Gervinho, Jenkinson and Oxo. 3 singings.

But why spend £12m on a player who wont be ready for a season or two (no matter how amazing he 'might' be) when A. we have loads of winger/attackers B. If Wenger doesnt win anything for those years he'l be either sacked or incredibly unpopular. C. Wengers going to have to leave sooner or later (hes 60 something), surely the priority should not be on future prospects, but on quality now, to rescue his diminishing reputation.

My only guess as to why he's bought this player is: Wenger thinks he's going to live forever, Oxo is second only to God, Wengers finally got Altzeimers.

Though if SAF got him (he was after him for a while) - we'd all be whining about it.

I for one welcome our ox-tailed Theo wanna be.

Being tackled is one of his career highlights so far? I feel sorry for these guys coming in, Wenger is asking them to hit the ground running and unless they play out of their skins they are going to be under constant pressure as the fans think about what could have been if we'd signed some battle ready players.

Looks strong, has a bit of pace, but the dribbling looks a bit loose to me. Like Theo, he depends on his pace to knock it past defenders and run but he won't get that much space in the Prem.

We'll soon see, but I can't see where this kid fits in to be honest. He's not a starter that's for sure and £12 - £15m for a bench player is pretty expensive. Theo, Arshavin and Gervinho will be our main wingers, Whilshere, Song and Ramsey will probably start if we lose Cesc and Nasri this season...so where does this kid play?

We've got him and he looks decent, but we have to sign first team calibre players before the window shuts. This kid will need a season before he's fully ready for the Prem. Hopefully, that's not the case and he blows everyone away and is starting straight off the bat, but I doubt it.

something tells me he's going to convert the lad into a striker.

@IgnasiMiquel: And for all the questions, I will not say I want to go back to barcelona when I am 24, I owe nothing to them.

I'll hold you to that motherfucker.

Stoke have signed Upson.

Hope he plays against us.

West Brom have signed Shane Long:

I think Woy can lead them to European football.

think that says quite a lot about the mood of the players when it comes to the cesc saga

[Master Splinter]

They might refuse Miquel re-entry into Spain on account of his dodgy accent anyway.

@cesc4official look at what @IgnasiMiquel said on his twitter page. You should remmeber that about barca. We took you when they didint.
