Sounds like the most 'Arsenal' shopping list in the world, if you ask me? You know Arsene can't sleep at night unless he has half of the world's central midfielders on his books.Originally Posted by Blink 1nce Quince 2wice
Besides, who says he's planning on playing them in central midfield? We could easily be signing these two as wingers, or CBs...
maybe after all we don't need anyone. Leicester won the league but that an anomaly so we can discount that. therefore we really finished 1st.
We are the champions of second place.
Wenger confirms Giroud will be our number 1 striker next season, but that he is on the lookout for another face to replace Wellbeck.
Looks like we're going to get another middle of the road forward (like Wellbeck, Walcott etc) and not the top finisher we've been crying out for for years, though oddly he acknowledges Giroud scores in cycles and has some strong and weak moments.
What should be happening is that we should be getting a new number 1 striker and he should be a backup.

No quote of him actually saying Giroud will be #1 - the Standard quote the word "Yes" and then attribute it to the article headline. That said, anyone expecting Wenger to do what is required in the transfer window, resignget a top striker, will be sorely disappointed. We know how he operates. Leave us short and gamble that somebody will eventually transform into a worldbeater. One of these days a Sanogo or Giroud is suddenly going to become Thierry Henry, wait and see. Any decade now it will happen.
Für eure Sicherheit
I'd settle for the Dutch kid who scored a bucket load.......at least try and sign somebody with a good record who might be the real deal rather than do nothing.
Has Kante got a buy out clause? I'd love to see him in our midfield.
Aye, looks like there's actually some options out there this year, so no excuse for not getting someone this time. Maybe not too many / any super-elite CFs available, but I'm seeing plenty of promising younger strikers who are doing well at their respective levels. I'd happily take a chance on one of them at the moment.
Plenty of goal-scoring wide forwards who might be available too (and some of them are top level), so there's another, indirect option - buy another wide forward > try Sanchez as a striker.
Apparently so - £20m, or something.
Honestly, at that price I'd be tempted, even if we do sign Xhaka - someone else can fuck off or move over...
WUMger should be all over Kante, especially if he has the release clause.
