That's what annoys me, we rarely pay the 'big' money for someone half decent, but waste the same amount on a few players of limited quality who add very little to the team. Just buy the class in the first place, other payers want to play with the best, we could then attract other, better players. Not to mention the success we could achieve attracting better players too.Originally Posted by Özim
Yeah a bonus, sadly that'll be the end of our chances of signing a top quality striker for years.
Totally agree.
If we have two players that can score 15+ potentially then that surely is better than having one. You would hope that if one hits a wall and doesn't score, the other one can step in and carry that on. Whether or not that is this guy, it remains to be seen. Either way, as long as he has an Arsenal shirt on he deserves our support to prove himself. This is where we are now, whether we like it or not.
I always support the team.Every game when Walcott starts I will him to reach the dizzy heights that I expected of him ten years ago. I always cheer Giroud on, but, when they fluff up, I get mad at them.
I don't doubt that for a second. Most fans are the same too. It's the maddening hope that keeps us coming back for more.
It is difficult with Giroud though, when you see him at matches, and not just the tv camera following the ball, I've seen him not move for a ball unless it was within 2 metres of him. I think Walcott has got to a point where he just tries too hard.
What bothers me is we come up with these quick fixes, time after time rather than biting the bullet and signing quality, inevitably we end up paying the price and end up being stuck with journeyman for years, just sick of this, Giroud, Wellbeck now potentially this guy, we haven't had a decent striker since 2012!
I don't know how good El Nenny will be for us, but on and off the ball, he works his socks off. You can't ask for more.
It bothers nearly all of us but what other option is there right now if you want to actively support the team? We can complain forever and drive ourselves mad on a message board or give the guy a go and hope. That's all there is. We all know what we would've preferred but this is it for the short term, if Wenger was to leave at the end of the season. You have your thoughts about that, I have mine, neither of us know definitively if he will stay or go. All we can do is deal with the now. When something in life fucks up that is out of our control, you can either knuckle down and swallow it for the time being or make life ten times harder when there is nothing you can do to change it in the meantime. The only other option is to walk away but that is even more difficult to do more often than not.
