Winter Transfer Window - Cold and Lonely.

[Gooner23]

Yeah, that's not really a judgment on his talent. I think he's a decent player but we're not using him as a striker or even a starter.

I think he merits a run in the side. His numbers are pretty decent given he's hardly had a look in.

[Goonermerree]

Me. I wanted him here. But it would have been shameful, that's true. The idea was Wenger might knock this silly plan of his on the head and start playing proper football with wingers and strikers and centre forwards and even defenders. It's true, Vardy in the current system would be laughable. That's why he didn't come. I suppose the one decent thing Wenger has done is solve the problem by moving Alexis up front.

Right up until he moved Giroud back there.

Giroud keeps scoring though.

I told you.

I hold a similar view on the Xhaka signing. It made no sense to buy him for this current system. But I guess if we'd have signed Vardy he'd have tried to shoehorn him in somehow.

He does but I think his position has been set as a wide forward. As a striker he won’t get ahead of Giroud or Sanchez.

Every opinion on Arsenal is a "what if". What if we were a normal team, then wouldn't it make sense to buy this guy or that guy? But if you then have to suggest who we should buy in terms of the system Wenger favours, it's just silly. We've conceded he won't spend what's necessary to get the very best, so the players you'd really want to see are off the table. In a way we've all become subject to his bargain bucket mentality. 9 pieces of meat for only ...! Yes, that piece of chopped liver could do a job. No, that off-cut isn't good enough, even by our standards.

[Goonermerree]

Wenger against the January transfer window, he says. No, Arsene, you are against all transfer windows!

It's not even a bargain bucket thing anymore. The guy is just mental. For what we paid for Xhaka we could have paid for Vidal a year before, Gundogan or even Kante. We had other options that would have suited us more but we went for Xhaka.

hes always been the worlds biggest prevaricator, he has two types of signings one he has scoped out for a long time and panic buys.

Yep

[Globalgunner]

Right now Wenger is thinking about maybe making his mind up if he should consider maybe buying some players this window. Or what other options there are that could feasibly see us selling [players and therefore having a spending surplus that along with a 4th place finish should earn him a performance bonus at the end of the season.
