He's out of the Polish league...how much is he supposed to cost though? How much would Poland's best player cost us if he played for a top Polish team? That price was a good one for the player in the circumstances. He might turn out to be Thiago and he might turn out to be Thomas Eisfeld.......

It's more annoying that it makes main stream news than anything. They should have enough man power to get several targets. The signing is pretty inoffensive / nonevent really.

There you have it. The Polish league. Not sure how much he should cost, but we're not the only club with scouts and they'd be able to hold out for a bigger fee if more clubs were interested.

You realise we beat Hamburg to this signing? Hamburg stepped up and we beat them down like our bitch.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

It makes the news because Arsenal spent money

I would say it's offensive to supporters that pay as much as they do week/year in week/year out, the highest prices in Europe and then see the club signing some nobody from Poland!

If that's the case we'd never sign another player for the academy.... Doesn't really work taken to its natural conclusion.

Let's just hope we make a few signings for now. We can still have our pound of flesh from Wenger's hind if we don't.....Szczesny's cousin or not.

[Chippy]

Definitely what we needed!

Wenger showing us again what an incompetent buffoon he is

Fucking, fuck me! What is Wenger doing? FFS !

Because no fucker is buying anyone. So any signing becomes big news. They have to fill their rancid pages with something. No one cares about this kid but it's just another column filled and another media salary fulfilled.

The new boy will be in the squad for City. He'll be on the bench and there is no way he's ready to play.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Admittedly...knowing he's going straight into the first team doesn't help matters. As already said....he can't be anything like ready for this level unless he is Fabregas when he was 15/16 good but Fabregas is still the best 16 year old I've ever seen play.

[Niall_Quinn]

I wonder how the rest of the squad views a guy with 6 career appearances heading straight into the squad? Not that it's up to them who's in the squad but it gives out a weird message considering Wenger is usually going on about not "killing" players already at the club. Afobe gets canned after doing well on loan, Campbell can't get a sniff, Podolski is gone, Rosicky is only in because everyone else is injured, Coquelin gets called back from a loan because everyone is injured, Jenks is ripping it up at West Ham and here comes a new kid who has made 6 professional appearances in a minor league. He must be amazing. Surely? Or Wenger is having trouble following the plot. One or the other.

[Power n Glory]

He's more of a gambler these days and youth development has gone out the window. He seems more interested in the thrill.

Instead of developing Coquelin, he'd rather jump on to a new project player. This kid was Coquelin some years ago when he was getting thrown into the big games like when he started against Man Utd. He wasn't ready then, he looks almost ready now, but Wenger is jumping ship again. Why?

It's the same with Afobe, Sanogo and Campbell. Same with Vela. We can spend ages getting these sort of players to the club but we spend very little time developing them and just jump ship when they look promising. I don't get it. Some players like Campbell and Afobe make promising signs but Wenger ignores them and buys another young prospect that leap frogs them into the first team.
