Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

With regards to Negredo, I've heard of him for quite a few years now as his name has always been linked in the transfer rumours to various top clubs, sort of like a Phillipe Mexes but I'd always assumed due to the fact that no one (not just us) had gone in for him for years meant that it was just the usual false media hype and hot air surrounding any player who goes on a scoring streak.

Clearly a big mistake though and when you look at the current going rate for top top quality strikers (50 million +) and our recent difficulty in procuring one it just makes it all the more painful. A real diamond hidden in plain sight who was available at a fair rate for so many years - I would question the scouting but then again it wasn't just us who failed in this regard. Oh well, not much point lamenting on it too much ...... nothing we can do now ..... .he's going to be at City for the foreseeable future and bang in 20 goals + every season . Just need to make sure we don't slip up like that again.


Googled Griezmann .... seems a bit meh. One for the future I guess.

Isn't he a winger? Do we need another one?

Wiki says he can play up front as well.

Do we have any wingers? Ox just coming back…will need a bit of time…Gnabry 17 can't play every game…anyone else? Di Maria a good shout if he's out of favour…Draxler looks like he might become an excellent number 10 but can play on the wing and what a team player at 19…rarely seen anything like him - excellent finisher too. I say Wenger 'go for it' this window…seriously the prices won't be much different…just a bit more tricky convincing the players/clubs to leave mid-way through season…but at least if we do business now, they might also find replacements.

Griezmann seems to like Giroud

Is Sanogo still injured? Or is he a backup for Park?

Hey Maccy, how good is Griezmann?

No go for me. If we are going to buy wide attacker or CAM, best to get Draxler or Reus or both of them.

[Munchies]

Pretty good. Slightly questionable attitude - was recently banned after going for a late night session before matchday but otherwise has had a great 18 months. Scored some beauties this season, has a very strong strike and with no little skill.

In short: sign him up!

Make it happen Wenger !

I've never seen him play tbf

Who else needed a first team striker this summer besides us? City bought him out of greed, Utd are sorted in that department too, Chelsea are in the hunt now because their summer signing were flops! Real, Barca, Bayern....all well stocked...Juve bought Tevez, Cavani went to PSG, Falcao Monaco.....

Most other clubs have bought a top quality striker and we're the only ones that are lacking.

I would agree. Our need to buy a top forward was far greater than most other top clubs. Clearly that was the clubs feeling too having made 2 huge bids for forwards, yet we ended up on deadline day hoping Mourinho was in charitable mood. Shock horror,he didn't fancy doing us any favours, even to the behest of his own players. It was disappointing to say the least.
