Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Letters]

One things for sure, everyone remembers the fact we've never won the CL and not won the title in over 10 years.

Yep, that's what Spurs fans will use as sticks to beat us with, Arsenal fans will be proud of the fact that thanks to the last 2 seasons we're now the most successful side in FA Cup history, and half of those have been won under Wenger.

News is we upped our bid on Benny......still low balling but what do you expect.....tbf 35 is not that far off.....is there a release clause

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There will be a buyout clause but they can get very complicated in Spain; not sure what it is set at in Benzema's case but a lot higher than what they paid for him I would have thought.

Stopped reading here:



Because that's entirely untrue so doesn't bode well for the rest of the article.

This insecurity regarding Ozil is one of the weirdest things ive seen from our fanbase. Believe it or not Ozil HAS been inconsistent, which is why neutrals don't suck him off. If he changes that this season, great.

He's a huge player who, in the eyes of the media, picked the wrong club. They would have loved him at one of their clubs. But he picked Arsenal hence the relentless campaign. In terms of consistency, if you judge him by the very highest standards, he's a had the odd off-day here and there. If you judge him against virtually every other player in the PL then 5 minutes from him has been worth 90 from them - so what do you prefer, their 90 minutes of consistent dross? Where some people have gone wrong is expecting him to win every game single-handedly. Messi, on his best day, could maybe pull that off, nobody else though. So the expectations are already ludicrous. That's where the charges against him stem from, he can quietly control a game but if he hasn't beaten four opponents and rammed it in the net he's been anonymous. It's just the media and a section of the fan base, who wouldn't know football if they were hit in the face by it, that have these weird ideas about performance levels.

If you like football, you love Ozil.

A pure player. A joy to watch. And he's ours. Aren't we lucky?

To be honest I much prefer David Silva.

Of course you do.

Think we've been here before, going after a player at a club who don't need to sell, don't have anyone else lined up, on top of that they are loaded so unless he's surplus to their needs he won't be going.

If we don't have someone else lined up and are relying on signing him we're fools.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There isn't anybody else better than Benzema that we could get - it may well end in tears but isn't this what people wanted for Arsenal, to show 'ambition'?
