Karim Benzema

[Kano]

Presumably he'd only leave if that safe status was jeopardised by Marketing making some media headline/ vote rigging signing in the striker role, like Barca did with Suarez last year ridiculously getting rid of Alexis in the process. Even then, I agree, there are better options for him in terms of football. But if the lure is London and the chavs pass then I suppose a move might be convenient for all parties. Do we want a player coming for the London sights and sounds?

We fucked up massively by letting Vidal sail past without raising a finger. That's the kind of character we need (on the pitch at least). Wenger at his most stubborn and blind. Vidal would have been enough for a serious title push. It would have forced the mad bloke in charge to bust up his second rate formation and tactics. Which is probably one of the reasons he ran a mile while a top, top, top, top, top, top quality player who would most certainly improve the team was sailing by right under his nose. Alonso wasn't top, top, top, top, top quality either. He would have killed our one paced, tippy-tappy darlings.

Yep Vidal was the one, the potential game changer for us under Wenger. Not the best passer or dribbler of the ball but we have those in abundance. It would've been like having another Alexis in midfield, harassing the shit out of opposing teams and creating a dynamic in our team we haven't seen for years. And he went for £25m. Unreal. I would've been happy for us to pay twice that amount for him. But again, when you look at the options football wise for him, there is no competition between us and Bayern. A CL semi-final team at least alongside a guaranteed league medal. Instead we get Coquelin. A hard working, well-intentioned player but just another work in progress alongside a host of other players shoehorned into a formation that doesn't fit the personnel.

Shouldve got Benteke tbh..

The Belgian John Fashunu? No thanks.

So Shia Leboeuf ain't coming and now we all want to see some MJ lookalike girl's junk? Can we terminate this thread now.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it? Tonight was his opportunity to prove we were wrong not to sign him, and he failed.

There's still time for it being Happy Benzema Day.

Happy Sanogo recalled day.

Happy Sanogo recalled day.

That's a joke right?

Not a funny one either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't worry, he is still with Ajax. The new Bergkamp.

[AFC Leveller]

One of the DeBoer brothers said that he doesnt know what sanogo's qualities actually are and cant see him making the grade

Wenger's bigggest wind up since Bischoff?
