Why haven't we signed Livermore and Snodgrass ffs

Yeah I'm not sure about Sanchez up top, in Giroud's role at least, will work. However he could easily operate across the front line and certainly take some of the burden off Giroud by playing with him. His finishing has been quite clinical over the past 12 months so if we don't sign a traditional CF then it's a pretty damn good alternative.

I don't see Sanchez as the person to challenge Giroud but want us to pay what is necessary to land him and then have a go at bringing in Remy, a cheap good option

Would give us

CF Giroud, Remy, Yaya

CF but can play wide Sanchez, Feo, Polodski, Remy, Campbell?

More than enough talent there?

Either would be welcome at this point.

In support of Schneiderlin, I'm sure I read that he's been statistically the best defensive midfielder in the Prem for two years running now, in that he's made more tackles and interceptions than anyone else in that position in both seasons? He's not a flashy player, but he's got a good engine on him, he's a decent passer, and, most importantly, he looks alert and gets the job done. Don't know if I'd say he was a £25m+ player, but he's got a lot going in his favour.

Good that we seem to be sounding out a variety of options this summer, and not pinning all our hopes on one player...

Very fair argument mate. I've heard similar noises and I was impressed by his compilation video against us. I do however, like you seem to suggest, think there are superior players for that amount around, albeit NOT proven in the premiership. The Lovren negotiations puts into doubt though that we could even get him for 25 million. Whatever happens Wenger really needs to sign the solution this summer...no more need to dither about. We've had a year of the cheap option in Flamini, however useful he can be.

Ironically Lovren and Sanchez are both players I wanted us to sign a couple of years ago.

We've signed Hugo Keto, a powerful and pacey U19 Finnish goalkeeper.

Not now Keto, you fool.

18 years old and we beat Liverpool to the transfer despite the player being a boyhood Liverpool fan. So much for RAWK's belief of players being more attracted to Liverpool than Arsenal.

Very highly rated apparently and said to be the next Courtois.

Wouldn't be too surprised if he's Number 2 next season.

A U19 Finnish GK to be our No2 next season? I know a No2 generally doesn't do much but what if Szszesny gets injured or suspended? He will actually have to play!

This is when we realise how lucky we were to have Fabianski as our deputy for a last few years.

However it feels good to hear of the first signing, and probable second in Debuchy

Well I've just discovered that the Mail article contains some incorrect facts (never happened before in a Mail article tbh). He's only 16, not 18, so yeah ......... no chance he's going to be number two then. Straight to academy more likely. At least I hope so.


Still though, he's already meant to be 6ft 3in (assuming this isn't also wrong from the Mail) so think how tall he's going to be once he stops growing! We've got a giant on our hands.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Or maybe he has stopped growing a year ago, as I did when I was 15! I know it isn't necessarily the norm but it does happen. Anyway, this is even more underwhelming than the English lad we signed the other day!
