Satisfied with this (potential) signing. Not a mega star by any means but it's clear that Wenger doesn't feel that there are any gettable ones out there and that he doesn't rate the likes of Icardi or Lacazette.
Also quite reassuring that we managed to pip Everton to him as Koeman is certainly a good judge at evaluating players.

Perez looks better than what we have to be fair (but that's on a youtube video so), which is something, age is an issue though and he's not really likely to be the answer

That's what I thought about Janssen tbf.
And 24 goals is good. Just not great.
This is the first time in Prem history we've got 4 managers in the league that have experienced winning the title in top leagues as well as successfully defending their titles and they're all coaching the top English clubs in football.
That's leaving out Koeman at Everton who has an impressive CV with league titles and cups in Holland and Spain, Pochettino at Spurs and Bilic at West Ham. These 3 clubs will be pushing for 4th and they have managers that have that potential. 2 of them have/will have new stadiums.
This is unlike any other season and these coaches manage to keep their jobs for a few seasons at least, we're going to drop out of the top 4 at some point. We have to change managers at some point but I think we've stagnated for so long we're going to be in trouble when Wenger finally steps aside because the competition will be fierce.
You could be right but Janssen was very young, scoring goals at a young age is more unusual. As for the 24 goals, it's not the amount just when he scores them, he goes on long barren spells which stats just don't illustrate, it's better to have a player who scores more consistently.
Don't know anything about this Perez bloke but I've said in the past I'm not as caught up as others on a new striker being a super duper amazing worldie. As long as he gets a fair chance to prove himself and we look open to trying new things then good luck.
Tight when it comes to transfers and paying what the market says. Im sure you know what i mean.
So you think Wenger is a "tight cunt" who is "wasting money"?
What this Perez thing also shows is we have absolutely no transfer strategy, we're just nicking other clubs scouting because ours is so inadequate, Everton were well on their way to signing him, we probably had never even heard of him.
