Agree with that. Has all the ability in the world but would rather be passer and provider over getting goals. Wenger needs to drag that out of him like he did with Cesc.Originally Posted by Syn

He doesn't have the drive. Hazard does, that's why he is likened to Ronaldo.
United interested in Sadio Mane.
Slight step down from Pedro.
Wasn't someone, on this forum, mentioning how we should take a look at Mane either this year or in a few years or something?
Yes Herbert Chapman. I thought of him as soon as I heard the news. Is there something with Mane I'm missing here!??
I personally think we need competition/upgrade on Le Coq and an upgrade on Giroud of we want to challenge for the title and make good progress in CL. We have a good squad but it's not perfect and can be improved upon. I think we can upgrade on those players for fees well within our budget. I really don't understand this "we work with what we've got" mentality, the current squad wasn't strong enough to win the title last season and I certainly don't think it will be this season either. I'm baffled why Wenger is hesitant to improve the team.
A strong team is built on a solid spine of which a DCM is a central part, but a world class forward will cover a multitude of sins!!
Winning you games you neither deserve nor look likely to win are a huge part in why the top forwards cost the big bucks.
Clearly we've simply paid Theo hush money.
Vidal is the new Alonso. £28mill, chicken feed in the crazy world of modern football transfers when players like Cavani are being hawked around for £50mill plus silly wages. Vidal joined on £90k per week, apparently. £50k per week less than Theo, apparently.
Wenger said he'd move if top, top, top quality became available. Looks like he lied.
Or maybe he thought we couldn't use a player like Vidal and that having another player with the work ethic of Alexis would be a waste of time. Besides, we've had a Vieira shaped hole in the team for a decade now so I suppose we should be used to it.
He ran the rule over Yaya Toure a couple of times too, but evidently not top, top, top quality enough.
But he'll collect attacking midfielders for fun. We're treble stocked, no issues there apart from the fact trying to get them all on the pitch unbalances the team.
Or maybe he's thinking this year GK, next year DM, year after that striker?
In some ways, mainly in all ways conceivable, if he doesn't sign a striker that can help us mount a serious challenge at home and in Europe he's emphatically negligent.
Alexis isn't a striker, Theo isn't going to become a top predator in the next two weeks, Welbeck may never get back on the pitch again and Bif is decent. Decent doesn't win you the big prizes. And anyway, I thought we were after top, top, top quality.
Für eure Sicherheit
Wenger has pushed this "top, top quality" and "better than what we have nonsense" for years when in reality it's BS, a lot of the time he doesn't buy players that are better than what we have, that's why we get lumbered with players who don't deliver when you need them to. He's had plenty of chances to sign the right players, most of the time he's passed them up, other times he's gone for players he didn't have a hope of getting, yes he's signed a couple top players in recent years and he has to get some credit for that, but when is he actually going to sign those players in positions we need.
