Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City bought Otamendi for £32 milion.

That's £74 million on just two defenders from this summer and last. Why do we watch this shit?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I am not really understanding what a striker like Benzema or Cavani would bring to this squad.. you can lay the blame game on Giroud all you like, but the problem is that we just do not have much creativity in games where the other team is set up solidly in defense. Unless we have a dramatic change in mindset as to how we approach different games then strikes like Benzema and Cavani will have the same end product like Giroud.

If however you can pick someone like Suarez or Aguero, then you are talking business... but then there is not many of them available from the big clubs. May be we should punt on the 'next Aguero or Suarez' rather than splash the cash on strikers who will likely have the same goal return as Giroud.

I think we have the creative quality in the squad, it's just we have a manager obsessed with central attacking midfielders who invariably won't bring on players with pace and width until it's too late.
As far as I'm concerned two of three of Ox/Walcott/Sanchez should be playing every game and alternated so that those three will start two out of three games and come off the bench for the third.
And then we can alternate between Giroud and Welbeck up front depending on who we are playing, but oh no Ozil, Cazorla and Ramsey have to play every game no matter what.
If we used our squad sensibly, yes there would still be the need for additions (another holding midfielder to take the weight off Coquelins shoulders) but we'd be in a much better place with injuries, and we'd have the ability to get in behind teams defending deep without congesting the middle of the park.

Completely agree, I think we look so much more dangerous with pace on both flanks. But he always seems to revert back to congesting the midfield.

2 out of The Ox, Theo and Sanchez at all times sounds good to me.

[Marc Overmars]

WUMger only stumbles upon dynamic line ups when injuries force his hand. Fully expect the likes of Wilshere, Cazorla, Ramsey and Ozil to be shoehorned into odd positions for the rest of the season.

I know, let's play a list the arsenal flops game, more interesting than imagining we will sign someone.

Right let's try to work from recent and go back in time .....keep the chain of names intact

I'll start with:

Chamakh

Nah, a better game would be 'where are they now'. A good chunk of them are M.I.A.

Lets buy back Cesc and play him DM

Cesc earning rave reviews from Chelsea fans:

Znape ‏@ZoydPls
Kudos to whoever hacked into Fabregas's phone and set the calendar to January.

Eid ‏@EidHagi
Fabregas is the worst player ive seen in my 42 years of supporting chelsea, get out of my club you wasteman

Sid. ‏@10EH_
I never question Jose but how does Fabregas start in big games. He is the most terrible first team playmaker Jose has ever had..

Mo ‏@Jokerinho
Leave our club Fabregas.

⚠ KING JOE ⚠ ‏@joecolman9
@ChelseaFC and also tell him that Fabregas is crap, slow and past it if you care to watch football, you have plenty of money, spend it!

Aayush Sidd ‏@slicesofIife
Fabregas as invisible as soldier in camo gear. Awful.

Caius Livius ‏@Nziramasanga
Chelsea had a short pre-season but it's no excuse for today's result. Fabregas should be sold, he's finished #CFC

God's Gift ‏@JoeNuga
What does Fabregas have to do to get benched, or sold? He's a liability. An injury layoff might be in order.

Wenger created him you fool. The lack of discipline in his movement was picked up here at Arsenal and you only have to look at Ramsey and Wilshere as testament to that.

[Marc Overmars]

As good as Cesc can be, he's always been an extremely passive player. Definitely needs babysitting if you want to see him excel.
