Great to hear Cesc is not returning. Fantastic player but we do not need to blow £30m plus wages on a CM. I want to see investment upfront first and foremost, that money has to be spent securing a couple of very good strikers to resolve that issue. Whatever is left we can spend in elsewhere.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Cesc even after his transfer to Barca but if he rolls up at Chavscum, then fuck him.
That's interesting.
We need to make it happen because the players need to be prepared mentally going into next season and not feel handicapped. It's where we've fallen so many times before and why we've found it hard to keep our players."We need to recruit a very, very good striker, because it's important for us, for competition for places, because Olivier needs that to become even better," said Koscielny, who recently signed a contract extension until 2019.
"Having a striker who scores more than 30 goals a season can help us win the Premier League. Compared to the squads like Manchester City, even United, Chelsea, you can see there's a certain difference."
Fuck me it's boring being an Arsenal fan at this time of year! Stupid, secretive club...

Rakitic is quite good. Shame we don't need him.
Anyway, I've come to report that Ribery has been ruled out of the world cup for France. This means that Greizzemann is certain to start for them in all their games!! We need to act now and fast before he puts in impressive performances and his value skyrockets! FFS, Wenger start moving now!
I think he's got a buyout clause, so he can do as well as he likes...
The whole Griezmann vs Draxler debate (from the other thread) does raise an interesting question - should we be going after the most impressive stats, or should we be concentrating more on attributes? In terms of output, you'd have to say that Griezmann looks the much better player right now, and would represent the better (cheaper) buy - however, the PL is a very different beast to Spain, and Draxler looks like he has the better build for it (and could be a bit of a monster with a bit of work)? I'm not sure which way I'd go, personally...
I don't think there should be any debate, Draxler is a player in a position we are overloaded with players (central midfield or players that can play in the hole)....Griezmann offers us something we just don't have especially on the left side and that is width.
