Anything over £30m for Higuain is overpriced, but if he's the final cog in the team that could win us the league it's worth overpaying. I'm not convinced that Higuain is that final cog, but he's definitely a much better goal scorer than Giroud or Welbeck. £45m for Higuain or start the season with what he already have?
He wont regret anything unless we win the league or the Champions league. If we do it will make it that little bit sweeter thinking about all the RVPs and Nasris that have stabbed us in the back. Not that winning any of those trophies would need any more 'sweetness'![]()
We will not be buying Benzema.
Madrid would not sell him, he would not want to go and of course Giroud is French and Wenger would not have two players for the same position from the same country especially if they were both internationals.
I cannot believe we would pay all that money for Higuain.
I hope we are buying Aubameyang and Carvalho, that would be amazing but it is just a dream.
Higuain has been shit for a couple of seasons now hasn't he? Or has it been three seasons?

53 goals in 102 appearances for Napoli, not worth the money De Laurentis (I wonder if he's related to Dino De Laurentis?) wants but far better stats than any of our strikers.
Is he? Whenever I've seen him play he's looked decidedly ordinary. Is he significantly better than Giroud or Walcott? Say in the Suarez or Aguero bracket - players who would make a real difference? Can't see it. The fee attached to him appears to be insane, even by football standards.

I don’t think his brain works like that. It’s not about passports. We had Giroud but he also bought Sanogo and if that kid have turned into the new Anelka as he hoped, he’d have kept his position in the squad. The problem with buying two players in their peak is that you can’t play both at the same time and rotation isn’t always good for building confidence and Wenger is all about building confidence in players and he does so by assuring players game time. I don’t think he wants the team selection headache and he won’t keep an unhappy player that isn’t playing. Best way around that problem for Wenger is to have a developing player as cover and an experienced first teamer.
