    Just heard that too. Hope he's bluffing.

    Madrid have been trying to offload Isco as well.

    He is bluffing we are on the verge of signing two Nigerian teenagers.

    That's the way Wenger thinks too and that's the problem, he signs players not because we need them or in the positions we need but because he likes the look of them or fancies taking them on as another pet project.

    Not really the correct way to build a team.

    Campbell's pretty good as she's shown this season, we don't desperately need a winger, we do however desperately need a goalscorer. Giroud and Walcott are not adequate.

    And have a look at the wide players we have. Outside of Sanchez, none of them are world beaters. We haven't had quality wide attackers since Nasri.
    Fair enough, it's probably not true. Or worse, it's not true but will be used anyway to keep the fans quiet with promises of jam tomorrow.

    I think the worked up bit comes from the mention of yet another "utility" player that would fit into Wenger's insane tippy tappy bullshit. Wingers who can also "play there", midfielders who can "also play there". Why don't we just buy a striker, and obviously I don't mean Morata?

    He's also looking at some kid from Leicester, apparently. For the full back slots. Why? So maybe the kid is talented but we have far more pressing areas that need reinforcement.

    Wenger should have replaced Vieira years ago. And found a dedicated replacement for RvC when he left. Instead we've had one striker who is, let's say okay, and then wingers who can play there, or players who can be "converted" to the role and other such Wenger crap.

    Santi Cazorla is our best option in the central midfield FFS! He's done well, but why have we passed up so many windows in which we could have filled that role with a genuine central midfielder suited for this league?

    We've had Chamakhs and Sanogos up top, and what the hell was Welbeck all about? Why hasn't he gone out and bought a bloody quality striker given all the cash that's sloshing around and our continued and desperate need for one?

    I mean what the fuck is he playing at and how complicated does this need to be?

    Supposedly the gypos want Isco so that's us out of the running. Not that we need another attacking midfielder anyway.

    I think we do. He can play a deeper role like Cazorla.

    Not really bothered about Isco we don't need another attacking midfielder like you say, keep the money and spend it on a striker.

    He'd cost a fortune and to be honest we have plenty of midfielders, yes sure it would be great sign him but he's not what we needed, we should have signed a top class DM instead of Eleny, that won't happen now so let's hope he's good.

    Reports say Real are shopping him around for £25m. That's a bargain if true. I've got no problem with Elneny playing a DM role.

    We're missing real quality in the middle. Ozil, Cazorla and Rosicky are the best we have at creating and passing and that's not enough.
