    He simply must get a very good one, surely he knows that and as he tried to get Vardy, then surely there will be one.
    He's done the same in the past though, when he's failed the get the player he's identified we've then gone into the new season with noone.

    I'm puzzled by this, I would have thought the priority this summer was a striker thus we should have kept most of the money to spend on this position and spent what left on the other positions, instead we've spent 33 million on a DM which was a position we could improve on but wasn't as crucial as the striker position.

    I think Wenger identifies the player and then goes for him rather than prioritising problem areas in the team.

    I agree and it wouldn't be the first time he's done it.

    I suppose we should be just thankful he's bought an outfield player this summer!

    It seems too early to leave Brazil to me.

    If Wenger likes cheap then why not sign Janssen from AZ Alkmaar for about 15 million.
    Thing is, 'too early' might be our only window to get these type of players - give it another couple of years and the Barcelonas and Madrids of this world will probably be all over them.

    (And I doubt he'll be cheap!)

    I think he'll be quite expensive now.

    It's the way it goes now.

    I didn't mean that he would be cheap, I meant that as Wenger tried to get Vardy for 20 million, then why not get somebody much younger for a bit less money.

    Janssen was 22 last week and would 'only' be about 15 million.

    I would like Janssen and Michy Batshuayi and get rid of Walcott who will never improve now.

    So at this point, lets say we get rid of crocks and shitheads like Walcott, Wilshere and Ramsey (may be).. where does that leave us with the homegrown quota? I always believed that Vardy was a +1 for English homegrown quota because we were going to -1 Walcott.

    With all the names being thrown around, how much consideration do we have to make for the homegrown quota?
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    Ramsey and Wilshere aren't going anywhere.
